A note from Josie's mom:
Today Josie and I are at the Newfoundland Club of America National Specialty in Rhode Island. Around noon she will be entering the show ring as part of the 2026 class of Living Legends. This honor goes to dogs that have achieved an age greater than 10. Life expectancy for Newfoundlands is roughly 8-10 years. Josie is 12½. She is in very good health for her age. Her only real health issue is arthritis and it is well manage with a low does of medication. This achievement is not my accomplishment. I give Josie and God all the credit for this. I hope to post a picture of her from the ring and with her medal later. She has spent her life looking out for me, I am so glad I have a way to honor her and celebrate that she is just an absolute blessing.
