Precious Little Sassy

Sassy never had a lap to call her own.
She had never see snow before either.

Molly and Sassy - They look like sisters, we call them the bookends. :)

Molly's nose was pretty bent out of shape at first, now they are snuggling together. Sassy has also gotten Molly to play again. Very sweet!

The story, as it was told to me, is that Sassy was in a puppy mill in California. The puppy mill was discovered and shut down. Sassy had 5 puppies, we don't know what happened to the puppies. She is somewhere between 2 and 3 years. We have no idea how many litters she's had. Sassy was put on a "PTS" (Put To Sleep) list. A gal that was also involved in the Kennewick American Exkimo rescue (400 whte dogs rescued) was somehow involved in smuggling Sassy from the kill shelter to California to Kennewick.

From there she was taken to Seattle along with some of the rescued American Eskimos. She called Bonnie from here in Medical Lake and asked if she knew of someone who could take a minpin mix. She was just too small to house with the larger dogs. Bonnie told her she had a friend in at River City Rescue in Post Falls who would take her in, Claudia. Claudia took her in, got her spayed, immunized and fed her properly. Sassy's hair grew back in covering the bald spots. She advertised her on Craigslist and Petfinder.

I came across Sassy's picture on CL. I don't know what it was about her but my heart was instantly touched by her sweet face. I contacted Claudia to see if anyone had shown any interest. She said there was no one. I guess most people don't want to take in a little dog with a lot of baggage.....I'm not that person. I sent the listing to Mr. B. Of course, he loves dogs as much as I do (THANKFULLY, WE ARE A PERFECT MATCH).

We met Sassy at Petco. It was love at first sight. She instantly took to Mr. B. She just loves him. We brought her home that day and knew she wasn't going anywhere. That was 2 months ago. Other than she has some potty training issues (not a surprise from a little dog that has been kenneled her entire life) she is doing really well. She loves to be loved. She snuggles in bed at night and curls up on our lap during the day.

Sassy is home. No more kennels. No more abuse. No more neglect. Just unconditional love....not just for her but from her as well.....we are blessed!

Update

So much has happened in the last few weeks. First of all I apologize for not updating the blog before now. My computer crashed and I lost nearly everything, including my pictures...which makes me sick to my stomach. However, one good thing came out of it is that "HEY DUDE, I'M GETTING A DELL". I've ordered it and still waiting upon its arrival...

I've sold several horses and am currently down to 6. I have two more for sale and then I'll be down to 4. Thats it!! :) Yippee. Midnight found the perfect home with Nita in Idaho. Cheyenne found the perfect home with Vicki also in Idaho. Harley is with the perfect family in Colville, WA. Amy is a vet tech and able to care for him properly. He is doing AWESOME!!

Mr. Bob is recovering from viral pneumonia...he was very sick. Thank goodness he is better...I was very worried.

Last but not least we have a new family member (I know, I know, I sell horses and get a new dog). Yes, we have a new dog. Her name is Sassy and she was rescued from a puppy mill in California. She is the sweetest little dog and looks like Molly's sister. Pictures to come. :)

Know I love and miss each of you.

Riding Horses on the Beach

Above Bob riding Gunner.

Pearl and me enjoying the beautiful ocean air

This ranks right up there with some of the funnest things I've ever done.

Instead of footprints in the sand it is "Hoof Prints in the Sand"! :)

October Get-A-Way

Bob and I got away for a few day s and went to the Washington Coast. We had a great time with a few laughs along the way.
Above: Bob thought it would be fun to drive on the beach...needless to say we got stuck. Thank God someone came along with a truck and pulled us free before the picture below could happen.



I guess they got to surf the night before. Yes, the car is in the sand nearly to the windows...
Below is the view from our room in Ocean Shores, WA.

We loved this little seaside town and will definately will go back and stay again. It was wonderful!!
