I've been replaced!

For as long as I can remember my mom has dreamed of having an English Bulldog.  The combination of ugly/cute, laziness, and adorable playfulness has really appealed to her for years, but as is the case for many of us, it was "never a good time".  This past year she finally finished building her dream house and, after previously living in a 1200 sq ft condo, the sprawling floor plan of her 1400 sq ft house has proved too lonesome to ramble around in all alone.  That's right, the time has finally arrived for a new companion.  After months of searching Petfinder.com and other various internet resources, she finally found the girl of her dreams...

Sassy(pants).  We're not overly fond of the name, but she previously belonged to an older lady who sadly died.  I suppose if she was going to get an old lady name, we are lucky it wasn't Princess or Cupcake.

And so, it seems I have been replaced with a new daughter.  Sassy may have my mom's heart, but she will never have opposable thumbs.
