I didn't save my best friend from a rescue site. But the place that got him from in Delaware was shut down as a puppy mill a few years later. I had injured my back working as an electrician in 1995 and from the constant chronic back pain and depression I was kinda suicidal. That was when I decided I wanted a Siberian Husky puppy. I got Casey Jones when he was only 8 weeks old. He was infested with fleas and had all kinds of other problems the way the vet told me. Well Casey has saved my life many times since then. He gives me unconditional love and I give it right back to him. You wouldn't believe that Casey is 13 years old by the way he still jumps around like a puppy and the way he likes to play with his toys. I even wrote a song about him called "Siberian Blues" It's all about if Casey could talk to us, what he would say! He loves to play crazy dog time. That's when I go to lay down in bed and he comes right aside of the mattress and I throw all the covers up over his head and he moves his head back and forth trying to get out from under them. Even if I'm sleeping sometimes he'll come right aside of the mattress and he'll nudge me so we can play crazy dog time....lol! And to this day Casey Jones still helps me get through my pain and depression. He's had cataracts in both eyes since he was 1 year old, but that NEVER stopped him from doing anything he wanted! I couldn't be prouder. He's my Casey Jones, my pride and joy, my buddy!
