A very special time in my life was when I was 8 years old.  My mom dad and I went to The Barking Lot to get a dog.  Her was originally Izzie.  We got home and thought of a new name.  I picked Josie. Josie peed on the floor.  The next day when I got back from school the house was destroyed!  Josie does not like to be alone.
