Jasper
Jasper is a darling petite white & tan coton. Megan is disabled and Jasper goes everywhere with her - having him with her helps in so many ways just being himself. He's comforting when you're down and plays and dances with you when you're happy.
Jasper has enhanced our lives in so many ways. He's very smart and picks up on family life habits. He knows when he's in his carrier to be good and quiet. And when we set it down and say "OK" he jumps out and is ready to play. He's always up for walking and exploring new things. He loves playing with other dogs. He ignores cats unless they seem to want to play. He can be amusingly opinionated and has a mind off his own, but comes around to training well.
