Catie and Corey were my beagles. I had Catie 8 years and Corie 11 years. They were inseparable. They slept together, ate together and even went to the veterinarian together. They were never out of each other's sight. I had Corie two years before I got Catie. I rescued him from the SPCA. Even when he was young, he walked around with a frown on his face like he was deep in thought. Catie was just the opposite. She would run up and bite Corie on the tail and then take off. She was 6 weeks old when I got her.
When Catie died, Corey walked around the house for days looking for her. Nothing I did would make him feel better. I knew then that Corie would not be the same. He suddenly turned white in the face and didn't want to play anymore. On July 20,2001 I had Corie put to sleep. I believe he died from a broken heart. I put his ashes with Catie's so that they would be together again. I have requested that when I die, that their ashes be buried with me so that we will always be together. I love you Corie and Catie and I miss you very much.
