Lola, the Dog of the Day
Name: Lola
Age: Five years old
Gender: Female Breed: Leonberger
Home: Jarrettsville, Maryland, USA
 
   Introducing Lola the Leonberger! She is a huge, lovable, sweet and beautiful girl. She loves snow and will stay out for hours. While other dogs beg to be let back in the moment their paws touch snow, Lola loves it! Last week we had a big snow storm and I couldn't find her. When I called for her, she poked her head up - what I thought was another snowbank was Lola!.

    Lola loves people and kids. She is very gentle around children and old people, like she knows they are fragile. We play a game where she hides behind a tree and I have to find her. If course you can see her because she is so big, but when I get close she takes off running to another tree. It is a hoot. She shops with me and will wait patiently outside the door and watch my every move.

    Her best friend is Shadow an English Shepherd and they play every morning, she's not very good at playing ball, but she will catch it then run away with it. She loves to sit out on the front yard for hours and watch the world go by. She will sit for any treat.

    She is my third Leonberger in thirteen years and they are all wonderful. Her sister died peacefully in her sleep last year at twelve years old. She is so smart and as good as she is beautiful. Her brother, Leo, unfortunately died of cancer. Her Border Collie brother, being a typical crazy Border, drives her crazy but she is always calm and patient with him. She has walked in several dog rescue walks. She loves to swim. We live near a big pond and she swims every morning and evening. Not even the geese are afraid of her. They all just swim around as if she's not there. We have a beaver in the pond which she will chase for hours and she can never quite figure out where he went when he goes under water then reappears at the other end!

    She lives with two other dogs and six cats and loves them all. She is a gentle giant and a real sweetheart, despite all her silly ways! She also is very patient with me when I have her pose for photos, which is great for me. We love her!
