Josie sat on the ground on top of a red and black plaid blanket, playing mindlessly with Blue. When she’d first gotten to the high school she spent a good chuck of time playing with her, but after a while Josie needed to take care of herself. She needed food, among other things, and while she loved having Blue by her side, not everyone appreciated having a dog nearby when there was also food nearby.
However, now that she’d said hi to several familiar faces and fed herself she was back to playing with Blue, thankful that Caring Claws was there to take care of her while Josie was busy.
Josie pulled back as she usually did, swung her arm forward, and released, sending the plush, slightly ragged stuffed squirrel flying through the air. She never tossed the toy too far, but this time a young boy had stepped into range, leaving the stuffed squirrel to land directed at his feet. Blue bounded over and Josie followed, ready to introduce herself and her puppy to the young boy and the woman standing behind him.
“Hi there! This is Blue,” Josie began as Blue clamped her tiny teeth around the squirrel’s tail and shook her head at full force. She reached down, took the toy, and handed it to the young boy. “You can throw it for her if you want. She and I are both thankful that Caring Claws remember to bring toys, because we forgot.” Josie shook her head as she nearly forgot to introduce herself. “I’m Josie, by the way. Josie Edwards.”
