Sassy - in the beginning

I can't recall why or what prompted me to get a dog, there could have been a number of contributing reasons. I had seen the joy that Neve (Craig's Sharpei) had bought to my life in the studio, I also met a few people who had dogs and again saw the awesome relationship they had.
I had moved in to a new house, it had a little garden perfect for a puppy and most of all companionship and unconditional love.

So after much coaxing I was able to not only get an advance on my wages but I was also able to borrow the bosses car to go and pick her up.

I can't remember where I drove to, it was in the suburbs somewhere, but I had seen an ad in the Trading Post for Staffy pups, I called ahead and the guy said "I've got one left, a female, white with a black patch" I said hold her, I'll be right over.

On arrival it was a pet shop, but I had made it all this way so I went in, I remember there was a little kid taunting this tiny little puppy in it's cage, his mum said they would think about it and come back later then left.

I looked at her face and immediately knew we had just saved each others lives she mine and mine hers, I believe in fate, we were meant to be together.

So in my lap she sat, sitting up looking around all sassy like and by the time we got back to the studio, she was named and I was pleased to present my Sassy girl!
