Getting Lola a dog

 Lola is one of my dear sweet customers- who I've adopted as my "Grandma" out here.

Recently she lost her best friend of 15 years- Shania, to the sad time of old age. She was heartbroken. And her dog was the only 'family' she has out here. 

So after a month of hunting, negotiating, and planning- I was able to track down a dog of the same breed and gender- who was old enough to be out of that puppy stage, and bring some joy back in Lola's life.

It took a literal village to get her here! I had to find the dog (from a guy in Northern Utah) And my sister Harley had to pick it up, with the supervison and security of my Uncle Dillions sister who went out of her way to make sure that my sister wasn't meeting a stranger alone. Then Harley drove 3 hours to get the dog to my parents. Who took care of it for a week and then drove 8 hours to WY to meet me half way! We spent the night and had dinner together and hung out. And then I drove the 8 hours back to deliver her here. I am so grateful that I have people in my life who are willing to do things and go out of their way to help me help someone like this. And Im so happy we were able to do accomplish this for Lola, I truly believe this has made a huge difference for her.
