My Mom says I am a little daring and I was
probably born around August or September of 2000. I was found as a stray and
taken to the Lafayette Indiana Animal Shelter.
No one ever came looking for me and I was not adopted from the shelter
because everyone thought I was so hyper and there was also a concern that I
either been hit by a car or had a hip problem.
GRRACE was called!!
On February 19th, 2001 I joined
my family. The folks at the shelter
had named me Linus and it seemed to fit me.
Mom says I am a goofy looking boy with a long narrow head and low set
long ears and my name suits my personality as much as my features seem to. I
came with kennel cough and it was soon discovered I was suffering from
panosteitis. They said it was a
bone disease I would outgrow but boy does it ever hurt!! I have not been the
easiest dog in the world to house train - but I’m all healthy and better now
and am growing up to be a very good puppy.
My family says I am pure Sunshine!
I am always very happy and the whole world and everyone and everything in
it is a source of joy and wonderment to me.
I love being a lap dog when I can and I am a wiggle butt supreme and have
mastered the full body wag. I am working on my counter surfer title next…along
with keeping track of where my “kitty” is, that is when I’m not trying to
find someone to kiss!
Whenever I have a tough day, I look at Linus and how he enjoys the simple pleasures of life and it makes everything right.
