Pippin Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 In Jan 2004, a beautiful black racing greyhound named Amain retired and moved from FL to GA. She moved into a foster home with Greyt Friends, a greyhound adoption group , and started learning how to be a pet. She discovered beds, and wading pools, and waited for the right person to discover her. It had to be a very special person, because Amain was afraid of new things, and needed someone who would understand her fears. In Nov 2004 Amain moved in with me, and learned a new name - Casey, aka Casey-girl. She chose me, out of all the humans in the world, to be the one she loved. She chose me to be her safe place, to protect her from all the scary stuff out there in the big bad world. I made her a promise on the day she came home with me, that I would take care of her to the best of my ability, always choose to do what was best for her, and when it was time to let her go, I would.Today, my Casey-girl and I went to see Doc, and Doc agreed that it was time. I sat with her and scratched her ears, and told her she was the best Casey-girl in the whole wide world, and that I would always love her. I thanked her for choosing me as her person and her safe place, and told her that I'm a better person because she was part of my life.She's free now, chasing butterflies across that bridge made of rainbows, visiting with Angie & Zoe and Jessie, shining like a black diamond in my heart and my memories, running free in good health with no pain and no fear.She is my brave girl, whose spirit was way stronger than her body, who never admitted how much she hurt, and who loved me more than she loved herself.

Casey has always had a very special place in my heart. I hope she has found her friend Loca. I'm so very, very sorry The reason I was awake to talk about her was because she was having a bad night, and I was wrestling with our options. I'm sure that she & Loca are having a blast together.
