Diary of Rosebud installment

Picked up Linus, formerly known as Rosebud and also known as "the twinkie" from the vet this afternoon.  He was vetted and is home now sans balls, hw negative and vaccinated.  The vet indicated he was easy to work on, a cupcake in her estimation.  They had no problems with him at the vet except he seemed somewhat fearful.  Didn't want to come from his run and had problems walking on the leash.  He was carried back on Thursday as the tech had no luck getting him to walk with him. No coaxing in the world was going to get him to leave the lobby.

He walked out on his own tentatively but at least on his own.  He is quiet when he rides, just curls up in a ball in the back.  He wears a body harness when he's out on the tie and on a leash since he can't back out of it nor can it slip off his head. It's a "right fit" in a figure 8 style that prevents slipping out.  We spend a lot of time just looking at each other. Me from the porch with my zoom lens and him from the yard.  At least he is not freaked out by the camera as many dogs seem to be.  He seems the most comfortable outside.
