LuLu's Desperate House Dogs (formerly the Bow Wow Blog)

LuLu's Desperate House Dogs is a blog about an eccentric little Beagle named LuLu, who, along with her sister Sadie (a Whippet/Terrier/Beagle blend), writes the lurid Puppies in Lust series, and absorbs local color in an idyllic, off-the-leash, canine-centered village known as Lincoln Park~

Friday, February 24, 2006

The Story thus far...

The purebred dogs of Lincoln Park all share a secret: They were once famous human beings, now reincarnated as canines. LuLu, a beautiful young beagle, recalls a life spent as Queen Elizabeth I of England, and her beloved Earl of Leicester may currently be a Cavalier King Charles spaniel named Spencer, who lives down the street and sleeps every night with LuLu's best friend, Lily, who just happens to be his crate mate. To further complicate matters, LuLu shares her home with two highly disreputable cats with intriguing past lives of their own. (Please see our archives.) The pulchritudinous little beagle also has quite a list of suitors vying for her paw. These include: Benji the bearded collie, the Labradors Rockie and Buddy, Paco the German shepherd, Tanner the cur-dog/beagle blend, Nestle the cultured French poodle, Snoop the schnauzer, Rocko the bulldog, Harmony the boxer, and a handsome mutt of mixed breed named Ziggie.

Lovely LuLu and her four-legged friends manage to find trouble behind every fire hydrant. In October they were racing around Sam Spade's San Francisco, searching for the infamous Maltese Chew Toy. (Please locate under "search" at the top of the page.) In January LuLu found herself embroiled in yet another thrilling mystery, The Hound of the Poconos. (Please see 6/11/2005 in our archives.) Now Morey the Mutt has moved into the neighborhood and signed on as a weekly blog columnist, exposing Lincoln Park after dark, while revealing a few dark secrets of his own. (Please see 12/02/2006 for Morey's first six installments.) Meanwhile, a power struggle may be brewing in idyllic Lincoln Park!

Come join the absurdity of LuLu's Desperate House Dogs. We guarantee you'll bark out at least one good laugh. You might even find yourself rolling around in the grass, hoping you'll come back as a dog the next time around.

Tail wags and licks, your blog hostess, LuLu~

Fine. I'LL comment. Personally, I believe Lulu is being perfectly silly if she sits around and pines for Rockie while he's in Iowa. I thought she was Queen Elizabeth in a past life. Would Queen Elizabeth act like that? Would Eva Peron?

Meanwhile...Fiver, Punkin, Nestle, etc., you can all write to me at this address. I'm NOT a girl who mopes. Oh, and you can get in touch too, Tanner. I'm sure I have more to offer than your current flame, Miss Gracie.

Ta-ta and arf-arf...

I picture you in leather, Asp. Booties, sweater, leash. Black leather. What a girl!

Now, now, now. The ASP is just a puppy, playing with us the way she plays with chew toys. Only a few short months ago I was her age, and know what it's like when you want to grow up fast and be taken seriously. As for Rockie, I am not pining for him, but I miss him. Meanwhile, I'm consoling myself with Buddy, Paco, Alex, Bandit, Benji, Wilbur, Max, and my dear, dear once-upon-a-time great love, Spencer.

Eat your heart out, Eva Peron~

Madame S: I am an exquisitely beautiful King Charles Cavalier Spaniel. I am also brilliant. In a past life I was Mary Queen of Scots. In another I was Eva Peron. In yet another I was Lassie. How long will it take for the world to recognize how very special I am and bow to my wishes?

Asp,

Some crazy gypsy -- I think it was Bazzazz the Banana Slipper -- once said that Pride goes before a fall in a supermarket (and then a quickie lawsuit). I'm not sure what he was talking about -- nobody ever was -- but you have a tremendously high opinion of yourself and very little humility.
Grow up and get some, or go to Scotland and raise an army -- whatever works for you, dear.

The Eye On The Park:

A perfect Saturday morning, at least for a Hen Fest. Seen in the park: Miss Gracie, looking for Tanner. "He's fast becoming a bad-boy legend," she commented. "He's James Dean in East of Eden. He's the Leader of the Pack. I'm his -- hooked and tethered."

Daisy, the Westie from Centerville, said she was just looking for a few squirrels to chase.

LuLu was there, searching for Rockie, but instead ran into her friend Judah (henceforth known as "Judy"), who gave her a romp for her kibble.

Finally a male showed up: Corky the Yorkie~

"Have you seen Rockie?" LuLu asked, and he replied that he hadn't.

"How about my new leash on life, Tanner?" quizzed Miss G.

"Sorry," he replied, and Gracie growled at him.

"She wants to bensil me!" cried Corky in his cute Yorkshire accent. "I'm off."

"I'm peeved," stated Gracie as she and LuLu settled down to share a stick. "Do you think Tanner's found somebody else?"

LuLu snapped her part of the stick in two, looked pensive, but didn't reply.

Tanner is questioning where everyone went tonight. Especially, Miss Gracie, although I like to refer to her as Ellie Mae. That is so sexy! You'll find out I had a little fling with LuLu tonight. Nothing serious, just a tussle. Honest, we had to tussle as it was so cold! Ask Paco!

We understand that Paco may be heading south to Cincinnati for a while, Jimmy, which means you might be on your own. Look at it this way, with both Rockie and Paco out of the way...LuLu, Miss Gracie, the Asp, Lola, Belle, Mags, Sony, and all those other cute female puppies you met in the park today will be YOURS. ALL YOURS, Jimmy Dean.

And since when did YOU need a mentor? I mean, you were so cool in GIANT.

A question, though -- where IS Rockie?

Dear Lily and Spencer,

Of course... I can paint anything that moves, as long as it's photo doesn't have red eyes and the picture is in color, clear, and at least a 5X7.
