Sassy

Sassy, you went to the Bridge yesterday. I was strong until the moment we left. I couldn't even get out of the car at first, because of that look you gave me in the car. It was filled with confusion and fear and it left me heartbroken. You had no idea. Then I went into the room, I had to leave again as they were giving you the needle. Jaclyn said she was the last thing you saw. Even Grandpa was crying...I never in my life thought I would see my dad cry. He wouldn't let you go. Anyway, I am so sorry, but I couldn't let you be in that pain anymore. The condition you were in was worse then seeing you on the vet's table.

You were and will forever be my happy face, my sas-a-fras, my sped pup, my wup-a-dup, my puppy of the world, my princess, and my dog. I will always remember the "zzzz" game, tug-a-war, the apple game, swimming with you all summer. I will ALWAYS remember the craziness of your puppyhood and early years up until the horrible disease thta claimed your life. You would jump in the pool like a human and swim for hours and then you'd shake all over the living room. You would sit on the boogie boards and floats for hours as you got older. You certainly were meant to be a fishy. I will always remember giving you belly rubs, tormenting you with photoshoots and props, giving you treats. I will always remember the times you cried in front of the oven on a holiday so you could have turkey. I will always remember when you went full speed down the hallway and crashed into the front door. I will always remember the walks around the resivior and the one time you went into the snow and you ran away. You never were allowed out in it after that. I will always remember killing Mr. Bear and making his stuffing come out. I will always remember the jealousy one christmas when we opened our presents. You always helped by eating and KILLING that paper, eh? ;) Every time we took you to Petco you peed or pooped. I remember when you pulled Peter's boxers across the floor and wouldn't let him take them. I will always remember all the chewed up video games. I always loved how Regal you looked in your $45 collar from Atlantic City. I will always remember that happy face standing there when I came home from school or wherever. I will ALWAYS remember all the goodies YOU had to have!

I will remember many many things that cannot be put into this post. There are just to many. You filled my life with a decade of happiness little wup-a-dup. I love you so much and I miss you. I still think I hear the pitter-patter on the hardwood floor. I still hear your quack bark from inside the laundry room when I come home, which told us you wanted to be let out of your cage. I still hear the jingle of your tags, which are now around my neck as a necklace. I still smell that doggy odor I am so used to. I can't remove your bowls just yet. I can't get rid of the doggy kibble. I can't believe your gone right now.:( You will be FOREVER in my heart...there will be more dogs in my life but none like you. You weren't my heart and soul dog, but you will always be the best doggy in the world.

Rest in peace, princess. I miss you and will LOVE YOU forever!!

I will put pictures up later. I cannot look at that right now.

Love,
your heartbroken mommy

{{{{hugs}}}}

Play happy, young and free at the Bridge, Sassy.

Look down on the family who misses you, and your heartbroken Mom who loves you more than anything in the whole world...who were all there for you.

Give them a little nuzzle, a little sign that you are all right - to remind them that you love them too, that you could have had no better life on earth than the one you had with them - and that you will be overjoyed to see them again, One Fine Day.

RIP Sassy :(

Alyssa, that was a beautiful memorial. I got tears in my eyes every time I read through the other thread in Dog General. This time I am full out bawling. Sassy will always be with you. Just like my childhood dog, Pepper, will always be with me.

Alyssa, I'm so sorry about Sassy. :( She is pain free now and playing at the Rainbow Bridge. That's a beautiful memorial you wrote for her. {{{hugs}}}

Rest in Peace Sweetheart:(

Alyssa, I wish I could be there with you to give you a long, gentle, hug. I'm so sorry :(:(:( Your tribute to Sassy has my keyboard soaking wet. In some way, I feel like I knew Sassy personally. I believe it's because of the love that you have/had for her. I could always feel it in your threads and posts about her. Her pictures brightened my days so many times. I will miss her terribly. She is running free and playing at the bridge right now. Smiling down on her loving Mommy. Feel happy knowing that you two will meet again, one fine day(as Gary would say).
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}

That loving tribute to Sassy has me crying too. I love that you shared the things that you remember most, and I could picture those things in my mind. More hugs being sent out for you Alyssa.

Run pain free, sweet Sassy.

Godspeed Sassy.
May you run and play like you were a puppy.
Hugs:love:

Sassy, sweet girl, white as a cloud post-bathtime you were
To much of an adventurer to stay snow-white for long, that's for sure
Your black button nose and shiny dark eyes, cutie pie
Are forever engraved on your family's heart, and on ours

Funny, silly, and spunky as your name
Sweet as sugar, too - the world is not the same
But comfort you momma, dear, send her some love
And let her know you're out of pain now, and watching from above

She feels her heart is broken now, and we understand her pain
Help her begin to heal, Sassy, so someday she will love again
We know she will, and we also know you will be
Curled up in a little white ball in her heart for eternity

I'm so sorry.

Rest in Peace sweet Sassy.

Sassy, I could see you in my mind's eye from the post written by your heartbroken mommy. You had a life filled with much love, and you will be forever missed. RIP, sweet Sassy. Gentle hugs to your family.

Rest In Peace now sweet Sassy. You will never be forgotten.

I am so sorry for your loss. I hope in time the pain is eased and you are filled with all of the happy moments that you spent with Sassy.

Oh I am SO sorry to hear this :(

RIP Sassy. You were such a sweet girl and loved by so many.

I'm so sorry

Run free at the Bridge, Sassy! There is so much to see and enjoy while you wait for that day in the future when you will be reunited with your dear Mommy.

HUGS to you, Alyssa. The memorial you wrote is lovely. You will never forget her, as I have never forgotten any of my beloved pets. You did all that could be done for your dear girl.

(((hugs)))
Alyssa, this memorial thread for your little girl has reduced me to tears. Your love for that little white ball of fluff shines through so clear and beautiful. You and your family will continue to be in my thoughts during this difficult time.

Rest Easy, Sassy. You will live on forever in all of our hearts.

Dear Sassy, play happily at the Bridge till your mommy comes for you one day.

So sorry Sassy had to leave. She'll be greatly missed.

Sweet, sweet Sassy, play hard at the bridge, my dear. You were a wonderful dog and were loved my many.

RIP, Sassy girl.:(

Sassy,
Play hard at the bridge darlin.

{{{hugs}}} to you Alyssa.

How heartbreaking it is to learn Sassy has joined the ranks of the bridge kids. :( She certainly was a beautiful little pup and always had a puppy look to her.

Rest well, sweet Sassy. So sorry for your loss, Alyssa. :love:

I'm so sorry to hear that you had to let your sweet Sassy go. :( She seemed like such a wonderful dog. (((Hugs))) to you and your family.

Thanks you for sharing your beautiful memories, Alyssa.
Sassy's no longer with you physically, but will always be in your heart and soul. I know how devastated you feel. I'm so very sorry. Bye Sassy, we'll miss you.

That was a beautiful memorial to Sassy.

Sassy, you will be missed very much. Please peek in once in a while, and check on your family. Give them kisses & licks while they're sleeping.

RIP sweet little ball of white fluff.

Alyssa, I'm so sorry to hear about Sassy.

I haven't been around much so when I seen this thread I was sure it couldn't be "our" Sassy...I'm so sad to hear it is:(

Lots of (((HUGS))) to you in your time of sorrow.

Anna

Many MANY {{{hugs}}} to you and your family.

She's at peace now and her health has been restored.

Run free Sassy, you'll be missed by many!
:(

Sorry to see this Alyssa.

Sending many (((((hugs)))))). I know just how hard it is. :(

I'm so sorry, Alyssa. =,(

RIP Sassy

Thanks, guys. I still miss her. I want her back so bad. I don't really cry anymore, today was the first day I didn't cry. Me, my mom, and my sister looked through the photo albums for her puppy, early adulthood pictures and we have plenty. My dad will scan them for us tonight and I will share a few. :love: I don't think I'll ever get over it but I will learn to live with it. I still think she's here. It's really, really weird not having a dog in the house.

Also, you probably noticed I have changed my username. Maltese_Love was just a reminder of her, and I couldn't really deal with looking at it in every post. Alysser is one of my nicknames so I just made it that.

I also wanted to say we are getting her cremated. We will probably get a nice urn with a painting of her on it and the quote "God couldn't fix her legs, so he get her wings". I am sure there are places that make these types of things.

Thanks for the support, It helps to know I will always have it here.

I just wanted to again tell you how sorry I am at your loss. Sassy was just darling and she was so very loved. :(

Some favorites of Sassy soaking up the sun in happier times and younger years..this was before arthritis came into the picture. :)

Alyssa, I am so sorry about Sassy, I have been out of town and came back to this sad news :( I know its a hard thing to do but it is the humane loving thing that we as pet owners have to decide. I hope the happy memories give you strength.

RIP pretty girl.

Alysser - what lovely pics of Sassy! Did she ALWAYS have her pink tongue hanging out of that cute smile, with the black nose topping it off?

What a happy little pupper! How wonderful that you had each other!:love::love:

Oh, I loved seeing those pictures of sweet little Sassy!http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r...ain/t_love.gif
Her happiness radiates from those photos and it truly shows just how much she loved her life with you and your family. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Her huge smile put a smile on my face this evening. :]

((((HUGS)))))
I am so sorry.
What Beautiful Pictures of your girl.She lived a very happy loved long life with you and your family.
Rest in Peace Sweet Sassy

I am so sorry to hear of Sassy's passing. I've tried to post before, but everytime I open the thread I start crying. It sounds foolish and selfish, but I'm in the same boat with my Carly. She has a limited time with me and your loss has hit me so hard. I can feel your love and loss for your Sassy.

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God speed Sassy.

Thanks, everyone. I still miss her like crazy, and I know I will always. Today is a bit better. There are constant reminders everywhere I go. I am always about to call her name and then I realize she's gone. We finally put her food bowls away, but it was hard. It's funny how she's been gone for 4 days since it seems like yesterday. I was just reminded of a silly memory of her, when she stole food out of the pantry everyday. She learned how to push it with her nose to open it. She had to be the silliest, smartest princess alive. :)

I still miss you, Sassy, but I know you are free now.:love:

I'm sorry the time came to let Sassy go, I can imagine how hard it was :(. Rest well little Sass, and know you live on in the hearts of so many. You are certainly missed, little Princess.

Alyssa, I am thinking of you today. [[[HUGS]]] -- elyse

Sassy sure looked happy in those pictures. What a pretty girl. You have so many wonderful memories of her Alyssa. Keeping you in my thoughts.{hugs}

I'm so sorry it took me so long to reply to this. I'm so very sorry about sweet Sassy. You know I loved her, she was one of my very favorite dogs here on PT. You did what was best for her.

The pictures were adorable. She will be missed so, so much. You have been in my thoughts. {{{HUGS}}}

I was going to read the whole thing, but i started crying so couldn't anymore.
