We just lost our BT mix (Louie) of 12 l/2 years recently. We currently have a plus size Rat Terrier rescue and a Akita/Border Collie mix rescue. We are waiting on a home visit from the BT Rescue group. In 2007 I had a stoke and the only pet I could remember the name of was Louie. He was my husband's dog...the only other male in our household. I know we won't be able to replace Louie, but we sure want another BT.
