Sassy

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.
