As some of you know my dog Louie is 14 1/2 and very limited in his mobility due to severe arthritis. Even so, he enjoys short walks and is always looking for other dogs to meet and greet. A few of my neighbours have young, large, bouncy dogs and while Louie is not a small dog, they could knock him off his feet with nothing more than a nudge.
Every time we meet up with these people, they get their dogs under control and either wait for us to reach them or cross over to meet us and sit their dogs so that Louie can have a sniff and say hello and the dogs are always gentle and patient. It's the highight of his day and I am so grateful for them and their lovely dogs. So thank you Pogo (standard poodle), Hank (yellow Lab), Buddy (Old English Sheep Dog) and Parker (Shiloh Sheppard) for making Louie a happy dog.
