Sassy

[bckrazy]

I'm so sorry, Alyssa. =,(

RIP Sassy

[Alysser]

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. 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!

Today we got Sassy's ashes. I thought maybe, just maybe, a part of the emptiness would go away, but I was wrong. The box was nice enough. It was a wooden with flowers carved on it and a little golden plate that read "sassy", which we will keep instead of the Urn idea I had since we couldn't get exactly what we wanted. Her ashes came in a little velvet bag. Okay, so TECHNICALLY, I have my dog back. But it's obviously not the same:

-never again will I pet her white fluffly fur.
-never again will I save Mr. Bear from a mauling.
-never again will I feed her and make her do stupid tricks for goodies.
-never again will I do anything with her.

I miss her so much..it will never be the same, will it? It's also been a week since she died. Not to mention, the emptiness is still there, as whole as ever.

Mikey tried to get Mr. Bear today, I know it's a dog toy, but I felt he couldn't have it. I felt if I gave it to him you would think he has replaced you. The truth is, he didn't and he never will. You both are so different, you both had flaws and great things about you and he can never be you, Sassy Your death still pulls at my heart, even more then a year later. Mikey was from a breeder, and I saw his papers today. I found that his date of purchase was December 26th, 2007. That was your 9th birthday. Maybe he was meant to find us. I love this dog, but I will ALWAYS love you too my wuppy face. I almost called him Sassy yesterday too.

I love you and still miss you, thanks so much for sending Mikey to us. We appreciate it sweetheart.

Oh, I loved seeing those pictures of sweet little Sassy!
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. :]

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}}}
