Lola is 7yrs old, the bones in her legs never formed properly, meaning she has ongoing problems with her legs and hips. She is monitored regularly to deal with flare ups that affect her mobility.

Lola has had surgery to both elbows but  then developed further joint complications. Lola’s  specialists manage this with a cocktail of painkillers, weekly hydrotherapy, a controlled exercise regime and heat packs for when she gets stiff and starts limping. It is hoped this will be enough to avoid her having to have further surgery.

She did put up a bit of resistance to her medications Managing to eat the peanut butter coating and then spit the pills out. But this success was short lived.

She is  a bit of a princess and  sometimes uses her gorgeous looks and charm to get her own way.

Swimming is her passion – not only at the hydrotherapy pool but anywhere there’s a chance of a dip. Another favourite pastime is ball hunting.

Lola loves going on walks especially the woods. At bedtime she is ready for her carrot.
