It's with much heart ache and many many tears that I write to
inform you that our sweet girl passed away on May 24th, 2011-
in April she was diagnosed with lymphoma. Lou was a very
important part of our family, and her death has been difficult.
In
her short life, she had brought so much love and happiness to
everyone she came in contact with. She could always put a smile
on your face no matter what was going on- when you were upset
she would push her face into your chest or lay it in your lap or
light up the room with the way she smiled (her teeth would
chatter with excitement) to see you.
There are so many things we already miss of our sweet girl. Our
Lou Lou Von Lily of the Valley is a one of a kind and will
forever be missed.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to love and care for one
of your precious pups.

Hi Fredericka and
Lucy,
Our Lou is so sweet, loving and continues to bring lots of
joy into our lives.
March 2010 she was diagnosed with a ruptured disc that
required back surgery to fix it. Part of her rehabilitation
was Hydrotherapy every week- I think that contributed alot
to her surgery being a success, Lou was such a great
patient --her temperament is beyond words. From the
surgeons, technicians, staff and the therapists she aloud
them to do whatever they needed without any problems. With
all that this girl has been through you would think she
would get cranky towards any humans approaching her --not
the case Lou loves them all and thinks she's the mayor when
she visits her orthopedic surgeon and vets office--has to
say "hi" to everyone...
She celebrated her 5th birthday this past October.
Currently weighs 165 (had to have her lose a few pounds to
keep the additional weight off her knees).
Attached are some pictures for your website --as you can see
in the one picture she still thinks she's a lap dog--
regardless of size she is our baby.
I've said it many of times before, we love our sweet girl
and can't thank you enough for her.
Take care
Cynthia & Patrick

Hi Fredericka and Lucy -
Lou is the center of our world and is one of the most
beautiful, loving, gentlest dog I've ever known. She loves
being with us so much that she can't relax when we are in
separate areas of the house or yard --If I'm cleaning the
living room and Patrick is in the garage she will come spend
some time with me and then get up and go find Patrick to spend
time with and will continue doing the back and forth until the
both of us her in the same room and she can finally lay down
and relax... Although, nothing compares too when my nephew
visits then all of her attention is on him and it's the
sweetest relationship they have.
I've attached a few photos for you to add to your
website... Lou celebrated her 4th birthday back in October.
She currently weighs 172 lbs and stands about 33- 34 inches
tall.
Thank you a million times over for our sweet sweet girl!!!
Have a happy and safe New Year!
Cynthia & Patrick

Hi
Fredericka,
Lou recently celebrated her 3rd birthday and stands at about 32
inches tall and weighs about 163lbs. Attached are a few pictures
taken this year of our sweet girl...
As you know she has had a tough year with all of her surgeries due
to a bilateral acl tear. Well, I'm happy to report that she is
doing GREAT. Her recovery / rehab is coming along better than ever.
Her regular vet, the surgeon and all of the techs have commented on
what a terrific dog she is. They say that her temperament is beyond
fantastic. Whatever they need to do to her she allowed them to do it
without any problems.
I am extremely proud to report that Lou has passed the AKC Canine
Good Citizenship Test and she is also a Certified Therapy Dog! We
can start our visits when she is totally recovered.. which I can't
wait for!
She is such an attention getter where ever we go! I usually take
Lou to Petsmart or Petco with me for her treats and a 20 minute
visit will easily turn into at least an hour or longer because of
someone stopping me to ask about her. Everyone that we run into
always comment about how well behaved, friendly, beautiful or sweet
that she is..
These dogs have such unconditional love for their humans.. I can
leave the house for 10 minutes to come back to find her so happy to
see me like she hadn't seen me for hours.. When she is excited to
see you not only does her tail wag but her entire body shakes plus
she smiles and when she smiles her teeth chatter and all of this is
so endearing.
Thank you for such a great companion...
Cynthia & Patrick

Hi Fredericka,
I am so excited to report this one to you.. I took Lou in a
couple weeks ago for x-rays (she's fine) and as the vet was looking
them over she reported to me that Lou has the best hips
she's ever seen in a giant breed before.
We can't thank you enough for such a loving companion, she is doing
so well. She loves all the attention that she gets from everyone in
our family and the people that we see on the street. It's amazing
how she has built this bond with my nephew who is 10 years old.
When he stays with us for the weekend she is always around him and
when he goes home she mopes around for the rest of the afternoon.
She's now 20 months old and weighs about 150 lbs and stands 31
inches tall. As you can see in the attached photos she is getting
to be a big girl.
In case you put this on your website I wanted to include some
pictures that shows how she has been growing. Thanks for such a
great dog we couldn't imagine our lives without her.
Hope all is well and thanks again!!
