From Louie's (fka Homer) forever family...

Louie had awfully big shoes to fill to replace the hole in our hearts left by our beloved Black Lab/Golden mix Cowboy after he died of cancer. For such a small puppy, Homer, now known as Louie, quickly made our hearts grow even bigger than we knew possible. Louie soon grew much bigger himself, so much so that we often are asked if Louie is actually part Great Dane because of his oh-so-long legs, instead of the Golden Retriever/Black Lab mix that he is. Big, small, makes no difference, we love all of him!

Louie loves to travel and ride in the car. He doesn't care where he's going, just mention "car ride?" and he's off to the back of the car, waiting to be let in. We often take him on trips to our cabin in Montana where Louie enjoys meeting new people, dogs, and various farm animals, and loves taking long hikes in the mountains. Louie loves everyone he meets - kids, dogs, people, it's all good.

We are so grateful to RAGOM for bringing such a fun loving and sweet dog into our lives. Thanks so much to everyone along the way who worked to bring him to us, you did a great job with him and we are forever thankful!

Louie welcomes people to follow him on his twitter page, where you will find him promoting responsible dog ownership and rescue at http://twitter.com/GoodDogLouie !

Homer is becoming more and more his own little personality. Compared to Humphrey (his brother and current kennel mate) Homer is the quieter of the two. As you can see in the photos, Homer is the more subtle of the pups. A sweeter little puppy would be hard to find. Homer is all black with a heart of pure gold. Homer bounds across the yard in sheer delight. He loves to play with his brother and approaches other dogs on his own terms, if he likes what he sees, he sticks around and plays, if not, he quietly slips away, usually to a cozy spot under a chair for a quick nap, or to a person for a long hug.
