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~

Beautiful dog but where is the story?

The Eye On The Park...

Here's something different: the Eye just received a late night phone call that was not from an outraged reader or a collection agency! Instead, it was from one of our stringers in Europe, which generally means some booze hound in a bar in Cologne or Marseille. Imagine our amazement when it turned out this particular hound actually had a story.

Jeesh! Wonders -- will they never cease?

Story below.

Dateline the South of France:

A major ruckus at a manse belonging to the Duke of Rothschild and Roquefort earlier this evening, when armed dogs with bared fangs broke into chez R&R, and made off with a few priceless paintings, some exquisite jewelry, a protesting French bulldog named Giles, and the lord of the manor's girlfriend, a hot Dutch stabyhoun who gave her name as Mata.

Moxie Rothschild and Roquefort, who was recently named the "Sexiest Dog Alive" by Mammal Magazine, was not home at the time the invasion took place. (He was, in fact, partying down with another Dutch bitch -- former paw candy, Zelda the poodle -- at a party in Switzerland.)

According to local police, the castle invaders may have been let into the manse by Mata the stabyhoun, who has a lengthy pound record, as it turns out. She later insisted that she and Moxie had recently broken up, and she had just started an affair with Giles the bulldog, "in order to get even with Mox for screwing around with my old friend Zelda again."

This is France, after all.

According to Giles, he and Mata had been gnawing on wild boar bones while smoking catnip, when he passed out, and when he woke up he discovered that he had been kidnapped.

After a quick plunder and a plate of wild boar bones, the invaders quickly made their escape on motorbikes, but were stopped before they could leave the estate by two American coyotes, who refused to identify themselves for reasons unknown.

"Lafitte, we are here," one of them told police officers, who had no idea what he was talking about.

Things are still being sorted out, but the police have officially taken into custody Mata the stabyhoun; Miguel, an Argentine Dogo; Mikhail, a Black Russian terrier, and Pedido, a fila brasileiro.

Giles the French bulldog, still dazed from his ordeal, was released into superscion Moxie Rothschild and Roquefort's custody late this morning.

The two coyotes finally admitted to police that they had initially been working with the invaders, and arrived in France two days ago on a ship sailing under Venezuelan registration.

"But old Mox, you know, he's almost as hot as Johnny Depp," they said, "and besides, he's from our hometown. And, you know, once in a while, a pariah's got to do what a pariah's got to do."

The pair was given a flea dip and then released into the custody of Moxie Rothschild and Roquefort.

They were told not to leave France.

Here is the missing link that got erased.....dum, dum, de-dum.....

From the Diary of LuLu the Beagle:

"He's hot; he's hot; he's really hot; oh, we are talking so barking HOT here; hot...hot...."

Finally, a blank page.

Dear Diary,

I don't know what I'm going to do about my baby sister, Blue Girl, who continues to call herself "Bleu" and is now barking with a French accent, even though she knows less about French than I do about chastity.

"I want to go back to France," she tells me. "Moxie's Dutch girlfriend has turned out to be a criminal, and that means he'll drop her and leash-lock with me."

(Dog help me to understand the workings of the adolescent mind!)

"He is not going to leash-lock with you, Blue, and you are not going back to France. Aren't you forgetting something? Like the fact you're wanted for bank robbery over there!"

"Giles got away with it. He's out of jail."

"Only for the time being, and I do not want the press turning my sister into Patty Hearst."

"Who's she? And Moxie needs me!"

(Great Dog Almighty! It's like trying to reason with the Bush twins.)

Then...this very afternoon, I saw Blue frolicking with Rockie in the park. Yes, Rockie. MY Rockie. King Rockie, the Rockman, the Honcho Hound, the Lord of Lincoln Park. He, who has such a weakness for houndy bitches, but I have always been his number one sniff -- the tail he most likes to nose, the goose-poop scented lips he loves to lick.

Now here is my baby sister, younger and fresher; my sister, whose hound scent is stronger, whose breath is even more enticingly rancid.

All at once I feel like Mary Boleyn watching her little sister Annie dangle younger, fresher bait in front of Henry VIII.

Blue Girl needs a smack. She's after my hunk of dogo because I won't let her have her way; and Rockie, like all males, is too awestruck by a neat pair of stifles and the set of a high tail to realized he's being used.

I'm devoted to my sister, but I also love the Rockman. I'd like to throw her into the pound, but I haven't got the heart for it; and how can I send her back to France, knowing what might be waiting for her there?

As night fell I found myself aimlessly roaming the park, trying to think while longing for love in the form of a cold nose. An old torch song came to mind, and I paused to howl at a sliver of cloud-shrouded moon.

All at once I heard the odd but not unpleasant sound of mournful Russian music, and I peered through the mist rising from the lake to behold a large white dog sitting on a bench, strumming a balalaika.

For some reason he reminded me of Peter the Great, not that I knew him personally.

"Hello," he woofed in faintly accented American. "You sound suicidal. Would you like a musical accompaniment?"

"I'm LuLu," I told him, wagging my tail.

"Chester."

He strummed on his balalaika, while I rolled over on my back, exposing my softer side, and let loose with a full Beagle bay....

Exclusive to LuLu's Desperate House Dogs from Us...

Yeah, so Okay. It's us. And like we know how bad LuLu's blog needs some juice, and anyways we figure she will count out at least what she doles to those dunkdumb stringers from all over the 'sphere.

We just like saved the torpedoes of Giles the bulldog -- the FRENCH bulldog, from the Evil Ones. LOL. Well, see, we were like the Evil Ones ourselves there for a ten minute break. You know. By that we mean we worked for El Chico over in Venezuela, but then we said somethin stoopid about Selma Hayek, and we had to jetfast for Patagonia or get peppered with hot metal. Uglybad. You know.

So while we were in Patagonia who did we fall over but Shamus O'Possum livin it up with a bunch of flamingos like the bones of Jimmy Hoffa come to life. So we did a nab and took him to El Chico, who for real works for this major dude who wants to take over the world, and we already knew the triggerman wanted to make sure Shamus was history so he couldn't floorboard a big motion picture deal the triggerman is in on.

So El Chico didn't waste us, but he told us to Glockmouth Shamus and dump his bones deep, somethin we're real good at, and also he told us the triggerman wanted to lose this actress bop over in Siberia or somewheres. So we met up with a couple of mutts in a boat halfway between Venezuela and Aruba, and they passed the software to us. But instead of a bitch we turned up with a dude wearin fobs, and we recognized him as a former Action Ace from Lincoln Park, which is our own hometown.

Which is why we didn't waste him, or Shamus. Like we would've wasted Shamus anyways, even though he's from LP, but the Action Ace is a dog and like that, and we got a good offer from this exotic pet store in Quake City, and the rest is studyin Caesar, except for the part about Moxie's crib and us being with the pistolitos who nabbed the Dutch treat and the bulldog to start with.

If you want to read the rest of our true and remorseful confession now that we're a hero sandwich, edrop us at the label above...and we'll clue you where to send the bowsers.

Anyways that's the whole truth and nothin but, and remember we're a couple of coyotes.
