Last night I had to make a decision that is never easy. I had to have our beloved English Springer Spaniel put down. She had diabetes which came on fast and basically destroyed her in a matter of a few months.
It is strange the things you miss when a pet dies. Andrew and I have spent the time since we got home from the vet yesterday evening basically crying over every thing she did that was annoying that we used to complain about.
At dinner time, Andrew cried because she wasn’t there to stare at him and try to steal his food.
This morning, I cried because the mess she usually makes in the bathroom wasn’t there to clean up.
During the day she used to follow me everywhere I went. Every time I tried to turn around, there she was for me to trip over.
I can’t believe how much I’m going to miss all that. It’s a small comfort to know she’s in Heaven now with my Dad. He loved that dog and she loved him. So it’s cool that they are reunited. And to have the hope and knowledge that it’s not the end. Just a new beginning.
So we say good-bye to you dear Sassy. Thank you for your never ending love. We will miss you.
Sassy
I never truly understood how people could become so attached to a pet…until I got this annoying little furball of a kitty a couple months ago. Now I know because after only a few months no matter how annoying he is I’m totally in love with the thing!
I’m so sorry to hear that you and Andrew are going through this. I can’t imagine what it must be like to have to make a decision to put an animal down. Certainly can’t be an easy one to make.

So sorry to hear your sad news, try not to dwell on the sadness, but think of all the good times you had with her over the last seven years.
Sending hugs & purrs

I am so sorry to hear about Sassy. I know how much our animals become like our children. I am sure your Dad and Sassy are together now having great fun together. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. It’s weird not having her around anymore, but we are doing well. :)
