I am glad to hear that you are still trying with Casey. Try everything before you give up! You never know. You don't want to be looking back thinking about would haves and could haves.

There's alot of pages here, so I wasn't able to read everything entirely. But I did read that letter from the lady that wants the dog. Yes, it may be confusing at first if the dog can't come inside. But I don't think it is as horrible as people think. I can see if both people work all day long and the dog sits in the backyard alone. Then yes, the dog should be inside all night. But it sounds like Casey would get enough stimulation all day long. It sounds to me like Casey will be to pooped to care. I really don't think that letter is a crock either. I live in a primarily farming area. Most farmers have perfectly well balanced happy dogs that never see indoors in their lives. A farm dog gets much more stimulation outdoor with their owner then a city dog with working parents will ever see. Inside or out.
