Waiting Patiently to Bring Sassy Home

October 31, 2015 By: Patricia

My brother’s little black Scottish terrier is a bit of a character. She became accustomed to watching television with my brother during his last years enduring end stage COPD. When my oldest son visited them at the end of September, he took this photo.

While I’m recovering from knee surgery, Sassy is staying with a young couple over in Illinois who were so kind to agree to be her foster mom and dad until I’m able to bring her to Colorado for her new forever home. Sassy is doing well so far, especially now that she’s able to run and play on a farm and has other dogs and active adults for company. But it appears she has not given up her television habit. Sassy’s foster mom took this photo and sent it to me last week.

I think she’s most interested in animal shows, so once she joins us here, I guess we’ll be watching a little more of Animal Planet.

And no, we still haven’t told Katie Cat that Sassy is coming. We’re not sure what’s going to happen….

    I love this pup. I bet Katie will too, after a while, a long, long while. I can’t wait for the stories.

      She’s a sweet dog, Julie. It’s hard to make myself wait.

    Hope your recovery is going well. We had a dog once that liked to watch The Weather Channel. Can’t wait to hear how your cat reacts.

      Let’s just hope it’s not a violent reaction. My husband will come down solidly on Katie’s side.

    I’m so glad you were able to find her a good foster home until you could bring her to Colorado. I’d love to see pictures of her when you get her home with you!

      I suspect Sassy will get equal time with Katie Cat on this blog. I’m looking forward to a lot of interesting and fun antics at our house.

    That’s hysterical! I’m looking forward to meeting Sassy and good luck breaking the news to Katie Cat.

      I know — I can’t wait until the doc says I can hit the road!

    At least you know how to keep Sassy occupied. Hope Katie adjusts. Actually, she’ll probably rule the roost.

      I suspect you’re right, Alex. Once she crawls out from under the bed….

    Oh, Pat, Sassy is so lucky she will be making her home with you! I know you’ll give her a wonderful, rich life. It’ll be really interesting to see how Katie Cat deals with it, but I’m sure she’ll end up being just fine. Can’t wait to hear the news that Sassy’s settling in with you.

      I’m eager, Margot. I’m hoping I can get her in late November or early December. It all depends on when I’m cleared to take a road trip. I’m afraid of having her shipped out here like plane cargo, so it will just have to be by car.
