Josie and the PussyCats
“As cat people,” said Shauna, “our fam-
ily worried that a canine wouldn’t get along
with, or would terrorize our precious fe-
lines.
Then a neighbor, a young mother of four,
developed a serious illness. We helped them
with meals, gardening and walked their
beautiful, well-trained Golden Retriever
Roxy — the ideal dog to ‘borrow’.
A few years later, after our neighbor
passed, her family was dealt another blow.
When they moved, they couldn’t take Roxy,
so they gifted her to us.
When we brought Roxy home, she fol-
lowed instructions to ignore our cats, and
the cats ignored her. The dog/cat détente
worked wonderfully. Soon, Roxy’s great
nature, wonderful company, warm heart and
famous Retriever smile magically trans-
formed us into dog people. We realized that
our family would forever more be incom-
plete without a dog.
When Roxy was a senior, we wanted her
to live on by training and mentoring our
fi rst puppy. We adopted a Golden Retriever
puppy, and Roxy was amazing with her. She
seemed to turn into a puppy herself!
Devastatingly, the 13-month-old puppy
died of unknown causes. Our family, in-
cluding Roxy, was heartbroken.
As pet parents, we knew that another dog
would heal our hearts. We wanted one fast,
because time was of the essence for our ag-
ing Roxy. We wanted another light-colored
Retriever, as homage to our puppy.
We located an English Cream Golden
Retriever 3,000 miles away. Tate and I fl ew
out to see the puppy, and our hearts melted
at her sweet face and the way she placed her
little head into our hands as we petted her.
We named the playful polar-bear-cub
look-alike, Josie, to tie her in to our two
cats, Pudding and Mini-Moo. Why Josie?
Well after the Archie comic books’ female
band ‘Josie and the Pussycats’! Josie was
also trained to stay away from the cats and
certainly not to chase them. It would not be
fair to have our cats be uncomfortable in
their own home.
Roxy was thrilled with her new protégé.
She once again did a fabulous job teach-
ing and modeling for Josie how to become
a great family pet. For the next two years,
Roxy shared her many wonderful traits with
our new Retriever before she passed.
Now Josie is a mentoring dog. (Roxy
would be so proud!) Many of our friends’
puppies have spent hours under her gentle
and playful tutelage.
We love Josie’s expressive and enthusi-
astic eyes when she’s thinking, ‘I’m about
comfort. Pudding now curls up with Josie
and they sleep together.
True to her gentle nature, Josie ensures
that she doesn’t disturb Pudding while the
cat naps, nestled into her deep-cream fur.
Our family enjoys watching our two beau-
tiful, fl uffy pets now adore, rather than ig-
nore, each other!”

to get a treat’, or her gentle ‘I love you’
face, and how she individually raises one
eyebrow, then the other, like she’s trying to
discern what we’re saying. She’s also great
company, as she is always by our side.”
“When I was away at university,” said
Tate, “I experienced ‘pet withdrawal’. I
missed cat-study-cuddle-breaks and walks
with Josie. My family put Josie on Skype
for a ‘visit’ but it didn’t make sense to her.
When she heard my voice, she would search
the house and be confused because I wasn’t
there.
When I returned home, it was joyful be-
cause having Josie is like having a little sis-
ter/best friend to do fun things with and take
care of. I joke that I’m the ‘middle child’
and my dog is our spoiled youngest child. I
am never lonely when she’s around, and she
keeps me active doing fun things like fi nd-
ing new hiking trails and lakes.
When I have my own home, I will adopt
both cats and dogs because they each have
different personalities and attributes - mak-
ing wonderful companions. I graduated
with a degree in Psychology with a focus
in Marketing, and now have a full time job
and a volunteer job. The plan is to become
fi nancially stable before I adopt any pets.”
“Meanwhile the copasetic mutual “ignor-
ing” between dog and cats in our home suc-
cessfully continued,” said Shauna. “That is,
until last October when our eldest cat Mini-
Moo passed away.
To everyone’s surprise, most of all Josie’s,
our remaining 11-year-old feline, Pudding,
who was aloof to pretty much everyone and
everything, except Tate, changed. In grief
and loneliness, she approached Josie for

BEWARE
Caution walking pets on a ‘warm’ day!
When the air temperature is a mere 77’ the
asphalt/road pavement/sidewalk measures
125’.
Remember if you can’t walk barefoot on
the pavement, neither should your pet.
Test the asphalt with the back of your hand
before a walk.

The American Medical Association Journal
states that “At 125’ F, skin destruction can
happen in 60 seconds” and that is skin on
your pets’ paws!

SPECTACULAR
“The hierarchy of the ‘family pack’ is im-
portant for dogs in order for them to behave
nicely around cats and their humans,” said
Shauna. “Dogs need to believe that they
are the lowest on the totem pole. (In a way
that they know they are still loved and taken
care of, of course.) At the top is the “Alpha”
(trainer/person who is with the dog most),
then other family members, then the cats,
and then the dog at the bottom.
Dogs don’t mind being at the bottom of
the heap, but rather appreciate knowing
where they stand. Because of this, Josie
manages herself with a quiet confi dence
with us around other dogs. My husband
jokes that he’s actually the one at the bottom
of the totem pole because of all the attention
our pets receive!”
