« back to pet storiesLouie, now 4 months old, lives with three cats and two humans in south St. Petersburg. He is healthy and growing fast, closing in on 30 pounds -- all ears one week, all legs and paws the next. He is enthusiastic and happy, excited to meet other dogs, and expects every passer-by to stop to tell him how cute he is, which they usually do. The cats have had varying levels of success in setting boundaries with him and the humans are still working on the alpha-beta thing, also with varying degrees of success.
