Guest KennelMom Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) He's appeared in many threads thanks to all of his human angels who helped him find his way to us (Mary) and helped him get to us (Meredith and Judy) But I figured he deserved his very own intro thread... We have decided to rename him Lucky Louie, which has a couple special meanings to us. First, Harmony's primary nickname was Lucky Charms and I can't help but feel she helped send him here...as sick as she was...she helped him find us. Second, stand up comedy is one of our favorite things and it's sort of an homage to one of our favorites Loius CK. Third...he is pretty lucky that all the stars aligned juuuuuuuuuust right for him to find a Forever Home instead of...well, the very unlucky alternative he was facing. Fourth...Loiue should be an easy transition to Lucas (though I'm sure he will still be Lucas from time to time too). He's settled in beauitfully! Reading through his medical records I chuckled at the entry about year ago that said: Ate entire pan of brownies. Induced vomiting. He is definitely a food hound! I was also dismayed to see that they had him donate a 450 ml of blood the day before he left for home One last life-saving gift, I suppose. Anyhoo...he's been sleeping behind my office chair most of the day...is getting along great with everyone. No accidents in the house. This dog is darn near perfect as far as I can tell. His sweet, gentle, playful personality is coming out...he's the kind of dog that makes people fall in love with greyhounds....He jumped up on the bed this morning and spooned with Ken Are we there yet??? No? OK, I'll play wiff my toy then At the rest area with Prajna and Stella...almost home! Just a picture to swoon over his handsomeness It was dark when we got home, so we did pack intros in the kennel...butt sniffs all around! It didn't take long for him to find a comfy spot on the sofa next to the fuzziest greyhound he's ever seen Primo gives him a nose wiggle The two new kids on the block, Loiue and Primo...they are becoming good friends My old gal Haley went NUTS for Louie last night. I think she has a crush on him...she was prancing around him and play bowing. For anyone who knows Haley, that is unheard of.

Guest KennelMom Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 OMG...the funniest thing just happened. Louie was lingering out in the yard and when he realized all the dogs had gone in and I was calling him, he bolted from the back of the property up to the house. When he got up here he lept up the entire set of stairs (4 or 5) to the back door, ran to the end of the deck, turned around ran back down and jumped over the steps going down, ran back out to the yard and did some SERIOUS zoomies. I ran out to the yard and started cheering him on as he did fly-bys. I don't think he's opened up and run like that for a while! He was a greyhound on a running mission! Ken only got a little bit of it on video before he tuckered out. He was so proud of himself when he stopped, with his tail wagging. I think he's gonna like it here!

TheFullHouse Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 OMG I just found this thread! I'm thrilled he's doing so well, but I didn't have a doubt in my mind that he wouldn't! I knew once he got home and found his big yard you were in for some serious zoomies, after all, he's slept for two or three days now! I love his new name btw. Give him a big kiss from me. I miss the guy and he was only with me one day!

Guest PhillyPups Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 (edited) Oh Heather, I have been looking for this all day. Welcome home Lucky Louie He is such a handsome happy go lucky boy. I feel that Harmony had a big paw in this, and with him being a blood donor. Thanhks for the pic with Wuzho in it too, we need MORE of Wuzho. Wishing you all years of happiness, looks like Lucky Louie (and he sure is lucky to be with you all) is quite at home and lovin it. Have a feeling he may become a Mama's boy. eta: Aren't Mike, Judy & Kevin the best? And I hear you were loving on my boyfriend, Saint!!
