I thank you for giving louie some wonderful years with care and love. I have two standards, one is a male puppy and I was looking for some advise on containing some of his exuburance, but I think I will just love him and wait for him to grow up after reading your hearbreaking story of louie and I am sure there are many others like him. I also am so glad you are looking for another, I know you will find that special one to offer all your love and care to.
