Louie is home

Louie came home last night. He has stitches which will be taken out in two weeks. In the meantime, the hospital gave us strict instructions to keep him calm. For those of you who know Louie, you know how impossible that is; keeping him from jumping on sofas, on beds, going up and down stairs, playing with his ball and barking at passing dogs. Our solution has been to put a gate in front of one sofa, and put Patrick's bulky toys on another. Let's see how long that works!
In any case, Louie is glad to be home and we are all very happy to have him back. Gatsby seems reassured that things are back to normal (even if he got a lot of sleep with Louie away), and Patrick keeps smiling when he sees Louie.
