Louie was my first baby!  The moment I picked him up, he stole my heart.  Without him I feel like a piece of me is missing.  I loved him so much, but am so grateful for the time, lessons and love that Louie has given to me.  Louie showed me the true meaning of unconditional love.  There was never a time I felt alone with Louie. When I felt sad or simply needed a friend or a hug, Louie was always there.  He was so happy and loved life.  He loved to run around, swim in the pool and simply being around people especially his family.  He was my first baby, but two more have joined since and Louie protected them like they were his own. He let my daughter who is 2 1/2 pull his tail, ears or whatever she could could get her hands on. He would just sit there! He was the perfect pet and I will never forget him.  He was taking from us too early from cancer.  The doctors gave him a month to live, but within that month I spoiled Louie and gave him all of me.  I wished I could take his pain away.  That is the love I felt for him. I know he would do it for me.  He kept his spirits high until his last day.  He didn't want us to see him sad.  He was so strong and such an important part of our life.  No pet can ever replace our Louie.  He had this love and sensitivity about him that I worry I will never find again.  He never let me stay mad at him.  He always wanted to make up right after he did something wrong.  He had these eyes that were so sweet and innocent. He gave so much to all of us and asked for so little in return and for that I am so thankful for him.  I am thankful for the 4 1/2 years I had with Louie and know in my heart that I will see him again.  I know he is happy now and free from pain.  He loves to play and I imagine him playing with all the dogs in heaven and waiting for the day that he will see us all again.  

Louie- We love you so much! Thank you for coming into our lives and our hearts. We will never forget you and your memory will definitely live forever in our hearts and dreams. Rest in Peace my Baby!!
