Sassy by Lydia Serrentino / Sleep Tight Pooh Bear!

Mom and Pat

Hi My Sassy:

Pat and I wake up every morning since you left us just a few weeks ago, wishing you would appear. We relive the last few days, after all those difficult months of thinking you were a diabetic, it was so much more.. I cannot help thinking that this tumor you had in your brain changed my life. I too was hurting in my head. Somehow I think you knew. That last ride in the car made you so sick. Pat always loved to bring you in the car that was so your favorite place to be.

We miss you so much; you helped us through such difficult times in our lives. Everyone asks about you. We say you are in a better place, sitting on the front yard or walking to the lake or chasing the cats around the house.. Tears come so easily. Your picture is everywhere and I hold your ashes in a sacred place. You were our constant in life. No matter how you felt. The end came too quickly and so violently. We didn’t know Sass; we tried desperately to save you. You kept your head up, never slept and barked when
we had to carry you outside.

Pat admired you for being so strong and so proud to have such a beautiful, smart well- behaved puppy. Thank-you for sharing your life. We hope we never caused you any pain.

Many changes have happened in such a short time. I bought a new car. You would of loved to ride in it. I am changing jobs, I’m not sure if it’s for the better, but I know my life needs to change. Guess What! Today, all of us Pat, myself and Nicky went to Yazoo. You remember the dog pet shop and we saw a greyhound who had been rescued from the S.P.C.A. 8 mths old, Called May – as she was rescued in this month. She is looking for a home. I know it’s so soon after. We still mourn your loss. We will always have that ache in our hearts. Let us Know… My sweet Pooh Bear –

 

Just a Short Time but what a time it Was,
Sassy
