Pet Love

We have two great pets, Linus and Tygg, who continually smother us for affection, and generally act like big hams around the house.

Linus here is the newest member of our family. We adopted him at the end of July 2011 when he was just 7 weeks old from the St. Francis Animal Shelter. He weighed only 7 pounds when we first picked him up! He's a mix between an American Bulldog and a Black Lab, and we find he's the most lovable, silly dog that we've ever had the pleasure to meet. Now, at eight months old, Linus tips the scales at a muscular 81 pounds, and the vet promises he's still growing! Read more Linus posts.


This little jokester is Tygg, our resident feline. Adopted in June of 2008, Tygg will be 4 years old this year! Linus loves Tygg, it's just undecided whether Tygg loves Linus. Like most cats, Tygg spends most of his free time sleeping, or generally meowing at us for reasons which we can never decipher.
