smiley - snork Oh, no. Lola is very firm on the fact that she Does Not Like Snow. smiley - rofl At All.

It's, 'I will go for a walk once you have all cleared the sidewalks.' smiley - winkeye

Now, we had a Shih Tzu who adored snow. But Shorkies think it's the enemy. smiley - rofl

My eyes mist up sometimes when I see a dog. Those trailers for "Gone with the wind" almost had me in tears of love and joy.

Too much of this do is bundled up, though. How can I appreciate how great the dog when I can't see most of it? smiley - sadface

smiley - winkeye

Lola is a popular dog in the neighbourhood. Believe it or not, her fans give her outfits - which we are obliged to ensure that she's seen wearing.

For a five-pound dog, she has quite a wardrobe. Seeing her 'nude' (as Elektra puts it) doesn't happen in public much... she has t-shirts, Halloween costumes, raincoats, winter coats, boots she won't wear...

smiley - laugh Neither. But the Kinks' is more appealing to me than Gwen Verdon.

Also, I have horrible memories of being in that musical once. I get flashbacks whenever anybody sings 'You Gotta Have Heart'. The a/c went out in the theatre, it was June and in the South, and the Devil got drunk (at a Catholic church reception) and missed his cues...smiley - headhurts

You were lucky to be able to do that musical. smiley - smiley

Were you one of the actors, or a rehearsal pianist or other musician?

No, only a chorus actor in that one, thank goodness. I couldn't have stood to play it. smiley - rofl

I've thought of a third musical Lola, one that any singing bear would know about

I like the Carpenters. smiley - laugh Anybody who can turn a tv commercial jingle into a whole song is pretty creative.

Karen Carpenter was one of a kind. We will not see her like again.

How else can they get someone to build a birdhouse? You need a carpenter for that. smiley - smiley
