Thank you everyone. I really appreciate your loving thoughts for Casey. I had a very hard time with losing her. It was unexpected in that I expected to have a warning that she was failing. I know it was for the best and try to console myself that when I took her from the sanctuary I expected she would live 2-3 months. Instead she lived one week short of 7 months. I try to be content with that. She loved me so much and I loved her..she would get so excited when I talked to her.... They let me hold her at the end, which was of great comfort. Our four-footed friends surely do wind their way around our hearts...
