Now here's a boy you may not recognize unless you've been reading the blog for a long time. This is Jasper, a German Short-haired Pointer who came to us in 2002 with a crippled front leg. Fast forward to 2006, when Jasper was adopted by Laurie B. from Bozeman, Montana. Laurie had two young Vizsla girls and was looking for a companion for them. It turned out to be a perfect match, and since then Laurie has sent us occasional updates on Jasper. I recently received an email from Laurie with these photos and the latest on Jasper:
"It’s been awhile since we gave you an update on our ole Jasper. Thought you might get a smile seeing these, as we got a new pool for the pups and Jasper sure enjoyed cooling off. He’s such a wonderful guy and we feel blessed every day to have him in our lives!
"We can always rely on him to be the goodwill ambassador for the occasional foster Vizslas we care for, he’s like our Walmart greeter. His leg is still doing just fine and when he runs it’s amazing how fast he is and keeps up with the other 4-legged able pups. He’s also quite the hunter in the yard. One day a grouse must have flown into the yard and didn’t realize Jasper was there…we found Jasper happy as can be with a deceased grouse in his mouth, which he reluctantly gave up. He’s also been good at catching the occasional mouse, gopher, and ground squirrel — quite the stealthy character, must be the speckles against the white coat that gives him a good disguise."
Here are the two girlfriends admiring the hunk in the pool:
Thank you, Laurie!
