Linus is in puppy denial

Again, I am shocked and amazed. This evening we went to meet a dachshund puppy. It was only 8 weeks old, absolutely adorable! Linus came along but he stayed outside at first. We tried to introduce the puppy to Sir Linus but he denied it's very existance. He wouldn't look at it or get anywhere near it. It's not that he didn't see it, he did...but quickly looked away. It was really funny. If Linus could get his little paws up to his ears he would have closed his eyes and started singing loudly to block out all thoughts and images of the poor puppy. We still think Elvis or Minnie is the best choice. The dachshund rescue will be here on Saturday to inspect our home so unless Linus completely flips out & scares them off we should have a new doggie this weekend. How does Linus feel about this? The picture says it all.... But he just doesn't know what he's missing, he will come around to the idea. I know he will. : )
