Sharing my love for animals, photography and Reiki
Jasper has been with us almost seven months now and is such a part of our little family. He loves life, loves food, loves running, loves snuggling on his bed and is just a total sweetheart.
There are probably hundreds, possibly thousands, of older dogs like Jasper in rescues across the UK who need a family of their own. If you are looking to get a dog, please consider rescue. Please consider an older dog. They will bring much joy and very little trouble
I haven’t blogged for a couple of weeks due to a very stressful time regarding the health of one of my beautiful dogs. Thankfully she is much improved and, we hope, showing us miracles do happen.
I took my camera out on a walk this evening and thought I would share these two photos of another one of my dogs, which have really helped to cheer me.

It’s been a wonderful six months since we brought Jasper home on New Year’s Eve as an emergency foster for Oldies Club (and fell in love ;)).
Hard to believe that six months ago he’d been taken to the vets to be put down because his owner was seriously ill and the family were unable to keep him.
We love him so much, he has slotted into our family perfectly and I truly believe that he was meant to come here. Some photos from the last six months
In bed on New Year’s Eve, his first evening here, after he had managed to relax a little.
During his first proper walk with us, on New Year’s Day:
We were initially advised not to let him off lead as he didn’t respond to his name, but after a few months of bonding and training and walking him with our other dogs who have great recall, we started letting him off lead. He loves to have a run around and is great at coming back when calledWhen he’s off lead he looks back often to check we’re still there.
He gets on really well with other dogs:
For a Heinz 57 type dog, he makes a great retriever!
He has found a new lease of life
and seems very content with his new family
He works with me to help raise funds and awareness for Oldies Club too, so that we can help other oldies in need. He has his own fundraising page:

Thank you, Jasper, for coming into our lives ♥

Am rather pleased that a photograph I took a few years ago has been selected for a Labrador calendar for 2011, which has been raising funds for various dog rescues in the UK
The photograph was second place in its category and I gather will be included in the calendar with the first place photo.
