Date of Death: 

July 21, 2025

Today, we had to say goodbye to our sweet angel Josie; Lymphoma, a merciless beast, took her from us way too soon and just short of her 4 year gotcha day. In the back of mind I really thought we could beat this cancerous beast with my Turkey Tail Mushrooms, CBD oil and homemade organic food. But the beast beat us.

As I move through our home trying to escape the pain of missing her, I picked up all of her 5 comfy beds and all of the supplies needed to manage her disease. There are diapers, towels, and washable pee pads. In the pantry are Hill Science Cancer diet cans and kibbles, high protein biscuits and the pink bowls we used to feed her. The kitchen counter is filled with her medications, which became more and more difficult to give her as the days wore on.

Josie was/is the dog of a lifetime and it was our good fortune to choose her. She was well known in our neighborhood for her sweet disposition and good girl behavior. So good, so sweet, and always happy to be with us, I think she knew how much we loved her. We took no vacations without for the 4 years we were blessed to have her and rarely went anywhere without our girl. She loved the beach and loved to ride in our pontoon boat and swim in the bay.

I know she will not be our last dog and I have hope that we will love another as much as we loved her. But I needed to write this tribute to her because I needed to share with the group. And finally, if anyone In the MAGSR family is in need of any of her left over supplies, cancer food, diapers, pee pads etc, please dm me.

With profound sadness,

Dave Susen and Carol Pomeroy Susen

Proud parents of the late, great, Josie Susen.
