Dateline Lincoln Park:

Well! And we thought the party was over. But it would seem that longtime loves LuLu and King Rockie are back at it! That codependent pair of patrician hounds was once again the most visible set of lovers in Lincoln Park this afternoon -- roaming through the snowdrifts together, nipping, sniffing, licking -- and Rockie has discovered a way to give new meaning to the old term "neck."

Pals Maggie Cocker, Shamus O'Toole, and Benji Brown were all agog as the king and his lady threw caution to the sleet and got down and dirty in the white stuff.

Even the local mallards and a visiting goose from the north were impressed. "Our dogs up in Canada are far more conservative," observed the goose (actually a gander), who said he was from Montreal. "And that's in spite of the French connection."

Good for Rockie and Lu! I saw them over in the park today, and they were thrilled to see each another.

Oh, I assure you that Rockie and Lulu are real, Jean. I live in Lincoln Park and know both of them.
They are two beautiful dogs who seem to be very caring toward each other. Lily and Spencer are also real, and they are cratemates.Only "some" of this is made up.

Dateline Lincoln Park:

So it was Oscar night in Tinsel Town. Oscar, Schmosker. In Lincoln Park the real action took place at a pre-Oscar party thrown by none other than former Hollywood uber agent, Gwendolyn Monk, spouse of Spencer Hilton.

Estranged spouse from the bark of it.

When his onetime cratemate and longtime love, supermodel Lily Hilton, showed up outside Poppa Poochie's, a fave hangout for local celebs, wannabes, and a motley crew of yippy mutts, Spencer left his Chipmunk chippie stranded in the snow, while he bolted across the parking lot and Dr. Zhivagoed Lily just as she was padding out of her limousine.

"You are The Queen of my heart!" he declared, and went for her neck.

Lily's adopted son, Digby the demon, held off panting and gawking mobs of sightseers (along with two of Lily's hefty Rottweiler bodyguards), while Spencer gave the beautiful bitch a neck bite to be remembered From Here to Eternity.

He then cast himself at her paws, and howled the theme from the Dogfather.

"I've never seen anything like it," remarked Princess Doily, a four-month-old Jack Russell. "Of course, at sixteen weeks, I haven't had a lot of hot carnal experience. But I have seen Gone With the Wind, and that neck bite revved my motor almost as much as Rhett Beagle's march up the staircase with Scarlett Otterhound in his forepaws."

"I've never HEARD anything like it," commented Aki, a five-month-old Lab. "He sounded like Melissa Etheridge with laryngitis."

"I thought Spencer's grand gesture was lovely," opined Buck, a Rottweiler mix. "I'm a sentimental kind of guy, and I'd like to see that dog get his bitch back. My favorite movie of all time is An Affair to Remember. It didn't win an Oscar for best picture, but it should have. Cary Greyhound was wonderful as the reformed playpup, and I yelped my eyes out when Deborah Cur got whacked by a car in front of the Empire State Building."

Story continued...

"Lily leads such a fascinating life," gushed Mindy, a three-year-old Dachshund. "She gets kidnapped by royalty, possessed by a handsome demon, and now she's got Spencer vowing his undying love for her. I wish my life could be more like that."

"What do you mean?" asked her companion, a slightly older hound blend named Candy. "Remember the time you got stalked by your Cousin Vinny's weird friend?"

"The one with the retractable leash fetish? Oh, right. Like he was a real Oscar winner!"

Leaving the party at Poppa Poochie's behind them, Lily and Spencer got into her limo, and without so much as a backward snuffle, drove off into the sunset.

"It's so beautiful...so Hollywood," sighed Princess Doily, nipping a startled Buck, who nonetheless got into the play position pronto.

Time to run the credits?

Well, yeah, save for the little matter of a spurned chipmunk, seen, as it happens, shortly thereafter, skittering across the snow, heading for the airport.

"No planes are taking off tonight," Ms. Monk was informed by PLPI personnel, but Ms. Monk would not take no for an answer.

"She made a call on her cell, and then took off on the back of Hyacinth the Goose," an airport official told us, as we thumped into the terminal in our snowshoes. "The attorney general has sent the Lincoln Park Air Force after her."

WHAT?!

"Something to do with pear blossoms," she said.

Wow. Gwendolyn Monk must be feeling as low as Leonardo DiCaprio about now.

You think?

Dateline Lincoln Park:

Poppa Poochie's was full-up tonight, as March roared in like a lion cub, and a world-famous set of whiskers, connected to the muzzle of a top celebrity dog, caught the attention of one of the barmaids, a 'bitch incognito' for LuLu's blog...

"Hi, bang 'em and shag 'em," I said, plopping my tush down on a stool next to the one Moxie Rothschild and Roquefort was spinning himself around on. "I was waiting for the dog of my dreams, but you blew him right off the blanket."

"That's a terrible pickup line," Moxie informed me. "Besides, you're too cute to be the pickerupper instead of the pickeree, or you would be if you got a decent haircut. It's not often that you see a Bichon Frise with a mohawk."

"I'm not exactly a slave to fashion," I admitted. "You here alone?"

"He came here to meet me," said a deep canine voice, and I turned to find myself facing the bedroom eyes of Spencer Hilton, former cratemate of Lily, and the current husband of Hollywood agent and Lincoln Park fugitive, Gwendolyn Monk.

"Sorry," I apologized. "I didn't realize you two had a thing going. Believe me, I won't say a word to the National Nose, not even if the editor of that tabloid offers me a million bowsers."

"We're not having an affair," snapped Spencer. "Moxie is my stepson, in a manner of barking."

"So sorry," I apologized again with all the sincerity of an Oscar winner reading from her notes, and padded down to the end of the bar, where I shamelessly eavesdropped on the rest of their conversation.

"So you're the mutt my mother used to live with?" said Moxie. "You don't look like much to me."

"And you're Lily's whelp by a French duke?" growled Spencer. "I might say the same for you, kid."

They both ordered dogwood juice and tonic water. No ice cubes. Al dente.

Story continued below....

Story continued...

"Let's not argue," said Moxie, after a few potent sips. "Have you got any idea why my mother hates me so much?"

"I don't think she hates you at all," Spencer told him. "She never even mentions you."

Moxie lapped his dogwood juice. "That's even worse."

"Well, how about me?" arfed Spencer. "I'm nuts about Lily. I realize I've done some pretty stupid things to screw up our relationship, like getting a sex-change operation, although that was only pretend - running off to become a movie star, and not emailing her for over a year. But we're all entitled to a few mistakes."

"Aren't you tether-tied to Gwendolyn Monk?" Moxie asked him.

Spencer inhaled his bowl of dogwood juice and ordered another one. "I'm going to try to get out of that mess as fast as possible. She's a chipmunk, for Dog's sake! I don't know what came over me. Anyway, she's fled the area. With any luck, I'll find her name on a road-kill list."

"You're a sensitive kind of spaniel, aren't you?"

"Listen, kid, I've seen too much in my time to be sensitive. I poured my heart out to your mother the other night, but when we got back to her place, she kicked me out of the pen. She's not willing to forgive me, you see?"

"You she won't forgive and me she can't remember," sighed Moxie.

For a moment I lost the thread of their conversation, because the fat mutt who's the new bartender tried to look up under my tail and I snapped at him.

"That'll cost you in tips, girlie."

"Not if I tell everyone who reads LuLu's blog that you're a deer tick carrier, creep."

He growled but padded off to mangle a martini bone.

The door opened and that cute Sammy Chan, Lincoln Park's new attorney general, padded in looking lower than Wednesday's stock market.

"I'll have two of what these gentlemen are having," Sammy told the fat mutt.

"You looked like a whipped human," observed Moxie.

"My grandmother's in town," said Sammy.

Spencer looked him over curiously. "So what's wrong with that? Grannys are fun to hang out with aren't they?"

Sammy Chan rolled his large, dark Pekingese eyes. "I would rather spend time with the Maine Monster Dog."

"Hey!" I barked. "You're in luck. The Maine Monster Dog's got his muzzle plastered on You Tube." (OK, I know; I look for love in all the wrong places.)

The three males ignored me.

The fat mutt sidled over. "I'm telling you, doll dog, a bitch wears her hair like you do and has a prong collar tattooed on her rump, she ain't gonna get a lotta offers from yippie males."

"Eat cat puke and die," I tell him. Like I'm going to get a tattoo of a gentle lead or something?

Developing --- maybe something with Sammy Chan? A Bichon and a Pekingese? Not a bad combo. And I MIGHT let my hair grow out a little.
