Peanut Butter!
A favorite treat at our house is when the hounds get to lick the last bit of peanut butter out of an almost-empty jar. I think Jasper likes it too!

Meet Jasper Sunday!
Jasper won't be at the 100 Oaks Meet & Greet on Saturday, but he will be with us at the 100 Oaks PetSmart on Sunday helping us take pet pictures with Santa. We'll be there from 11-4.
Come meet this sweet boy if you can! He'll greet you with his tail wagging and give you plenty of puppy kisses. :-)

Home for the Holidays?
Jasper is still doing great and would love to find his forever home for the holidays. He has been on a few home visits, but hasn't found the right home yet. He's such a sweet cuddly boy and would love to spend the holidays cuddled up napping with his new family!

Pupdate on Jasper
Jasper went on his first home visit last weekend and he did really well! He didn't get adopted this time, but I told him that as long as he keeps being such a good boy he'll get his own forever home soon.
He had another opportunity to meet a cat on the home visit, and I think he'll be cat safe. The cat hissed at him and poor Jasper tucked his tail and ran away!
I think he'll also be good with small dogs and should be okay being the only greyhound in the house. He gets along well with our resident greys, but doesn't really seem to like playing with them in the yard. His new favorite pastime is napping with his head in someone's lap, and I think he'd love a home where he can have a lap all to himself to sleep on. :-)

Happy Birthday Jasper!
Today is Jasper's 4th birthday!
While he definitely seems to be enjoying retired life in his foster home, the best birthday present he could get would be his very own forever family. I'm sure he won't be waiting long - he's an awesome dog!

Say Hello to Jasper
Jasper is an awesome dog! He's been here a little over a week and is settling in well. He's very sweet and loving and would make a "greyt" addition to any home.
He eats well and crates well and sleeps through the night. He likes spending time in the back yard and going on walks. And he's very curious about everything! The many steps in our house are usually intimidating for new fosters, but Jasper walked right up and down them without any hesitation. He was a bit awkward on the steps at first but he's doing great on them now.
Jasper also has all those special greyhound qualities that make this breed so wonderful. He's a champion napper and a pretty good roacher. He loves to give kisses, and when he gets excited he chatters his teeth. When he gets really excited he grins. :-)
We are still working on a few house manners like not counter surfing and not jumping up on people when he gets excited, but I'm sure he will learn those things with time. He has a small sore spot on his nose from his muzzle not fitting quite right, but it's healing nicely and should be gone in a few weeks.
We don't have a cat, but Japser tested cat safe at the kennel before coming to Nashville. He also ignores our neighbor's tiny dog that likes to run around and bark a lot, so I think he'll probably be cat and small dog safe.
