About Me
- Name: LuLu
I am a single five-year-old female Beagle, shown here by myself, while my mix-up of a sister sings the praises of mutts on my blog. Well, let her. I have a most intriguing (one might even say lascivious) past, at least according to my autobiography. In a former lifetime I was Queen Elizabeth the Ist of England, and later on (among others) I was Nell Gwynn, Pauline Borghese, Louise Brooks, and eventually just lovable, neurotic, adorable ME. I have a perfectly charming, albeit very annoying, sister named Sadie. She's rarely plagued by conscience, possibly because she's a Sagittarius. To date she has attempted to steal most of my boyfriends, meaning we're quite used to fighting over bones. Sadie and I are the same age, although she's the adopted one. We do have a fair amount of things in common. For example, she was once Mary Queen of Scots, and later on both Barbara Villiers and Marlene Dietrich. Amazingly we get along -- at least when we're before the public~

Oh, I started drinking gin and was neatly taken in by a little girl they all called Maggie May.
i am gtetting confused.
U've been confused for yrs, ken.
i got a dog
congratulations.
What breed of dog did you choose, Ken?
the one that ran started sleeping onm my porch.
Oh, That dog.
ken, did you steal a dog?
it found me. used to belong to a neighobr. He left him here.
Ken, I hope you take better care of your dog than you type.
Duz the dog have a name?
The dogs name is Felony.
Only you, Ken!
All right, Ken, I'll bite (although I'm much too sweet a dog to do so literally)~
Why did you name your dog "Felony"?
becsuse he looks like one.
I would like to hear less about Ken and more about the possibly lascivious past, of either Lulu or her owner.
Nothing personal, Ken.
In another lifetime I was known as the Virgin Queen, but don't you believe it, bucko. I kicked up my heels with a few eager earls. These days I'm into the bestial, which should be OK, since I'm a beagle. As for my guardian, if you want to find out about her kinky past, read the next installment of our serial mystery, The Hound of the Poconos. Talk about steamy! She's into bigamists....and that's just for starters~
I know a little dog who's not going to get her Milk Bone treats this evening.
I'll name my next dog biggamy.
Thanks, Ken. Your comments are always appreciated.
They are?
lulu is a bigamist?
Punkin,
Well, there's Rockie and Spencer and Bandit and Benji. There's Buddy and Bailey and Paco. So many dogs and so little time....but I'm not a bigamist.
Although (thank you, Groucho Marx), it's big a me to bother to tell you so~
my dog ran off.
oh you know, ken, who could blame it?
felonys badk home
That's criminal.
Hope Felony didn't meet Miss Da Meenor.
Ken, you are a wack job.
thankyou I think
How is Felony doing now, Ken? My friend Maggie, who spends a lot of time in church, is praying for him.
Just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving!
teh dog can tyep?
Felopny is a girl.
Meagan,
And a Happy Thanksgiving to you~
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Ken, and I hope you eventually figure out Felony's sex~
Ok Rocky fess up. It wasn't a daring duel at Heildleberg, it happened in a game of, "Back to the Future". And you were waveboarding at the world famous Hunington Beach, Ca. dog park.
Nestle said. . .
Who said Rattlesnakes!? Can I have some of those too for Thanksgiving dinner? huh? huh?
Welp, gotta go. Gotta look for a rattlesnake. Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!
Rockie was waveboarding in Huntington Beach? Rockie's from Iowa! But then you never know.
Hey, Rock, is that how you got your OTHER scar?
A Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Nestle. And I want you to know that I LOVE your outfits. Yours and Sony's. My person never buys me ANYTHING. Well, I do have about 100 toys, and we've gone through roughly nine different leashes, collars, and harnesses. But I want something chic. I want Rockie to see me in Dolce and Gabbana!
Does your person work on consignment?
To anonymous,
I thought Huntington Beach Dog Park, Ca. WAS in Iowa. I guess I dunno a state from a county anymore. Sometimes these sweater hoods cut off the brain flow to my brain.
And lulu, getting a Dolce and Gabbana to impress Rockie, mmm... Gracie the Shih-Tzu might get awfully jealous over that. She's got a thing for Rockie you know.
But heck, what about moi, I may be small, but I'm still all boy!!
Nestle,
Gracie is as cute as a kitten, and we are (usually) friends, but the dear girl can't chew a stick worth a sack of Iams.
And Rockie is a ROBUST dog who needs a bitch who can keep up with him. I'm a beagle and I can keep up with just about anything or anybody...except maybe for a Jack Russell on steroids.
But moving on, I'm glad to know you're all boy...and I'm always interested. With so many cute male dogs around, I kinda wish we weren't all neutered. But don't tell my person I said so. Come to think of it, I believe she may be neutered, too.
Can't wait for the next installment. What else do cats have to do but eat, sleep and read Blog stories?
You sure are right about cats! Thats all my ' real' caretakers one cat thinks about is eatin' and sleepin'. At least I also go outside and chase REAL mice, not indoor invisible ones like he does. Anyway. . .about blog stories.
My real caretaker (the one who takes me to the dr. when I'm sick, makes sure I get my shots, things like that and who doesn't dress me up unless its REAL cold) says I may get to visit her for several days next wk. :) so we could start reading these blog stories.
She's never had the opp. :(
Where would she find it in this blog site? thnks.
Felony cateches squirels.
Nestle,
There are eight-million stories in the naked city, and you can currently catch three on our blog.
If you would like to read our Sam Spencer thriller, The Maltese Chew Toy, look under 31/07 in the archives. We've also got our new mystery, The Hound of the Poconos, running right next to the dashing beagle, and there's a lurid Thanksgiving tale posted next to baby Belle.
Enjoy~
Uh, you too, Ken.
Hmmm. Lurid. That sounds interesting !! Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately, my one caretaker said she would need to read it first, before letting me see it :(
I'll ask my other caretaker though. He might let me.
And ken,
I thought catching squirrels was a felony (?)
Hey Ken! Its me, Lily. I caught a chipmunk once but my mom made me drop it.
Ken, are you sure Felony didn't go out there and catch a turkey?
Ken is a turkey.
every body is piking on me.
I love men with secrets.
Rockie,
Some of us girls have a few secrets of our own. For example, guess who isn't spayed?
just my luck, felony. I hear about a pretty unspayed female, AFTER my arthritis sets in.
now, on top of this, my she caretaker may curtail my walks because it hasn't been THAT cold and I've been stoppin & shiverin' even with my coats on.
I think she may be overreacting. Oh well, what's a fella to do. back to readin' the Poconos. Have fun all.
Nestle, my Aunt Lynda, mom of Lily and Spencer, has an idea that might help your arthritis. She was telling my guardian about it over in the park tonight. It's a microwave heat pack -- evidently they now have them for dogs. You-know-who is getting one, and it might help your aching bones~
By the way, I AM spayed. But evidently Felony isn't. Thing is, nobody has a clue what Felony looks like. So be careful what you wish for, my dear. It just might charge down a dark alley and jump your bones.
And you don't want THAT...do you?
Felony looks beteer then that dog who died.
to lulu,
jump my bones !! did you say, "jump my bones"?! I'd luv to have my bones jumped!
But I better get off this blog before my she person sees what I just wrote.
P.S. Though I do have some degree of dignity, which dark alley :) ?
Is jumpin bonz like jumpin a claim? Keep yur paws offa my bonz, baby.
felony,
ken said, " (you) look beteer then that dog that died." I take it you you killed some dog?! Hence, your name.
wow.
oh anonymous,
i hope you was referrin' to felony, cuz this old boy's bones are too old to jump anybody. I can barely jump on my owners good couch.
anyway,
g'night, g'night whoever you are.
Nestle,
My Auntie Lynda has a suggestion for something that might help those bones. Ask one of your guardians to go online and bring up Jefferspet.com. Then type Snuggle Safe into the search box. This is a microwave heating pad that supposedly will retain heat for up to twelve hours! Auntie Lynda and Uncle Mike bought one for Lily, and maybe one of your guardians will get you one for Xmas, too.
By the way, old bones and all -- I think you're kind of cute~
Me again. Fortunately at 14 months, I'm still young enough to appreciate such non-geriatric web sites as Barker&Meowsky and (my fave) The Gilded Paw. (Flaunt it while you've got it is my credo!)
Anyway, both B&M and GP have Vuitton chew bags that are to yipe for -- plus many, many other FAB gifts of the season.
And, no, I wasn't paid to say that.
Honest. Not one kissy stick or dog biscuit.
Honest.
Ken,
WHAT dog who died? My guardian said to ask: Did they switch your medications again?
A dog on line. it was in the papers. he was guly. Feolonys not that bad and she's a girl. Who got killed?
The real question here is who or what is "guly"?
UGLY
Golly.
felony's referring to poor "Sam".
A TRULY ugly dog, but very sweet. Even his owner didn't like to look at him.
A Chinese Crescent or Mexican hairless ? He was voted the ugliest dog in the whole world ! for 3 straight years. Just died at 15.
Had NO hair. Except some long gray sprig stickin straight up out of his head. Wrinkly skin, too. Small. And his teeth. Whew !!!
Every one was crooked. Made his jaw crooked. And his face. They were gonna put him to sleep, cause nobody wanted him. Then some lady adopted him when he was 6 yrs.
Her husband got REAL mad !!! Said he couldn't stand lookin at the dog, so they got a divorce. She still kept Sam tho :)
Her next husband said he didn't look at Sam cause it nauseated him.
But at least they didn't divorce.
Poor Sam. I feel for him. My own guardians laugh about my bowlegs-- something about putting leg braces on me.
Yeah, well, they don't know I was a famous french cowboy in my previous life !
I promised my guardian I will never ever post so long again. But, I wanted to share about the ugliest dog in the whole world. Lil Sam.
And who knows? Maybe felonys a pretty little Mexican hairless.
Hey, Ken, why don't you send us a picture of Felony.
Nestle,
You are so sweet and charming. I'll bet you were somebody like Maurice Chevalier in a past life.
(Anybody out there remember GiGi?)
I have no idea what she's talking about, but my guardian (who's older than the first dinosaur bone) says MC was one of the stars.
I gather he exemplified French
savoir faire at one time. Now it's your turn, Nestle~
Felony'ed breke the damera.
ken,
since sam didnt break the camera, I don't see how felony could ? unless she's REAL big and stepped on it, maybe. thats it! i bet felony's an irish wolfhound!?
and, lulu, thank you so much for the compliment. you say, maybe in a past life i might have been like this french MC guy! with savoir something. And, a gigi!!!? he had a gigi!!??
whoa ! Stop me there! I need a cold shower. sounds like a pretty french poodle name to me ! perhaps, a french princess?
aah, yes, to dream. . .
a previous life having savoir something and a gigi by my side. this is too much.
Ken's strange little world lives on.
Nestle,
GiGi is the title of an old movie, still available on DVD, that's based on a story by a French writer named Colette. GiGi was this cute little French poodle who didn't want to wind up in a puppy mill like her aunt and grandmother.
So she managed to hook up with the hottest and richest dog in Paris and get adopted by his people, who were fabulously wealthy. Well, that's SORT OF how the movie went.
My guardian loves it because it takes place around 1900, which is probably when she was young.
Still, you can have a "gigi" if you wish. I've heard it called just about everything, so why not a "gigi"?
You ARE talking about your choke collar, n'etes-vous pas?
that was an interesting read !! I didn't know they had puppy mills back then. They did? In France? Is this really so or are you pullin my little old poodle leg?
If this is all really so my she guardian says when she can she wants to get it and she and I can watch it together. Just hope its not sad.
lulu you said, You ARE talking about your choke collar, n'etes-vous pas? I'm confused. how'd a choke collar get in the read?
btw, my she guardian wants to tell you she took quite a fall tonite. Tore cartiledge and ligaments in her ankle and broke the lower part of her leg. the fibula. has crutches. walker. a cast. and she just got home from MVH! she must keep leg raised, bedridden, ice. I'm sure others know the routine. She 's hurtin some now, but they say its going to get a lot worse. so we'll be off the pc. Probably real good. to give others more room/
Hope all of you take care ! she said to say she misses seeing you and happy holidays.
Nestle,
My guardian says to ask your guardian if there's anything we can do to help out! We know you have two guardians, but if you need to be walked, my person currently has TWO working elbows, meaning she's a lot better off than she was just a few weeks ago.
Would you like us to pick up a copy of GiGi for you at a local Blockbuster? If they don't have it, we'll be glad to check online.
The movie isn't sad, Nestle. In fact, it's a comedy...and right about now, I imagine your guardian could use a good laugh.
Felonys not irihs. Too bad abot leg. about.
thank you, lulu. fortunately, i'm taken care of though my she guardian was needing to get to my dr. to get some fish oil. but that can wait ! At some pt. she and I would love to see that movie.
Its my she guardian, though who is in a bad way. she don't have as much family or guardians as me. she can't walk, drive, for a while. don't know about surgery till next week. And this is one biggee. Her landlady is very upset cause even though she's always paid early, she has no idea when she can get rent to the the lady. she is very nasty and strict about that .Even one mo. and she threatens or sometimes starts eviction process. I told her maybe I could build her a warm doghouse to live in.
Nestle,
Is this simply a matter of getting a rent check to the landlady? My guardian is going to take me out and then we are going to bed, but why not ask your guardian to write to mine at: AOscard@aol.com, and she will answer her tomorrow. We're going to be out and about unless it snows tomorrow. Maybe we can help.
Meanwhile, don't worry. Evictions take a long time, and I know you aren't going to be thrown out in the snow at Christmas.
ROCKIE FOR THE SUPREME COURT!!!!
It's time we had a real dog on the bench~
My, my, that little beagle does get carried away when it comes to her favorite Lab. Then as the old saying goes: Behind every great dog there's a real bitch.
Nestle,
Both LuLu and I hope that your guardian is feeling better today, but something tells me she's not.
Anyway, Rockie's mom has offered good advice, and if there's anything further we can do to help, please let us know.
The Waggin' Train always does its best to take care of its own~
You have no idea how those comments helped, because my she guardian don't have guardians like I do.\ And she will heed all the advice and more.
She doesn't even know how she is going to pay for the emergency room visit. She doesnt have enuf
insurance. She thinks the Second Time Around people should help since their property was a sheet of black ice with nothing on it.
Unfortunately, she didn't realize this until it was too late.
It was not snowing, sleeting anything when she went out or at any time that day. Now she has a full leg cast from her toes to her kneecap and they don't know the full extent of her injuries.
Shes trying but it hurts to stand and fix something to eat. But she's tough, she's not taking anything for pain (she cant afford it).
boy whine, whine whine. She says. She doesnt mean to sound like that. But she's also kind of angry with some people who promised to help her with a few things before this snow came. she was then going to go out and run them herself, but decided that wouldn't be a good idea.
re: eviction. she doesn't want an eviction process initiation to show on her records.
All this to get one remaining dvd at the store for a gift. and the person probably won't even appreciate it.
shes yackin to much about herself she says, she sorry. Hopes you are all doing well. Be careful with all this snow. Thanks again.
And whats Lulu doin with a santa hat?.
Maybe Santa Claw's fad diet didn't work and he was too fat to make it down the chimney?
Nestle's Guardian:
Contact MVH's accounting department and explain your situation. They have all sorts of payment plans available. Meanwhile, consider talking to someone at UD's law clinic about suing STA. A couple of phone calls never hurt anyone, and part of the healing process involves resting easy about extraneous matters.
lol :) about santas fad diet
But how come lulu's santa came early.
anonymous,
you're right on both posts.
my she guardian did what MVH and an acquaintenance suggested /she called the store. They said the store should pay the medical bills. Owner to call Sat.
hope you all are enjoying snow. my she guardian loooooves this vicodin and scotch mix . Shes says shes having a Haaapy ( burp) Holidays.
well,
good luck on exams rockie guardian.
btw, she dont drink and shes only taking OTC Advil. Nice thought though. Stay well and safe all.
Maybe Santa's reindeer had to go?
oh my. poor santa. perhaps he should use ups. or moi.
i and this big blonde i live with, we both have reindeer horns.
And maybe felony can fly over rooftops too. And rockie and lulu, and gracie and maggie and all the fraze dogs, we could be reindogs !
Nestle,
Whatever you're chewing on, could you maybe get a bag full for the rest of us dogs?
anonymous,
excuse me ?????
are there more than one of you anonymous' dogs or guardians? I don't quite understand what you are getting at ? Perhaps there is one or more posts to which you are referring?
Me and my she guardian try to be funny.
We don't need anything to eat, chew on, drink, inject or whatever some humans do to try. sorry. We may not be funny, not saying that, we just try.
In my above post, I was merely threading on to some above posts regarding the new photo of lulu standing near a santa hat.
rockie,
if your guardian sees this and is not studying for exams, could you ask her how I can get in touch with someone probono at the clinic?
The rent issue's settled. its a related matter but diff. my email is sueldayton@aol.com if she feels comfortable emailing. thanks!
Hi, Nestle --
I see you've left several messages...all for ME? Oh, there's one for Rockie's guardian. SIGH. Would you believe I haven't seen that big, hunky Lab in at least 24 hours? I may be sitting here, waiting to see a large animal with antlers -- but I fear nobody can ever replace Rockie in my heart.
Wait a minute. Who's that outside?
Why, it looks like Buddy, the Golden retriever from across the street.
Outta here.........
Well, then you must be 'anonymous', too, if my posts to anonymous were to you! wow, I pulled you out. :) yes, I do have reindeer antlers and so does my blonde live in. I was going to send you a picture, can't now. Hope you enjoyed goldie today,lulu.
My hopalong guardian with the broken ankle AND broken leg wants to say this:
she truly enjoyed the goofy blogging, but now its time she and I back out. Happy Holidays, have a good safe winter and good spring.
Thats NOT only for you lulu, that's my wish for everyone !!!!!
Nestle...
Unless a posting on MY blog is addressed to someone else, it's mine! And we've enjoyed reading all of your posts on our goofy blog. We hope you'll stick with us, at least in spirit if not online, and that your guardian will swiftly recover from her injuries, and will soon be back in the park. JOYEUX NOEL, Nestle~
I am a nosy and bored dog right now. was penpalling and was curious. yes, I will respond.
i have friends some of whom are british. nevertheless, ( a big word for me), I must be honest.
me and my she guardian were hurt by some of the recent blogs here and elsewhere. Probably under ordinary conditions she would not have been/.
Maybe my she guardian is touchy right now, but she was trying to crack some jokes . And answer a question.
But to say some of the things that were said when she had a broken ankle AND a broken leg AND very possibly a Type 3 sprain (ligs and cartl torn away from the bone) and her foot and toes are mostly black, and she faces at least one surgery with hardly any insurance. . .well
And she has two cats , is single with some of her close friends just recently moved out of town.
But through it all , she was trying to be funny. Maybe its not the same kind as your other bloggers and maybe she and I aren't as smart, but we were trying to be goofy. and lighten it up.
We decided that we were taking up to much bloggng space.
Then---- the accident.
Yes, I , Nestle support her in her feelings. We love each other unconditionally and we have not seen each other for a week and it may actually be a VERY VERy long time before we do.
touche, touchy, trifles, or truffles. Whatever, she's just one damn hurting , tired bitch. She will work on crosswords and stick to her penpals for the at least six mos. of healing. from the two touchy whatevers.
Well, I can report that Nestle's guardian is getting better. We recently saw her in the park. She's limping, but as we beagles say: She'll soon be running her field trials again. I wish her the best....my person does, too~
By the way, I'm also getting better, if ANYONE CARES. Jeesh! If Lily so much as sneezes, she gets sympathy. I wind up in the hospital and people tell me to clean up my act.
Well, at least I got a nice nuzzle from Rockie when I went for a restorative walk in the park earlier. He said:"LuLu, you are way cool."
Or maybe it was: "I'm going to jump in the pool."
"That duck swimming ashore is a fool?"
I figure the nuzzle spoke a thousand barks.
That Lab's my guy.
Everybody else can eat stale goose poop.
Didn't you say you liked goose poop?
FRESH goose poop -- not stale goose poop. I am a true goose poop aficionado~
with breath like a barracuda?
No, sweetie, just a bite like one.
Parked in neutral?
Not much shaking on the blog tonight. Must be a Dog-Gone holiday I don't know about~
