67. I never heard of that book

but I'll read it now. I work nights and came home one morning and there he was on my porch, my husband came outside and called him over and said Ï think we'll call him Joe. My husband said as soon as he saw him, he knew his name was Joe and the puppy knew his name was Joe. Joe was very much like this cat, just walked in the house like he always lived here.
