Sweet Kasey Moe

We had to say goodbye to our sweet Kasey Moe tonight. Long story short, she was suffering too much after her surgery and because of some issue with her liver that was making her more and more sick. It is never easy to lose a beloved pet and we are all very sad. But she was a blessing to our lives. She had been around essentially since the beginning of our marriage, through both children, all the places we've lived in KC and much more. She was a steady presence and a comfort for us whenever we needed her. Sometimes, if we were standing around having a conversation, she would stand with us and look as if she knew exactly what we were talking about. Even in her older years, Kasey was so playful. She had this look she'd get on her face when it was about to be "Crazy Kasey Time!" Then she would start digging in the dirt and she'd take off running, daring anyone to catch her. The girl had some moves, especially when she was young. There may have been faster dogs, but no one had moves like Kasey. At the dog park she would steal buckets and water bottles. She'd accompany me on long runs and rollerblading expeditions, even a 15-mile hike with my friend Jaime! A vet once remarked about Kasey's six pack, she was in such great shape. Her name could be inserted into any song and it fit perfectly... I could say a million things about her but I'll wish her well on her soul's next adventure. I'm sure her doggie heaven is full of peanut butter, cheese, raw bones, and baby pools to take a dip in. She is forever immortalized in her entries on this blog, especially after Christopher was born. We love you, Kasey Moe, forever!
