Lola the Greyhound Gets 3rd Place
The rescue organization that we got Lola from has an annual party with contests and whatnot. Lola was entered into both the costume contest and the fastest dog contest.
The Costume: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1207172783.jpg As you can see, she looks right at home dressed as a prisoner. Unfortunately, they don't take kindly to prisoners at the dog park and she was sent back to jail prizeless. :D Onto the fastest dog competition: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1207172931.jpg Lola got 3rd prize! I was suprised, because I have seen her run MUCH faster, but with all of the commotion around she didn't give it her all. She was clocked at 31mph with a radar. For a prize, I bid on an authentic racing jacket for her at their silent auction and won it. She likes it: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1207173083.jpg Finally back home, where she does what she truly excels at: stealing my seat on the couch, and getting into bed with me and pushing me out. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1207173151.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1207173182.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1207173201.jpg |
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (the racing bib doesn't give her shell shock?) ;)

Nah- I am pretty sure she liked to run- she pranced around with the jacket on. I think she realized she got a prize... conceited little dog :p

Good for Lola!
Even better on you. I'll never have a "good" dog, mine will come from a shelter, the pound, or a rescue service like Lola. Too many good little hearts never get a chance. The two I have now were destined to be put down, but they have given me quite a few great years. A few moments when I wanted to pull my hair out too, but that's one of the charms isn't it? Give Lola a big scratch on the noggin for me. |
cool

I wish I could claim to have had altruistic intentions when I got Lola, but we really just fell in love with her (and about 10 other greyhounds too).
I just wish I liked as many people as I do pets. |
