Crystal~

I am so glad that those people showed their true colors. Casey is much better off with his loving family--no matter what it takes.

Who cares if he was a purebred or not--and his tail--that doesn't matter--the opinion of many is that it is cruel to do anyway.

I'm so glad everyone here gave such honest responses, and you trusted your instinct.

I read in another post that you had taught Casey to roll over and something else, unfortunately I can't remember
Teaching him new tricks stimulates his mind too, and I know he is an intelligent dog, so you should never run out of tricks to teach him!!!!
