Two weeks ago my friend Jasper came over for another visit. His mom was going to be out of town on Friday afternoon and part of Saturday. I picked him up after work on Friday and Jasper settled in with no problems. He always likes spending time in my backyard and we took a couple of slow walks around the neighborhood, so he got to meet some of my neighbors, who all liked him very much.

We did have a restless night – Jasper has some separation anxiety, so it took him a while to settle down on top of my bed, and even then he woke up several times during the night. After breakfast we went for a slightly longer slow walk. And then while I did some work on the computer, he jumped back into bed and slept until his mom came to take him home.
