My mother has started to consider adopting a dog, having been dogless for many years – and I am wondering if Jasper might be the perfect dog for her. She stopped working last year, so he would have almost constant company. She basically needs a small, friendly dog that enjoys short walks, cuddles and lots of attention. The fact that Jasper likes other dogs and kids is great, as she visits her sister who has a 5 year old and a puppy – and of course, he’d be welcome too. Do you have any idea if he is ok travelling by car? She lives in a bungalow with a really big, secure back garden. We had a shih tzu for 13 years so she is used to small dogs and their needs. Does she potentially sound like a match for Jasper? Only thing is that she said she’d consider adopting next year, so I’ll need to start persuading her!!!
