About Us

It’s been about a year since I retired, and honestly, most of my days now revolve around snapping photos of my little Shihpoo. We’ve had her for three years, but it still amazes me how clever she is. I actually started keeping a list of the words she understands—she’s up to 58 now, plus a couple of phrases. And she really is the definition of a lapdog. Out of all the dogs I’ve had (and there have been plenty), she easily has the brightest personality. Six months ago, I decided to start writing this book. Every time Lola did something that left me grinning or shaking my head in disbelief, I wrote it down. When it came time to actually piece the book together, it felt effortless—after all, the real Lola is always curled up at my side, supervising my work.
