family

My Dearest Copper,

It has almost been 3 months since you have been gone, and we have missed you every day. But something great has happened today! We have a new member of the family, his name is Bentley and although you both look so similar, you are so different!

You were so scared and anxious the whole car ride home when we picked you up and Bentley slept the whole way (except for the small part when he pottied on Cassie)
Cassie is my friend who came with me to pick up Bentley because Gary is away on a business trip.

You loved your toys from the start, Bentley doesn't seem to care for them as much!

You were so ready to explore your new home when you got here, but Bentley slept for the first two hours, haha, mostly between the couch and the side table or underneath his bed.

But you are also the same in ways,

neither of you seem to like to sleep ON your bed, both lay behind me in the kitchen when I am cleaning the dishes, you are both black, you are related, and both are the cutest and best things I have ever seen!

Copper, your dad is Bentley's Granddad (Copper's dad is the father of Bentley's mom)

I have been so excited to finally let out our "big surprise" and I know you would have loved to play with Bentley, but don't worry we have passed down your toys for his enjoyment!

Copper, you know we will never forget you, or replace you, but we are glad to welcome Bentley as the fourth member of the McNeillie family!

until next time...
