Jodi Ewart Shadoff Spends More Time With Her Dogs Than With Anyone Else
Twelve-year-old Zia, the older of the two dogs, is named in reference to New Mexico’s state flag, Shadoff says. She attended the University of New Mexico, where she was a two-time NCAA All-American, and named her first dog in honor of that time in her life.“When I went to get Zia, she actually probably picked me,” Shadoff explains. “She came and sat on my feet. So I was like, ‘O.K., I guess I’m taking this one home.
He’s a bit more chill, Shadoff says. The way the two dogs interact with each other and the people around them actually appears to mirror another relationship in Shadoff’s life.“A lot of people say that [Zia’s] personality is a lot like me, and Winston's a lot like my husband,” she says. "So it's funny. They're so different, but they get on so well.”
Like many professional athletes, Shadoff says the toughest thing about having Zia and Winston is being away from them, because they’re her “best friends.” Shadoff says that when she’s out on tour and asked what she does for fun, the top answer is always the same: “I spend time with my dogs. And that's pretty much it.”All in all, Shadoff says the biggest impact from her pets has been the way they alleviate her anxiety. “I just feel so much more relaxed when I'm with them,” she explains.
