Hi Toni. Trooper and Kasey were my lifesavers after my divorce. I had been unable to have children and truly had noone. Kasey was a beautiful Shetland Sheepdog I bought as a puppy and he was silly and sweet. About 5 years later, I learned about a 3 yr old German Shepherd that had failed the state police academy because he was too docile. I had never owned a large dog so wasn’t sure I was doing the right thing, but it turned out to be the best decision I ever made. He was gentle, fiercely loyal and protective, and Kasey and him became instant buddies. These 2 saw me through some very dark days and their fur soaked up alot of tears. Kasey passed the day after Christmas in 2015 at the age of 14 and Trooper passed in 2017 at the age of 15. I’ve since adopted other dogs, but Kasey and Trooper hold a special place in my heart. Thank you for letting me share a little of my story.
