And this is Beatrice~
I love those older grama names... as a teacher for 30 plus years, I've had students with nearly every possible name and it is always fun when I hear a name and think "Wow! I haven't taught anyone named that yet!"- recently Stuart is a name I haven't taught, as well as Fred, Edmund, Erma, and now Beatrice...
This face is a good one~
Here is Beatice's story, by Beth~
"Beatrice or the Queen Bea. You know how dads will say they aren't "cat people." They will scoff, protest, and even point to their allergies. And then a cat comes along that changes everything. Dad loves that cat in spite of everything, and that cat becomes his world. Beatrice is not "that cat." But when "that cat" passed away and broke his heart, he swore he'd never get another. We didn't believe him, and when we found multiple cats at the shelter that all had the same photo, we thought that one of those might be a good option. We told the shelter give us the one that would be the hardest to place. Beatrice came home. She was a rescued barn cat with her second litter of kittens. She was skinny and tired. We brought her home to rest. Days and weeks of patience brought her out of her shell, and she became a queen. Now she is sassy, rules the roost (and our dogs), and has Dad wrapped around her paw. "That cat" wore Dad down and taught him to love cats. Beatrice got "that Dad" with no assembly required. "
