So we have been looking for a small dog that would be not too much like Jane. Believe it or not the not-like-Jane thing was my idea; I did not want to get a dog that was something like her & then be unhappy with the poor girl because she was not actually Jane. A was leaning towards a more dachshund-y dog, the look, the busyness, the whole dachshund shtick.
Meet Lola (FKA Tasha which was Rocky & Bullwinkle et al to me but sounds like a stripper trying to seem exotic to A, funny how those things work). She was a year old in March, & is settling in so far, but she just arrived yesterday afternoon so things are still up in the air. She came from a rescue about 1.5 hours drive from here & had a long drive home. On that drive we had a short conversation about what to call her & we thought we could live with Tasha. & then the Kinks came on the radio & at the time we both said "what about..?"
So now we have a Lilly (short for Lilliputian) & Lola. Oh well. On the upside, we keep singing to her, which she actually seems to like.
She is adorable.
ReplyDeleteHer name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
I think singing to her is really comforting. How lucky she is that a few fun songs were written about her. She's a cutie.
