Josie
was too tiny to make
it up one step when
she first arrived at
Dog
Branch Farm
3 months old
"Look how fast I am!"
Sheba,
our Bombay cat, served
as Josie’s adopted
mother when Josie
arrived at our farm at
11 wks old. Though Josie
outgrew their shared
bed, she began to sleep
on the rim of the “donut
bed” to stay close with
her “feline step-mommy”.
Josie
paid her dues for
being cared for by
Sheba as a youngster
herself and adopted
an orphan kitten to
raise.
Ready to “pop”!
Josie pictured
just a few days
before delivery
of 4 pups
“Ahhh-nothing
like a
snooze in
the sun on
the beach”
After a
roll in
the sand
Josie
practiced
her
mothering
with
Spartacus
when
he
was
a
tiny
kitten
“Look
what
I
can
do”
Josie
frequently
nudges
Spartacus
to
get
her
face
cleaned
by
his
rough
tongue
Josie
loves
the
little
Shetland
Pony
named
Jewell,
and
frequently
runs
to
the
fence
to
ask
for
kisses
from
the
pinto
pony
