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, who just happens to be his crate mate.

To further complicate matters, a pretty pup who claims to have once been Mary Queen of Scots (and later on Eva Peron), has joined the group, and is making it obvious that she wants 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 Labs 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 now Vinney -- a young standard poodle with a new leash on life and winning ways.

Lovely LuLu and her four-legged friends find trouble behind every fire hydrant. Last October they went hunting for the Maltese Chew Toy (Archives 3l/07/2005)), and in January LuLu found herself further imperiled in another thrilling mystery, The Hound of the Poconos. (Archives 6/11/2005)

Now Morey the mutt (Archives 12/02/2006 & 16/04/2006) has signed on as a weekly blog columnist, exposing Lincoln Park after dark, while revealing a few dark secrets of his own...and Lily's psychic aunt has arrived in a gypsy wagon with her crystal Kong ball. She predicts a power struggle 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~

Corgi One:"If this wouldn't moider a nest of rats, eh? Here we are in Lincoln Park, US of A." 

Corgi Two: "You're right, cariad. One minute we're watching sheep on the bryn; the next we're waiting to see a brenin named Spencer." (Uh-ho.)
