Missing my Lola

Lola was a dog we had for nearly 4 years. She was killed by a car a year ago in October. She was my heart dog. My best friend. We were so close and did everything together. We went all over town together. When the nieces and nephews came over, she was the favorite to play with and she just loved the kids.

I'm missing her because I know how great she would be with baby. She would be protective, never let anyone hurt or take baby. She would be gentle and loving and be another momma to baby.

the little girls loved to take Lola for walks

Lola loved her kitties. Sure, she chased them. But she also loved them. She treated them like little puppies. Licking them and snuggling them. I know she would have been an amazing big sister.

I think Roader will be a great big brother. I think at times he will probably get jealous and mad, but for the most part I think he will be gentle and loving, instead of aloof and cranky.

Mona I'm not so sure about. I haven't seen her around kids yet. I really need to see her around kids. I have been working with her in the future nursery. She pretty much knows when we're in there, not matter what I'm doing, to go lay down on her mat in front of the little bookshelf and stay there. I have been working with her on no jumping, because she has a really bad habit of it. I work on her but then SO 'boxes' with her and gets her jumping and all worked up again..... not helpful. We still have about 4 months to work on things....

Ranger would have been a great big brother too. But Lola.... Lola would have been amazing. And I miss her so much. I would never have had to worry about her ever around baby. Mona I will have to watch like a hawk. Lola I could have let be and do whatever and have known she would be helping me take excellent care of baby.

happy go-lucky Ranger. who I also miss too much

There have been some losses this week. And I guess I'm just sad and hormonal all around. I saw a photo of Lola on Facebook this morning and it just made me miss her so much.
