My weekend - by Lola

Penny got to post about her weekend (show-off!), so I wanted to say a little something about mine.

Friday night I ate a bee (we think) and my right jowl swelled up to the size of a ping pong ball. Mom gave me a big meatball and the swelling went away (it was laced with Benedryl). Saturday, she woke up and my left jowl was swollen. Yay! More meatballs for me!! Saturday afternoon my eye swelled...'nother meatball!! And Saturday night, my chin swelled...yep, 'nother meatball. She was all ready to take me on an adventure to the ER vet on Sunday, but I was fine. No more swelling for Lola. Da Diva is back!!



Mom did take this picture of my swollen jowls. Dad says he can't tell the difference b/c I'm pretty jowly to begin with, but take my word for it...I'm swelled (and doped up on Benedryl!).





Sunday, since I was all better, I got to graduate from Rally class. I was pretty excited (BAD) at the beginning but I settled down by the end & we did OK. I'm no Penny (no darlin'...you are not. Yet.), but I'll get there.



Here I am practicing my Sit Stays with distractions...my Pixburgh boyfriend Apache was there & I REALLY wanted to play with him!!! But I was good. See??



And here I am with my Grad-ee-a-shun pressie. Cookies!!!

Apache...I'll share my cookies!!!

Oh & I have to do the middle name tag. Here it is:

Special

Pretty

Rambuncious

Unbeliveably adorable

Total Diva

Now I tag Eddie & Peaches (and Bella too) and Sitka.

Oh ha roo! Poor sweet Lola! Are you OK now?!?! That whole "swelling" thing sounds horrible! It would have scared the dickens out of my mom!
Did you eat that pink collar thingie at all? Or is that just a Sibe thing?
Play bows,

Mike and Mati said...

So all we have to do is pretend to have swelling to get meatballs? Yummy! And wow! You did good with your sit stay, I especially like the way you hold your leash on the ground - it's very artistic. Congrats! Love Rocky and Mati

Stanley said...

Lola!!

I'm sorry about the swelling, but you are stinkin' cute when you're all hopped up on Benadryl. I think I have to deal with the same guy you do - Mr. Al Urgees. Hate those buzzy buzzy bees.

Congratulations on your gradu me Ation!! Just how many boyfriends do YOU have Miss Smarty Pants??

Goober love,
Stanley

Hi-yip-woo Lola,
Meatballs sound yummy, what are they? I eat so fast that sometimes I don't even taste what I am eating. I'm glad you are feeling better. I guess bees aren't good to eat or chase. Mommy yells at me when I chase & snap at flying things. Got to stay away from those bees.

Hi Lola,

I've never heard about that kind of meatballs, but if you like it, then it must be yummy. Bees stings are painful. Sista got stung by bees when she was little and she hates them till now. Haha.

Snuggle,
Precious

Tadpole said...

Oh my BFF Lola Sprout Beyonce!!! You graduated?! I've never graduated from anything in my entire life! I'm so proud of you!!! And how nice of you to want to share with Apache! :-)

I'm so glad you're feeling better. I'm so glad you got meatballs, too! All I get when stuff like that happens to me is a hand shoved down my throat with some kind of medicine in it. Blech.

Unknown said...

This is a message for Ferndoggle. This is Stanley's nomss friend, Henry the Cat. I WOULD NOT taste good with a side of barbecue sauce. I repeat, I WOULD NOT taste good with a side of barbecue sauce. Please do not eat me. I have a lot of kitty friends, some of us even have claws and we know how to use them!

Lizzy said...

I'm glad all the swelling's down now. But you must have been very happy to get the meatballs! I've eaten bees before too, but they've never effected me... yet...

Luckie Girl said...

Hey Lola,
Were the meatballs good? hehe.... I hope you totally digested the nasty bee by now. Please don't try that again okay? Bees don't like to be eaten....

Jessica said...

Oh Lola....Those jowls are the cutest swollen or not swollen. And stay away from bees. That can be nasty stuff.

Yea, you graduated!! And got cookies too. What a great Mommy you have to take you to "get smart classes". My Mom never took us to those classes.

Love, Seadra and Zoe

Bella the Boxer said...

Hiya Lola...a big 'ol bad bee got me on the paw today - but I didn't get any meatballs out of the deal! I'm going to have to have a talk with my Mom. Glad you are feeling better.
