Our beloved KaceyYou are our world and will always be in our hearts.
I still remember when you came home for the first time, September 8 1993. Thirteen years, to the day, we were together. You were the last girl in the litter and the first pup to come to me. We later found out you had been returned just the day before. Fate was on our side.
You were a great pup and a fast learner, although you could also be a bit mischievous at times. Sneaking under the coffee table or hiding behind the couch. You always had to have two treats, one for now and one you would always hide for later. We loved to hike together, many miles under our belt. KC & Me was our trail name. How many peaks and ponds did you beat me to? How many critters did you chase? Your first swim was a classic. You saw your reflection and thought that other dog was going to get your stick, and splash, you fell in. Stunned and soaked, you still kept that stick, but I had to pull you back up onto the ledge. Then as you were getting older and started to slow down we moved and got the nice big yard for you to roam and explore at your leisure. You loved to be outside, even just watching the birds.
Then came the twins, Kona and Ellie. They loved to tease you. You always had to have the ball. Kona was without a doubt your favorite of the two, but they both miss you also.
I know the last few months were hard for you. It seemed as if once one aliment healed another one showed up. I hated to see you unable to run and play with the pups or even chase the ball. We tried to help you hold on as long as we could, but we needed you to have peace again.
I know your better now. Jumping fences again, chasing your ball, or just sniffing out a squirrel. Go, run again, with your friends Samantha and Lacey. I hope you enjoyed your stay with us as much as we loved having you. And if you see a sign that says no dogs allowed, we wont be there either.
en I would be happy you wagged your tail to smile with me,
When I would be sad you knew I was not glad.
You were always there for me protected me loved me unconditionally,
made me smile when I would cry….Soon the time came when you and I had
to say good-bye.
You had been so sick for over one year you continued to take your heart
medicine but eventually your heart just gave out..You were with me 13
years….My friend I miss you I will never forget you….
You and your best friend Akiko yes Akiko’s heart gave out on him too.
You both are buried under mother’s “grape orchard” My mom plants flowe

My Precious Kasey
Kasey mom brought you home from a far off place,
Because no one wanted to buy you my mom did and let
you out of that small living space...
You learned Sign Language so quick so you became my ears,
You let me know when our phone was ringing when the door
bell rang or when I could not hear a voice
Kasey you barked so loud so I would turn and listen,
you Kasey gave me no choice.
When I would be happy you wagged your tail to smile with me,
When I would be sad you knew I was not glad.
You were always there for me protected me loved me unconditionally,
made me smile when I would cry....Soon the time came when you and I had
to say good-bye.
You had been so sick for over one year you continued to take your heart
medicine but eventually your heart just gave out..You were with me 13
years....My friend I miss you I will never forget you....
You and your best friend Akiko yes Akiko's heart gave out on him too.
You both are buried under mother's "grape orchard" My mom plants flowers
in the Spring time beside of the ferns my Grandpa gave to mom....Kasey
and Akiko you are never forgotten your memories will live on
and on forever.
Most sadly missed by me Nicole
and my mom Becky
You had to leave one fall day.
Your heart just could not continue to beat
You were just so weak....
