December 2007 Update:  JJ my little man is just priceless, he has matured into the most wonderful little gentlemen.    As you know coming up in January marks 2 years with our little fellow, can you believe it.  He and Skylar are just the best pals, and Henry the Maine Coon is totally in love with JJ, and our new rescue Gibson (Maine Coon mix) also just loves him.  JJ, sleeps in our bed, somewhere in between Bill and I or at our feet, just depending on where he wants to be.  In the mornings, its so cute.  We get up and Skylar bounds down the stairs, but my little gentlemen JJ, waits for his Mommy and gently walks down the stairs with me, and I always stop at the foot of the stairs to put on my slippers, and what does J do, he stops and waits for me.  It is just so cute and he does it every morning.  He also obeys every command, to the letter, unlike my bonehead Skylar J, who at 3 and ½ still has a lot of growing up to do.  So all in all, JJ is wonderful, he is so so very sweet and loving, I can’t tell you how lucky we are to have found each other.  J has also pretty much grown out of the terrible digging, the yard looks great us!
