Lola
is a special little girl to me because she changed my life. When I
adopted her I was at a lonely point in my life having just turned 36 years
old and had never been married and had no children. One day I decided to
look for a puppy to adopt and then I saw her. I will never forget that it
was a Tuesday morning, and she was sent to me that same week on Friday.
I look back at all Lola has been through thus far in life. I adopted Lola
from a rescue place out of Arkansas, which I later realized may have sent
Lola directly from a puppy mill. Within the first six days of having her,
we were at the vet almost every day because she was so ill. They told me
that if they didn't keep her for a few days she just wouldn't make it.
Lola was only two pounds when she arrived back in June. She had worms, a
severe case of a stomach parasite and a respiratory infection. It took
almost two months before she was finally over all the hurdles and I have
to say that my life has been truly blessed with my precious little girl.
Lola is the love of our lives! She is such a loving soul... she loves
people and loves other dogs too. She has about 50 toys and believe it or
not finds time to play with all of them! She's also a jumper. I had to buy
two baby gates in order to confine her to our kitchen because she was
leaping over just the one. LOL My life has changed so much after adopting
Lola and I thank God every day for blessing me with my little girl.
My favorite times with Lola is in the evening when she settles down for
the night and curls up in that little ball on my lap... when she looks at me
with those big, beautiful angelic eyes. That feeling of unconditional love
when she looks at me is just indescribable. I think that if she could
speak to me she would say, "Mami I love you and thank you for saving me."
I tell her that every single day!
