Eulogy

Our beloved girl Josie passed away peacefully in our arms last Monday evening and twodogs are finally reunited. Giving a nod to her prize-fighting lineage and due, largely, to the mental instability that she enjoyed most of her life, the Hoser terrorized one Tiny Frog, two neighbors, a pug, and a Travis County Deputy before climbing calmly into the van and taking a nap. We buried her “way down back” at Jason & Cat’s farm with a planting of Texas Sage in her honor. The torrential rains of the past several days tell us that Mother Earth and Father Sky mourn sweet Josie’s passing along with us, but as the vegetables grow and the sage blooms, we are comforted by nature’s cycles. We imagine that when she and Eli take a break from playing “stick,” she is glad to finally be free of the fears and injuries that plagued her. Our Josie, Josephina, JoseRose, Hosie, Hoser, Hoses, Hosehead, Little Round Head, we will love you and miss you always.
