We said goodbye to Casey last Tuesday. She had been sick for a while (she was suffering from the primary stages of kidney failure). She was also having a hard time walking on stairs - I had been carrying her down the stairs for a couple of months now - and she was losing weight.
I think I was only keeping her alive so that I wouldn't feel guilty. I finally figured, I'm either gonna feel guilty now or a month from now. Of course it's never easy. The vet said I made a good decision. That made me feel a bit better.
Megan still makes me tell her the story about when I got Casey. a couple of times a week. She was only about 5 weeks old and my mom and I got her from this woman on the Michigan/Indiana border. My mom was driving my car while I held Casey on my lap. She got car sick and puked on me (that's Megan's favorite part) and then crawled into my coat sleeve via my armpit and slept the rest of the way.
She was definitely a great dog and I won't be getting another one for a good long time - none would measure up to this one.

This is so sad....I love Casey!!! One of my favorite stories is when we lived in Logan Square and I would fall asleep on the couch watching TV, Casey would pace the room like "What the hell get off the couch so I can go to sleep!" So sorry to see her go, I will miss you!!!!!
