She was a showgirl.

This little ink-black fur-ball is Lola. The latest addition to our pack. 9 weeks old last Wednesday. Despite the color, she's a Golden Doodle. 3/4 poodle and 1/4 Golden Retriever. Back in the day, dogs like this were called mutts and you tried to give them away to the your friends. These days they're designer breeds that costa del fortuna. No expense spared here though; Finlay needed a pal! As I write, I'm listening to two dogs squeezing squeaky toys for all they're worth. My life appears to be complete. I think I'll get another beer.
