New York Musician Sets Up A Blind Date With A Rescue Dog And Discovers Exactly What Her Heart Needs
Musician Jessie sat down for a special blind date with a sweet adoptable dog named Lola, using music and games to help her shine for potential adopters.
A Very Special Blind Date
First dates can be nerve-wracking for anyone, but New York musician Jessie was determined to make this one perfect.
He sat in a quiet room, gently strumming a tune on his guitar as he waited for his highly anticipated guest to arrive.
His date for the day was Lola, a beautiful, sweet-natured rescue dog who was looking for her forever home.
When Lola finally trotted into the room, Jessie was immediately smitten, calling it “love at first sight.”
Skipping the Daisies
Wanting to make a good first impression, Jessie offered the sweet pup a beautiful bouquet of roses.
Lola, however, was far more interested in exploring her new surroundings than accepting the floral arrangement.
Jessie laughed off the gentle rejection, joking that he probably should have gone with daisies instead.
Realizing he needed a different approach to win her over, he decided to bring out a game to help them break the ice.
Getting to Know a Fancy Girl
To learn more about Lola’s personality, Jessie set up a fun, dog-friendly version of “spin the bottle.”
The game involved choosing between two boxes to reveal Lola’s preferences for her ideal lifestyle.
When given the choice between designer gear and athleisure, Lola confidently went for the designer option.
She then chose country roads over city life, prompting Jessie to playfully declare her a “designer country girl.”
Soundtrack for a Second Chance
As they bonded, the conversation naturally turned to Jessie’s upcoming “Waitlist” music tour.
He explained that the tour, starting in Washington D.C., was all about the feeling of moving forward and letting go of the past.
It was a fitting theme for a rescue dog like Lola, who was also waiting for her chance to move forward into a bright new chapter.
Jessie noted that his new music was perfect for listening to in a convertible with the windows down—and perhaps with a dog like Lola riding in the front seat.
Planning the Perfect Evening
The game continued, revealing even more about Lola’s refined tastes.
When asked to choose between a five-star restaurant with champagne or a movie theater with popcorn, Lola gravitated toward the champagne.
Jessie wasn’t surprised, noting that the “fancy girl” knew exactly what she wanted.
He shared that his own ideal date involved packing a picnic blanket, wine, and a cheese board for dog-friendly outdoor movie nights at the Hollywood Cemetery in LA.
Studio Life and Family Ties
When the game asked about love languages, Lola proved she was a “gifts girl” who also deeply appreciated physical touch and snuggles.
Jessie understood the need for closeness, sharing that his own dog loves to be right by his or his wife Katie’s side, even in the recording studio.
Though his dog occasionally interrupts vocal takes by barking at squirrels, Jessie wouldn’t have it any other way.
He even makes sure to bring photos of his dog and his newborn son, Archie, to decorate his tour bunk when he’s on the road.
A Custom Serenade
For the final box, Lola chose a “cozy night in” over a road trip, proving she was ready to settle down in a comfortable home.
To cap off their wonderful date, Jessie revealed one final, heartfelt surprise he had prepared just for her.
He picked up his guitar and sang a special song he had written specifically for Lola.
He sang about how a wagging tail and a dog jumping into his lap felt like fate, bringing a sweet, melodic end to their time together.
Ready for Her Real True Love
Though Lola might have wanted Jessie to tweak his lyrics just a bit, she clearly enjoyed the serenade and the gentle attention.
Jessie was amazed by how quickly she had opened up, noting that it only took about 20 minutes for her to completely warm up to him.
He shared that she would be an incredible addition to a family with kids, or simply for someone who really needs a loyal friend.
Knowing that dogs are only with us for a short time, Jessie hoped Lola would soon find an adopter ready to give her the world she truly deserves.
