JOSH-by-Gosh

To Josh-With Love

I'll never have another German Shepherd with a sense of humor like Josh-by-Gosh. The van never left without Josh-by-Gosh, Am. Canadian, United Kennel Club UD, ASCDX, U AG1, TDI, TT and 4 UDX legs into his title.

I heard if you want to make God laugh, make plans. I had more fun with Josh at school presentations as he had to clean so many kid's ears and how they loved it. I got letters asking for Josh to come back next year so they could pet and hug him. When Josh was intense his tongue would lick uncontrollably, staring me right in the eye. He would bring me his tennis ball or Frisbee over and over, hoping for one more toss. He never wanted to quit. I cry everytime I think about what his last hours must have been like. He lived life with great enthusiasm. I'll never get over his loss.

Thanks Josh for seven and a half years of fun and laughs. You sure enjoyed biting at the hose water. I want to thank everyone who called us, sent cards and letters. It helped so much in healing the broken hearts.

I especially want to thank Diane Thayer, Elaine Knight, Jill Smith, Sue Fischer, and Kathy Wise Steiner for the plaque they gave Josh and me at Paws with a Cause in Wayland, Michigan, in his honor. I love you for it. Also, I wish to thank Lynn Simms for the touching picture she gave me in Josh's memory - it's perfect.

Sincerely,

Maddy

Josh's Last Brag

Josh got his last United Kennel Club UD leg April 1st with a score of 189, making him a triple UD Dog. He was also the High Combined dog that day.
