Joann,

 

We got a puppy from you almost a year ago, it was one of Jasper Jacks pups, he was the brindle one, I don't remember what you named him but we named him Bogart Jasper, and we call him Bogie. 

 

We just celebrated his first birthday August 8th, and life is great for him and us.  He is the funniest thing, he really doesn't bark...unless he really has something to say.  His health has been fine, when we got him fixed he hadn't lost some of his puppy teeth and his adult teeth were ccoming in behind them, so while he was sedated they pulled 3 baby teeth.  Our vet said that is pretty normal for puppies, and nothing to worry about.  Bogie has a very big sister Bella, she is Boxer/Mastiff, and they are completely connected "at the hip" so to speak.  They play until they both pass out, usually at 8:45 pm every night, that is their nightcap of play.  Bogie will hang from her cheek and she will just lay down and surrender to him, then they chase and tug, then pass out. 

 

He is really an awesome dog, they are both inside all of the time, and neither one of them like wet grass or anything wet, I think they are afraid they will melt:)  The neighbors just watch as I walk Bogie who is 13 pounds and Bella who is about 100 pounds down the street just as if nothing was going on, they just chuckle, come over and give each a good rub or a kiss and laugh at their sizes and how close companions they are to each other.  Just wanted to keep you posted on how one of your babies is doing a year later, oh yes, did I mention he sleeps with us, he has his blanket and he cuddles and dreams (and snores) with me every night.  I can't ever imagine life with out him!!

 

Sincerely,
