Meet Lola, the Queen of the Myrick family dogs. Lola is a 9 year old Golden Retriever adopted from Golden Creek Kennels. She was quite happy being the first and only child, but adjusted well when her sister Sophia was adopted. She did not adapt as well when her brother Buddy came along, but now that she is the undisputed champion in every contest against him, all is well. She was somewhat aloof for most of her life, but has become more loving as she grows older. Her affection for her sister Sophia is particularly sweet, especially acting to support Sophia at times when she literally needs a friend to lean on. Lola’s greatest accomplishment is being smarter than her parents, a fact she happily flaunts daily. Being smarter than us, almost everything we ask her to do is just plain wrong, and she prefers to do it her way instead. She is very well adjusted and enjoys attention from family members and strangers alike, but she definitely makes you work for it. An excellent guard dog, Lola is known for not wasting her barks; when she barks, there’s usually something odd going on. Her biggest pet peeve is being brushed. She does not enjoy it one bit and thinks it’s an evil to be avoided at all costs.
