                                             For the next couple of weeks I went to the shelter on
                                             the Sunday and fed her and took her for walks, each
                                             time selfishly hoping that she hadn’t been adopted that
                                             week. After thinking long and hard, I finally decided to
                                             fill out that application form and see if Monika thought
                                             that I would be suitable to adopt Lola myself.  I was
                                             happy to answer all of the thorough questions that I
                                             was asked, and was thrilled when Monika said she’d be
                                             happy for me to take Lola home to see how she got on
                                             with my cats. Well the rest is history! They rubbed
                                             noses on  that first meeting, and now cuddle and even
                                             wrestle together – true best friends.

                                             That was 4 ½ years ago, and now Lola’s life is filled
                                             with walks, friends, treats, and  adventure.  We

                                             haven’t missed a day’s walk in all that time, rain or
                                             shine we are out enjoying the fresh air at the park or
                                             the beach and meeting up with Lola’s friends. She has
      LOVING IS                              come on lots of holidays and weekends away and
                                             loves exploring new places with me. My friends are
                                             used to dinner  or drinks out having to be somewhere
                                             dog friendly and rarely see me without my bestie by my
      EASY                BY TOVAH LEVITAS   side! Luckily most of them are as dog crazy as me so
                                             wouldn’t expect anything else!
      “
            I’d been volunteering at DoggieRescue for a few
       months, doing the feeding on a Sunday morning,
       and walking dogs, when one morning I met the
       little monkey who would change my life.    ”

     I wasn’t looking for a dog of my own, I was perfectly
     happy with the company of my cats at home, and
     always felt like I bonded more naturally with bigger
     dogs, which I knew I  wasn’t able to have in my current
     situation, so the instant connection I felt with Lola took
      me completely by surprise. The very first time I saw her,
      I was feeding the large enclosure of small dogs, most
     of them making lots of noise and eager to have their
     breakfast, and I very nearly missed the quiet little face
     waiting patiently behind a kennel….

     Now I’m sure that anyone who knows Lola now, will find
     this hard to believe, as she’s affectionately known as my
      little piglet;  but to get her to eat anything I had to hand
     feed her, and all that she was interested in doing was
     climbing onto my lap and snuggling her soft nose into
     my neck.  When I looked into her beautiful eyes, I felt
     like I already knew her. I went home that day and     “ You wanna share my popcorn Mama?
      could not stop thinking about her…..
                                                  Bridget Jones is on the telly!”
