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 with LuLu's best friend, Lily, and sleeps by her side every night. To complicate matters, a pretty pup who claims to have once been Mary Queen of Scots has joined the group, and it has become obvious that she would like a rematch with LuLu.

Meanwhile, the pulchritudinous beagle keeps busy trying to sort out the long list of suitors vying for her paw. These include: Benji the bearded collie, the Labradors Rockie and Buddy, Paco the German shepherd, Tanner the curdog/beagle blend, Nestle the cultured French poodle, Snoop the "downtown" schnauzer, Rocko the bulldog, Harmony the boxer, and Morey the literary mutt.

Lovely LuLu and her four-legged friends find trouble behind every fire hydrant. Last October found them hunting for the Maltese Chew Toy (locate through SEARCH), and in January LuLu wound up imperiled in yet another mystery, The Hound of the Poconos. (See ARCHIVES 6/11/2005.) Now Morey the mutt has signed on as a weekly blog columnist, exposing the underbelly of Lincoln Park after dark, while revealing a few pretty dark secrets of his own. (See ARCHIVES 12/02/2006 for early columns.)

Luscious Lily's eccentric aunt, pyschic Madame Spirea, has also arrived on the scene with her crystal ball, and she prognosticates that a power struggle appears to be brewing in heretofore 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~
