The Real Lola

After about two months of slow suggestion and mentioning the issue to my wife, she finally gave in! Last Thursday, we drove out into the country toward Graham, NC and picked up what has quickly become the 4th member of our family.


Lola, is a Black and Tan Coonhound mixed with a Walker Hound. When we got her she was 7 weeks old and about 10 lbs. Her birthday is Dec. 31, one of the last puppies born in 2008.


Our main reason for getting her is to be a playmate and company for Dakota (see earlier posts) our Black and Tan Coonhound mixed with a Plot Hound (NC state dog). Next school year, we will be very busy working and will have less time for our animals, but this way they'll keep each other company. Plus I just wanted another puppy!


She's becoming fast friends with Dakota; however, when they play Dakota still overwhelms Lola with her size.









I can easily foresee them becoming inseparable.


Her markings are strikingly similar to Dakota's, which is okay with me, because Dakota is one of the prettiest most elegant dogs I've seen...at least for a mutt.
