Lola knows she is the Princess of Port Jefferson

Ha...ha...ha, I am not going to grace you with a photo of me this week. And I know you're all wondering why no photo. Well, aside from the fact that mommy didn't see any good photo opportunities with her camera, it's always best to leave the public wanting more. So I promise you next entry I will be back with at least on photo of me.

I'm sure you must be wondering what's new with Lola, puppy of Lakewood Ave. The one keeping the family on their toes. Well, as usual I had quite the busy week. And it also appears that my presence is in high demand. Mommy has dance class on Tuesday nights, and the lovely ladies who are in her class are itching for me to come down and visit them again. So this week, Aunt Ida is going to coerce grandmom in to taking me down to visit them. *Cocks head to side*, hey what can i say....I need to offer the ladies a break from their rigorous routines by prancing around in MY Tu-Tu.

This past Wednesday Grandmom, Aunt Ida and I went to visit mommy at work, and took her to Starbucks for some much needed java. I was able to meet my 'Godfather' Ian, who is very, very, very tall. That weird guy Fred, and see some of the other people who have to be locked in a unfun building with my mom all day long. When we dropped mom back at the office, I left the company a 'little present' in the parking lot. Mommy laughed, and didn't mind until she thought she saw some blood in my poopies. Then she got nervous, because of the parasite thingy I seem to be fighting.

Speaking of that whole parasite issue..... I finished my antibiotics on 4/1/08. Mom and the family was so impressed with how well I took my medicine. Mommy didn't have to force me. It tasted sooooooooo good, I'd like the outside of the syringe (because of excess medicine), then place the end of the syringe in my mouth MYSELF. So, anywho...mommy has kind of been on pins and needles worrying about what the vet would say when we saw him. On Friday, 4/4/08 we went to the puppy doctor, and this time it was a man doctor. He was really old....and didn't have the best people skills. But he seemed to know what he was talking about when discussing things with mommy and grandmom. BUT, and get a load of this....he said I am getting pudgy, because I weigh 3.6 pounds. Between office visits, I gained 1.6 pounds. He is against my family giving me wet foods, wants me to cut back on treats, and tried to scare mommy and grandmom about the dangers of fat pets. My sister Cro`i is skinny, but what if this doctor saw Pooka? He'd be in deep doo-doo.

I've also been scratching A LOT. Like to the point where my little furs are coming off. SO mommy told the doctor, who took a sample of my skin off my ear. He was looking for bugs, but said I was not skinny-buggy. He told mom and grandmom to watch my scratching. Mommy has given me oatmeal bathes, but they don't help too much. The doctor then gave me two shots in my butt to keep me healthy, and then we go back to see him again next Friday, 4/11/08. From there the will retest my poop to check on the tummy parasite. And probably weigh me again. *Snort*. Because of my insistent scratching, mommy has decided to change my food from Science Diet, to a 'spensive food called Wellness. She thinks maybe I was allergic to the Science Diet.

Yesterday was loads of fun, as I was out and about on the town. There's a seaport place on Long Island called Port Jefferson. Mommy likes to go there, and has a friend Jaret who owns a shop there too. It's called Enchanted Indigo, and you can see it on-line at: www.enchantedindigo.com So we went to visit Jaret, who took tons of photos of me, bought some stuffs there, then walked to a great place to eat called Toast to visit a waiter who was itching to meet me. We also went to an a-mazing store for pets called Fetch which has awesome, awesome, pawsome stuffs for dogs and cats. Mommy and Aunt Ida bought a spray to help with the itchies, and a little sundress for me. Of course my dress is pink, has polka dots, and says LOVE on it. So many Port Jefferson visitors and residents commented on how cute I am, asked questions about me, and two little girls even asked to take a photo with me. Yes, I am adored and cherished....my cuteness supersedes everything.

Today was another day out and about as I went to get my new food. Then the family smuggled me in to Wal-Mart, and as I hid in my carry bag...under mommy's coat, I played SECRET AGENT as they shopped. I met an old family friend of the family's there named Gino. He seemed nice enough. Mommy and Aunt Ida then bought me yet another adorable outfit, so you just know I will be the best dressed pup in town. What can I say? I love to shop. After Wal-Mart we went to visit my Uncle Pat and his family and I hung out there for some time. (I even tinkled on the floor in the Florida room.) *Tucks tail* Sorry Cousin Dee.

And that's it! Tomorrow I will officially be three months old. And it will be a whole new week for me to have adventures, get in to some sort of trouble....and just continue to be adored. Tune in next time......same puppy blog.....same puppy time.
