It was when you mentioned thunder I guessed Lola was a dog, but prior to that I thought it was a woman involved in a menage a trois. An entertaining read.

I thought you were talking about a person until I got to the very end of your story. Quite a story with a twist at the end. Puppies are definitely cute; so glad that you got to choose.

This story, Lola, is well done to divert the reader from picking up on the identity of Lola until further into the brief tale. Funny.

I just loved this I started out thinking it was a pet then as it went on I started doubting it especially when Lola spent the night in dads bedroom all night when mum went to spend the night with grandma. So what a great build up to good finale Great stuff well done. Kooky.

This is a terrific posting, Jerry and should do very well in the contest. Sigh I actually remember that song way back in 1955 that was written for a Broadway play. (I had to google it to learn more because I was just in the sixth grade at the time.) Sarah Vaughan had the popular version that was so sexy. Best wishes in the contest, my friend.

Thank goodness I have one six for the week left. Jerry, this is is fabulous--well-written, properly suspenseful (thanks, in part, to the sexual content warning), clever and--well, just totally enjoyable.

I enjoyed this cute little story about Lola and family. At first, it seemed misleading because Lola sounded like a loose woman who played the field. However, when the twist was cleverly revealed at the end, she turned out to be a Mama dog having puppies. You weaved that unexpected twist in there so skillfully. Your descriptions of the events were vivid and memorable. Great job!

This is a cute story that is going to garner a lot of votes because of the clever misdirection. I especially like your opening paragraph with the mention of the classic song. Rod

I enjoyed reading and reviewing your contest entry. You did a good job with it. You grabbed readers' attention with the first 2 lines. As I read, I kept thinking Lola was a woman. Then. . .
Best Wishes.
Respectfully, Jan
