Lola Bell Party


On any given Wednesday night in July (and into August) we could be found enjoying potent punch with our favorite pooches at Joe’s Sports Bar on Weed St. Recently, we helped celebrate the first birthday of Chicago’s self-proclaimed “Queen of the Dog Scene” Ms. Lola Bell.

Upon entering the large patio (ringed by recently filled water bowls), Lola’s guests were greeted by barker & meowsky’s own Paul Semper, who offered some delicious treats right off the bat. Then Ms. LB herself made sure to greet everyone personally with a polite sniff and the occasional kiss.

Always one to make a fashion statement Ms. Lola Bell changes a number of times throughout the evening. This reporter counted four different outfits, but must admit that he did take the time to blink occasionally, so may have missed one or two.

Everyone gathered to watch Lola Bell open her gifts and then the bone shaped canine-cake was served and devoured quickly. Guests raved about the cake’s deliciousness – though we can’t provide quotes, due to the large number talking with their mouths full.

Finally the moon rose and everyone, worn out from all the fun, was chauffeured home by their respective parents. A perfect time was had by all. This reporter has already reserved a spot for next years’ party. Many happy returns to Lula Bell from Gus, Casey and the whole gang at barker & meowsky.
