Sweet Sassy has passed to Rainbow Bridge.
Her arthritis had got too bad in her hips and had moved into her spine. She was unable to get up by herself, and the level of pain had come to a point where quality of life needed to be addressed.
If there was one song that enveloped her personality, it would be "Independent Women" by Destiny's Child. She completely embodied the meaning of a bad ass woman with a kick ass independent attitude. Which has made it hard to see her decline the last 6 months.
She spent most of her days lying down, eating the pasture around her, or hanging out with Gandalf - 22. Both spent a lot of time self-nurturing their body parts that were breaking down.
I bet she's still smiling her beautiful smile, pain-free and running with sister Darcy again.
I'm going to miss you so big, Sassy pants!
Rest in peace, sweet girl. 🐐
