It’s taken me a month to write this because I start crying! In January 2004 this little lady was given to me from my husband for a Christmas gift.
Sassy was born on December 8, 2004 and she came to live with us six weeks later.
Everyone instantly fell in love with her! She was also the runt of the litter.
Due to the fact that it has taken me two weeks to get this far in the post I will just show you some of our pictures of her as she grew. It’s just too hard to put into words what a special dog/pet/family member she was!!
Sassy twelve years later!!
Oh she is beautiful .. thinking of you

Oh Rita and to think I was able to talk to her when I was there. It’s so hard losing our pets they become part of the family unit. Cry my dear friend. It is ok. She came into a warm loving home and was a very happy girl. Much love. Imagine me giving you a strong hug.

I am so sorry to hear about Sassy… it is so painful to loose a member of the family. I dread and try not to think about loosing our 3 boys… I just hug them and pet on them a little more when those worries pop up. I want as many positive memories as I can get. I pray God will help you though this trial and bring you some sort of peace about it, even though that seems so hard. I am so sorry for your loss.

I’m glad you have those memories. Our oldest puppy boy is already 8, the middle 6, and the baby kitty is 1. So I am taking lots of picture like it seems you did to keep these times with me forever. I hope the loss is getting a little easier each day, but she will always be in your heart 🙂
