I guess Jasper wanted to smell good, too, because this happened. 🤣
From unwanted, injured stray to loved family member, Jasper's journey has only just begun. This is where you can find his story.

Someone got a haircut! "Summer Stormy" is back! 😁 Jasper inspected him and said he's fine.
I've been wanting to make a Loot Pouch for some time, and I finally did it. Look at those cute baby dragons! More test items for the shop are coming soon!
Jasper had his annual check up today. Aside from being overweight (oops!), he's healthy and doing well! But he really hates that table. 😥
We love Spring! The boys REALLY love Spring! 🤣🤣
This is our friend, Tracy. When we found Jasper, I reached out to her since she was a vet tech and knew the facility we took him to. She gave us support and peace of mind. Because of medical issues, she's now in a tough spot and needs our support. Please share and donate, if you can. Thank you.

This is Pan and Loki. Also Jasper and Stormy, but we'll get to them. Around 6:45 this morning, we felt little feet scurrying up the bed. We were mostly asleep and are used to little feet on the bed, so thought nothing of it. Until... I shifted... and heard a little high-pitched bark. My eyes shot open just as Pan jumped over my head and landed on the night table! As you can imagine, we jumped up and started the "catch the glider" game. Loki is not as adventurous as his brother and was still downstairs. Pan was enjoying his jaunt around the house but finally returned to the cage. Stormy enjoyed the excitement, and Jasper helped by herding his little buddy back to safety. Cage door checks are now part of the nighttime routine. Lol
ETA: Just to clarify, Pan and Loki are perfectly fine. They didn't get hurt at all on their little adventure.
Happy Valentine's Day! If you don't do Valentine's Day, happy Wednesday! As you might have guessed, we've been busy here lately. I managed to get a fun little project done for myself (a test for the shop). It's intended to fit a Kindle, but I had to be extra and make it big enough for my tablet. You may see some "correctly" sized versions with new fabric in the shop soon, as well as some other fun makes! Meanwhile, Jasper and Stormy took Daddy on an outing to the old farm near our house. They had fun and are now taking a well-deserved nap!

Jasper is back to wearing his sweater outside. He likes the snow until he realizes how cold he is, and then wants to come back in. Stormy, however, turns into a crazy monster. He gets so excited, he scares Jasper. We're working on that with Jasper since Stormy just wants to play, but it's a challenge.
It's not our couch. It's their couch. 🥰
Jasper had already gone upstairs to bed, so we brought him back down for this. 😆 Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! We've been so busy this week, even Jasper is exhausted. 😆
It's been a busy couple of weeks, and while today is no different, we made time to take advantage of the nice weather. Jasper lounged, as usual, and Stormy found some leaves to roll in. 😆 Now that we are back inside and Stormy has been brushed, it's time to focus on making gifts! If you need some last-minute gifts yourself, check out our shop! https://loverescuedhim.etsy.com
Jasper and Stormy heard something and forgot what they came out to do. Although I think Jasper just wanted to check things out since all he did was walk around, sniffing.
And if anyone was wondering if I use what I make, yes I do! This was my first dog walking bag, and I use it every day. I love having everything I need when I go out the door and the ability to have my hands free to hold leashes and give scratches.

I haz a pillow. That is all. Oh, and mommy says don't forget to check out our shop for your gift giving needs! https://loverescuedhim.etsy.com
They may be cute, but one is a drama pup and the other cried most of the time his brother was gone, getting checked out at the vet.
Last night, Mike tripped over Stormy. Stormy cried out and started limping, so he went to the vet this evening. After a full exam, he was diagnosed with milking it for all he's worth to make Daddy feel guilty. He's fine. Meanwhile, Jasper kept going to the door, crying for them to come home. These boys... 🤣
Don't forget to check out the shop and get your gifts! www.LoveRescuedHim.etsy.com
FINALLY! After much anticipation (at least from us lol), our shop is open! Great gift ideas for the dog people in your life. Or just for you! https://loverescuedhim.etsy.com
Jasper really wants to be a lap dog, but he still hasn't figured out how. So, Stormy jumped up to show him. Dogs are WAY too sweet!
Shop update: Due to circumstances beyond our control (we're fine, just frustrated), the shop will open on Monday. Hopefully. LOL But... we will ship the ready-to-ship items asap, so you should still get them in plenty of time. We will post the link and announce the opening as soon as it's ready!
We hope you all have a wonderful day today. We're thankful for such a great community who helped us through Jasper's initial and continuing recovery.
I'm not feeling well, so we had to cancel family plans. But... I'm thankful for a husband who gets up early to cover my dog walking shift and for living next door to one of my best friends who makes enough food for an army and offers to bring us plates with all the fixin's!
What are you thankful for?
If you've been wondering why we haven't been posting as much, here's a sneak peek! We've been working hard to re-open the shop this weekend, just in time for holiday shopping! Jasper is super excited about it. 😆
Normally, they're fine laying together. Unless one of them lays on part of the other, like here. I guess Stormy thought Jasper's rear wasn't comfy because he got down all on his own. Lol
Today begins the boys' weekend at home, as I'm off to get ready for my daughter's baby shower. Something tells me they'll be ok, after the initial panic of mommy leaving. ❤️
Blessed Samhain and Happy Halloween! We are celebrating our anniversary outside with neighbors and having fun with trick or treaters. We hope you all are having a wonderful night!
Stormy is feeling so much better that he's been teaching Jasper the happy p@ dance! Jasper is getting the hang of it, although he's not as wiggly as Stormy is. Watch Jasper's right hind leg at the end. 🤣
Happy weekend! That's how I was going to start a post for yesterday, and then our weekend went downhill. Friday, Stormy was acting off. Nothing glaring, just not energetic. Then, that evening, we noticed he was guarding his back. He wasn't in obvious pain, but he was definitely uncomfortable. Our vet is amazing and squeezed him into the schedule Saturday morning, where she agreed that he wasn't in immediate harm. I brought him home with some pain meds and plans to follow up on Monday. Shortly after we got home, I got stung by a wasp. I'm allergic, so that meant epipen, ambulance, and the rest of the day in the ER. We're all doing ok now, but I hope today is better!
Jasper took the opportunity this morning to make sure Stormy remembered his sniffing lessons. 😆
As much as we love having the dogs sleep with us, we decided to put the big bed back beside ours, to give everyone a little more space. The first pic is last night, and the second is this morning. I think it's a hit. We even told him he didn't have to stay there, but he did. I kinda missed not being able to move my legs. But, Stormy took full advantage and laid between us all night. 🤣
Jasper went to the vet today and was such a good boy! It was time for his annual checkup, vaccines, and tests. He protested while on the lift table, but his vet was able to do her thing so he can stay healthy. ❤️
I did not realize how long it's been since I posted. Whoops! Stormy got a hair cut today and the boys did not like being separated. Lol Now that we're all home, Jasper is teaching him to relax in the sun.
Jasper lost his little "sister" tonight. Ziggy (the brown one) is now with her sister, Stardust. We can almost hear Dusty popping and running around, excited to have her sister back, but we will miss them both, so much. Hail, the Traveler.

We hope you are all having a good weekend! I have been getting ready for my work trip this week, with Mike's help. But, we took a puppy break so the boys could enjoy the sun. Jasper had fun getting scratches, and then Stormy went into crazy, silly puppy mode. 🤣
Yesterday, I could barely get Jasper back in the house. This morning, it was pouring down rain, and he wanted no part of it. I had to carry him down the porch stairs. 😆
It may be windy and chilly, but Jasper doesn't care because there's sun! He did not want to go back inside, so he threw a temper tantrum in the only way he knows how (you know, because he really doesn't have a temper 😆).
I picked Jasper up and he's home now. He got through his first treatment procedure and is recovering from anesthesia. It's going to be a long night. Guess who doesn't come out of anesthesia well.... I can't blame him because I don't either. He's still groggy and miserable. I'm hoping he is willing to eat soon because he needs to start his prednisone tonight and has to take it with food. He is also on a muscle relaxer, as well as his normal gabapentin and trazodone. Maybe once we go to bed, he'll sleep some more. If not, I'll be right there with him to comfort him. Right now, he's just crying and it's breaking our hearts.
Happy Saturday! It took a few days longer than I'd hoped, but I finally got the video of Jasper walking. He's so much better than he was a year ago! We still need to get the CT scan done to see if he needs to have the pins removed since his hips still make the clicking sound. It doesn't slow him down, though. Oh, and if I sound out of breath in the video, I wasn't. I was COLD. It was rather chilly this morning and after a couple of mild days, I was not prepared.

One year ago, Jasper took his first steps outside since his surgery. He's come SO far and we are so grateful for him. I didn't get a "year later" video because it's a rainy day, but I'll try to get one tomorrow. https://sites.google.com/view/loverescuedhim/home www.LoveRescuedHim.etsy.com See all of Jasper’s social media here: www.campsite.bio/loverescuedhim #loverescuedhim #dogsofinstagram #doglife #miracledog #lovemydog
One year ago today, we picked Jasper up from the vet hospital and started our journey home. It's been a year full of healing, love, and fun. Here's to many more! 🥂 https://sites.google.com/view/loverescuedhim/home www.LoveRescuedHim.etsy.com See all of Jasper’s social media here: www.campsite.bio/loverescuedhim #loverescuedhim #dogsofinstagram #doglife #miracledog #lovemydog
Happy Gotcha Day, Jasper! After finding him in such bad shape, we had no idea how far he could come in just a year. We are still concerned with what he has coming, but today we are putting that aside. Today is about gratitude! Thank you so much to Lakes Area Veterinary Hospital, Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists, Veterinary Surgical Centers - VSC, and Old Mill Veterinary Hospital. Hopefully I didn’t miss any of the amazing vets that have helped Jasper along his journey. Thank you to our family and friends who supported and encouraged us. And certainly, thank you to EVERYONE who donated to save Jasper. He could not have come this far without each and every one of you. We are so grateful for you all! https://sites.google.com/view/loverescuedhim/homewww.LoveRescuedHim.etsy.com See all of Jasper’s social media here: www.campsite.bio/loverescuedhim #loverescuedhim #dogsofinstagram #doglife #miracledog #lovemydog
Jasper met some new friends this morning! One of them was really brave and came within 20 feet of us! Jasper and I were walking the other way so he could go potty and the closest one just followed us. I told them that it was really sweet, but they shouldn't trust humans. And especially humans with hounds. But, what a sweet baby! www.LoveRescuedHim.etsy.com See all of Jasper’s social media here: www.campsite.bio/loverescuedhim #loverescuedhim #dogsofinstagram #doglife #miracledog #lovemydog
I posted this as a story. At least I think I did. So just in case, here is it again. 😆 My voice sounds weird because of allergies. It was really hot in NC and I came home to 20 degrees cooler, so that didn't help my sinuses either. Anyway, Jasper really doesn't care about rain. Luckily for me, Stormy does so he just runs out, does his business in about 15 seconds and comes right back. Taking River out is a whole production since he has his wheelchair, but Mike handles that. Don't get me wrong, rain is awesome. It nourishes nature and can be peaceful or torrential, which fascinates me. But this morning is a cold rain. I don't like being cold. It's a good day to stay inside and sew! We hope everyone has a great weekend! www.LoveRescuedHim.etsy.com See all of Jasper’s social media here: www.campsite.bio/loverescuedhim #loverescuedhim #dogsofinstagram #doglife #miracledog #lovemydog
Jasper got to go on a walk with Stormy! We usually take them separately since we don't often have time to walk them together. Since this was a bit of a treat for them, here's a video! And yes, Jasper found a random bone (ew), but he's learning and dropped it as soon as Mike told him to! Yay! www.LoveRescuedHim.etsy.com See all of Jasper’s social media here: www.campsite.bio/loverescuedhim #loverescuedhim #dogsofinstagram #doglife #miracledog #lovemydog

This is Jasper's "let's go, let's go!" song and dance. Have I mentioned how much he loves going outside? 😆 He no longer fears the stairs. At all. Last night, Mike came to take him out after I went to sleep. Apparently Mr. Sneaky Puppy got by and went down the stairs by himself. He was careful and didn't hurt himself, thankfully, but yeah... Once he gets over a fear, he's unstoppable. 🤣 www.LoveRescuedHim.etsy.com See all of Jasper’s social media here: www.campsite.bio/loverescuedhim #loverescuedhim #dogsofinstagram #doglife #miracledog #lovemydog
