Our landlords had tenants who did not want their puppy, no time for her they said. We later found out the little girl was tied up 12-18 hrs a day while they were at work and church. All we knew is that she was a beagle and needed a home. At the time we had our Marissa, 6 yr old Havanese also a rescue, and Annabelle our 13 year old beagle. Now they were going to get a new sister who was 5 months old. I called her Lola without seeing that little face... What ever Lola wants Lola gets. We were moving from the upstairs apartment to the downstairs one, so our landlords kept her with them until the move was completed.
In Nov. 2006 Little Lola officially joined our family and brought not only Joy to Jack and I, but Joy and lots of playtime to her two sisters. With sadness, I say our Beautiful Marissa passed away 12/08 from a bleeding disorder and then our Beautiful Annabbelle, who survived cancer passed away from old age 14 1/2 on 04/09. Our family is now just us 3 and without Lola I don't think we could have survived. We know she misses her sisters as we do. But her spark and the gentle love she gives is such a blessing.
