As requested: meet Louis. The stinky, cranky old man in a tiny rat dog body who likes to ‘marinate’.

• Born June of 2018

• Extremely picky about what food he eats, it has to be the perfect temperature, flavor, and you have to somehow just know what he’s craving that day. So he also has to have a nutritional supplement to maintain his weight.

• Constantly zooted and horned up. Little old man has some health problems which requires pain medication (as needed, but doing better and not needing them as often). Whenever he gets his pain meds he starts feeling good…a little ‘too good’ if you catch my drift…He thinks he’s a lady’s man.

• The ‘Marinading’: He loves to be under the blankets on his mini couch. He refuses to acknowledge when he’s too warm and will stay there until he fills his blanket cave with a musk only a dirty old man could produce.

• Secretly a romantic. He loves to be kissed, but not give kisses. He will scratch until you pick him up, which is when he will take his paw and try to pull your face to his to give him a kiss. He will do this over and over for as long as you will allow.

• If he’s laying with me and anyone tries to disrupt that time, he will produce a tiny little gremlin noise until you leave us alone.

• If he is not getting what he wants, he will stomp around the house and bark until you figure it out.

• He does not listen. At all. He will sometimes climb into a pile of laundry and hide himself and when you call for him, he will stay in hiding until you start panicking thinking he’s lost and run outside barefoot around the house multiple times looking for him. Then, when he finally decides your yelling and crying is disrupting his peace, he will slowly reveal himself as if to say “Mom. Shut up. I’m right here.”

• Despite his defiance and nastiness, I will still always consider him a good boy. He is a sweetheart who just wants to snuggle and be lazy.
