HELLO from Jasper

Post by jaspers mum »

I would like to introduce myself as Jasper's mum.
Having been heartbroken at the sudden loss of Scooby our 8yrs old Golden Retriever we were keen to offer a home to another goldie. I'd tried a couple of internet sites, left telephone messages to no avail. However that all changed once I spoke to Jan, within a couple of days she phoned me about Jasper, we arranged a visit, it was love at first sight, and now we can't imagine life without him. Initially he was a little stressed, and over friendly with our cat but had perfect manners, never begging for food, sleeping on his own bed (not even attempting to sneak on the furniture). My how things can change in a couple of months, he now manages to open the bedroom door and sneak on the bed without even waking me :lol: He is a dream and we are thrilled to bits with him. THANK YOU JAN.
ps if someone can tell me how to, i'll include some pictures in my next post.

Loely to hear from you Jaspers mum and welcome to the site.

Sounds like you have a right beauty with Jasper and he's made himself at home with you. I hope he has helped you to come to terms with your loss.

Here is a link to help you put pictures on the site.

Love the pictures of Jasper, he looks happy and contented in his new home.

The lighter coloured ones remind me of Ella.

Jasper is lovely, similar in colour to my Ginnie (sinful Ginfull as we affectionately call her)
Funny isn't it all the ground rules we set for them :lol: :lol: :lol:
Can't remember when my husband or I last sat on the sofa.

Jasper looks really well. What a little sweetheart hugging his toys to go to sleep. Thank you for giving him a new life.

Hello,
Well its our first anniversary :1999: one year since Jasper chose to adopt us, and although its tinged with sadness because that makes it just over a year since Scooby died, we've had a wonderful year.
He is just the most beautiful goldie (I know i'm biased), gentle if a little mad at times.
I'd just like to thank Jan for the wonderful work she does, because without her we wouldn't have our lovely boy.
Thank you x
I'll try and post some updated photo's soon.
