We’ve had some recent bouts of rain, which make our own dog Chick very grumpy, but don’t ruffle Lollie’s feathers in the least. She bulldozes puddles as though they didn’t exist, and downpours barely make her blink an eye, even when a rain drop falls into it.

And rain drops do fall into her eyes, because even during rain showers, she is keeping her constant squirrel vigil. She just hasn’t figured out yet that the fuzzy little tree rodents cleverly stay indoors when it’s wet.

Last week we revealed that the pretty lighting in many of Lollie’s portraits is actually the glow of her personal TV on her face– the dining room windows and their captivating display of running, leaping, and flying squirrels.

Unfortunately, over the past week or two Miss Lollie Wonderdog has started boldly getting too close to the TV, which may not be bad for her eyes, but probably is not great for our windowsills and the trinkets we leave laying around on them.

So tell us friends, how do we acquire less of this . . .

. . . and more of this?

Lollie Wonderdog complained that it had been a while since we posted the last video of her antics. And it’s true. To make up for lost time, we created three quickies last night. Aren’t we industrious?

Watch below to see Lollie do her best try at patiently sitting and waiting, morphing into a tigress who bounds after her prey (bunny-rabbit style), and closes out the evening with a nice relaxing “pet me headstand” and a belly rub.

If you have your volume up, you will hear her excited tail pounding against the side of her crate . . .

Note how she doesn’t run like a dog, but rather bounds like a bunny . . .

Have you ever seen a happier dog?

Living with Lollie day to day, we forget that not everybody knows the little things about her that are so nice. We have begun documenting the bigger things through our Adoptability series of posts, but little things sometimes go unmentioned in the blogosphere—like the fact that she sheds much less than her foster brother Chick and remains fresh-smelling weeks after a bath, when other dogs would be smelling of ripe fritos.

Recently, somebody asked us where she sleeps. This is another lovely little thing about Lollie. She is perfectly happy to sleep on our bed:

. . . or on the guest bed:

. . . or on her foster brother Chick’s bed:

. . . or just in my lap:

. . . but when it’s time for us to go to work or turn in for the night, all we have to say is “load up!” and Lollie trots happily into her crate to snuggle in.

It was important for us to make sure Lollie was properly crate trained, because a crate trained dog gives the adopter the full range of options for living and sleeping arrangements, easing the transition into a new home for all parties involved. This is another big advantage of adopting a foster dog!

This is the fifth in our regular series on what makes sweet Lollie Wonderdog so very adoptable. Although there are endless adoptability factors we could list, we are releasing these only occasionally so we don’t overwhelm you too much.

Lollie Wonderdog is not what you would call a fussy dog. She will eat anything, sit anywhere, go out in any weather without complaint, and let you handle her in any way you wish. Some dogs are particular about having their nails touched, their ears or tails pulled, or their bellies rubbed by the wrong person. Lollie’s attitude? “Bring it!”

So the other day, I sat her down in front of her TV (our dining room window) to demonstrate how unthrilling it is to have her paws and nails messed with:

and her lips pulled:

and also her ears yanked:

Her reaction is very similar to being picked up, having her tail pulled, or when the dogtor puts a thermometer in her butt (fortunately not pictured here).

In fact, she is so willing and tolerant that she will even let you dress her in human clothes– whether those clothes happen to be a Peruvian winter hat:

Or a nice brown shawl from India:

What more could you ask for in a dog?

We had an exciting snow storm last night (it was the first time I had heard the term “thundersnow” used) that left us with about six inches of chunky, snowcone like white stuff on the ground this morning. On our morning walk with the dogs, Lollie Wonderdog was extra frisky. She was bounding about like a little pup and acting extra curious about everything.

As we walked and admired the pretty snow in the trees, fosterdad and I were noticing how very yellow our ordinarily white-seeming dogs looked, compared to the stark, cold white of the snow. Even when they are newly washed (which, admittedly, they are not right now), they seem a little creamy when it’s snowy out.

Will dear foster Lollie Wonderdog have an identity crisis if we start calling her “brindle and cream” instead of “brindle and white”?
