Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello People,
My name is Likeable Louie and I am a handsome Bichon of six who is attentive, affectionate and mellow. I’m the kind of guy who loves people and wants to be some special person’s one and only (pup that is). And people love me back ‘cause I’m a great companion.
Like to go on walks or rides in the car? Then I’m your guy! I actually LOVE car rides. I think of them as great adventures, and that includes trips to the coffee shop. I’m well behaved but I can also anticipate when you are getting ready to go – and faster than you can say lickety split, I’m ready to go with you. (Mom says that shows how smart I am.)
Did I mention that I’m housebroken? Yessiree, I am indeed! I also know my name and commands like ‘sit’ and ‘stay.’ Next on my list of commands to master is ‘come’. (Mom and I are working on that.)
When I first became a furkid I was kind of sickly and didn’t eat very well. I’ve now worked through that and have become quite a ‘foody.’ (That’s because Mom makes really good food for me to eat.) She even gives me these things called organic vegetables. Well I can tell you that they are yummy in the tummy, and that’s for sure! Speaking of food, I LOVE ice cream! As hot as it has been lately, a guy has to cool off, right? Nothing cools me off faster than ice cream!
The reason my Aunties say I need to be an “only” pup is that I love to go everywhere you go – and when you aren’t in the car I can be an amazing couch potato. And when you aren’t on the couch I can hang with you in the garden or wherever you are. And if you like to cook Mom says I’m the best ‘taste tester’ she’s ever met. All I need is to belong to someone and be their bestest and only pup. Companionship is what I crave – but I’m ok by myself when I need to be. Just let me go into my crate and I’ll rest quietly while I wait for you to return.
Another reason I need to be an “only” pup is that while I love my people deeply , I can’t say the same for other dogs. I feel like I have to protect my Mom from other Furkids. Now I’m working hard on this, but I would do best with someone who can make me feel safe and secure and set up my boundaries (so I don’t have to!) . She calls it an experienced home, I say it’s someone who can keep up my training so I can relax and continue to be the best pup I can be.
So if you are looking for a mellow, affectionate and healthy fellow, want a buddy to go where you go and relax where you relax, well look no further. I’m here and I’m ready to meet you.
Your friend-in-waiting,
Lovable, Likeable and Not-too-Lively Louie
