The One-Eyed Wonder

Internet, meet Lola:


This is the first picture of Lola that I ever saw.  It's from her Petfinder listing by the wonderful people at Lone Star Shih Tzu and Lhasa Apso Rescue.  The quizzical head-tilt, the muddy feet from playing around outside, the adorableness of having only one eye -- how could I resist?  And then, the little blurb describing her said she plays well with other dogs, loves car rides, and loves sleeping in laps!

Off I went to Houston, confident that -- as long as she didn't instantly hate me -- I'd be coming back to Austin with a dog.

Here is me with a very fluffy Lola at the doggie day care she was living at:



Here is what Lola looked like for 95% of the three-hour car ride home:



And here is what Lola looked like for the other 5% of the car ride home:



Finally, here is what Lola looked like after she was groomed.  I knew there was a cute tiny dog underneath all that fluff!



That last one is an action shot.  You can't really tell, but Lola has a Teeny Greenie in her mouth.  She is about to jump off the bed and hide underneath while she eats it.  She is very protective of her treats.
