About Sassy

Meet Sassy — Wonderdog, Household Supervisor, and Chief Observer of Human Nonsense.

Sassy came into our lives with two important qualities: a very expressive face and a firm belief that humans exist primarily to provide treats, comfortable seating, belly rubs, and regular outdoor access to carefully selected bathroom locations.

She currently serves as the Chief Household Supervisor here. Her responsibilities include:

  • Monitoring all snack distribution
  • Supervising retirement activities
  • Inspecting the deck for suspicious squirrels
  • Evaluating kayaking decisions
  • Keeping a close eye on whether I am using the correct tone of voice when speaking to her
  • Letting the family know when someone has arrived, or driven by – boat or car does not matter

Sassy has recently found herself dealing with a major life disruption: both of her humans retired and are closing the “city” house and moving everything to the lake without even considering how that would affect her.

Since then, she has been carefully documenting our questionable decisions.

You’ll often find her reporting on things like:

  • Daddy suddenly being home all the time
  • The disappearance of several very important backyard locations
  • Boxes everywhere
  • Why humans insist on doing unnecessary things like going to the gym

Despite her strong opinions, Sassy is loyal, observant, and always willing to forgive us — especially if treats are involved.

Sassy is a very good girl.

Around here she is known as: Sassy The Wonderdog. Chief Supervisor. Professional Treat Inspector
