1 Hi! I'm Luke.
2 I'm six years old.
3 I'm a very lean 16 lbs.
4 I am a nervous fellow, worried about new people, new noises, and new situations. Even in a familiar environment I am concerned about hands reaching for me.
5 That is a dilemma because I LOVE pats and scratches. They just have to be offered slowly by people I've learned to trust.
6 Once I know you, I'm not too scared to come up to ask you for some attention.
7 But fast moving, loud talking, unpredictable people are very concerning.
8 My foster sister Izee helped me start to feel comfortable in my new foster home.
9 She just gave me some space and showed me the ropes.
10 Before too long we were cautiously playing with each other.
11 Sometimes I instigate play and sometimes she does. Click for a short video.
12 mostly we just hang out.
13 I like a vantage point from which I can watch the goings-on around the house.
14 But sometimes being vigilant is too much work, and a guy's just gotta nap.
15 When the weather suddenly got cold I was happy to wear a sweater.
16 I'll follow you out into the yard to "do my business" pretty promptly when it's time. But please do keep me on a regular potty schedule because I'm not very brave at telling you when I need to go out.
17 I'm alert to household sounds and will bark when someone knocks at the door.
18 Feeling frisky
19 Cuddles and kisses with my Foster Dad.
20 I have a foster cousin who is a cat who stays with us sometimes. He reminds me of the cats I used to live with in my former home. I like hanging out with Todd.
21 I'm a GREAT leash walker. You go, I go. You stop, I stop. You hurry, I hurry. Most of the time you won't even notice me on the other end of the leash.
22 When I am feeling confident, I will readily come to you for pats. Click for a short video.
23 For some reason, whenever I "smile" at my trusted people (to request their attention and affection), they laugh at me. I don't mean to be funny! I'm just trying to ingratiate myself!
24 This is how I show you how much I want your approval.
25 Love me, love me, love me!
26 Wouldn't you like to give me a new Furever Home?
