Woe Is Me, Says Lo Dog

We've had our dog, Lola, for more than eight years. She's a sweet, if not neurotic, English shepherd mix that we rescued when we lived down on the California coast. And for all of this time, she had our (actually Kristi's) undivided attention.

Ummm... she used to.

Lola is slowly... and I do mean slowly... adjusting to life with Elena. It's not that she hates her. She just doesn't get it. "Why are they paying attention to that little thing that cries?," Lola would say. "And why does Kristi use the high-pitched baby talk -- the voice she uses with ME -- with that little thing?"

Sigh. Lola misses life with the spotlight all to herself!



This video says it all. Lola was polite and came up to say hello when asked, but that was it.
