Louise the Poodle

**Ivygirl** · 03-23-2013, 10:31 AM

Louise and I are so thrilled that she is the Dog of the Day. I wish that everyone could know Louise or have a Louise in their lives. When I adopted her, she came with the name Louise, and I wasn't certain if that was the name that I would keep. But from the moment that we began our lives together, I realized that Louise was perfect! She is amazingly sweet and just as amazingly mischievous. Thank you, Pet of the Day, for selecting Louise as Dog of the Day. We love this site and will continue to follow it. We believe it is important to promote pet rescue, and Louise is certainly an example of the happiness and success that exist when loving and compassionate people work so hard to help loving pets find their "fur-ever" homes.

Hi Louise! A very happy Dog of the Day to you, and to your dear Mommy "Ivygirl!"

So nice to hear from her today in "real time!" Her beautifully written, very touching tribute to her best girl already had me in heart melt mode. But after reading her posting here today I admit, a tear or two fell.
I can't express adequately how moved I was by your story, Louise, your rags to riches Cinderella tale, learning of the devotion you have for your Mom and she for you! It was a long journey home, for you and sister Thelma! But like all enchanted fairy tales, your stories couldn't have had happier endings...happier beginnings!

We can't thank your Mom enough for opening up her home and heart to such a deserving doggie, for her devotion to rescue! And more thanks still to you both, for your tireless dedication to promoting the priceless rewards of books and reading, grammar and literacy...AND animal companionship! You're both heroes in my book, and your story truly an inspiration to us all! I can't wait for updates from your Mom re: her new book, staring YOU!

And oh, won't your Grandpa, and all of the residents at the nursing home, be excited next time you visit, learning that you have been crowned Dog of the Day!

Thanks so much for brightening my day with your story and gorgeous photos, Louise! Enjoy your big day in the spotlight (even though you are ALREADY a star, hehe). I'm sure your Mom will be making this day an extra special one!
Lots of love and great big hugs and sloppy smooches to you, beautiful Louise!

P.S...What a fantastic blog you have, Louise! The way in which you and your Mom weave together the threads of animal love and love for literacy is amazing...just pulls you in! What talented ladies you are! (Love the Erica Jong quote! *sniff*)

Gorgeous lady Louise! You and your person have a very important mission, promoting language and literacy! How wonderful that you are helping to teach kids the pleasures of reading, and the importance of good writing abilities. But especially reading! You are a very stylish lady too -- I like your many looks, but I like the portrait of you and your person best

I can just imagine the smiles and happiness you give to children and older adults on your many visits! Happy Dog of the Day to you, beautiful Louise!
