More of Jasper

I know, I know, I've been pretty bad about getting new pics of everybody else! But Jasper has been soooo photogenic these days, getting in his beautiful winter coat, that I just can't resist. This is his first winter with me and I've never seen his full coat, so of course I am over here swooning! LOL!

Here he is again... hunting for honey! As a fun activity for him, several times a week I'll smear dabs of honey or peanut butter hidden on the tree trunks and rocks in the enclosure. He has a great time sniffing around through the woods looking for treasures.

Another thing he LOVES is his new Jolly Ball... it's a toy made for horses, so wolf rescues often use them because they're very tough. Well, I bought the smaller one for Miniature Horses and I'm not sure it's as indestructible as the larger one... it's already got a hole in it, but Jasper doesn't mind!

Jasper watching me out of the fence. This is the view out my front picture window! I love being able to watch the dogs from the living room. I think they like being able to keep tabs on me, too, while they're outside.

And lastly... BELLYRUBS! Jasper's most favorite thing in the whole wide world!

Here he is leaning up against my boots... silly Jazz, he's such a lovebug.

Look at those muddy feet, though! All the grass in the yard is gone. Next spring we're going to put in paths along the dogs' usual trekking patterns, plant tougher grass and have gravel/sand mix in areas with poor drainage. Yuck, I hate the mud!

That's all for today - thanks for looking!!

Oops! I forgot one, and a really nice one too!

Jasper says, "Thank you for looking! Aren't I cute?"

CocoaCream · 11-05-2009, 04:56 PM

He is soooo handsome, Nekomi! No need to apologize for posting pics of such a gorgeous boy!

~jessie~ · 11-05-2009, 05:01 PM

Wow, he's gorgeous! Great pictures!

Jasper is the prettiest dog in existence, I think. And I am so envious of your enclosure, how cool!

Michiyo-Fir · 11-05-2009, 09:57 PM

He's absolutely gorgeous! Love his thicker winter coat as well. He's such a wolfy dog and a big sweetie too!

Siberian · 11-05-2009, 10:00 PM

He's a wolf? Is he part or full?

He is a very gorgeous dog. Really beautiful coat

Thank you all so much for the compliments! I love photographing him.

Lauren, that is so sweet! I'm glad you like the enclosure! Your Papillions would fit right through the fence, though!

I always think that if I ever got a small dog, I'd have to add another layer of fencing.

Not a wolf, but a wolfdog. He is about half wolf, the other half is likely Malamute.

You can definitely see the wolf in him. I've always wanted a type of wolf so I am very envious(especially when I see one as beautiful as Jasper

.)

he is beyond amazing!

his coat is similar to keno's coat, i love the coloring!

TuckerBoo · 11-06-2009, 09:02 AM

Wow- thanks for posting those pics. Jasper is so pretty! I'm sure he loves his enclosure

i LOVE jasper! he really is one of the prettiest dogs i have ever seen. i could look at pictures of him all day long.

i am also envious of your enclosure. i was just telling my dh about it the other day (your method to keep the dogs from digging out)

He is very stunning though! I have a real thing for wolves and wolfdogs. Such amazing animals!

I think my paps would have lots of fun playing jump through the fence lol. They can jump through our fence here too so I have to always be outside supervising.

He is very cool!!

Obviously we don't have wolf dogs over here and whenever i see husky owners they normally have a group of kids shouting "wolf" behind them,especially if its bangladeshi kids who are not used to seeing huskys.
I would love to walk down the street with Japer just to see the people stare/run or scream

ptoot · 11-08-2009, 12:26 PM

I could drool over pictures of him all day long!!! He is absolutely gorgeous!!
What area of the country are you in that you are lucky enought to have such awesome pets?
