The Snow Was Over My Head

Bobcat and her parents arrived in Edinboro without incident on Christmas Eve. She continues to be a happy traveler although she is less willing to sleep through the entire flight.

All the Johansen siblings and cousins were present to celebrate the white, then wet, then white again Christmas. Josie experienced her first snowfall and freezing temperatures. The weather didn't phase her. She was happy to stay holed up at the homestead.

Josie was very enthusiastic about her furry cousins Louie and Dixie. They are cuddlier than her cat friends in San Diego. Josie couldn't really get into Louie's short coat, but she loved the sniffs he doled out.

"Any squash or apple bits on that face for me?"

Dixie has a much fuzzier, grabable coat and, due to her larger size, was easier to get the grip of.

Scent of a Bobcat

The Steelers beat the Ravens, but Josie isn't convinced they can make it to a wildcard spot. It has been a disappointing season. The yelling will not be missed.

Showcasing her bulging tooth bumps

Josie attended many parties of friends, family, and neighbors. She just loves meeting new people. Mom and Dad are super stoked that the Bobcat still retains her ability to pass out in her car seat while the party rolls on.

Cousin Avery was happy to be reunited with Josie. They entertain one another despite their different sizes, temperaments, and mobilities. Avery crawls away as fast as anyone will let her, whereas Josie is rewarded for her lack of crawlitude. Rather than athleticism, Bobcat's focus has been on her verbal stylings. It appears that Daddy is the favorite -- or maybe just the letter "D".
