She was the first one of the litter to pop over the edge of the step to see what was going on. She had the ability to transport, morph and appear out of thin air due to her agile abilities and expert jumping skills. She chased balls, apples, rocks and anything that would be rolled for her and often returned small objects like a dog. Due to her calico colors of orange, black, brown and white, she was nicknamed Blendo. She could wiggle down into the grass or leaves and you couldn't see her. She was an expert at camaflouge. She was also the most vocal, howling and growling when played with as if she were injured, but as soon as you stopped she was rolling and begging for more. Her three brothers teased her and tortured her, but she held her own and she ruled the house. When she really got upset, they gave her a large berth of room and stayed away. She was awesome!
Sadly, on June 5, 2018, after several weeks of not eating, becoming more lethargic, sleeping constantly, battling a failing liver and after trying to help her with a feeding tube and medicines, we had to have her put to sleep because of her ailing health. Her last day she was able to lay on the porch in the sunshine, something she loved to do. She went to sleep peacefully and now lies resting with her brother Schnei and honorary sister Flower. Sassy will truly be missed.
