One Week with Sassy!


Miss. Sassy has been with us for almost one week now. We have managed to come up with many nicknames for her some our favourites being....Sassy-Monster.....Sassimo.....Silly-Sassy.....Sassinator.... and Sassirole (to name a few!).

She continues to love romping in the backyard with our Roxy. Sometimes she gets so excited to run outside that she basically throws herself off of our deck (instead of taking the 3 stairs down!) so her little body can get a good head start on the race to the back fence :) A short video clip below:


It hasn't taken Sassy long to find the treasures in the "toy box" we have upstairs and down. Her favourites are by far the nylabone chews! She happily surrenders any toys or bones to me whenever I reach for them. A short video clip below:


 Sassy continues to be a very good girl with no accidents!!!! She has also been very respectful in the house, being very careful to use her toys for chewing (and not our shoes or furniture, which we certainly appreciate!). She stays quietly in her crate when we go out, however she does bark when she hears us come back. Sassy is learning very quickly that in order to come out of her crate, she must sit quietly inside first (smart girl!). She also sleeps soundly in her crate at night (which is in our bedroom) with no incidents to report at all. I have really found this little girl to be a very low maintence dog - she likes to play, and she likes her walks, but she sure enjoys sleeping the day away in any sunny patch on the floor that she can find.

Her leash manners are coming along nicely, however she gets nervous when new people and new dogs approach/come towards her. We continue to work on this daily since we know that practice makes perfect!



This little cuddle-bug has just had such a rough start to life....having at least 4 different homes in her short 12 months! Please consider making this precious furball a loved member of your family!
