Bongo Fury Rattery
Bongo Fury Casey Glass
It breaks my heart to write another obituary - we only just lost
her lovely dad - and now we've lost Casey too. She's one of our
very few LoGrats - and the most gorgeous Russian Topaz doe. I
never did get the chance to show her either . Casey was just so
gorgeous, when we knew what she was I was determined to keep her
as I'd always wanted a Russian Topaz. Casey was a sweet, quiet
little doe - very like her mum Fozzy. She never got in the way,
never fussed for attention, just waited patiently for a cuddle.
Casey'd been ill with heart trouble for quite some time (like most of her litter) - and I have to say I was pretty sure I knew this was coming, I just hoped I was wrong - as she really wasn't old enough - but at least she went peacefully, curled up and in her sleep. I'm just so sick of losing pets now... this has been a very very tough winter.
Casey was admired by all who met her - I used to have non ratty people specifically requesting cuddles from her, because she was so pretty. People loved her velvet coat, and her stunning bluey orange colour - she was so beautiful. I knew her better than that though - I knew just what a special rat she was inside... she was the rat we'd put sick rats with for company, because she never, ever fought. She was always gentle with other rats, and always easy to introduce. She and her mum have been very close for the last number of months because they've both had the same health problems, and have lived together for treatment and special food - so I think Fozzy will take it especially hard.
Run free lovely Casey... not suffering any more... :*(

If it's drink you want and plenty of feeding
And you like the bed as well
Grab the wife, throw the kids in the Datsun
Make for Inch and the Strand hotel
If talk of turf drives you crazy
And you can't face a bale of hay
Make for Foley's work the topshelf talk puck, pints and the GAA
CHORUS
Casey, Casey you're the devil
When you get behind the wheel
It was a sad day for the Kerry sheepdogs
When your Firestones they did feel
Oh the low road goes from Killorglin all the way down to Annascaul
When Casey came to guide us he never used his brakes at all
A trail of sheepdogs littered Kerry from Killorglin to Macroom
He might have been all soul's salvation but he also was the sheep dog's doom
From the holy dioceses of Galway Eamonn went to London town
Where the traffic cops out on their duty they overtook and flagged him down
As he was tearing after luncheon around the city like a loon
Regardless to his rank and station they forced him to blow up their auld balloon
Geographically he was in limbo faced with justice true and true
No obligations were accepted he was rightly up the flue
No bolt of lightning from the heaven could remove the boys in blue
Well he wished the force that had worked at Cana would turn his wine into water too
CHORUS
When Ronnie Reagan came to Ireland all the wankers made a great furore
But Eamonn remembered bishop Romero said he'd even up the score
Casey Casey said "God willin' I'll meet Reagan on the road
Niall O'Brien will hear his confessions when I've taught him the Green Cross Code"
Casey Casey you're the right man to teach them Yankees right from wrong
If it wasn't for yourself and Reagan there wouldn't be much to Martin Egan's song
CHORUS
