Today is the anniversary of Casey’s birthday. He was born in 1978 and he was Wen and her husband’s Scottie puppy that they brought home after their first Scottie puppy died of congenital heart failure when he was only six months old.
Wen was heartbroken after losing her first puppy and after grieving for several months, they decided that the only thing that would heal her heart was a new puppy, so the search began and a little black Scottie boy was found.
Casey was Wen’s first favorite dog for decades, even though she ended up having lots of dogs. He was very special to her, maybe because he was her first dog who lived his whole life and that’s why we celebrate his birthday today. Here’s to you, Casey MacDuff (also known as Casey Mackerdooger Boy)! You really started our MacDuff clan and because of you and Wen’s love for you, nine more of us Scotties have followed in your footsteps!
