With this lovely website, Linus will romp forever in the fields of your memory. (Must have been written by Ann, 'cause I found
only 1 typo). |

Ann and Linda, we were so very sorry to read of your loss. We also had a puppy of ours die about 2 yrs ago. I still think
of him often. Thanks for sharing the memories. |

i saw linus last when he was losing the use of his
hind legs. the determination, strength
and will he displayed throughout the
weekend was extraordinary, second only to
the quantity and quality of the attention, patience, and
love you displayed towards him.
i'm humbled knowing that i have friends so
caring, sweet and loving as the two of you.
When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been
your delight.
Khalil Gibran
all my love and friendship,
michelle |

will keep him with you. |

I was shocked when I learned of Linus's passing. I don't know why; I rarely saw him or his people much, but I guess I thought
he would always be around. Funny that I didn't know him well and yet his death truly affected me. I have read all of the website.
It is beautiful in words and pictures and brought back so many of my own memories of dogs loved and lost. I used to think
that I could not determine what was greater: the joy the dog creates in our life or the pain we experience upon their passing.
But after losing the love of my life, Jake, on August 10, 2001 and living through it (albeit with engulfing despair, nausea,
and YEARS of waking up while in the act of stroking his belly having dreamed he was lying beside me), I think it is the joy.
So to Ann and Linda I want to say that one day your memories of Linus and his ways will only bring gratitude and no sorrow,
only laughter and no tears. He and you were the perfect gift to each other. |

While I didn't know Linus personally...more his parent...I felt like I knew him through Ann. Our dog Murray has a similar
disease as Linus and is in her final stage of life. If it wasn't through Linus, we wouldn't have found out about some of
the things that have helped Linus be more comfortable in his last stages (such as the Hartmann Harness and cart from Eddie's
Wheels). Linus had two extremely devoted parents and the best life a dog could ever hope for. Ann and Linda are in my thoughts
and prayers during this difficult healing time. I only know so well what emotions you are feeling. Linus is in a pain-free
dog heaven and looking down on you both lovingly for the many years of care you've given to him. I'm sure Linus and Murray
will hook up in the greater place;-) Peace to you both. Melanie |

I enjoyed getting to know your sweet pet Linus. I had a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes reading about his last day.
How lucky he was to have Linda there and how lucky she was to be able to say goodbye. We have a feisty doggie named Pai
(short for Paikea, named after the character in the movie Whale Rider) and I know how much joy they can bring to your life,
even though at times they try your patience. Thank you for sharing your story of Linus. I am sorry for your loss. |

I'm thinking about you. I know how hard it is to lose a beloved animal friend- and clearly Linus was and is dearly loved. |

Linus is your forever friend. You are all lucky to have shared your lives together. Your website is such a nice tribute
to that time. I will be thinking about you both. Time will heal, but it does take a lot longer than you would think to stop
feeling the pain of his loss, and just keep the happy memories. That time will come. |

Linus was dearly loved by Linda and Ann. He brought them much happiness and they greatly enriched his life. All three of
them were fortunate to have had each other over the past years. |

While I never met Linus, I know his moms and know how much he loved and was loved. Do take comfort in the fact that our critters
know when it is time, that he did it his way,that he is still a happy boy and that he is somwhere watching over you from now
on. |

I remember meeting him and calling him Mr. Magnifico, and how astonished we were that I had called him by one of his many
nicknames. He was one of those very special souls in a dog's body, sent here to teach us all how to better human beings.
You were lucky to have found each other, and I think you learned your lessons well. Blessings to you for having paid attention,
and for having loved him so well. |

Well, you guys sure do know how to make a girl weep. Your tribute to Linus is so wonderful. He was the greatest! I'm sure
that wherever he is, he is happy & running after some critter. He was lucky to have found two such wonderful people.
