Nanny's Casey

Nanny has been through a lot in her lifetime. More than

I can think about really.

Yesterday she had to part, temporarily of course,

with her best friend Casey. Nanny doesn't strike you as one

of those dog types but Casey came into her life when she needed

some joy. And that is just what he gave her.

A lot of joy.

She sent me the following:

Hi! My Name is Casey; I am almost 16 months old. Look at me I am as cute as a button.

I really am just a little kid at heart. I came home with my new family when I was 12.5

Months old. At first I missed my old home, but then I found out that these folks had the same kind of food. Not so bad I thought.

Just wanted to let you know that I am pretty Smart. I only had two accidents and they were not really my fault. They didn’t take me out on time. They call me smart because I found out real quick what the word OUT means. I love to go there. My crate is my bed, and MY place to go when I want to be alone. My mother works from 8:30am to 2:00pm. I can wait because I know that the rest of my day will be a lot of fun. She calls me her little boy, I just love it. She brushes me and scratches me every day. I love attention, but I am not a bother. I like people but I have real manners, I don’t jump all over them.

I don’t beg for people food, just my food. Barking is not my favorite thing to do. I let my mother know if someone is at the door that’s it folks, I am not a yipper. My cousin is a Golden Retriever, her name is Goldie. Boy, she is really neat. She really likes the little kid on the block. We play hide and seek; of course I always win. Oh by the way I love the car. Those tellers know a way to a guy’s heart.

If you are thinking about a pet, it’s ok to adopt a relative of mine that’s a little older. Like my mom always says I am the cutest little boy she has ever had, and she should know she had eight kids and she likes me best. Go ahead, go for it.

See you at the nearest tree,

Casey

Just a little note to say good-bye; I am going home today to be with my best friend Goldie.

She has been waiting for me. I really have had a lot of pain lately, but Dr. Ward, (A Real Great Doctor took good care of me). I know that she and my Mom cried when I left; it was time. Goldie’s Mom will miss me I know, Karen really loved me and Mary was MY Cookie Lady, and she saw to the cookies. John and Ellen knew a Top Dog when they saw me, how lucky they were to have had me in their life. To all my friends and Isabel and Renee, thank you for loving me. It was returned three fold. Now it’s time to play tug of war with Goldie on that cloud; look up, do you all see that really White Bichon Frise and that beautiful Red Golden Retriever; that's us, and all those angels playing with us.

See you on the nearest Cloud,

Casey
