LuLu spent the day being the beloved companion she’s become since arriving in our home last October. While my wife Bonnie rests at home recovering from breast cancer she [LuLu] has been an angel sitting by Bonnie’s side wanting not a thing but to know she’s loved, warm and being fed on regular intervals.
She’s been barking quite a bit more recently and it’s all left us a bit puzzled. For the first week of LuLu’s stay here at our home along the Petaluma River she was extremely quiet. Then one of our favorite holidays ended the month of October and as LuLu heard the trick or treaters coming down the walk and up the stairs the mighty (not!) barking of our bundle of joy began. She’s since learned the delivery boys from Romeo’s Pizza and our favorite Chinese restaurants here in town. She barks, gets up and then follows us to the door. All the dogs I’ve had growing up it was usually the other way around – where the dog would get to the door first. As you’ll learn in future postings, LuLu is not quick, nor nimble, but she is our Lu-dog and we don’t know what we’d do without her.
Her birthday is quickly approaching … April 11th. Should you hear her barking on the day – you’ll at least know the reason why.
For now she’ll continue to treat us all.
As I continue to Adopt a Reputation you’ll understand how this came to be with our bundle of bully.
Enjoy the weekend.
