There are two posts for today. Check out the next one also.

I am getting more tired each day, and it's getting harder to breathe. I don't sleep upstairs anymore. I do go in the basement to be with dad, but going back up the steps is really hard. I go a couple steps and then rest. It's really tiring until I reach the top. Dad is going to have to start carrying me up the steps from now on. I'm still eating, but things aren't moving out of my system like they should be.

On Tuesday afternoon, we went to see Dr. Donna. She said she didn't like the smell of my breath. That told her that things were not flowing through my intestines as they should. She did some work to try to open it, and it would open a bit more, but she couldn't get it to stay open. She said it will cause toxins to start backing up into my organs. We weren’t scheduled to see Dr. Cummings, but he had someone tell mom and dad that he didn't think it would be long until I pass on based on the symptoms told to him. I feel at ease with this now because mom and dad have started looking for a puppy.

Today we went to another breeder. It was Golden Acres, and the breeder is Sandy Lutcza. It was in Dingmans Ferry which is 1 1/2 hours north of where we live. It was cool again, but it was raining most of the trip. We saw mountains again, but they weren't as big as the ones we saw on Saturday. I didn't get out of the car at this place. Mom and dad went inside to see these puppies. They said there were 10 of them. They brought one out to the car for me to see. It was a female. I didn't show much interest, so mom and dad are trying to figure out what I thought. I tried to tell them I didn't want to scare her. Check out the pictures of the mom, Shiver, the dad, Nash, the puppies and mom smelling puppy breath for the first time. She didn't know me as a puppy so she never smelled puppy breath. After we left, mom and dad were trying to find a place where we wouldn't get wet to stop to feed me. We went to a car wash. That was fun! They used my ramp as a table for me to eat. Then dad had to take me to go potty. It was raining, and dad didn't bring a jacket so he put holes in a trash bag to make a poncho. He looked funny. We were supposed to stop at Rodale on the way back, but it was raining so we didn't. I think we're going there Thursday morning.

Since I don't know how long I'll feel like staying yet, I want to thank everyone who cares about me and has been praying for me. I've enjoyed meeting everyone. It lifted my spirits to see everyone, and it gave me more reason to stay as long as I possibly could. Thank you to my special friends at Rodale who wanted to see me at least once every week. I loved those visits and looked forward to them just like you did. I also want to thank Joey, Shelly, Shelby, Amanda, Donna and Grammy who all stayed with me at times when mom and dad had to go away. I was glad you stayed with me so I wasn't alone.

Life is short.
Cherish it.
Do what you want.
Treasure what you have.
And love who you want.

Love,
Casey
