Has Jasper really been a part of my world for six months already? It feels like MUCH longer. Like she has always been here. She has 100% made herself at home. She knows where her home is and she’s actually quite smart. She’s also very much a royal PITA on the days she doesn’t get enough […]

Jasper Lily had an exciting couple of weeks. I was off for about 10 days for winter break and got to spend all my time with her. She loved having me home. It meant long and more frequent walks, trips to the dog park, hiking, lunch dates, cocktail dates and extra cuddles and naps. Jasper […]

Almost 6 months since Jasper came to live with me and she conquered two of her biggest fears to date; the beach and riding in the car.   At first I thought it was a fluke when Jasper scrambled to get in the back seat of my car last week as opposed to her usual […]

I will try and keep this short but you all know how much I can write! 🙂 Jasper Lily is the perfect size to take on a plane. She fits great in the little under the seat carriers so I hoped she would be a great travel companion. I’ll admit, I was anxious about taking […]

It has been five months since I first met Jasper Lily and welcomed her into my home. A home that I built with Shelby and that have now found the space in my heart and home for new love. I do wonder if Jasper fully understands that THIS place is HER space and she isn’t […]

I wanted to update Jasper’s blog last week but I got the news that my best friend’s dog had joined Shelby (and others) over the Rainbow Bridge and it just seemed irrelevant somehow.  It still rocks my inner core to learn of one of our fearless four-legged (and sometimes three) companions losing their earthly journey. […]

Has it only been four months since Jasper Lily found her fur-ever home with me? It feels like she’s been with me MUCH longer but in reality, she’s only been a fixture in my day to day life for about four months. And what an interesting four months it has been. Jasper continues to come […]

Ironically, Jasper Lily’s three month celebration comes on the same anniversary of the one year marker from when I found out Shelby had cancer. So I am really hoping that little Jasper Lily can deal with the heat long enough to bring me some smiles later this afternoon when I get home. What a few months and […]

Jasper Lily has gotten so brave as of late. She’s really filled out (figuratively and literally – I swear that little dog is bigger now). We’ve been going out and about a lot more. She has gotten so brave on our longer walks. I no longer suspect fear when she’s walking rather she walks with determination […]

WOW … has Jasper Lily really been a part of my life for two months? Like Shelby’s passing it feels forever long and forever short. It’s hard to believe that two months ago, on a Tuesday, I was driving to Orange County in rush hour traffic, sitting there, wondering what the hell I was thinking […]
