Lola's Barkings

My Mommy Misses Me.

Here is a message from my mommy...

My family and I (my husband, my two kids and myself) recently became homeless. Lola was a member of our family and it was the hardest decision of our lives to surrender her to the Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley, MN. We just had such a difficult time taking care of ourselves that we could not give her the love or attention she deserves. Right now we live in a house with 8 people (4 kids, 4 adults) and another dog that tormented Lola. I just couldn't take it anymore, and I tried to get her into a temporary home or rescue, to no avail.

When I got her she had obviously had a hard life. I always promised that I would be her forever mommy and take care of her. She trusted me, we loved each other, and when I was on bedrest during my last pregnancy she stayed in bed with me and cuddled me constantly. When our new baby came home, she would alert us when he cried, and protected him when someone she didn't know would try to come near his car seat.

I miss her so much. I don't have a little girl, but she was mine. She had so much soul in her big golden eyes, she was so gentle and protective and kind. I will never love another animal as much as I love her, and the bond we had will never be duplicated. I am trying very hard to find her - I can't take her back because I am working on getting the family into transitional housing, and I wouldn't want to get her back just to have to give her up again. But I really, really hope that I can find her, adopted by someone who treats her well and loves her, and that maybe I can see her and hug her and play with her for a while. Just logging into the account and seeing pictures of her ripped my heart out. If you have any information PLEASE contact me by email at motleykitten@yahoo.com. She means the world to me.

I'm a Big Sis... AGAIN!

If you're wondering who the gorgeous baby is in my profile picture, THAT'S ME! Hee hee. The baby I am snugglin' with is pretty OK too. He is my new human brother and his name is Lars. He is two months old now and I can't decide who I wanna snuggle more- him or our other brother Felix!
I am very protective of both my brothers and when I first heard Lars cry, I immediately went and got Mommy and started whimpering to let her know he needed help. We love to snuggle on the couch together and fight for Mommy and Daddy's attention.
On a bad note, I have allergies real bad and I have been itching a lot. My belly is really red and I bite my legs a lot. Mommy has spraying stuff on me to stop the itching and it seems to be working. I just want my fur back! Jeez. It aint easy bein' beautiful.

Lucky Dog.

Mommy accidentally left the door open and I pushed through the screen door and got out. I ran down the block and started a fight with a big boy dog named Diego. Daddy found me after Diego's mom broke up the fight and put me on a leash and gave me some treats. Daddy talked to Diego's mom and said I started the fight, but Diego held his ground and bit me real hard on the ear. Diego's mom wasn't mad, but Daddy sure was.
When I got home, Mommy cried. She said I could have ended up in an incinerator, whatever that means. She hugged me really tight and told Daddy she wanted better door latches, and that I need to be socialized right away.
Mommy and Daddy didn't think I was so threatened by other dogs. I get really mad when other dogs come near my yard, or when I am walking with Daddy on my leash, but Daddy thought that it was just because I was being territorial or felt helpless being on my leash. But now they know better. Daddy says that bullying other dogs is NOT OK, and that if Diego were a smaller dog I could have hurt him really badly. I feel bad, because I scared my parents- Daddy even said, "bad dog" to me.
Mommy is going to get in contact with my foster mom, Margaret, so that my foster brother Kermit (who I used to live with and got used to) and I can play together and I can get back into the groove of encountering other dogs. I hope it works- I don't want to make Mommy or Daddy upset again.
