In Memory of Casey 2004-2020

SADLY....

My Sweet Little Buddy Casey has departed this Earth for places unknown...


He came into my life on Sept 24th  of 2014, so I had him going on 6 yrs....I think he was about 10 when I first found him...you can read that blog post here in case you were not a reader back in those days...

He was an explorer and he loved to travel, I took him all over the USA with me, he was my trusty shotgun rider for many thousands of miles...From Canada to California, from Florida to Washington From Colorado to Texas, he was a good camp dog he rarely barked or disturbed anyone....and he brought joy into my life.



...this was in Florida near the Everglades....and this one we were on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan...



Of course I am crushed and fell right back into full grief mode, he was not doing well this entire year but he started with seizures this month and began to have them everyday and it was so brutal on his little body.  He was 16 yrs old best of my knowledge, his teeth were rotten and missing, he was almost completely deaf, and he could barely see as cataracts had clouded his wise eyes...he had been unable  to go outside without help so he had to be hand carried for quite some time now.

He passed in my arms with the help of a kind vet who came outside and spared me the grief of that hospital setting, and Casey and I were sitting in the open barn doors of  the van he loved to ride in so much...he was never a lap dog and he did not like to be held but he allowed me that warm last cuddle which I will never forget. 


His energy and life force live on in my memory and his body was laid to rest in the back yard alongside Breezy and Grizz who went long before him.  He taught me patience, kindness, and love.  His step sisters Annie and Flossie, were at his graveside and that gave me comfort.

 

Try living your life at 10 inches tall and waiting on your Mom to pick you up so you can get back in the house...it was my pleasure. 



Least we forget the Law of the Universe, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction...

He came into my life, now he has left my life. 
R,I,P, my forever little friend.
                                                          I will mourn him till I join him.



PEACE
Every day is a new Adventure.
