josie at an adoption event!

Well folks, my scared and shy little girl was a hit at her first adoption event! Miss Josie went to the Holistic Animal Health Fair in September and she just shined. Her sweet and mellow temperment were so evident. She let everyone pet her and admire her. Isn't she lovely!?

Newest news about Josie!

Josie is officially the healthy, happy pointer lady I knew she could be. She is the princess of our house. We just adore her. Josie is trim and pretty from her restful summer and her daily 3 mile walks. She walks with her tail high in the air! The horribly unsettled Midwest summer weather has her much more at ease with thunder and lightning-now she mostly snoozes thru the stormy nites-immersion therapy we are thinking! As we enjoy Josie's sweet temperment, we know she needs a doggie companion to play with-but any nice dog will do-she is enamored with mostly all dogs she meets. Her play style is gentle, she loves to play box with our gsp, and when Josie is done, she simply sits down or walks away. Josie is a good mannered dog-so any kids need to be polite and not rough around her. Josie would be an ideal companion for someone looking for a dog that is trust-worthy in the home, a dog that would be company for their own nice canine, a walker-she loves her walks. Josie is part of our loving pack of 3 dogs. Any potential adopter will have to convince 2 adults and 2 other dogs that we should let this little lady go to them:)

group love

Josie would be great in a multi dog household. She gets along great in our 4 (!) dog home, which includes 2 very rambunctious young dogs and a grumpy standard poodle. Josie is quite content to join in the chase game around the yard, and when she has had enough, just quietly comes over to keep her humans company. I can't say enough good things about this dog. She is tolerant and peaceable and pretty and sweet. Josie is a cuddler who will let you pick her up and lay her across your lap-the only one of my dogs who will do this. The picture above is Josie sharing the bed with pointers plus one visitor, all on MY bed!

what's up with Josie?

Miss Josie has been an awesome ambassador for taking in a new foster,Sage. The puppy has got to be annoying to her-climbing on her, putting her muzzle in Josie's bowl, barking at her to play, but Josie is just a patient and sweet lady dog, who lets it roll off her back. Josie is doing so great post-hw treatment. She is a nice healthy weight and size, and is a stunner trotting around the yard "hunting" for squirrels.

after a long day of 4th of July partying...

Josie is ready to kick back in her favorite spot, the BED.

Here is Josie saying "hi" to new foster sis, Sage. What a good girl Josie is around other dogs!

josie's top ten

Josie here. I have been thru alot to get to this point, but I am thru with my hw treatment and resting up for meeting my furever family, whoever you might be! My foster mom laughs because she thinks I am sort of opinionated, like not always wanting what she cooks or not wanting to go outside just because she thinks it's time-don't worry, I know when it's time! And hey, sometimes, I have to have a few sniffs before I dig in, unlike some foster brother and sister I could mention! Being a spirited lady I do have some opinions, mostly things I love:
#10. I enjoy my water with ice cubes.
#9. It means alot to me to have someone feed me and not hurry me up, food is to be savored.
#8. Squirrels and bunnies-enough said!
#7. My lambswool mattress in my crate-heaven.
#6. Hot dogs-the perfect food.
#5. Riding in the front seat of the car.
#4. Being with my doggie buds. Cole for his confidence and Ceres for her enthusiasm.
#3. My newfound hope that life is good and someone will love me. Right now it is my foster mom, and she loves me very much.
#2. Walks! I am the best behaved of the bunch on leash.
#1. Kisses and cuddles and lovey talk-nothing is too embarrassing, right now it is honey this and baby that, and I am eating it up!
