I think my main concern would be staying out of the line of fire, so to speak... 😁

Impossible! He thinks it's great fun to leap through the water and then launch himself at me so I chase him.

Chase? Or run from the Mud Monster??? Sounds like a great game! (If a bit dangerous to your clothes)

 

[JasMom]

What I really need is a good set of coveralls then it won't matter if I get muddy either!

Play with me!!!

Jasper went to Lowes with us. He made good friends with an employee. We were in one aisle for a little while. Jasper laid down. Good boy. See that tag on the floor? Jasper was trying to edge closer so he could pick it up. Not so good boy. LOL

I love those Jasper pics!!! He's adorable! 🥰

He knows he's a ham

Thief! Showing off his stolen goods… Jasper, go give Oliver back his balloon! 😂

 

[JasMom]

Jasper stole them on day 1. 😂

Does that make him Jaspereaux the Desperado??

 

[JasMom]

It does! And actually that is his theme song 😂

DH replaced the battery in the bathroom scale. We weighed ourselves and then added Jasper. 60 pounds. Probably not quite accurate but he is hefty. 7 months old on Monday

 

[JasMom]

Chilly, wet morning. Does he care? Absolutely not.

We're expecting some guests for Thanksgiving so the dogs needed new collars:

Jasper, we can't see the collar.

Helpful, Jasper, really helpful.

Oliver's collar (he has been kindly shredding a cardboard tube)

I swear, he IS still alive

I didn’t realize how long it’s been since I posted a Tale of Jaspereaux!

After keeping Jasper in a “doodle” cut this whole time, I bought the Kalstone Poodle grooming book. My DH liked the lamb cut and surprisingly WANTS him to look more Poodley (from the guy who didn’t even want a Poodle in the beginning and definitely didn’t want a Poodle clip 😂). I started small last week and shaved his face to see how we liked it. Once I have a day to do it, I’m going to work on the full groom.

You need a wooden windmill in the background. Jasper always looks like he's waiting for you to catch up so you can go on your next adventure! (He makes me think of Don Quixote) 😉

 

[JasMom]

He is always waiting. He runs ahead and looks back like WOMAN Why are you so slow?? 😂

After reading posts here, I got the dogs a Giggleball for Christmas. I decided to let them check it out today. It was a no for the Greyhounds once they realized a small animal wasn’t trapped inside but Jasper loves it.

 

[JasMom]

Today Jasper had his bath. Tomorrow we start his new hair cut.

Make-Over Grooming Part 1: Face is mostly finished (I keep seeing places I could touch up), feet are roughed in. Would have finished the feet, but Jasper decided he was over it. DH asked why I shaved his feet. I explained that was common for Poodles and even in the clip he liked. He said it looks like I gave up and stopped trimming him. I'll work more on his feet tomorrow. What's interesting is he let me shave out his paw pads without trouble (that was what he previously hated), but now doesn't want the top of his feet shaved.

A groom doesn’t stay fresh for long when you’re a farm Poodle

Evidence I did shave his feet 😂😂
