 Louie
is a long-haired chihuahua, around 3 to 5 years old. A lady was driving
on a nearby road in Glenwood, and Louie ran under her car. She was able
to stop without injuring him, but he wouldn't come out from under the
car. He growled and snapped, and finally a noose had to be used to coax
him into a carrier.
It turned out Louie had a microchip, and Florence called his owner. The
owner lived across town but was away on vacation, and the pet-sitter
hadn't told him yet that the dog had escaped. He said that Louie had
escaped before. The owner didn't seem to want him back and eventually
stopped returning Florence's calls, so Louie became a Journey's End
resident.
When Louie arrived, he was very nervous, barking constantly and growling at
anyone who approached. Florence put him in the livingroom, so he
would hopefully calm down in the relative peace and quiet. (This is the
one room of the house that Florence tries to maintain as a people-only
zone, but it never seems to stay that way.) She added
Troubles to keep him company. They quickly
became best friends, and they play constantly.
Louie is much calmer and quieter now, but he still has plenty of energy.
