This week’s Crenshaw Animal Clinic Pet of the Week is the adorable and energetic Lady Lou, a ten-week-old full-blooded Australian Shepherd. She is the cherished companion of Gus Williamson and Kadee Linton of Goshen. 

Lady Lou is a vivacious pup who loves attention. Her boundless energy is matched only by her endearing personality. According to her owners, she’s a bundle of joy with a whole lot of sass.

While Lady Lou loves the outdoors, she’s primarily an indoor pet. Her safe place is a cozy bed shared with her loving family.

Lady Lou often vocalizes her desires as she’s known to whine persistently until she gets her way.

Lady Lou is never far from her daddy’s side. The young pup follows him around faithfully, and when he finally stops, she seizes the opportunity to lay on his feet.  Cuddling is Lady Lou’s favorite activity. When she’s excited, she hops around and runs, demonstrating her boundless puppy energy.

Lady Lou’s mom discovered the charming pup through pictures shared by a co-worker. The moment she laid eyes on Lady Lou, she knew that the puppy belonged in their home. 

In the culinary department, Lady Lou has a soft spot for pizza crusts, which she happily indulges in as a delightful treat. But don’t be fooled, she’s not a picky eater by any means. She’s quite content with her regular puppy food but has a penchant for just about anything she can get her paws on.
