A Birthday!!!!

Casey Turns 8 Years Old Today!

Before:


Show dog in the making!

Today:


Here she is with a little bit of gray, in her favorite spot waiting for her b-day cookie!

Casey, our C dog of the Alphabet Goldens.  She is our first girl.  She has just been the perfect girl for the entire 8 years!  She has taught me what a show dog who LOVES to show is like.  She is the first golden of ours who just loves the ball. She loves her woobies and her Gary too.  She is so very intense.  She looks you right in the eyes and searches your soul.  She is a wonderful girl who lays under my desk all day as I work and she now sleeps in our bed, in between the two of us, upside down all night long.  Sometimes she even runs in her sleep, mostly kicking Gary as she goes!

So, here she is in puppy hood:

The boys so didn't know what to do with her...


She was all over Ashby!


Loves Swimming


and finds herself in precarious places!  ;)

Then she went on to win her Championship at age six (it should have been much sooner) on my birthday weekend!

Let's see by this time, she had a surgery, one lump removal (not cancerous) and had raging allergies in which I had to perform a comb over on the show side!


Here she is a few years ago waiting for a ball.  Now, in her 8 years, she's had 4 surgeries, a cyst removed (actually burst), two attempts at becoming a Mom (one ended in pyo), and an allergy test.  But she's more than worth all the vet bills!

So, Casey, here's to another 8 years!  Yes, i'll go get you another birthday cookie before we go to bed and yes, we can go to the doggie store tomorrow and pick out a new woobie that Emma can't have!

Casey was spaded today...

Well, our Champion, supposed to be foundation bitch was spaded today at 7 years old. Poor Casey, I felt so bad for her today when I took her in. That is perhaps why I waited so long to schedule her for spay surgery. You see I've known since the first of the year that I needed to do it, because she was older, but also because of her history of pyo (uterus infection). However, I just couldn't bring myself to set the silly appointment because I was traumatized by watching her come out of anesthia (sp?) at one of her other surgeries. And of course I just hate for my babies to be in pain.

So, I was on pins and needles today, waiting for the all clear. And hubs is out of town on a business trip too. When I dropped Missy Case off this morning, they all asked where he was. Because when she had pyo and was going through that treatment, we both took her up there every day for her treatment and walked her around after her shot before she had to spend the day with them. So, it's not very often that when we do vet visits that we both aren't there. I've missed him...

But she came home and is just fine...but of course very loopy from the drugs. I set her up on a bed and she fell asleep, but then she didn't want to settle, because she wanted to be by me, so I took my computer to the floor to type the blog... She just looks so miserable...but I know it was the right choice...
