On Wednesday this week Kate made the kindest but hardest decision to let our friend Jasper go over the Rainbow bridge.
Jasper had been fighting a terminal illness for a number of months and Kate made the best call for her buddy.
We all know how hard these decisions are and my thoughts are with Kate and family at this time,
RIP and Run free Jasper you will be loved and remembered by all that knew you🐾❤️🐾
