Pets of WHSLA: Luna

 

Luna

I’m sure many of us have pets.  In my case, my dog is my only other library co-worker. 

Luna is listed as “library assistant” at my on-site office along with some other dogs and cats that serve as our assistants when we work remotely. She is approximately 3 years old.  She was found with her littermates in Arkansas, two brothers and a sister and was brought to Border Tails Rescue in Northern Illinois.  Last summer, we had a “family” reunion and one of her brothers and her sisters met us at a dog park.  It was so neat to see them run to each other and immediately start playing despite there being other dogs all around them. It was also fun to see how much they looked like each other and yet how different they were.  Her sister definitely had more lab in her and her brother was more schnauzer like. We have no idea what breeds she has in her, but she is 100% made for the libraries of my childhood where silence was expected because she rarely barks.

Luna enjoys long naps and sleeping in.  When we first adopted her, I was sure she would be my morning alarm clock, but she often stays in bed until 8 or 9 on the weekends, sometimes switching to whatever bed still has a human in it but staying in a bed alone if everyone is up.

She enjoys keeping my feet warm while I work and making sneak appearances at our health equity book club meeting.  This is the only meeting when she sneaks on camera for some reason.  Her favorite TV show is Bluey because her human brothers leave that on for her when we go out.  She will sit right next to my ten-year-old while he practices his saxophone so I’m assuming she loves that too.  She loves chew toys, grooming herself like a cat and using her buttons to tell us what she needs. I recently had to take away her “play” button because she would press it repeatedly during work calls. 😉

So WHSLA, show us your pets please 😊.
