Decade of Caspian

Caspian Dumbledore turned 10 today. We walked to the beach and took turns throwing sticks or coconuts for him to retrieve. He went shopping to pick out new toys at Petco and played with the chocolate lab next door, Oppa. Caspi also had a chance to go see the Royal Hawaiian Band at the Waialua Bandstand. He was exhausted by the end of the day.

Caspian is a well traveled dog. He was born in Virginia and then lived in Massachusetts with me right on a river by the sea. He traveled all over New England. We then moved to Nassau County on Long Island and became a city dog, back to Coram, New York. From there Caspian drove cross country and took a 4 day ferry ride to Alaska. He traveled all over Alaska, hiked on glaciers, swan in rivers, ponds and went to Denali. At 7 he underwent back surgery because he was unable to walk due to fatty tissue in his spinal column. Then he went on another cross country trip through Canada to Delaware, NY and back to Missouri. He lived in Missouri and swam in the springs. He took his first plane ride to Hawaii, where he now resides in retirement. He still loves rides in the car, swimming in the ocean and hiking.

I included a clip from the Royal Hawaiian band, which was formed by King Kamehameha V, singing the Hawaiian state anthem.
