| Jasmine is Gracie's sister. She wasn't one of the original three girls rescued, although she was loose that day. She was the only one put back in the Yorkie pen, but not for long. Her next location was on a cable outside the pen, with a small plastic dog crate for shelter, which she didn't use. She was out in the rain and in the sun with no shade. After observing this cruelty as long as I could, I asked if she could come over here with the others. So she was brought over, but was attacked by Peanut, who then was taken to the Yorkie pen temporarily. Or that was the plan. So now we had a new trio, but they weren't getting along very well. Jasmine ended up in a pen by herself, Peanut came back, attacked everybody, and sealed her fate. It didn't take Jazzy long to figure out how to get out of her pen, and soon she was running around next door with a yellow male that was loose. I thought she'd gone over the top, which was six foot high, until I found the fence was loose from the bottom rail. She knew all about crawling under fences! Jasmine has dismantled two dog houses and found a plethora of nylon bones, buried by her predecessors. I call her the bone collector. Jasmine is a real beauty. I called her the beauty queen before I named her. A stunning black and tan, my favorite color. I began to worry that her owner would take her back or give her away, so she became my dog the same day as Belle and Gracie did, or soon after. Although she doesn't bunk with the other two, they go in and out together, and have playtimes in the dog yards. She's my Jazzy Jasmine. Jazzy has learned to sit when I feed her, and to come to me when we're on our way to her pen in the mornings. She knows where we're going and jumps on the gate, but I use this opportunity to teach her something. After all, I have the food dish! Jazzy will be four years old in the fall, and would like to have a good forever home before she's an old lady. She doesn't actually know this, but I do. She's a lot better off than her relatives who are still living in a bad situation next door, but she's missing out on a lot that life has to offer. We hope for the best. |
