My Son/Boyfriend?

So It's been close to a month since I last posted? Ick. Not ok. We will work on this. And those goals I've been working on...don't worry I am still working on them. I'll post more about those in the next couple of days. But tonight, I felt it was time to introduce you all to a very important person in my life...My Dog, Linus. And yes I say person on purpose. He is quite possibly my favorite person in the world.

Two years ago this little bundle of joy came into my life...

So cute it hurts, right? I know. Quickly he was deemed my "son" and our adventures began. Linus quickly won the hearts over every family member in our house. We nicknamed him my "rescue" dog. He came to me right after my divorce. I like to think that he rehabilitated me =)


I was so proud of my little boy! His name came to me one day sitting at work. I actually looked on baby name websites haha. And finally I came across Linus. I knew it was perfect for him because A. My mom grew up loving the Peanuts Gang, and B. He already was constantly wrapped up in this specific blue towel we had. It was meant to be.

After Linus started getting older, he went through a sort of "doggie puberty." Except instead of the voice change, Linus had what we call the "ear change."

The last one shows a tradition that lasted quite some time. Our neighbors had an orange tree and after every walk Linus would pick one up off of the ground and carry it all the way home. He would drop it out for me and wait patiently while I peeled it for him so he could enjoy his treat! =) This next one we call "The Trump Look."

Another variation:


Finally his head began to grow into his ears, and they seemed to take their final resting place =)



One day we got a new recliner, and moved our old rocking chair off to the side. Before we had a chance to take it outside to get rid of it, Linus realized he could easily make use of it...


No Shame.



This chair has now never left its awkard spot in our bonus room and how now been deemed "The Linus Chair". Every night this is where he goes to relax =)
As my sittuation changed, Linus went for being referred to as my son to every once in a while as "the only man I need", or "the man in my life" and finally just, "My boyfriend."

He loves to spoon. So there you have it, my son/boyfriend. The only man I need =) Who is your favorite "person?"
