We Honesty Can Look After Your Dog

I’m so glad that Genevieve get’s the ‘Charlie and Lola’ humour, because it appeals to me and I always get a kick out of reading the little narratives.  

At the moment we are reading ‘We Honestly Can Look After Your Dog’.  It’s all about Lola going through a stage of loving dogs and wanting a dog of her own.  Of course, her much obliging older brother, Charlie, is her substitute dog, as her parents have told Lola that their apartment is too small and Lola is too young to look after a dog. 

Lola get’s lucky when she visits the park with Charlie, her best friend Lotta, and Charlie’s friend Marv – who brings his cute little dachshund, Sizzle.   After much persuasion, and promising – or as Lotta says “honestly and promisedly’, Marv lets the girls look after Sizzles on the promise that they don't let him off the lead – or give him chocolates, any kinds of sweets etc etc. Of course, following much excitement and arguing, Lola and Lotta manage to lose Sizzles. 

To top this, when they eventually find Sizzles – there is another identical dog – so now there are two Sizzles!
