An unhappy LuLu after an attempt on her life 

The mysterious Spencer...LuLu's great love? 

The beautiful and enigmatic Lily 

The story thus far:

LuLu, a beautiful young Beagle of patrician stock, is hypnotized by her guardian at a young age, and discovers that in another lifetime she was Queen Elizabeth I of England. Further, she soon realizes that a number of other historic personages have shared her fate and been reincarnated in canine form. A few historic celebrities have even (shudder)returned as cats.

LuLu currently lives across the street from the late Sir Winston Churchill, somewhat predictably a phlegmatic English bulldog this time around. She shares her home with two cats who can also boast interesting pasts. One is the former Cardinal Richelieu, the brilliant and cunning seventeenth-century spy master of France, and the other is Mabel Normand, a silent-screen movie queen, whose career was ruined when she was implicated in the scandalous William Desmond Taylor murder case back in the 1920s. In feline form, Mabel is an embittered catnip addict.

LuLu has the ability to "sense" where other famous dogs lie. For example, she knows that Sigmund Freud is now living life as a Schnauzer in Melbourne, Australia. Unfortunately, she finds herself mired in confusion when it comes to the identity of Spencer, a handsome Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who may or may not have been her Great Love from centuries in the past. Then there is his delicately beautiful but painfully enigmatic girlfriend, Lily. Her love for Spencer may be largely unrequited, but she's willing to give up every chew toy she owns just to hold onto her man.

LuLu and her friends live in an Eden-like setting in a place called Lincoln Park, located somewhere in the middle of the USA. She belongs to an exclusive dog-walking group called the Waggin' Train, having inherited her spot from her guardian's fomer companion, the almost legendary Pekingese, Gizmo -- who sometimes visits LuLu as a ghost.

The story has been rolling right along. So far, Richelieu and Mabel have been thwarted in their efforts to take over LuLu's doggy etiquette blog, but Lily is about to be sued by a litigious chipmunk, and a recent attempt has been made on LuLu's life.
