mine is of casey, our girl-dog. best friend and partner. spent her life working cattle, then went blind a couple years ago (genetic), so now just hangs at home by the fire. still loves to go on hikes or follow along on a horseback ride. she can even sometimes catch a frisbie in flight - she listens for it as it passes overhead. casey is a poster child for overcoming disabilities. she takes everything in stride. has no self pity and enjoys every moment. we can all take a lesson from her. she knows how to happily adapt to anything.



photo of casey back in '05. her bend ear occurred after my avatar photo was taken. it was due to a run-in with a bottom strand of bob-wire, an everyday hazard for working cattle dogs...
