Sad, sad day




Today we had to put our fearless kitty, Casey, to sleep. We got him 13 years ago from a neighbor in Providence, UT. From there he moved with us to Colorado Springs, CO and lastly flew from CO to FL with us. He knew no boundaries, the neighborhood was his playground. He liked taking walks with the family around the block. He was our pheasant hunting, dog wrestling, rat catching bully! He had a chunk missing out of his ear, would often show up with missing tufts of fur and scars on his nose. He was seriously the cat with 9 lives, we nursed him back to health on numerous occasions. Casey could also be the biggest baby, curling up next to us with his big motor running, "nursing" on the blanket he rested on. He always let his little sister, Onyx, eat first.
We will surely miss our most loyal friend, Case. Til we meet again!

Sorry about Casie. I think it is tough to loose a pet especially when you have had them so long.

That is so sad you lost Casey. We had a puppy named Melon. We lost him due to someone running him over and knocking his head out hard. He wasn't even bleeding. He just got knocked out of his socks and passed away within 10 minutes after the accident. It was sad but we will cherish the moments we had with him. I was sad to see him go. It is hard to raise another dog right now because I had a good relationship with Melon. But I am warming up to this dog we have now. He is pretty smart.=)
