This is Cassie. She was my husband's dog. He and his son Dillon had gotten her as puppy about 6 years ago. She was an interesting, high maintenance, finicky little dog. She could easily stress herself out, especially if you dared to travel with her. She loved her "daddy" and Micah loved her very much.
Sara has a heart for animals so she loved Cassie too. The boys loved her too. Karlee on the other hand....well let's just say that it was mutual love and hate relationship. Karlee is the one that for the last 3 years has "tried to kill" her with chocolate, not on purpose but this dog loved chocolate and could smell it a mile a way. Chocolate makes dogs very bug eyed, sick and crazy, but Cassie survived each time.
My relationship with her well.....I have to admit as silly and stupid as it sounds I guess you could say that I was jealous of her. Yes jealous of a dog! Crazy uh? Well it just seemed that my husband loved that dog more than me and showed it love more than me too. She could be quite comforting at times. She knew when I was upset and would come get in my lap. If "daddy" wasn't around I was second best then she's tolerate the kids. She was always under my feet in the kitchen and I would step on her many times. She'd get into trash cans around the house too. But she did have a small part of heart too.
Cassie was a good dog to my husband. She brought many happy memories to him, comforting him, and soothing him when stressed and entertained him too. She will be missed. I'm not sure how that empty hole in his heart will be filled.
She had been dying of cancer for a while now, and slowly was getting worse. Micah came home last night from being out of town and knew then that today would be the day that he would have to say his final good bye to his sweet "angel" (It use to drive me crazy when he would call her an angel) So we all loaded up as a family this afternoon and headed to the clinic to put her to rest. By the time we all left everyone was in tears....even me :)
