Casey is a 15 1/2 year old Lab mix. Her momma was a lab, and her daddy was a travelin' man. She was born in a barn in eastern NC, and most of her litter mates died of liver disease fairly early on.
Doing what she does best (and most of the time!)
Here she is begging for attention (and showing her cataracts...)
Here are just a few other random pics as well:
And there's the little things that you know you'll miss when they're gone. One of the funniest things I'll miss is her opening the bathroom door. I'm convinced she thinks there is an escape hatch in there, and if we shut the door, we'll be gone. If you don't shut the door (and latch it), she'll nudge it open, and just pop her head in. She won't come in, she'll just check to make sure you're still there. She's been doing this for about 4 years, and it still makes me smile. Of course, we do know to shut it all the way if we really need privacy. Even then, you can here her nose nudging it, and can almost see the wonder on her face as to why it won't open.
I am soo, sooo, sooooo fortunate that I've had her as long as I have. And that at 15+, she's still holding her own. I'm thankful for every day I get with her....
Happy National Mutt Day!

She's a cutie , and looks great for her age!
isnt it amazing how much you love them even though they're "just a dog". Non dog people just dont get ti.
My dogs both come in the bathroom as well. I've lived alone for so long that I never had to shut the door. Now however I shut it when KO is around and they either push it open or cry wanting in. It's such a funny part of a dog owners life. I think they know they will get my undivided attention when I'm seated:):):)
