Snuggles During Movie Time
And her name is Lola. L-O-L-A Lola.
For all but the first fifteen weeks of my life I’ve been THE dog. Ya know? Then last September our house was invaded by this little furball. Ya know that B-word they use for female dogs? Well, ten seconds after meeting this one I could understand why. She is the Bossiest B**** I’ve ever met! At first, I didn’t even want to like her.
Her yap got on my nerves. She runs around like she’s on intravenous Red Bull. And the first thing she does every morning is get all of MY TOYS out of the toy box and scatter them around the house. I guess she wants to make sure that wherever she goes a toy is close by. I couldn’t stand that she was taking my toys. I couldn’t stand that she snapped at me. I couldn’t stand that she wanted All The Attention!
Then, when we took her to the vet, we found out from a broken tooth and other things that the people who had her before us weren’t very nice to her. She probably never had any toys at all. Or enough food. Or any cuddles and kindness.
It suddenly became very easy for me to see all of the good things about her. Her perkiness, her big smile and wagging tail every time she sees one of us, and knowing that like everybody else she loves to be hugged and cuddled.
The happiest day in my life was realizing that “different” is not synonymous with “bad.”
