Look who I met at Poodle Rescue

I dropped Beau off for his groom this morning, and Madeline asked, "Did you see his twin out there?" (The smaller rescue dogs are in a big enclosed area with a sliding glass door.) So one my way out, with Beau's piteous cries ringing in my ears (he's such a drama queen), I stopped to meet Louie. OMG, what a sweetie! Came right up to me, practically crawled in my lap, licked my nose, curled against my leg for pets, the whole nine yards! I want him sooo bad. He does look a lot like Beau, and at 6 months is the same age Beau was when we got him. Did I mention I want him?



"LOUIE is a 6 month old, purebred, AKC Miniature Poodle male.* He is housebroken and loves all people and other dogs.* He does not care for cats.* He would be great with children.* His owner had a job transfer where she could not take Louie.* He is a wonderful dog."

"...somehow you ended up in the same place as Louie... I think it's a sign you should get him..."
Sometimes things like this happen for a reason.
Louie is a little cutie! And he sounds like a sweetheart.
Your desciption of how Louie acted with you is exactly how Lily was when we met her, such a little love-bug. So did Beau meet Louie yet?

So did Beau meet Louie yet?
Not yet, and therein lies the rub. Beau is generally pretty shy around other dogs, and the last time my sister brought her corgi over to our house, we ended up with a rather noisy (and scary) confrontation. I just don't know how Beau is going to react to another dog in "his" house. Louie is a puppy, though, and if we're careful (and lucky) I have a feeling it might work out.

Madeline told me she has Louie's papers, and he passed the vet check with no problems.

If I think about this with my head, I come up with all kinds of reasons why a second dog makes no sense. My heart has other ideas.

Go bring that baby home!!! There is never a good time to get a puppy/new dog or a second one. Your heart will guide you... People thought I was absolutely bonkers when I decided to get a poodle puppy...but I knew in my heart it was the right time and thing to do. So in response to the naysayers I would say " he is my frankly I don't give a damn what you think dog". Best thing I have done was follow my heart. Whatever you decide it will be the right thing for you. And all will be respectful of your choice... As long as "we" get first dibs if you don't bring him home... :)

No pressure LEUllman, but the forum could use more minis! :)Lou is adorable, really irresistible I'd say. We'll keep watching to see; will he or won't he? Whatever you decide, it was a treat to see that sweet little mpoo pup and hear how friendly and happy he is. If you do come to call him your own, I know he'll readily become one of our favorites, just like Beau.

Chance meetings like that happen for a reason. :) Beau would love a poodle brother I am sure! Trev doesn't always "love" every dog he meets but he accepted Raven without a single growl or bark. They were playing within seconds of introduction. :) I say it's a good time...after all, what is better than a Christmas poodle?!

Just Do It! The fates are letting you know he needs you! Beau might have his nose out of joint for a minute but I think they'll get on just fine! I agree that poodles seem to recognize their own kind.....Molly ignores the Pom next door but is absolutely ecstatic when Pepe the mpoo comes out to play!

Can you do a trial? You can't tell a whole lot in a couple days because it takes a couple weeks for everyone to adjust (ie Spoiled Beau :)) , but you could get a sense of how two dogs would work out for you. There has to be a reason he was there right when you showed up. Usually two poodles get along well together. I know my two poodles love each other so much they lie curled up together and regularly clean each others ears and nibble gently on each other (so cute). They also keep each other entertained when I can't. Since the puppy is still young, Beau shouldn't feel threatened by him.

Dear Santa,

All I want for Christmas is a family and a home of my very own - and a big brother to love, play with and protect me.

Thank you.

Love, Louie

P.S. since I'm a poodle, you know I'm a good boy, but because I'm a puppy, I sometimes forget. I try really hard though. Thanks again!
