That we have lost a member of our family. Casey our black lab passed away on Saturday, April 2nd. She was a valued companion and will be missed greatly by all of us. We got her when she was 9 weeks old. Casey's health had started to deteriorate in the last year, and she was diagnosed with severe arthritis in her spine. We were able to keep her comfortable with medication and she had a good quality of life up to the last day. Both Eric and I are glad now that we went ahead and got the puppies in December so as to give Rocky (our yellow lab) some time to bond with them. He is having a hard time adjusting to not having her with us.
We are at peace knowing that she is not in pain and is able to retrieve her rope toy to her hearts content now.
