Our Rhodesian Ridgeback Lola has recently celebrated her first birthday! We acquired Lola from a breeder in South Dakota after weeks of research about her breed and purchasing options. We made the 8 hour trip to bring her home last April where we would meet the Amish family that raised she and her brothers and sisters. The father and daughter met us a local park and brought us our Lola ("Serene" at the time). The daughter explained that Lola was her favorite of the litter because of her calm, gentle, and loyal personality. It only took about a week before we realized those first two traits were no where to be found in our puppy!
Lola in her first year with us has caused us several pairs of shoes, scarves, pieces of furniture, and throw pillows - but most importantly she has brought us laughs, a running partner, cuddles, licks, hugs, and many, many stories to share!
We have found her to be one of our favorite subjects to take photos of. Whether it be capturing her chasing squires and sticks in the backyard or cuddling on the couch, her little face is sure to bring us a smile even in the worst of days. We've inquired with Lola's Breeder parents about their next litter. There isn't a new batch of ridgies in their future yet...but we're on the list for when that time comes
