Pozy and I drove Jasper to Salt Lake City yesterday — about five hours each way. We stopped along the way to pick up Dear Daughter and then went to a beautiful fenced yard that belongs to Elizabethanne’s friend’s brother so Jasper could romp safely before the next leg of his journey.
As I said yesterday — this was a village event.
Aliya, Kira and Jay’s daughter, was at my house for most of the day but Kira and Jay also spent time with the puppies, and then Galen and the kids finished off the day. Galen left when I got home but it was late and so the kids were asleep — they are still here, sound asleep.
As Dear Daughter stayed with Pozy in the van, I took Jasper into the Salt Lake City airport to await Jasper’s new human. We had planned to have some times together between the flight in and the flight out — but there was a three hour delay in the departure of the flight from Boston to Salt Lake City yesterday morning and so it was necessarily a bit of a grab-and-go.
It was — is — tough letting Jasper go, to be completely honest. Lots of tears.
That photo above — look at the very top. I noticed this morning as I was getting it ready to share that there is a star-shaped balloon. That little star somehow made me feel better — like it is a sign. Jasper is under a lucky star.
When he was very small I knew he needed to be with me — or Alison Jaskiewicz. The fact that he is not here with me tells you that he is now safely in New Hampshire with Alison and Tom, and his Uncle Zuber and Great-Aunt Kiri. Lucky Star indeed.
Alison flew 4500 miles yesterday to pick up Jasper.
Much gratitude to Alison for joining me in an epic travel day yesterday, and to everyone who helped make it happen so that Jasper could start his new life 🙏
With only four puppies, maybe it is going to be harder to let each one go. It helps so much that all of the Gems have A+ homes but yes, I will miss the boys. A lot. 💙💙💙
(Later)
Alison reports that Jasper is settling in well 🙏 The other boys, however, are not happy that they are now the targets of their wild sister.
She looks so innocent 🩷
Motherly love.
The boys.
