Whilst Skye was still in my care I was contacted by a vets receptionist in our local area about a litter of Deerhound x puppies! They were 10 weeks old and had never seen daylight even when in the house the curtains were kept drawn! She asked if we could help out with the runt of the litter Louis! My mind was a whir I was already up to four dogs including Skye and my own three! Thankfully though I had been contacted by a lady around 10 minutes drive from me who was interested in fostering for a rescue and I gave her a call! She agreed to let Louis go and stay with her her dog Shadow and 16mnth old twins Liberty and Jordan!
Louis was described to us as runt and his owner had been calling him "reject" the vet nurse took him for us and myself and Pauline went to collect him!
The first second we laid eyes on him we both melted and were not far off close to tears he was the cutest, most brown eyed bundle of mischief either of us had ever seen! Petrified but still waggy and licky and very shy!
He went to stay with Pauline while I set about looking for a home! In those two weeks she had him boy did we see a change! He was beating Shadow up, marauding through Paulines house hanging off her and the twins clothes but was still gentle enough with them to not nip and hurt! He became a happy, confident little monster!
One of Greyhound Gaps members Angela saw him and had been considering taking on another dog for nigh on two years and was seriously tempted to offer Louis a home! She took her own dog Georgie off to the vets and saw her usual vet at the surgery Katie! Katie happened to say to Georgie" Oh Georgie your so lovely I could take you home!" Bad mistake!
To cut along story short Katie ended up contacting me regarding Louis and took him home with her to Surrey early Novemeber 2003! He is growing into a beautiful lad is loved to pieces and is doing really well! However the story didnt end there and Angela didnt resist her own temptation for long but I will let her tell you hers and Tylers Story herself!
