Jasper Lily’s petrifying weekend
Oh Jasper Lily … the world isn’t that scary and life would be so much more fun if you were able to embrace it!
I truly believe Jasper is part cat – she literally will go hide and I have NO clue where she is. She can skinny herself under lots of furniture that doesn’t really thrill me but I guess it isn’t hurting anyone. Yet she wouldn’t ‘skinny’ herself into a carry-on pet bag at Petco yesterday (she got HUGE all of a sudden). I still think she will fit in one of those bags so she can fly w/me. She should like it – it’s a small and secure place which she seems to love!
For whatever reason, people are STILL setting off fireworks so Friday night, this is where I found Jasper. Under my bed.
Last night was gorgeous and I was chilling at home with some wine and I thought we should go to the beach to check out the sunsets. While she is getting better on the beach, she definitely still gets spooked and has her tail between her legs. She made some friends and some people assured me she would grow out of her ‘fear of the sand’. Those ears! And her eyes seem to get even bigger when she’s scared.
Today, we had a flash storm. It came on without warning so had I known, I would have put her thunder shirt on, which does help. But we were outside, saw lightening and then BOOM! Spooked is an understatement. She was shaking so hard. I grabbed her and ran her inside and as soon as I put her down one guess to where she headed.
I put her shirt on her and that is where she is hanging. Or under a piece of furniture. I can never easily find her and that freaks me out. As long as I know where she is, I don’t really care if she wants to hide. I feel so bad for her. The thunder, lightening and rain has all stopped but this weather is not typical for LA – at all.
But she got her very own Kong this weekend and a new antler so she’s excited about that ( in between being petrified). And we had some good cuddles! She buried her head under a ton of pillows on my couch this morning. So just another weekend in the life of little Miss Jasper Lily! 🙂
Ohhhhhh! She looks so scared!
Give her a smooch from us. I hope the thunder has stopped. It scares me too!
July 28th, 2014 at 2:16 amYou are right!!! Her eyes an ears do get bigger!!! And it just makes her even cuter, if that’s possible!!
I feel ssso badly for her.that those awful loud sounds scare her. But you know what? As scared as she is, think how frightened she was out on the street when al k these noises were all around her…and she had no bed to hide under, no purple mat and no one to comfort her or reassure her. I’m so glad she has you now!
GREAT PHOTOS…nice “frame”. We joke about her ears, but she really is a pretty girl.
HUGS TO ALL!
Sally and Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
July 28th, 2014 at 4:15 amThank goodness for the magical powers of the purple bath mat!
She really did look terrified but – as Sally said – now she has a secure safe home where she if loved 🙂 so she will learn she doesn’t have to be so fearful.
Give her some snuggles for us
