Introducing................ Hula

Here she is...Hula. Or Hula Bear, Hula Girl sometimes Hula Dog. She's as sweat as can be and perfect for our family. We wanted a dog but couldn't manage a puppy right now. We contacted the Greater Los Angeles Golden Retriever rescue and they found us a perfect match. Hula's previous owners (who had named her Emma) didn't want her anymore, as they didn't feel like she turned out to "look perfect". Golden retrievers usually have blocky heads and thicker, fuller fur and well, Hula doesn't really have those characteristics. Not like we give a rats ass....she's perfect for us. It's amazing how shallow people can be. The picture above is "the girls" settling in to watch The Little Mermaid.

Emma needed about two days to warm up to Hula. The problem is that Hula is the same heigth as Emma and all the "dog kisses" go directly on Emma's face....she's not real happy about that. After awhile Emma warmed up to her new best friend.

A stare down between the mutt and the ball.
