It's very obvious, the huge difference in facial size in a profile photo in one of the Othawa Pride Groups.  The person claiming so vehemently that they are all Sassy's, is the same person who said Harry Belly could not possibly have been younger than 15 when he died, probably 16, at one point!  I would take what he says with a grain of salt.  Just saying with no disrespect.  In addition, the last one killed looked like a littermate of the smaller girl in one picture, just with 'normal ears.'  Now, if they are all Sassy's, then two, not one of them, is smaller in size than the taller/leaner girl (the one resembling Limpy more).  Now, I'm not indicating they are from different litters 100%, but that we shouldn't assume that they aren't.  Right now, potentially, they could all be Sassy's, probably sired by different males (all 3 of her girls were sired by different males it seems, judging by the looks of the last two).  Or, two could be Sassy's and one Junior's mom (in which we have the strange case of two, the one last killed and the smaller girl, of them looking VERY alike---so indeed, it could be two from the younger litter....or just two 'runts' of Sassy's sired by Skorro.

In a past photo, the one killed looks to be near intermediate in height between the other two.... Hard to say, but Floppy Eared Girl could just be learning her head down....or there is a difference.  What is clear is that the two on the right and left look very similar with a slight color/ear shape difference.

Another reason to believe that they could all be Sassy's is that the other litter was several months younger, so they were slower, less agile and capable hunters to survive adequately at less than 1.5 when orphaned.  If this last smaller girl is Junior's mom's offspring, then she is doing amazing, lasting longer than any of her littermates.  She was orphaned at less than a year and a half!
