So no doubt I&#8217;ll hear more about Lola and maybe there will be more pics of her. This one is pretty cute but I would love more.\u00a0Pen pals are great now that the world turns on a few vibes in the air that connect practically every corner of our earth with another corner, so if any of you doggies or kitties out there wish to leave a sage comment on the state of the planet, feel free.\u00a0After having read the letter, I started singing, &#8220;Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets\u2026lalala&#8221; and I think that&#8217;s right on the money with this doggy!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pppre.s3.amazonaws.com\/29755eda54d7a9d4\/47ed2a07f9f949ac9f90d9db7591df92.jpg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>No, I am not putting my &#8216;foot&#8217; in my mouth&#8211;I&#8217;m cleaning up to meet Lola&#8217;s family!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(And I don&#8217;t mean pen as in those places you keep chickens and doggies and such.
