Lola

My sister Min has a dog that she has had for 4 years or so. Her name is Lola. She is not a showgirl but a bitch nonetheless. Lola is a lovely black lab / chow mix, though she appears more lab than chow. Min thinks she is French because of her name (which was inherited but not given by Min) and also because she eats cheese that is wrapped in red wax. Lola is not motivated by people food or dog biscuits, going so far as to collect the biscuits in a neat pile instead of consuming them shamelessly. She loves to play and run around instead, which I think confuses Min and everything that she deems is truth in life. Lola can be construed as somewhat delicate and barks infrequently. She is quiet as a mouse. She doesn't domineer the room or the conversation as other dogs (like Sheba or Garrett) and I think Min sometimes misses that boisterous presence. Min has a Jackie Kennedy dog.
