I moved from Texas to Kentucky in April 2010 when I was just six-weeks-old. The initial plane ride was horrific-I was nervous and my only companion in the animal storage area was an annoying puppy who was unable to communicate in any “true” language. At that time, I weighed only 2 pounds and my breeder unknowingly sent me to my new adoptive home with mange (luckily for me that wasn’t a deal breaker with my new family despite the fact I passed the vicious parasites on to them as well). My new family christened me “Lola”, a name I rather like even if it does bring to mind dainty and delicate ideals and I’ve since grown to become anything but. My foster siblings are a bit of a motley crew-first there’s Izzie, a yorkie-poo, who is affectionate, high strung, and encompasses highly jealous characteristics. Izzie and I sometimes cuddle together but she is quick to start nipping at me should I receive more attention than she. Initially I thought I was a dog (after all, Izzie and I share the same coloring, are close to the same height, and I can produce a rather convincing bark). Alas, I quickly realized that I was not a dog as I cannot jump high nor can I climb down stairs (for I am cursed with short appendages). Then there are the two…well, I’m not really sure what they are (you can look at the pictures on my adoptive mom’s website and if you can accurately identify what species they are I’d be most obliged if you could clue me in as well). The two aliens (at least that’s how I refer to them) are named Max and Phoenix. Phoenix can best be described as large, lazy, and well….slow is the nicest way I know how to phrase it. For the most part Phoenix leaves me alone and sleeps all day (and night if you want to know the truth about it). Max is small, hairless, and pink. Max is a real freak and likes to tease me (we often take turns chasing each other around the downstairs portion of our house). Initially I was really weary of Max as he wanted to eat me (fat chance of that now seeing as how I outweigh him by a good ten pounds). My mommy is my favorite- she knows exactly how I like for my belly to be scratched and she gives me manicures/ pedicures (most recently she painted on a lovely mint chocolate chip green nail polish which I must say really brings out my eyes). Well I really must take my mid-day nap-till next time-kisses!
Sincerely Yours,
Lola ^_^
