Sassy was my dog, and my friend. She was an 11 year old Rottwieler that was just as much human as she was a dog. My wife and I got sassy only a couple months after we moved in together. It may sound strange,but in a big way it felt like she was our first child. She was the first step for us in making a family. She was such a wonderful animal unlike any other. She was so full of love for everyone in our house hold, and it will never be the same with her gone. She had this unforgettable cross eyed look on her face when she was exited, and that look meant that she was happy to see you. She loved us so much that it was like she couldn't get close enough to us. I am so hurt that she is gone, but I have to thank God for blessing me with such an amazing gift. She will never be fogotten, and will be loved for eternity. My mother recently lost her rottwieler as well, and when it happened she asked me if I thought she would see him in heaven. My answer to her was "could you be happy in heaven without him?" She said that she didn't believe that she could, and I told "then, there is your answer". I know that when an animal is loved this much, there is no way God would take them from you forever. So that being said, I can't say goodbye to my sassy. I say until we're together again. My pet, My friend, My companion.
