oh hey dannyk

my dog louis.

we got louis when I was a sophomore in high-school.  Our other golden had passed away a few years before that after the old age of 14.  Louis was a rescue dog from an organization called Grrom http://www.grrom.com/  Its an organization that rescues Golden Retrievers and tries to find homes for them.  You have to look at multiple dogs before you can say “I want that one.”

We looked at dog after dog and finally went to meet Louis.  He was a three year old golden who had a big stocky head and a tail that reached the ground.   He also had the energy of a pack of wolves, fetching ball after ball after ball.  That was his thing, he loved to play fetch, and he loved his tennis ball.  Whenever he would great you he’d always bring it with him.  Louis was also a sissy in the fact that he hated thunderstorms and when those happened he thought he was a house cat and would jump into your lap.   He was always there for me though, weather it was hanging out at our cottage, watching me goto prom or homecoming or being there after i got dumped, Louis was my guy.

Three years ago we moved out of our smaller house and into our new house.  I like to think of these as Louie’s glory days, he finally had a huge yard to run around in and a big house to roam in.  I even got him a Louis Vuitton dog collar because after all its his name.   Though he’s gone and I miss him a lot I’m trying to remember all the fun that we had.  Great dog, great life, love him, miss him.
