7/19/06: Say Hello to the very beautiful Casey! He is such a gem, I cannot even explain! Linda was kind enough to bring Casey down from 'up nort' as Casey was previously with another rescue group; however, due to medical reasons in the foster family, Casey was surrendered to RAGOM. Casey had the pleasure of sharing the company of Red 05-182, Sky, Molly, and Charlie Bear for 2 days before we picked him last night. He met Nala and Sue with very little fuss and he and Nala had fun running around Linda's backyard.

A few things we know about him so far is he is so incredibly sweet, he rides really well in the car, he is polite and calm, even though he doesn't know a lot of commands. I am hoping my crew takes some lessons from this young gentleman. He also met Simba 06-223 aka the Wild Man (or as we like to call him, Mr. Frisky Pants) and they got along famously--although Casey had to give him some 'what for' as Mr. Simba, as his nickname suggests, can be a wild child.

Last night he slept through the night, uncrated, and today I left him babygated in the kitchen with some toys and plenty of appropriate chew items, with strict instructions for Nala and Sue to watch over their new foster brother. Today it is very stormy and I do not know how he is with storms, so I am hoping he is okay. I will run home at lunch and check on him.

I will be bringing him to the vet to get updated shots as he has been neutered already. I also am going to make an appointment at the spa to get him a wonderful bath and brushing so he smells as good as he looks! He doesn't smell bad, he just needs some pampering.

This wonderful boy is a dream. He will be available for adoption after his vet appointment, so if you want to meet Mr. Casey, please contact Placement. More to come as we get to know him better.

With Sky, looking out the window.
