Louie!

Pain Free - Louie
Jul 96 - Apr 2010

Louie has been a part of our lives since Spring of 1997. We adopted him from a rescue program after he was relocated from Tennesee.  He was a very rambunctous youngster.  But after a minor threat of returning him the the program, he knew he better straighten up. And he did. He was a joy to have around. He was a real socializer - loved everyone. Greeted everyone like they were his best friends. And they were. He was a well traveled dog. He loved to ride in any vehicles. He would even get into strangers cars. If there was an open door, he was in.  His best buddy was K.C. - Colleen's dog.  She will surely miss him too.  In the past couple years his knees started giving him troubles keeping him from running freely like he was used to.  His heart started to give him troubles too.  Even the UPS trucks passing by couldn't give him the enjoyment they used to.  He told me there were lots of his friends waiting at the Rainbow Bridge and he was going to be ok by joining them there.  Letting go of one of your trusted companions is so very hard. But knowing they are now PAIN free is a good feeling.  We will miss him.
Run on Louie....
