LuLu, the Dog of the Day
Name: LuLu
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female Breed: Boston Terrier
Home: Seattle, Washington, USA
 
   LuLu is the light of our cubicle here in grey old Seattle.

    Our workmate, Bob, got LuLu as a gift for his wife Heidi who is an oncology nurse and deals with a lot of very sick people, grief, and stress on a daily basis. Bob hoped LuLu would provide Heidi with some distraction and relief from the pressures of her job...and boy, has she! Bob and Heidi are kind enough to share their pet with a lot of other people - Bob even brings LuLu to work sometimes to cheer up our work team. We can't thank him enough for bringing this sweet girl into our lives.

    LuLu is the funniest, most animated dog ever! She makes us laugh with her antics- she loves to dance on her hind legs like a black and white ballerina, play tug-of-war with pieces of rope, and rip stuffed animals to shreds in seconds. She has the funniest growl- impossible to take seriously because she is so cute. She also loves to sleep in your lap when you are trying to type, or near your feet on a blanket. No one in our office can keep up with her when she is running at top speed- it's amazing how fast those little legs can carry her! She's not the best walker on a leash, though- she has her own ideas of where she wants to go and how long it should take to get there. She loves to greet other dogs, and clearly does not realize how small she is compared to a lot of her trail walking friends.

    When LuLu arrives at our work, she likes to run around greeting all her favorite people. But first - a tour through the kitchen to Hoover for crumbs. Then on to her Auntie Kate's office - where there is always a treat waiting. When she is done visiting, we put up a baby gate at the entrance to our double cubicle. After that, her visitors come to her.
