Jasper, My Chocolate Lab

I think most of you know that we have a chocolate lab. Beth our boxer was having serious heal issues and she was almost 14 years old and she had to be put down. That was a very hard day for us. She lived a full life and we love her and will miss her. Anyway, Jasper and her were very close her last couple of years. And Jasper was lonely after she was gone. We have tried to fill the void for him and all the grand kids help because they shower him with love when they are around.
Jasper is a wonder dog and I have finally got him trained and he doesn’t chew up our shoes or stuff anymore. Puppies are hard to train and I hate the chewing stage. Jasper is really good and he does really good.
If you have a dog I hope you don’t lock him out in the cold weather. Jasper is a big dog but he is an inside dog that lives with us and we love him very much.
