Happy Birthday Baby!

Happy Birthday to our super sweet boy, Louie Lou. We are so grateful that you are part of our family and we cherish everyday with you.

In honor of Louie's 3rd Birthday, Katie and Louie got to split a can of tuna. They politely waited during the birthday song before digging in.

Our little Louie, all grown up

Therapy Dog Milestone

Louie just received an award from Therapy Dogs International for completing 50 therapy visits.

Way to go Louie! We are so proud of you!

Friends + Newfs = FUN!

Three wonderful friends from Memphis came to stay with us this weekend. We all had a blast together going for long walks and playing games. Katie and Louie were charmed by our guests and ran up to their bedroom first thing this morning to give them time-to-wake-up kisses.

"C" was a big help to me by walking Katie while I walked Louie yesterday at the Big Dam Bridge. C and Katie quickly became the best of friends. Today when we went for a walk in the woods I let Katie off her leash. C and Katie stayed close together the whole time. Once when Katie went the wrong way C called her and she ran as fast as she could to his side. Katie responded so well to him and C was extremely attentive and observant of her.

I love this picture of "J" and Louie...two super cuties. Louie got a little rambunctious when he first met J for a few seconds until I firmly told him that even though she likes to bounce around she is not a puppy to wrestle with. After that reminder Louie was a perfect gentleman for the rest of their visit.

We were so sad for our friends to leave, but very grateful we got to spend this wonderful time with them.

Fun Before the Storm

Katie, Louie, Gary and I went on a walk in the woods the day before we received several inches of snow. Stay tuned for scenes from our snowy walk this morning.

We have started letting Louie off leash when we are in areas where there are no other dogs around. He is doing a great job of staying close to his pack. It's nice to be able to use all of that obedience training in the real world.
