Sassy is home...

[AWonkyDonkey]

I came back just to share this story I remembered.

My very first visit to see Sassy, she took me into Seattle to see the sights. I insisted we should go up the Space Needle. I was a bit disappointed there there was nothing at the top. I'd heard there used to be a shop and a cafe up there. Anyway, we go up and Sassy tells me she hates the glass bottomed floor. She's terrified.

Anyone who knew Sassy knows that she loved taking photos. So I said it'd be a great place to take a photo. So tentatively she stepped out on to the glass floor, trying not to look down.

Anyway, I thought I'd be funny but I think I gave her a real fright. As we were about to take a photo, I said out loud, "Is that crack meant to be there?" and pointed straight down.

Well not only did Sassy move quicker than greased lightning back to the solid floor, I made this couple panic but they found it funny after a few seconds and gave me a thumbs up.

haha, yeah, I can relate to Sassy's reaction to the glass floors on bridges and buildings. Typically, I'm not afraid of heights, I can get on any kind of amusement park ride, stare over the edge of cliffs, etc., but man made glass floors up in the sky? No!

Our barn used to have a ladder type thing to get to the upper section. Some years back I built a staircase so we could actually use the area for xmass stuff and so on. She refused to go up them because you could see thru the steps,lol...

Yeah. I agreed with her. Those stairs are lethal!

I just recently came back to Lit and am devastated to learn that Sassy passed.

To me she was always kind and encouraging. She was an incredible person, the kind that this world needs more of.


Loss is a motherfucker. What I have learned is that there is no right way to grieve, and that grief takes a long time to process.

I am glad that you have her home; I am glad that I was lucky enough to know her.

Its been over 3 months and I am still chugging aloing, trying to better myself and just learning to deal with being alone, doing everything myself ect.....
But every day is a new chance to try and find happiness.....

Close your eyes...throw the dart...where it lands...that is your target. There is no timetable. You will never be the same. Just be. You are a butterfly morphing from what you were. And remember to try to find the flowers in the sidewalk...they are there...it is just we get too caught up and walk past them. Sometimes...it is about slowing down to see them. Sometimes it is about speeding up to cover more sidewalk. You are never alone. She is still there....everywhere. it is OK. It will be OK. Just keep throwing darts.

Thanks for the update.

I am not here anymore, when I was, I wasn't here for long. Suffice to say Sassy was one of those who made time here memorable for me.

I was in a rough period in my life then, Sassy was one of those who was a true friend when I didn't think I deserved one.

Thoughts and prayers for any and everyone who's life she touched, there are many for sure.

RIP.

So on Thanksgiving morning I loaded Crista and Luna up and headed south to do one last thing.
We spent our honeymoon on the Oregon coast at a place called otter rock. This place was not only where we started our life together but also where we found the love the ocean (made MANY trips over the years). So me and Luna stayed in a little "ok" motel in Depot bay and on friday we headed to Otter rock. And thats where I spread her remaining ashes--a place I will always remember and a place I can always go to where she will be..

I lived in Ona Beach...South of Newport...for almost 14 years while I got my PhD. I am very familiar with Otter Rock and Depoe Bay. The ocean sings there.

Hey man good to hear your doing ok. It must be so hard, I can't imagine it.
Great to see a pic of Luna too, I haven't seen a pic for a long time. She's close to the same age as Shebah.
I hope your still wheeling and getting out there in those beautiful places around your area.
Hang in there man you will be right, hope the family is all good. Take care.

Some days its real hard, some days its easy but the hardest times still are at night.
Luna is such a good girl and try to take her where ever I can and I can still feel how mad she would get over Luna. When she wanted to get her, told her on one condition that she spend time with her and take her to training. That lasted less than 6 months and then I started spending time with her and she immediately became my dog to the point when crista called her, I would have to bring her inside. And that bind has not changed.
Oh ya I still get out allot, its my "me" time and it also just keeps me busy.. Plus I just love getting out in the woods.
