Farewell

This is a difficult post.

We had to say goodbye to Casey.

We thought she was done with her seizures.

They came back worse than before.  They left her blind and hardly able to walk.

We had her for four and a half years.

She was quiet but fun.

This is Casey on the day we got her.

I don't really have a lot of Casey stories.

She followed Nolan around everywhere.

She was very photogenic.

She wasn't a hyper dog so it was easy to take pictures of her.

This picture still makes me smile.

Nolan was hanging upside down on the slide and

Casey came right over to lick his head.

She was an excellent hunter.

She stalked our hens.

We may have lost a hen or two or three because of her.

Playing in the ditch.

Trying a selfie with the dog.

She was quite the obedient dog.

It was almost scary how obedient she was.

She got to the point where we could walk out the gate, leave it open and

she wouldn't come out of the yard unless you called her.

Her only "downside" was that pesky tongue.

She wasn't an aggressive licker, just persistent!

Casey watching the boys sled down the hill.

Neither of the boys will fess up as to who took this picture.

Pretty sure it wasn't Casey.

She was very calm and quiet.

She loved walks down the road.

She always walked by our side which was strange to us because

Rosie would always run down the road ahead of us.

Sitting in the front yard watching the boys play ball.

Napping, as any labrador would.

When Rosie died our cat needed a new pillow.

Casey obliged.

Their relationship was a strange one.

The were actually great friends.

They played together and even shared the doghouse.

This morning the cat was looking for her.

There's going to be an adjustment period for us.

We've never lived in the house and not had a dog.
