Caeli took my heart the first time I saw her at the Sanctuary.  I asked Carole who she was, she just caught my eye. When she came to live with us she took Gayle's heart also. She was the most beautiful "warthog" anyone could ask for. She had an infectious smile, with that little belly that drug the ground. In her last year she became known as "snap dragon", for she had our big Collie terrified. He is still waiting for her to jump out from behind the furniture and snap at him. Last year Caeli got to live on the farm with us, the highlight of her life. She would run out the door and head straight for the barn where she would get her fill in the stalls. She would wonder off so far we would have to take the wagon and get her. Another highlight for Caeli was to go for a ride. We would take the top off of the Jeep and set her in the back seat between the kids and head out on Sunday afternoon. She was just beaming. I will say she loved the farm almost as much as she loved June bugs. She also knew tricks. She could speak, and roll over and play dead if you went bang bang. Caeli was such a wonderful little dog and I will miss her. She passed while here in her home where she was loved. We'll miss her but as it was meant for her to get to me, it was meant for her to go on where her heart is strong again. We told her as we tell them all, "Look for Tucker, he will walk with you as he walks with all Animal Angels". And I suspect she is across that bridge dealing Jossie Mae pure misery again.  Jossie got to live her last years here and she and Caeli hated each other. Well, we are just waiting on the next one to be sent our way. There will be many more to come, and our door is always open.
Always, Kim
