Meet Milo...

i adopted the cute lil bastard yesterday. :) his original name was 'Orange Kat.' so, yeah, that had to change quickly. didn't take long for me to settle on MILO. it was either that or Sunkist. i know i made the right choice and expect him to thank me for it later.
he's 14 wks old and 'needs a lot of work' as the rescue force put it. but that's okay. so do i. i suppose we'll try to work our issues out together.

last night, he rested in his pet bed, watching 'family guy' and 'brokeback mountain' with me. i reckon he was in it for the sheep. or jake gyllenhaal. either way, i'm sure we'll be great pals.

here's a vid of his first romp on my bed. :)
