Welcome Jasper


After much consideration  we have finally decided to get a new family pet. Now almost 9 years since our wonderful Caleidh passed we gave in to the kids (and Kathryn's) constant begging and have a new puppy! 
Jasper is a beautiful red and white Border Collie. Very smart and an absolutely wonderful gentle sweet nature so far. We picked him up from the breeder almost two weeks ago and he has transitioned into the family beautifully.  We are in the middle of crate training him and have all the necessary arrangements in place for his return to Hong Kong with us. Although a back yard would be the ideal we have decided to tackle the challenges of having an energetic pup in a high-rise apartment over the alternative of  waiting for the "perfect" time and place to own one. 
So, I am sure we will have a number of interesting experiences to report on the blog in the coming year with our newest addition.
