Jasper is a very sweet natured dog.  I took him on a long walk yesterday and he did really good.  He is great on a leash.  Not like an experienced leash walker, but he does fine.  I tried to interest him in playing with some toys, but he isn't showing any interest yet.

I had him on a retractable leash and he was so gentle and easy.  I could entice him to come to me and I would give him some hotdog and tell him good boy when he did.  I walked with him and then just took him with me while I was doing some yard work.  If I would stop to work in the flower beds, he would just lay quietly near me while I was doing my work.  He seems like a mellow guy who is just happy to have some attention. 

The main thing I wanted to let you guys know is that he seems to love love love little boys!  My son Colt who is 10 was gone the first night that I brought Jasper home so he hadn't met Jasper yet.  When Colt got home yesterday, Jasper immediately left my side and went to Colt and looked at him with the sweetest look. Jasper sat patiently and waited for Colt to pet him.  He did not jump up on him or anything, just wanted to be petted.  I really think he loves children.  It's hard to explain, it was just that his whole disposition just melted at the sight of a child.  It made me want to cry, it was the sweetest thing!!

I have attached a couple of pictures.  One of the pictures is of all the hair that I brushed off of him last night.  His coat is kind of dull, but I am hoping with brushing and better food that it will become shiny.  He really is a pretty dog.

Jasper is being fostered in Eastern Oklahoma.  For more information on Jasper, please contact Kathy at kathyjimmyelyse@hotmail.com.
