Some Amazing Abilities

The wonderful dog I described in yesterday's post had some unusual talents. Soon after we collected Casey, our state's heavyweight college football program, the Tennessee Volunteers, started their run toward their last national championship. We would sing Rocky Top at home with the fans in the stands and Casey would "sing" right along with us. Casey was also fastidiously clean for a dog fellow, wanting to wash his "hands" in his water bowl every time he returned from a walk. (Sometimes, he would wash his back paws too). He was also a bodyguard to our family. He would stay between us and any visitor and would growl if anyone outside the family and my girlfriend made a move toward any of us. Casey was a grand dog and none of the others are quite like him.
