Dalai Lama (Dolly), our Lhasa Apso

(Palm Springs, CA)

Dolly came into our lives about three years ago. There was an ad in the local Palm Springs newspaper for a six-month old female Lasha Apso with tons of personality. She had so much personality, in fact, the elderly couple who had adopted her when she was a new-born puppy just couldn't keep up with her! She was ours from the very moment we put her in our car for the ride home.

We had Dolly for about a year when we also decided to adopt two children, ages 6 and 7. Today, Dolly watches after her two boys like any concerned mother would. They all roll around on the living room floor, on the beds, and outside in the yard like playtime will never end. Dolly is our little wonder dog. We could not imagine our lives without her!
