Poor me

Well, I haven't been here in a while. After Mr. Chubbs died, I was very depressed for a day. Afterwards I was happy because I had all Mom's attention. Finally, it was all about me! I had the best month of my life, and then they brought home Henry. He seemed harmless at first but after a few weeks his alpha dog tendencies came out and he started pouncing on me AND took possession of the black couch I used to sit on. The nerve! But I must confess that sometimes I like it when he chases me up and down the hallway.

I wonder what this means

Lately, people look at me, shake their heads and then say, "Well, at least she's pretty." Should I be insulted?

Rest in Peace, Mr. Chubbs

Mr. Chubbs

Sadly, the acupuncture didn't work for Mr. Chubbs and he is having some bad health problems. He is now at the vet. I admit that I like to bite him and pounce on him and jump over him and take his toys and eat his food and...well, you get the idea. But it's kind of lonely without him and Mom is very sad. I hope he comes home soon; when he does, I will just bite him a tiny bit.

It's been a while

I haven't been keeping my diary up, but I've been very busy helping Mom with the new company and generally keeping her and the other humans on their toes. Over the summer, our dogsitter, Shawn, spent a lot of time trying to teach me a trick while Mom was away. She kept saying "Paw" and I was supposed to do something, but I wasn't sure what. So I just stared at her with my tongue hanging out. When Mom came home from her travels, she kept saying "Paw" to me, so I kept sitting and staring with my tongue out. One day we were all just hanging out and Mr. Chubbs walked by. Mom said, "Chubbs!" so I ran over to her and gave her my paw to shake. She told me I "have more tongue than brains." What's that about?! Mr. Chubbs hasn't been feeling very well lately, so Mom's been taking him to get acupuncture. The acupuncturist asked if he is obedient and after Mom thought about it, she said, "I don't know; I never ask him to do anything!" Mom wouldn't have to think about it with me; everyone knows I'm disobedient.

My company!

My mom finally set up my Web site at http://www.gigicaron.com . Okay, it's not MY Web site, but it's named after me. There's no picture of me on it yet, but this is just the first version of the site. When she does some more work on it, she is going to include my picture for sure!

The latest news

Mom only has a few days left at her job. On February she starts working full-time on the jewelry company she named for me! It's called Gigi Caron. Caron is the name of her human partner. Notice how my name comes first! It must be in honor of my many contributions to the world of fashion. I can't wait till mom doesn't have to go to the office early in the morning. Maybe she'll let me lay on the bed with her after dad goes to work.

Happy New Year

Mom and Dad brought people home after going out to dinner. I was cautious but then I came out and sat on one lady's lap. Later I growled at some people for no reason. A promising start to the new year.

Mom has a cold

Mom has been sick for five days. I like it because she stays home with me all day and once in a while I can steal a Kleenex from her and destroy it. Fun!

My evil plot against Dad

I did it again. Mom and Dad just got home from vacation and I was very excited to see them. Mom went to bed early and let me lie on the bed with her because I had missed her so much. A little devil whispered in my ear and told me, "Go pee on Dad's side of the bed so he will get angry, move out and you can be alone with your beloved Mom forever." That seemed like a great idea and I steathily put it into action. Mom didn't even wake up. Later on Dad came in and picked me up and put me in my crate. I laughed into my paws when he got into bed and laid down in the wet spot. He said some bad words. Mom still didn't wake up. She's a good sleeper. Dad has not moved out. I might have to come up with a new strategy. Sadly, Mom is not letting me nap on the bed with her now, even though I stand on my hind legs and beg and beg.
