***For every comment* left on Love and a Six-Foot Leash posts from December 15th-December 31st 2010, we will donate one pound of high-quality dog food to Lollie’s sugar daddy, the Montgomery County Humane Society. Together, by spreading the word about adoptable Lollie Wonderdog, we can find her a forever home. We are up to 162 comments / pounds of food already!***

Friends of Lollie, you’re going to have to wait an extra day for her second open-forum Q&A session. Thank you to all who have submitted questions; she is working out her responses right now. It’s hard to hold a pen, you know, without opposable thumbs.

The reason for our delay is that something very cute happened last night and we wanted to write about it right away. I came home from work, and was delighted to find a package on our doorstep. It’s a holiday gift from Flash! (For those of you who don’t already know Flash, he is our neighbor’s lovely yellow lab and a key subject of Lollie’s affection.) 

It turns out that Flash, possibly with help from his human siblings, baked doggie treats for Lollie and Ty. Check out these dog biscuits and doggie “chocolates” made of carob (don’t worry, it’s dog-safe). Beautiful, right? 

Well as you can imagine, Lollie was thrilled to sniff this package. 

She could hardly contain her excitement, giving me The Look that Chick has taught her over the past few weeks. 

After a few minutes of posing with her present, she just couldn’t bear it any longer—check out her squirmy “mom, pleeeeeeeeease!!” look: 

Needless to say, she loved the treats. She sampled a cookie and a bit of the “chocolate,” and when I put it away to save for later, she sat by the cabinet for about 15 minutes, willing the door to open itself and present the treats to her once more. 

Thank you Flash, for your very thoughtful present!
