Lola and Jasmine


Lola is my German Shepherd. She has a slight Rot mix so she is a little small for a shepherd. I've been blessed to be able to keep her as part of my divorce settlement. However, my current living situation does not allow Lola to live with me. During my transition to a dog-friendly home I was in search of a foster home for Lola.

BTW, Lola was named after the Kinks song (L-O-L-A Lola), not the Barry Manilow song ("her name was Lola...").

As luck would have it I found a remarkable situation that allows me to see her every day. After weeks of asking everybody I could think of we found someone who actually lives within walking distance of where I live. "Bob" is an old Hollywood character actor whose career began in the 50's. He's been in so many movies and TV shows it boggles the mind. I recently saw an old "Adventures of Superman" episode that he was in!

Bob has a Lab-Terrier mix named Jasmine who recently lost her companion. The dogs bonded immediately and are now a true "pack". It's a win-win situation because I walk both dogs every day and that is something that Bob is not capable of doing for Jasmine. I feel very blessed how things have worked out.
