Sold my couch and chair today. Lola was at first upset I covered the couch with a blanket after I cleaned it (trying to get most of her dog hair off). Then she got comfortable laying on the very soft blanket I'd spread there (but only AFTER I showed her it was OK to sit on). She dug around at it trying to fluff it up or something. She was pretty upset when the nice family came to take it away. I don't think she misses the chair much, but she liked to sleep on the couch while I do work. Oh well, I'll put some pillows down over there so she still has some place comfy to lay. Right now I've dragged my dresser out of my room so that in 20 minutes when the family I sold it to comes to get it, they don't need to go in my bedroom again and I can gate Lola in it. (The wife is afraid of dogs.)

Farmville
So, I'll admit, I play Farmville on Facebook. I was looking to see what this week's mystery prizes were, and I was surprised to see this:

| Unreleased Lobster Corgi for Farmville by Zynga. |
Apparently the animated version has the corgi wagging it's nub/lobster tail.

Lola HATES Light and Fraps
Lola indulging in some chocolate flakes if she can get them. She doesn't like being observed while having some chocolate.
FRAP!
Some weird light on the wall.
More weird light.

Showing the Apartment
Today, the first person to come look at the apartment to rent it after I move out came over. She was nice. Lola was very polite, got a little anxious when the lady walked back to the bedroom or any time I didn't keep myself between Lola and the woman. Not that Lola would ever try to attack or bite her, she was pretty happy to hang out in my lap or around my feet while the woman poked around.

Happy 3rd Birthday Lola!
 |
| What's going on? (Notice her back foot, it's actually sticking out to the side while her other drummie is straight back.) |
 |
| Oooh, a shiny new name tag with some bling, that way, no matter where I go, people will know I'm an LA girl. |

| Hurry and take the photo, I have a new toy to destroy in 3... 2... 1... |

Herding Instincts
There's a Texas BBQ around the corner from my apartment and they have a slightly smaller than lifesize cow statue that they put out when they're open. When Lola was a puppy she used to try to nip its heels. We haven't walked by it in a long time (we usually go for walks in the other direction where there's less traffic and it's quieter - more of a suburban neighborhood in the other direction), but I took her by the cow again for the first time in a long time and she still barked at it and tried to nip its heels. Haha, I'd love to see her with real cows (or sheep). Tomorrow the Bean turns the big THREE and will no longer be a puppy, though I doubt she'll act like an adult...
My parents got a new dog (a Parson Russell mix), they adopted him today (so we'll celebrate that as his birthday since we don't know when he was born), but he's about 7. He's black and white, my sister texted me a picture. His name is Satchamo, but I plan to call him Satchmo, and I think they're going to call him Satch. He seems to be well trained (yay!) and since my parents have another dog Sadie and my sister (who lives home) has a dog Abby (both PRTs), he'll be well socialized. I guess Sadie is "angry" there's a new dog and she's missing out on her 10 naps a day, lol. No conflicts, but I think Sadie is used to being the "new" dog and therefore the center of attention. It'll be CRAZY next month when Lola and I go back... granted, it's a nice size house, but 4 people and 4 dogs... I don't think there's enough room on the couch!
No walk today, tomorrow though for sure. We did a long walk yesterday (around 3 miles), and we'll do a long one tomorrow (maybe not quite the same route). Normally, I wouldn't consider 3 miles a long walk, but Lola's front left elbow didn't form 100% correctly. She walks fine on it, but when she's tired you can hear her joint crack (sort of like when you crack your knuckles - same sound). No walk today because it's still been cracking. Usually we only go 1.5-2 miles and every 4th day rest, but it's been cooler so Lola's wanted to go on longer walks. Still, I know that if her joint deteriorates more, it'll be a few thousand dollars for them to go in and repair it. Right now it's not bad enough for them to do it, but it'll happen eventually, I'm sure. I actually found out about it because I was trying to get Lola up to pace to go running with me, and I noticed that after runs her joint was always cracking all the time. So no more running for Lola. Now that we only walk, it doesn't always crack, luckily, but when it does after a night's sleep, I know we can't go for a walk that day. Poor Lola... But then again, she seems happy to laze about the apartment for the day anyway.
