• To Casper, the infinite oomphanite, our bear, wonder westie, floos, terraby-earl-grey-lathem-rehn, our "baby boy":
  
• There's a reason we have more photographs and movies of you than the two of us combined;
• We love you, and you have filled our lives with more humility, happiness and trust that one being ever could;
• • Thank you for the countless photo-shoots, you always were the best model, even cute when being stubborn;
  • Thank you for letting me squeeze you tightly with love for sixteen years;
  • Thank you for listening to me when I cried - about boys and the school play (in middle school), and about graduate degrees, a new career and marriage (as an adult);
  • Thank you for your dancing - each time you lifted a paw playfully in the air, you made us smile;
  • Thank you for your red paws from walks around 'Garden of the Gods' in Colorado;
  • Thank you for the countless naps spent on floors, sofas, almost everywhere;
  • Thank you for sharing a love for midnight (or any time) snacks;
  • Thank you for supervising us when we were cooking;
  • Thank you for our long, long, direction-less walks, I would follow you to the moon (even though I know you'd be going to see if it was really made of cheese);
  • Thank you for being my true "best man" at our wedding;
  • Thank you for speaking up when I said, "I do," and listening when I said, "I love you too!";
  • Thank you for all the weird sounds you're so good at making, and talking too;
  • Thank you for eating that loaf of bread, all of that rabbit food and everything you could find open while we were away;
  • Thank you for co-piloting through so many drive-thrus and car washes;
  • Thank you for your patience on the airplane to Texas - you made everyone smile on the plane;
  • Thank you for napping loyally by our sides while we worked away;
• You are and always will be our creative muse (napping muse as well);
• You own a piece of our hearts, and that will never change;
• We love you, adore you and look to you for answers;
• You are our hero, friend, my brother and my son;
• We love you, Casper, and always will.
