I have always dreaded the day I would do this post, because it would mean he was gone. Louie's pain was just too much and we painfully decided it was time to help him. Louie left us on Friday, and it was the hardest day of our entire lives. He went peacefully in my arms as I whispered to him how much we loved him. Life will not be the same without him, I know we will get better and our days will get brighter, but he will always have a part of our hearts. I was going to list all the wonderful things about him on this post, but first of all that would take forever and those that read this already know how wonderful he was. :)
Louie had been by my side since he was 8 weeks old and went through all of my ups and downs with me. He was lucky enough to meet Dan when I did, and Dan loved him just as much as I did even though he only knew him for 4 years. Through my ups and downs Louie also had his, his torn ACL, surgery to fix it only to re-injure it a year and a half later. I am just so thankful we were with him through it all and that he held on long enough to meet Lillie.
These past 3 days have been horrible, every little thing reminds us both of him, but we have to keep telling ourselves, he isn't in any pain anymore and is in a better place. And now Lillie has the best angel ever looking over her. We love you so much Louie and always will. xoxo

oh, Amanda.. this made me cry.. I hope your heart heals soon. So glad you have those precious pictures of him with Lillie.
Made me cry too, both yours and Melissa's posts. I never met him but he seems like he was a great dog. Cherish all those memories...my thoughts are with you at this tough time. I'm going to go hug my big galoot now.
