I know I complained about Sasha...She pretty much wouldn't leave me alone, always wanting to play with me. But I have to admit, I had gotten used to her, and was even enjoying our wrestling matches, especially since I always won. When it snowed here a few weeks ago, we had a fine time romping in the snow (although I pretended to be annoyed). Here is a link to a YouTube video of our romp: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27pCIoGKf6Y&feature=channel_page
So it was a shock last night when Mommy broke the news to me that Sasha was gone. She was barely four months old! She had been riding in the back of Daddy's pickup truck when I guess she got excited by a neighbor dog and tried to jump over the side. Her collar broke off, and Sasha landed under the rear wheels of the truck. Daddy is blaming himself, and he and Mommy are both so heartbroken. I am trying to comfort them, but I am heartbroken too. In my own kitty way, I had come to really love that dog.

Accidents such as this one are why I keep asking people not to let their dogs ride in the back of a pick-up unless it is in a carrier that's tied down.
But I'm not "yelling" at you or blaming you. I feel heartbroken for you all. It is such a tragic thing to have happen. And it was an accident.
You are in my thoughts!
A big hug,
Jan
Oh we are so sorry for your loss, we're sending hugs & purrs to all of you.
Thank you, Chesney Cats and members of Jan's Funny Farm, for your kind words, hugs and purrs. Mommy and Daddy have promised that if they get another dog for me, it will never be allowed to ride in the back of the pickup truck unless it's secured inside a carrier, so we won't have to deal with another tragedy like this. We all miss Sasha so much...
We are so sorry to hear about Sasha.
Tell your daddy not to be so hard on himself, it was an accident.
We're sendin' purrs and love to you all.
