LETTERS ETC. FROM LOVING OWNERS

Hi, my name is Michelle.  I am 19 years old. I live in North Bay, Ontario.  I have had a  Bichon Frise for 16 years now.  He is in good health but had some medical problems.  My family and I are very grateful to still have my dog today at his age.  His name is Casey.  I got him when I was 3 years old.  He was born on December 28th.  This dog amazes me so much because he runs around.  He can still walk up stairs by himself.  He is deaf and a bit blind.  He is my own dog.  Whenever I am away from home he cries for me until I come home.  My Mother said that it just breaks her heart to see him like that.  Whenever I come back home again he is happy as can be.  I wish for him that he dies in his sleep.  That way he knows that I am right beside him in my bed.  And that he knows that I love him very much.  He has his own bed beside my bed.  He will not sleep unless I am there with him.  I am writing to you just to tell you a little about the amazing things my dog can do at this age.  He is 16 years old and the Vet said that he is doing well for his age.
