First off,

((((((HUGS!!!!)))))

You are being very brave and strong, Alyssa, and you most definitely have Sassy's best interests at heart. I know how much you love her, I love the girl loads and have never even met her, so the bond you two share is unbreakable! I will be thinking of her every minute of every day, hoping that this isn't time with all my heart. Hang in there, Sassy girl.

Give her lots of kisses from me and the gang.
