How old is Jasper? My next door neighbor had a dog named Trooper, she was a lab and was aout 14. She had hip displaysia. She got so bad (to the point were she would just lay there if she had to pee, and pee instead of getting up) Now she is livving a wonderful life as a puppy at the rainow bridge... i truely miss her because she was my neighbors, and one of the dogs that i first ever met. Now her puppy, Terra(12-13 i think), has hip displaysia... shes getting bad but not as bad as Trooper was. Tehy were both hunting dogs. Im not cryin because i miss Terra
