Mom spent the whole day out yesterday and when she came home I sensed another dog on her. Yes, I did! Not a Cavalier or a Havanese! It reminded me of Mexican food. Spill the beans – where were you and just what were you doing?
Good sense of smell, Gigi. I was at a party for my mother. She turned 90! The dog you smelled belongs to Danny. She is a little Chihuahua. The cutest littlest thing I have ever seen. Her name is Chica. I called her Mama Chica! Seemed to fit her. I held her a lot. She was pretty scared of all the strange people.
Hold on...back up! Three things: First, you went to a party without me? Second, you have a mother? Third, she is 90? Do humans live that long? WOW, that makes her 630 years old in dog years!! I am awestruck! I am amazed! I never thought of you as having a mother!
Do you think I was hatched?
How many were in your litter?
Just me! Five years later my brother came along!
IT TOOK FIVE YEARS TO GET THE SECOND PUP OUT! Something is very wrong with your human system! Even an Mama elephant only takes 22 months!
Not to change the subject but would you like to see Claire? You would have to come to the dog show with me and Nico.
I am not going to a dog show! Would I have to stay in a crate? Will I need a bath? Just me and the Squirt? Let me think on it!
This is my life. My name is Gigi.

( 3 / 99 )I have been having these feelings. I don't understand them. Like the other day when I had my – well, let's just say it was a melt down – over Papa and Nico. Bit of an over reaction even for me – don't you think!
And Mom...I have been wanting to stay near her. She does give a good belly rub. When she goes out, I actually think I am missing her. I wait for her in Papa's office. When I see her I get all crazy inside. I bark at her (she just loves my ear piercing barks)until she picks me up! I just don't get it – I have never been a Mama's girl!
Heard Mom said that maybe I was hormonal! OMG! Can you die from that?
Thank goodness Aunt Sally taught me about a dictionary. I looked up the word. Well truth be told...I had Mom look up the word. My paws are not made for flipping through pages. I had to read it for myself! What Mom was saying could not be all true.
So, I may not die from being hormonal but it is possible I could kill someone when I have a hormone surge. Mom says the thought passed through her head a few hundred times!
I think I am in puberty! Things are changing in my body. Oh, Please tell me I am not going to need a training bra! I already have hair all over my body!
Mom says she understands how I feel. It is a woman thing. Says that could be why I want to be close to her lately.
And boys...lately, they haven't been such a nuisance...not all the time anyway. I like Simon but I am really seeing Nico - like for the first time. Nobody even better tell him that! I would just die! Mom says the less men know the better!
OK then there is the compulsion to hump Clarice...even I know that is really not a smart idea! Nobody humps Clarice and lives to tell about it. We may be buds and all...but she does not like to be humped...yet, even with her growling at me...I can't make myself stop. Mom tells me “NO”...I just give her my pathetic “I can't help myself” look...she still says “NO” - then she makes me get off her. All the while Clarice is looking over her shoulder at me with really wide, pissed off eyes.
It still is nice to have Papa pick me up and I lay my head on his chest. I like to sleep in with him in the morning. It is especially nice because if I sleep late enough, Mom brings me breakfast in bed. It's also nice to sit close to Mom with her hand on me. We don't even need to talk, we just are 'together'.
If this is growing up I am not sure I like it. Maybe I should talk to Bridget and Abigail. Moms says that in human years I am pretty close to their age. Mom is a bit of a dinosaur!
Pretty sure Bridget can explain “boys” to me! Maybe Abigail can help me understand my feelings! One minute I want to play with toys...the next I want Mom to paint my toenails!! I noticed hers are blue...I would like a rich red please!

( 3 / 101 )Papa is home. You were suppose to fix my hair and make me smell nice. What happen?
He loved me anyway. We had a long sit down talk. He said he did have a good time with Nico but I would always be his #1 little girl. I feel better. I was going to make him suffer a bit by ignoring him...but I just couldn't do it.
I ran right to him for hugs!
Actually, you ran 'first' to Nico. Gave him some lovin' then went to your Papa.
You saw that? Not important and I'll give you a cookie if you don't mention it to Papa!
Got to sit down with Nico too. OK, so maybe I did miss him – a little – not a lot mind you. He said I should try to look at things from his side. He missed being home. He likes to travel but not alone. He would really have liked it if I could have come to keep him company in the crate on the long trip back and forth. He really missed Simon. Papa is fun but he doesn't play like Simon does! He missed Mom too. He thinks he was pretty brave to go to a show by himself. Nobody to hold his paw to tell him he looked good.
He almost had me there for a minute! Oh Please...put on your big boy pants and deal with it!! That is so typical of a boy! He turned our whole conversation around to make it about him and his needs!! I gave him his five minutes of sympathy...now – get over it! He forgets that when I travel to a show – it is in Mom's lap! A crate? I think not!
The Squirt did OK. Papa had his picture taken. Guess it is only fair. I had my picture taken when I was a pup too. He took a Major Reserve. Mom says in a way that was good. Papa had such a winning streak that she was afraid to show him and lose. Since Papa lost one day...now Mom can show him. Well HALLELUJAH! It is about time you show him. Leave my Papa to me will you!
Nico and Mom are going to a place called Pasadena for a show next weekend. I am staying home with Papa. As it all should be!

( 3.1 / 111 )See this is just want happens when you give someone...some little someone an inch! HE TAKES A YARD!!
Nico, the little Squirt, went to a dog show with Papa...just him and Papa!! That is NOT following the rules!
The rule is that I go to every show that Nico goes to. Papa is suppose to show him then hand him off to Mom. That is the rule! What I want to know is just who said it was OK TO BREAK THE RULE!
OK so turn around if fair play....Papa, I am going to 'bond' with Mom the next few days! I am going to snuggle with her at night. I am going to let her rub my belly. I may even eat for her! Eat your heart out!
Gigi that is so not nice!
I KNOW it's not nice! I can't help myself! I am just so jealous!! Nico is with my Papa! My Papa!
I can't breathe, I feel a swoon coming on! Do too know what it means!
Do you need a hug?
This is my life. My pathetic miserable little life. My name is Gigi.

( 3 / 111 )Mom is dog sitting. What a crew we have here! Maggie, Joey and Reba came to visit for a few days. She says with all the times that Nikki and Dee have watched us...turn around was fair play! Mom thinks they are very well behaved and perhaps I should notice that more! What is that suppose to mean?
Here is my take on these guys! First, Maggie. She is a cavalier. Actually, she started this cavalier mess we live with here. Geez she must be older than dirt! She fits right in – according to Mom she even remembers her old laying down spots! That must make her younger than Mom...Mom forgets where she keeps putting her phone! She (Maggie not Mom) is a very good girl. Her and Charlie hang out together. Mom wants me to notice that she doesn't bark at every stinking little thing! She comes when you call her too. She eats all her food first time around. Me thinks there is a bit of 'brown nose' going around! Nobody comes when they are called and who eats without some incentives!
Then there is Reba...she is a strange little thing for sure. She is the smallest cavalier I have ever seen. She's even smaller than Nico - who has been trying to get her to play but she is playing hard to get. Typical man! Put a cute little thing in front of him and he forgets that I am around. Of course that does not bother me in the least. No, not in the least! Not at all.
Reba sure does love her food. She gets all excited and bounces around the kitchen while Mom is making us dinner. I tried to tell her we all will get to eat...stop making a fool of herself...but she says she is little and the big lady might forget that she is around. The big lady is Mom...Hear that Mom...you are the BIG lady! Can you spell diet?
We all think it is funny that every time Mom goes into the kitchen Reba gets up from a dead sleep to see if there are going to be any cookies coming her way. I tried to tell her that Mom does not hand out cookies!!
The first night Reba was here Mom learned a valuable lesson. When Reba is done with her food...like it takes half a nanosecond for her to devour it. Boy that girl needs to take lessons from me. She is small, she is cute...she could use that to her advantage! I need to teach her how to get her Mom to hand feed her and give her a variety of food! Then I can teach her.....OK, I'm shooting the rabbit!
So Mom learned that Reba needs to be put in Nico's pen to eat because when she is finished she starts to eat everybody food. She just sticks her head in their bowl. I don't think she even chews! And pray tell me why is she always winking at Nico. Little hussy!
Gigi, Reba isn't winking at Nico. She only has one eye! Someday I'll tell you the story of her life.
OK, sorry I accused her of winking. You better tell the Squirt. He thinks she likes him!
On to Joey. He is totally different than the rest of us. First off he is a monster! He must be at least six feet tall! Mom says he is a sheltie...he is suppose to be bigger than the rest of us. The Squirt loves him too. The Squirt loves everybody! That boy sees the world through rose colored glasses. He...OK OK shooting another rabbit!
Nico tries to get in his face to play, even stretching his neck all the way up...he only gets to under his chin. He tries to bark at him to get his attention. Seems Joey is very good at ignoring him. Squirt is not one to give up too easily - I know that from experience. He follows him around, runs circles around him. I feel for the big guy. Squirt can be a pain!
BTW, where is the Squirt and Papa?
Joey is pretty independent. He likes to sit outside. Mom says as long as it is cool out...he can do whatever he wants. Personally, I think he is hiding from Nico!
The first day they were here, Mom lost Joey and Maggie. Mom periodically counts dogs during the day. Just where does she think we are going to go? The yard is fenced...there is a gate on the front door...this place is like Ft Knox! Please!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven....seven...where are eight and nine.? Who are eight and nine? Maggie and Joey! How can we lose one of the biggest dogs!
They were just hiding behind the BBQ! Mom says it always amazes her...she can be looking and looking for someone, calling them...but then really Mom you are expect us to come when called? It is so much more fun to get behind you and just follow you. Personally, I love to drive her crazy like that!
Feeding time has changed while our company is here. Mom says everybody has so many medications she has to separate us all. We - that being the local we live here group - eat in the bedroom. Then Mom can concentrate on the company. Got to watch that Reba though...she will eat from any bowl that is not guarded! Heck...even if it is being guarded she just pushes her way into it. Since Joey has the most meds and eats the slowest she has to protect his bowl! Maggie and Reba go into Nico jail. Really it is his pen but I tell him he is in jail - so that is what we call it now.
Mom says they miss their moms. They should miss them. And they should punish them when they get home. I have been giving them pointers! I think Joey misses Dee the most. Maybe he is wandering around looking for her!
Maggie picked a crate that she likes. Reba sleeps in the same spot she slept in when she lived here. Reba lived here?
Joey wanders a lot. Mom thinks he slept outside last night! Glad no one decided to sleep in our bed...that could spell WAR. Bad enough I have to share with the resident cavaliers and for sure there is no room for a sheltie!
One thing our company didn't forget when they lived here...They ALL lived here? When Mom says, Who wants a bath? Everybody runs for the nearest open crate!
Oh yea one more thinG! Mom is in BIG trouble...she forgot to put the snood on Maggie!
I forgot one time...then I put snoods on both Maggie and Reba!
Whatever! I'm done but Maggie asked if they could all say something...I told her to make it short and sweet.
Maggie: I found a crate to protect myself from getting humped by Clarice.
Reba: I follow you into the kitchen because I KNOW my mom sent cookies and and I want one.
Joey: Where is my Mommy?
This is my life. My name is Gigi.
