We are very sad that we had to let go of Jasper last Sunday, our sweet little man, our first rescued dog from Battersea Dog Home in London, who was with us for exactly 10 years and died aged around 17 years of age.
Among many other things, we remember him for spontaneously herding a group of baby ducklings and their mother for one mile to safety, while fending off air attacks from crows, for being a fantastic swimmer and even diving under water to fish out something very unpleasant, for playing frisbee at lunchtime with our incredibly handsome South African employees and then walking over to pee on the leg of a smitten young girl, who distracted them from their game. He was loyal, extremely gentle and beautiful and knew straight away that Tillie was best used as a cushion. We will always miss him. Image showing Jasper with Tillie last year.
I'm a bit late but, RIP Jasper. I knew him well. Used to walk him in the park and he rode shotgun with me in the CH van. A delightful little soul.
ReplyDeleteI am living in Los Angeles now and have a rescue dog of my own. Her name is Ruby, she's very special...
