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~

The Eye On The Park...

Dateline Lincoln Park:

The Eye was all set to interview King Rockie this afternoon, moments before he was scheduled to hop into his limousine -- in this case a large semi-truck with a built-in "King's Room," to make his annual Christmas pilgrimage to the Canine Monarchs' National Conference, held at an undisclosed location...in a cave somewhere west of the, ah, Rockies.

But like the rest of the press, we were forced to cool our paws in rain puddles, while His Majesty cuddled in an enclosed garden with none other than former sweetheart (and our publisher), LuLu the Beagle.

A stalwart member of the squirrelarazi snapped the posted shot of the once and ?? future ?? couple, and from the expressions on both their muzzles, everybody in the newsroom agreed -- they don't look "ex" anything.

"Hot and naughty and ready to doggie waltz," postulated one of five yapping mutts from a cable show called "The Spew."

"I think that King Rockie is disgusting!" yelped another. "He's so oversexed, he makes me want to hurl. Where is a metro mutt when you want one?"

Let's get King Rockie on the show!" howled yet another, and sue him for being male!"

"What did you and King Rockie talk about?" the crush of reporters demanded to know the moment a very demure LuLu emerged from the garden, with bits of grass still clinging to her back.

"I have no comment," she replied, and stuck to the old bark -- "Rockie and I are dear, dear friends" -- before vanishing into the maw of a block-long royal limo with windows tinted as black as a jackal's heart.

"Are you and LuLu and item again?" yelped the assembled, salivating mob when the King himself made an appearance a few moments later.

"Let me say this," he said, "LuLu and I made a simple promise to one another. We promised -- no matter what happens in this life -- to always chase sticks together."

"What the kennel does that mean?"

"What about LuLu's sister? Does she still qualify as hot paw candy?"

"Yeah! What about Bleu?"

But the King was having none of it. He hopped into his semi, blew the horn, and headed west, following the sun -- or maybe a really hot scent.

Fortunately his old friend, Nikki the hound, was more than willing to talk. "The little tramp is off to France again," she told us.

"But she's wanted for bank robbery over there!"

Nikki shrugged lightly. "Since Bleu has high-placed connections both here and abroad, the French are more than willing to forgive and forget. They're good at that, I'm told."

"Does Moxie know she's coming?"

"He's having her met at the airport," replied Nikki, with a wink, a nudge, and a not-so-subtle nip.

"What? Moxie? The playboy? Oh, that is so another age! So Ali Khan!" It was one of the mutts from "The Spew" again.

"Oh, let's get him on the show!"

"Maybe drunk?"

"Yes! Yes! I LOVE it!"

Hmmm. Developing...but hopefully well away from the madding crowd.

Correction...as usual....

While Ali Khan was Ali Khan, he was generally known as "Aly Khan."

King Rockie is known as King Rockie.

Arf, arf. Favorite bartender back for Santa Day.

My drink for Yule is Hot Buttered Rum this year. It will cure any old thing that ails you and it can knock you out faster than a roundhouse punch.

Recipe: One or two oz of light (or dark) rum...depends on your tastebuds and how well you can hold your alcohol.
A round tsp. of sugar (white or brown)
1/2 stick of butter. And don't use margarine! It tastes ghastly in rum drinks.
A pinch of cloves
A pinch of nutmeg.

Dump everything into a large mug, stir like crazy, and fill it up with boiling water. If you want to have some real fun, add a little Southern Comfort.

Happy Holidays, desperate puppies!

Merry Christmas, Lulu. I read Morey's column and enjoyed your reference to James Stewart's performance as a psycho.

He did play a madman early in his career. Is that why you used him? It was in the Thin Man series, and Stewart was a screaming loon.

I doubt he ever did one Stephen King movie, but it was funny.

Hi, Anne,

You know I've been trying to follow this for a year or more. I think I get it but I have a question. How many kings are there in Lincoln Park? I count three.
Rocky, Spencer, and Paco. But Paco might be a simple prince.

Pray enlighten.

Rockie is the main man -- the Leader of the Pack, Allie. Spencer was a summer replacement who got kidnapped, underwent a sex change, got kidnapped again....or something like that. He might have been a spy and outsmarted all the rest. He a DOG again instead of a bitch -- for now at least. And Paco is a prince of a fellow who ran off with an intern (????) and unlike real life, is now engaged to same.
