i'm not the only one in the family . . .

You heard me! As of today, I am not the only one in the family who loves skimming the pool!

Yep!  Bevo is feeling much better and his issues have calmed down. He only woke us up twice last night - HUGE improvement.  He ate a full meal of special food tonight and we are going to go for a little walk.  He is PRECIOUS! He also spent the afternoon with Matt and the pool.  he hasn't had enough nerve to get in -yet.  We can sense it's coming.  There will be pics- don't you fret. :-D

Here is Bevo helping Matt:

GAH!  I can't HANDLE the cuteness that is Bevo!!

Some side ramblings.  Matt got Bill for me when I moved into my first little apartment in Shirlington, VA.  I was scared of Bill at first and then I got used to him being around.  Weird though- I always had cats growing up but something about taking care of your "own" was a little frightening for me.  Then Bill and I moved in with Kerri and her dog, Binger.  Binger was awesome but he wasn't mine so I never got too attached to him.  I loved taking him for walks and letting him sleep on my bed when she went out of town (muahahahah >:) ) but he wasn't "mine."  Matt and I moved back to Shirlington and we had to get Jackson because Bill missed having a someone to fight with all day  friend.

Jackson was Matt's choice.  I wasn't sold as I was a little scared of him- he was another responsibility and he was not what I expected.  He also got super sick after we got him.  I never felt like I "knew" him until he ended up at the vet and they wanted me to come "say goodbye in case he didn't make it through the night."  We just got him a WEEK before and $1500 later we were hearing that.  I went to visit him and I melted.  He was too precious.  I cried the whole way home and most of the evening.  Now Bevo, who I loved instantly but never felt like I knew him, has me wrapped around his little paw.  I love him SO much!  There's something about taking care of a sick pet that makes them totally OWN you!  Is that weird that I never connected with my animals until I had to help them through something?

Either way, I love Bevo and I'm so glad he's feeling better!

Have a wonderful day!
