It’s Casey’s Birthday!

A mini celebration, a mini cake.  

Cake is mini but the happiness with friends and family is huge.

 

Three Generations of Angora Lovers

Casey with son Cole and granddaughter Isaura.

Isaura comes with Casey early in the morning, her daddy Cole comes to visit during the lunch break.  

Isaura grooms her English Angora.  This was the same scene when Cole was her age.  Cole started attending shows with Casey when he was 5 years old, Isaura is now 10.

Isaura knows how to use the blower too, she is a great helper at home as well as in the show.

Betty has known Cole since he was 5 years old, hard to comprehend how time flies, now his daughter is 10 years old.
