Energetic and Cuddly Lulu Is Looking for Her Forever Home. And Those Adorable Ears!

Energetic and Cuddly Lulu Is Looking for Her Forever Home. And Those Adorable Ears!

LULU JUST CELEBRATED her sixth birthday, and she's hoping this is the year she finds her forever home! The 47-pound mixed breed is available for adoption from Friends for Life in the Heights.


Not much is known of Lulu's past before she was rescued from the streets and brought to Friends for Life. And she can be slow to warm up to people. But once you're in, you're in! The loving pup is very expressive, so you always know what's on her mind, and, what's usually on her mind are toys — and, she knows the name of many of her toys!

She also knows how to touch, sit and shake hands. Plus, she's house- and crate-trained. Lulu would mesh well with an energetic family that loves runs but that also loves cuddles on the couch after!

"We had a sleepover trial with Lulu and she was sweet, playful, cuddly, and man those ears were cute!" said a potential adopter. "Our older dog decided that she wanted to be the only dog, so it didn't work out. If we didn't have a grumpy senior, she would have made an amazing running and park partner!"

Lovable Lulu is six years old and ready for you!

Cute-animal-video fans might recall that, in 2019, Friends for Life Animal Rescue went viral online for a video of one of its cats repeatedly letting other cats out of their cages! So they know something about adorable pets.

Chef-owner Austin Waiter of The Marigold Club, now serving fried chicken and Champagne on Sunday nights.


IF YOUR SUNDAY nights could use a little sparkle—and a lot of fried chicken—The Marigold Club has just the thing. Starting May 25 at 5pm, the Montrose hotspot known for its playful mix of Southern charm and London polish is rolling out a new weekly tradition: Fried Chicken & Champagne Sundays.

This isn’t your average comfort food situation. We're talking a shareable fried chicken dinner for two, made with farm-raised birds from Deeply Rooted Ranch, and served alongside buttery whipped potatoes, minted peas, aged cheddar scones, and some over-the-top sauces — including a foie gras sauce supreme that’s as extra as it sounds.

HOUSTON BALLET’S 2025–2026 season opened in high style with a double celebration. After the curtain fell on Onegin — John Cranko’s tale of love and rejection — more than 220 patrons gathered on stage at the Wortham for the annual Opening Night Onstage Dinner, one of the company’s most anticipated traditions.

The evening paid special tribute to Jim Nelson. Nelson, who took the helm as Executive Director in 2012, guided the Ballet through the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and the challenges of COVID. During dinner, Nelson was honored with a proclamation from the City of Houston. Even Nelson’s mother attended and received a special shout-out during his dinner toast.
