I just got done watching your video of Sassy - wow - what a great testimonial to her and your mutual love for each other. She certainly was a special little puppy! I can't even find words to express the feelings I had watching that video of her. I guess it brings out what sweetness and cuteness she had in her. And you were a very special mom to her teaching her the tricks and taking so many wonderful pictures of her.

As to why people aren't responding - and I was planning on responding even before I read your post - I think this time of year is hard for everyone to keep up on Pet Talk. I know I am outside far more that I was in the winter and therefore am not on the computer much in the evenings. I am more of an outside person - I love my flower gardens and pond and would rather be out there than anywhere else. I have also noticed that some of the more "regulars" are not posting as much period - maybe for the same reason I am not or because of other situations. I know it is hard not to be hurt by the lack of responses because she was your very special girl. I also think that sometimes people don't know what to say or have time to read the post but not respond. I am not really supposed to be on here at work but I sneak every now and then. Actually my boss is out of the office today and has been some this week, so I have been able to respond more. If you look at how many people have viewed your post you should feel better. Over 400 people have read it!

I am very sorry for your loss and for your disappointment in the lack of responses to your thread.
