BEVO BERRA!!

We are SMITTEN!!

Saturday, during my run, I kept thinking about how nice it would be to get a dog. We've been talking about it forever and wanted to wait until the summer when I would be home to train it. The more I thought about it I thought that maybe we could get a dog now- as long as we didn't get a puppy and we got something that was already trained. We decided to go to the shelter and just see what was there and talk to the people to see which breed might be good for us. We went to the shelter and started looking. Then we passed "Bruno (Bevo)." He was so sweet! We kept going back to him and Matt was in love. The dog kept whining when we walked away. Then it was my turn to melt. We took him in a room and played with him. He was SO happy and friendly! The lady said that he would be a great running dog for up to 3 miles as he was so happy and liked to run around. He's part Basset Hound and part Beagle. He's too adorable for words. They put a hold on him for us and had to "cat test" him as we have cats. They called me to say that the passed with FLYING colors. We picked him up today after he was neutered (hence the satellite dish).

Bevo and the cats are great together. We think Bevo is scared of Bill and Jackson doesn't know what's going on. I am happy to report that there has been absolutely NO hissing and NO barking! YAY!!!

Enjoy the pictures and be forewarned- there are going to be a lot of Bevo pics...
