Beanie (name for Bernard from Old School) was my first acquired pet. He came to the clinic only a few days old and had been abandoned by his mother. My then landlord took him in and bottle-fed him. When he came over to fix the furnace, I held Beanie while he worked. He saw us together and said “Great, I’ll be back with him in 6 weeks and he’s yours!”. I didn’t think I was ready for the responsibility of pet ownership AND I thought he was joking. Well Matt showed up 6 weeks later with Beanie and he was mine! He enjoyed going for rides in my truck and would run and jump on my shoulders when I asked if he wanted to go for a ride. It’s hard to believe he’ll be 6 years old this year.
