Yup, that's Jasper Lily on my bed but she was so darn cute (and success, she slept there and did NOT pee). She was playing and I finally caught her smiling (it's about the third time this week). So that's pretty funny ... pretty clean teeth!
So I let her sleep w/me last night ... she isn't a huge fan of the ceiling fan (those ears) but she did well... what's funny is she absolutely needs to sleep w/her babies ... in her paws... or around her. Doesn't matter which ones but she needs babies to feel safe!
Happy Friday!!!

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
Alison,
This pic of Jasper is too precious!! I had to send you this pic, which I know you have probably seen already, but everytime I see it now, I think of sweet little Jasper......and I think the same as what the title of this is for Jasper's life with you, "BEST. DAY. EVER." !!
Much Love,
Bonnie & Angel Polly 
OMG... that looks like Jasper!!! I have seen that and it cracks me up every time!!! Totally Jasper... "best. day. ever."...
Truly - it's been so wonderful to watch her blossom and grow and learn to love and trust. Shelby knew what she was doing when she sent me Jasper .. I think I am starting to 'love' her but I definitely LOVE seeing her happy and safe. To see her happy I think is what brings me the most joy!
Much love!
