Pupdate
Jasper is home! He is pleased to be back with his friend, Porky Pig. You can see that they had to shave big bands of fur off his paws for the IVs. Between that, and the shaving for the surgery, he looks like a very patchy rug...
He is relieved to be back at his post. He was very worried that the Evil Hordes of Satanic Squirrels might have overrun the place in his absence.
