Saying goodbye to a pet is one of the hardest things to do. Saying goodbye to Calypso is really tough. She was a Christmas gift for a little boy who wasn't even 2. Probably a decision most folks would say was irresponsible. It ended up being a great decision. She slept with Blake and played with him when he didn't understand how rough he was. She played peek-a-boo with him in boxes and under blankets. She allowed him to crawl in and out of her crate and pull her ears and squeeze her neck and she never so much as raised her lip. She loved playing ball and swimming. She treated Mollee's garden like it was a self-serve buffet just got her -- tomatoes were her go-to. There wasn't a toy or rawhide that stood a chance with her. She stuck it out through 3 leg surgeries and never once lost her desire to play tug with a toy or rope.
You did good, Calypso. Thank you for loving us. We will miss you more than words seem to express.
