Where does one begin when it comes to writing about a creature that closely resembles some strange creature from another planet? Big bulbous protruding eyes, an almost completely flat nose with two tiny slits for nostrils. A long, curly tongue that tends to flop out at the most inopportune moments. Tiny rosebud ears that hang rather daintily on either side of her deeply wrinkled face. Throw in a couple of strange black moles on both cheeks, and a few scraggly whiskers, and the alien picture is complete. Of course that is just her head! I would be extremely remiss if I didn't mention Lulu's barrel like body, and her short knobby legs accented by a curly cue tail scrunched tightly against her back. Now perhaps you can form a picture in your mind of this quirky little alien-like creature.
It just so happens that such a strange creature has taken up residence in my home. Perhaps it would be more honest to state that she has invaded my home on every level. I dare not refer to her as my pet, lest she take offense with me. Of course Lulu has no such problem thinking of me as her pet! By now you may be wondering two things: Firstly, how did this poor fellow wind up with such an exotic, somewhat frightening looking beast in his home? And secondly, does the said fellow actually have a point in his story, and if so, when will he get to it?
Of course dear reader I can feel your pain, but please bear with me. Relaying information about such a complicated, incredibly deep subject as Lulu the Pug does take not merely time, but considerable effort as well. In fact, that is pretty much what this crazy blog
is all about. With Lulu's kind permission I shall attempt to portray my life with for lack of a better word, a small dog-person. Yes, it may get tedious at times, but if you stick with it you may discover some amazing things. You may even decide to venture on a personal quest in search of your very own resident alien pug!
