The Demise of Jasper, Zaza and General. (Part 0ne 1)

It is great to be here. I feel so relieved having to tell read.cash family this story that has Left pain in my heart.

Sometime Four years ago, 2019 to be precise, our area of residence had high rate of insecurities. House to house Arm robberies both morning, night and afternoon became order of day. We live in a two storey building with tenants. The policemen who knew my mother advised her to get an English dog, she agreed to get it but didn't buy any dog . During July of 2019, My younger brother by name Jesuspower but popularly known as JP who has always dreamt of owning smart dogs took a step forward, bought a male puppy named him Jasper. JP named that puppy Jasper because the name sounds similar to his name but Jasper didn't live up to three days, he died.

Unfortunately for JP, he became sad because he has built a beautiful secured dog's cage downstairs, then bought a movable cage that befits a puppy. His aim was to leave Jasper in our flat since we own the house, then when Jasper grows, he could take her downstairs to his already built cage.

During September 2019, JP came across a female puppy, loved her and bought the dog. JP named that puppy Jasper knowing fully well the second dog is a female. Jasper is a name known for male folks. JP couldn't bear to change that name.

Jasper is a Pure breed German shepherd. Black and yellow in colour. Jasper's first day in our flat was so interesting. Jasper stayed at one spot for complete two days. After two days, Jasper learnt following JP up and down. On third month in our house, JP took Jasper downstairs to his cage.

On the fourth month of Jasper December 2019, she could recognize the faces of every tenant living in our house. Meanwhile personally I dislike dogs, but Jasper is exceptional. Jasper could communicate with us, play with every person in that house. Jasper is too friendly and possessive of her territory. She understands every individual's body language in that house. For instance, I dislike dogs, but I love Jasper. Jasper understands that I dislike her coming close to me, touching me or having flesh to flesh contact with her. She knows what every individual wants and does not want. She recognizes people by their scent, face, voice and the way the walk. She is loved by all. At a point, I stopped seeing Jasper as a dog but human, because her level of effective communication is top notch. When JP tells Jasper "go to the cage", she goes immediately. You needed to see how Jasper plays football with our tenants. Every evening, every member buys her favorite while returning home. Jasper's warm welcome by wagging her tail, hopping and jubilating is something that relieves daily stress, Mehn! Jasper is a cool dog to people she grew with but hostile to strangers.

Jasper is a high security dog, very alert and sensitive. Our neighbors noticed we bought dog due to constant barking of Jasper especially at night. You cannot come close to our gate just to stand. She feels every movement outside the gate. Because of Jasper, strangers stopped coming to our house, arm robbery around our residence reduced drastically. This dog wakes neighbors at night because her barking is furious and scary. In a long run, Jasper's bark became an alarm that something is wrong. Neighbors do wake up to check if they are safe.

Another striking thing about Jasper is even without told, you will know she is a female dog. She likes crossing her hands whenever she lies down. She keeps her environment clean. She knows where to urinate and deficate. Jasper is highly trained dog. I developed so much love for Jasper and everything that concerns her.

I remembered vividly when my brother came back one time in the year2020, and said that someone priced this dog with a mouth watering amount but he turned him down saying that Jasper is like a daughter to him.

Exactly one year of Jasper March 2020, JP bought another dog male dog named him Zaza. Chiwawa is Zaza's specie, black in colour and so hairy. The puppy looked like a mouse. After Zaza's third month of staying in our flat, He was brought downstairs to stay with

month of staying in our flat, He was brought downstairs to stay with Jasper. Lo and behold, Jasper disliked zaza. They became arc enemies. Jasper always bully Zaza. Occasionally, we see wounds and bites on Zaza's body as a result of Jasper's jealousy.

In the other hand, Zaza is so good at picking things. Every rat in our compound was killed by Zaza. Zaza a stubborn dog and hates intimidation. As little as he is, she barks back at Jasper whenever Jasper challenges him. This continued until one faithful day JP disciplined Jasper for always being a bully. JP denied Jasper of anything bone or meat that day and gave them to Zaza.

Surprisingly, Zaza brought some of those meat and dropped it into Jasper's plate. From that day onward this German shepherd and chiwarwa became best of friends. We observed and noticed Zaza loves Jasper more that he does and micmics Jasper at all time.

To be continued....
