The Prince who saved me

Last year, I had to make one of the hardest and most painful decisions every in my life. My luv bug was very sick and I knew that he was in pain. After kissing him good bye, I told myself I could never love again and he would simply be my one and only baby. Months went by and every day was a struggle. I didn't know how to live anymore. I missed my baby. Then one day as I was looking on a website of a local shelter, I saw a picture of this very terrified, 10-month-old miniature poodle mix. His eyes is what got to me. He was so scared. But after seeing his picture, I knew I had to rescue him. The next day, I went to the local shelter and found out that he was rescued from an Amish breeding farm and that his buddy who was with him was already adopted and he was alone. I sat with him while holding onto him saying that everything would be okay. One year later, Prince Louis is doing wonderful! We celebrated his homecoming by having a birthday party since we will never know when his actual birthday really is. He loves to bark at his Daddy to tell him he is ready for his walk, he adores his big brother who is a Standard Poodle named Sir Leonard, and he is definitely a morning dog who enjoys when his Daddy and brother play with him. Louis has filled my heart again with love. Thanks to my luv bug!
