Our Dog Casper - Photos - Samoyed
Well, eventually I'd like to do a tribute to our dog, Casper, that died Saturday morning at 9:40 AM, including a lot of details about his life, yet for now I think I'm just going to post some photos, so that you all can know what he looks like. So here they are.

it has always amazed me about the relationship that exists between an animal and man. we can treat them in a manner that no person would accept being treated and yet they will still be nothing but loving.
they can play mischief then look up at you with eyes so innocent that you can do nothing but laugh. and yes you can be angry with them but that anger is but an instant and no more.
they seek nothing but yearn for some attention at times. and they will patiently wait until they get it or they will bug you to death until you do.
a friend? they are like no other. they will be at your side regardless, both during the good times and bad. they will suffer as you suffer but never leave your side.
a protector? they will give up their very life for you and think nothing about it.
times you will look at them and think he is nothing but a useless mutt then at other times know just how much he means to you and has added value to your life for they have become an irreplaceable part of what you be.
but best of all that they give is good memories once gone. they never leave a bad memory of what they were to you. but just as important is what they have done for you as a person and individual. they have served to enhance all that you be as nothing else can. you know you are a better person from what you had.
so, mourn not his passing but rejoice in his life as he devoted it to you and family for that is what memories were meant to do.
Thanks Griper,
This one was very special and will be hard to replace.
Casper was a beautiful dog. I looked for wolf traits, but his physical attributes, other than alert ears, don't indicate the
wildside heritage you mentioned.
His eyes look darker and more warmly intelligent than the yellow
wary gaze of the wolf; and his coat
surely looks Samoyed. Whatever breed the parents, grandparents and great grandparents, Casper has the look of a great pet and friend.
Thanks BB,
We thought he was beautiful too. Casper's basically a mix. His nose is longer than that of a Samoyed and he is smaller than both Samoyeds and Wolves. He only weighted 37 pounds.
I think that my one girlfriend had him pegged as a wolf because of his very timid, yet gentle nature. Domesticated wolves are usually not thorough breeds and most of the Alaskan breeds have some wolf in them.
Casper is a beautiful dog Lista and I say “is” because I believe he still “is” and that you will see him in Heaven. All of creation is yearning for Hs coming.
Thanks Rosemary,
And I really do hope you are right because I would love to see Casper again in Heaven.
My sympathy, Lista. I know how it feels. We lost our oldest dog, Angel, on Father's Day. Hubby and I dug a grave and buried her beside her daughter "Candy" who we lost about three years ago. It's always very hard to lose a beloved pet but over time the memories do help. I wish it didn't take so much time!
Thanks again for your condolences and I guess I should say the same to you. I keep thinking that the mourning process wouldn't be taking quite so long if they could just get these fires under control in Northern California.
A lot of our stuff has been stored in the car in case of an evacuation and this just goes on and on for days, perhaps even weeks. I praise God that, so far, they have been able to keep the fire from coming our way, yet I'm so tired of the smoke. I'm tired of wondering and stressing and I even miss some of the family pictures that have been removed from our wall.
If they would just get these fires under control, we would be able to move on with our lives in relation to both the fire and the lose of our dog.
