My beautiful boy at the airport today to see my mom off…. He walked through out the airport, got lots of pets, and recognized from being on the news when his accident 1st happened. Even a HUGE Boise police officer could not resist petting him. Jasper is one happy and spoiled puppy dog!!! He was not to fond of the elevator and the escalator was a big NO!
I hate that I can’t update more but there is not much to say Jasper is doing so well. He is very happy and not slowing down anytime soon. His biggest complaint since the accident is he tires out a little bit quicker and that is it. He usually always has a ball in his mouth waiting for some one to play with him, he loves playing with his little brother Rosco (Border Collie), chasing the cats only to catch them and grab their tails and drag them across the wood floor. The older cat seems to enjoy this weird play, but the kitten is unsure of what is going on. He is still on his special diet from his vet and now weighs a perfect 60 pounds so since his accident in Feb. Jas has lost over 20 pounds. 🙂 But again his weight is probably what saved him when he got hit by that car.
With all the foster kids in and out of our home Jasper is loving all the attention of the kids, and he is great therapy for kids that come to us “broken”, kiddo’s that feel like they have no reason to smile, trust or love again. Jasper knocks those walls down and shows them that even though you are broken you cant give up on life. It is so awesome to see the kids hug on him and slowly they start to trust, smile and love again.
Well around here, we love “no news is good news”! But seriously Jasper has sooo much to teach us, so whenever you get the urge, do share your adventures with the foster kids. Talk about a real gift to them! Jasper rocks!
