Very fun!” http://twitter.com/rhomorjoy “love your site HILARIOUS!!!!!!!my husband is a musician so i get it-thanks for the laughs!!!!!!!!!!!” http://twitter.com/adrienneg314 I love what you've done. You've inspired me so!!! http://www.theredlipstickreporter.com/ Introducing:  LuLu!  LuLu is a beautiful little terrier mix who weighs in at about 13 pounds.  The vet thinks she is about 1 to 1-1/2 years old.  She was rescued from a neglectful and abusive situation but that hasn't changed her super sweet, loving personality.  LuLu gets along nicely with well-mannered children, dogs and cats although she can be a bit possessive of her food, toys and chews.   She is completely housebroken and loves long walks in the neighborhood as well as taking long naps and cuddling on the couch.  LuLu is also quite an organized little lady, she loves keeping all of her toys, chews and possessions neatly lined up on her bed.  She's a wonderful, happy dog and would be a fantastic addition to any dog loving home. LuLu is almost up to date on all of her inoculations (paid for and completed by the end of November) and has recently been spayed (sutures out on November 25th!).  LuLu is an indoor/outdoor dog but will require sleeping inside at night snug and safe and warm.  A home and yard check prior to adoption is also required to ensure that LuLu will continue to be safe and happy.
