My Girlfriends new dog

Her name is Lola.  Not a trans"gender", we just like the name.  She is a Yr 1/2, Beagle/Spaniel mix, and is awesome.  She weighs about 21 lbs, and looks like a Retriever/Lab puppy, but is in fact fully grown. 

   We have gotten through the first weekend with her.  She has pooped twice, and only peed about 4 times-one of which was in my parents house!  LOLA!  That was her first really big mishap.  She has actually been very good this weekend other than that.   This morning was probably the most eventful day with her new family.  She and I got up this morning, and walked around the lake down by the house.  I think it was a good mile walk, maybe more.  when we got about 3/4 of the way around we crossed a bridge that took us out to a little island in the lake, and were VERY close to the ducks, and geese.  Lola, being part beagle-LOVED this!  She would watch them swim, watch them fly, then when they came in for a landing close to where we were she watched them the entire way.  It was a hilarious sight!  

   When Charity got home from school we took her to the vet, and scoped it out(Charity seemed to like them.  Lola on the other hand...not a fan of them sticking things up her butt)  and the vet answered any questions we had.  She was very helpful, and we're very grateful.  

   Since we were so close to my folks house, we decided to go show her off.  and like Charity's family, and our friends yesterday, they LOVED her!  This is where the "Infamous" pee incident happened.  LOLA!  After all that commotion, we went outside, and Lola, for the first time since we've had her, got to run free outside.  she LOVED it!  I think she must have sniffed every inch of the back yard.  We got a small Nerf football from downstairs and played fetch.  GOOD TIMES!!!!!  The cats(and by CATS of course I mean Kit) however were NOT amused by her visit.    All in all, a great first weekend with the new dog!
