Casey, Son Of Izzy

My chiropractor is named Dr. Nancy Burns and she is a gifted and much loved healer. Going to see her is the very antithesis of going to see a typical physician in the modern health care system. Her patients love her and hug her, she makes time for each of us and is easy to talk to and helpful. She listens. And she heals.

She could well be a role model for how modern health care ought to work, but I won’t hold my breath.

She has a dog named Casey, and I was startled to learn when I first came that he is one of the many sons of Izzy,  my first hospice dog and the dog who chased sunsets with me when I first became a photographer. Casey is a sweet soul like Izzy was he is struggling with a bad leg.

Izzy was a remarkable creature, and I meet of lot of his offspring as I move around town. He was a lover boy who often got out of his holding pen. He was a much leaner dog than Casey, but he had the same eyes.
