Cassie, the Dog of the Day
Name: Cassie
Age: Seven years old
Gender: Female Breed: Papillon
Home: Hythe, Hampshire, UK
 
   This is Cassie, my papillon. We live in Hythe, near to Southampton in Hampshire. Cassie is very special in the sense that she reared three kittens, even producing milk. Yes, kittens! My cat died after giving birth, and Cassie cuddled them up, cleaning them and keeping them warm while I did the bottle feeding for two days and three nights. On the fourth day, my daughter realized the kittens were nursing from Cassie and we then saw she had begun producing milk. She fed them for four and a bit weeks.

    Cassie is also special as I am diabetic and reminds me to take my tablets. If I forget in the mornings, she knocks them on the floor to remind me. She is a darling. She is still very energetic, so loving and loves everyone. She had a broken leg as a puppy but it healed okay. She suffers a painful bad back, but never lets it get her down. She is truly one in a million. And she is my best friend, soul mate and more than I could ask from her or any human.
