I was born on June 28, 2016, but I don't remember my previous family. December 27, 2016 the kind people of Florida Poodle Rescue heard of me and helped me get a new start! My new life began December 31, 2016, I spent a few days at de dogtors clinic prior to dat day, they checked me all out and gave me those doggie shots and lotions and potions and then removed a couple of wee bit body parts, no fu
n in my book! So I lazily stayed there until dis woman and her friend came on de last day of de year. They said she is my foster momma, Huh,what is dat? I looked at her and growled and walked backwards hiding behind the vet tech. Well, she loaded me in this big box with wheels and a motor humans call a van and said we are going home, what? You will have fun and friends to play with. It was kinda comfy in dere, so I laid down and slept but I don't know if I can trust dem peoples. I was dreaming of fun, freedom and friends, I never had friends.. After a long drive we got to this big place in the woods, I've been a city boy so dis was new, lots of good smells. We go through the gate of this farm and she made me get out and sniff everything, then dis man came out and I growled at him and hid behind foster momma. He liked me right away, I was not so sure bout him...
Suddenly a big black poodle came to me, yeah, he looked just like me, Zeus is his name, then Daisy another poodle and Hunter, another one, wow, just like me but different colors. I want to run and play and chase, but I can't I am attached to a leash thing, for my own good they say and I have to be calm to recover. NO way, I jumped and bounced and boxed and barked and tried to get loose, the other poodles were looking at me weird, like what is wrong wiff him? The next day, people came to visit and I growled at them, too. Momma kept me on the leash and I kept boxing and leaping to get loose. I was leashed for 9 days!!! My foster parents said I was very challenging the first 2 weeks, I "boxed", I leaped, I was not obedient nor had any structure at all, so at night I had to go in the crate and the first few days during the daytime, too, for my own safety dey said, really, I tink dis is prison? Well, I was not toilet trained, I was biting and nipping and even put holes in my fosters shirt, and chewed a good size hole into a very expensive leather chair. Momma had little sleep and tried everything she could to settle down my fuzzy butt, I look like an angel she said, but was not! You know what happened day 9, she took me outside and off the leash, I loved it, the yard is as big as a country, at least 5 acres, I was free, free, free!!!! I ran and sniffed and finally she let the big spoos out to play with me, it was scary for a moment they are so big, but then we had lots of fun and they teach me a lot, especially big bro Zeus, I love him. So momma finally stopped having headaches with me, but I had some accidents in the house now, uh oh! You know what...I gave her and PawPaw so much grief the first 2 weeks and they never complained, never punished me, never yelled and always re-directed me so I learn not to be in trouble, they really loves me. Mom started getting leaky eyes a lot thinking that I gets adopted and leave her, she had a lot on her mind, so I decided to be a good boy, I stopped nipping, tearing things up, I potty outside, I don't use the jail anymore, I play nice with the poodles, most of the time anyway, he he! Things really turned around. One day, 3 weeks after I arrived at de farm, actually called Spoo Country...they asked if I want to stay here....
WOW, I tink I went to heaven when I heard them ask me dat!!!! YES YES YES, I will have a furever happy family and brothers and a sister FUREVER!!! I gots adopted on January 26, 2017 and am so happy now. I play all day, I stick to my momma like glue, even want to take showers wiff her, I love PawPaw and take naps wiff him. I am learning lots of things and hear I will go to a place called "school" soon. I don't growl much at strangers anymore and am sweet when we go into town or to de vet, but I am a little shy still outside Spoo Country. I am allowed to sleep anywhere in the house, except where Daisy sleeps, she gets her tutu ruffled if I get close to her bed!! Here I am happy boy Louie! I hope you will have fun with me!! You can keep track of my journey if you want and tell me about your pets, I love to see photos too, we can all have a virtual adventure together, or tell me stories, I would love that! Love, your Little Louie Green! The rescue pup!
