Goodbye 2014

2014 has been a busy year. Mommy getting her shop ready, a lot of moving around, and finally opening of the shop. In one year so many things have happened, good and bad. Who knows what this next year will bring. 

Pebbles and I are celebrating tonight. We are saying goodbye to 2014 and hello to 2015. Wishing the best for everyone. 

Christmas Walk

Christmas morning driving to get mommy and Brian some tea and coffee to wake up.

We went on a Christmas walk on this beautiful day.

It was fun running around.

After our long Christmas, I am so tired. 

Merry Christmas!

It was a lot of fun being in the store with mommy.

We even got a family picture with Santa! 

Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for my health and family this year.

Scary Night

This is a tough blog. I'll start with the story. It was Friday night, at work with mommy. Old friends of ours came in and they brought the new addition to their family. I knew the owner and Tizzy, we played in the past. That night, I got to meet Tizzy's son Mac. Everything was going good. They got bath and then got to play. I even enjoyed the playing.

Me watching Tizzy and Mac. Well a little bit after that picture, we had a problem. Tizzy my old friend decided to come after me. Then her son Mac joined in. My mommy freaked and tried to get them off of me. It was the scariest night I ever been though. They are strong dogs. It took a lot for my mother to get them off of me. She finally did and their grandparents came to pick them up.

After the attack, mommy brought me to the vet. She notice this bite when we were at the shop. So she wanted me check over by a doctor. At the vet, before being seen, mommy found more and then more bites. They were bad. Mommy said  I was being so strong, and mommy was freaking out. They took me over night and sent mommy home. She said she couldn't sleep and I believe her. Once I was done with surgery, they called mommy and she speed to bring me home. That morning mommy brought me a blanket to lay on in the car. I was drowsy from medication so the ride I barely remember.

At home mommy took some pictures. I got two drains and stitches. The smaller bites the vet said would heal on their own. I remember eating and mommy gave me my medication. We slept together all day. Mommy wouldn't leave my side. It made me feel better having her with me.

By Saturday I was feeling better. I love laying on my back and it's very comfortable due to the drains and stitches being in awkward spots. I will probably be going to the vet tomorrow to get the drains removed. Then in about ten days get the stitches removed. Mommy said she never wants to leave my side. She's worried to let me play with anyone anymore. Even little dogs aren't allowed anymore. She might be over reacting but she loves me and wants me safe. A nightmare come true. Scary night.

Howl-o-ween Party

Happy Halloween!

Today is Halloween and also the Howl-o-ween Party at FURRocious. Pictures were taken and friends came, as well as, new friends. I dressed up as a Lil Devil.

Pebbles was the "Fun Police"

Lil Devil

Mommy and I have a little theme. She was Cruella Deville and I am her Lil Devil.

I got to play around with my friends.

Such a fun Halloween!

Not just a Pretty Face

I'm not just a pretty face to the company. Just because I am the mascot doesn't mean I don't do other work. I am a hard working poodle.

Beach before Work

Did I mention I get to enjoy the beach as much as I want? Life is so fun.

Pebbles and I got to run around the beach before work.

Meet Flower

An addition to the family happened tonight! Everyone meet Flower, a mini rex bunny. I think she looks a little like me, just tiny.

Exciting News!

Exciting news I been dying to tell everyone. My mommy just opened up a grooming shop, right on the beach in Hull, MA. Pebbles and I get to enjoy the beach as much as we want now. I wanted to keep the shop a surprise till it was finally open. The first day was the first, and through out the month of October, we will be here.

I got my nails done today and a mini grooming. I love having my own personal spa. This is going to be a lot of fun. FURRocious is finally here and I am proud of my mommy. Her dream came true of owning a grooming shop. And I am going to be a big part of it!

 

Topsfield Fair

Today was Pooch-A-Palooza. This year they had it at the Topsfield Fair grounds. A lot of people and dogs were there. It was a nice day.

Pebbles and I, walked around.

Love ya all!

Colorful

So I look awesome. Mommy gave me a bath today and cleaned me up. Also decided to make me colorful. I have some starts and stripes. Plus my name, Gigi.

My other side has some more strips. As well as paw prints and FURR, for FURRocious.

National Dog Day

Don't forget to appreciate the love in your life. It's National Dog Day!

Maine Mini Vacation

This month has started off very exciting. I went to Maine with my family on the first, and we came back yesterday.  My mommy had a friend's wedding to attend on 

 Saturday so we thought to turn the trip into a mini vacation. 

We stayed at the Fireside Inn in Portland and they gave me and Pebbles bowls at check in. Mommy and Brian got whoopie pies. Did you know Maine is famous for whoopie pies?

I found my favorite spot right away.

That night we went to visit mommy's friend Mandie (the bride). Mandie was having a cookout. We even got to spend time by a fire. Everyone was so friendly.  

On Saturday morning we went to Baxter Woods in Portland for a nice walk. It was beautiful with really tall trees.

Later Saturday was the wedding. Dogs weren't allowed at the wedding so mommy had to find a nice place for Pebbles and I to stay. It was our first time ever at a daycare. Mommy was very nervous leaving us with strangers. Mommy had a mini aniexty attack leaving us but the staff at The Doggie Cottage (in Scarborough, ME) was really nice. They were very helpful to us and we really appreciated the stay for the day. 

While we were at daycare we meet other dogs. Dogs from Maine are pretty cool.

The next day, Sunday, we went to Quarry Run Dog Park (also in Portland) to start the day off. This place was awesome. It was huge and plenty of dogs to play with. There was a small dog I played with mostly because she was almost at fast as me. Mommy tried to record us running but missed her chance. I loved this park. 

After we walked around Old Port Waterfront District in Portland. We found this adorable dog bakery. The owner was so sweet to us. She gave Pebbles and I free treats. Then mommy and Brian spoiled us with some yogart covered treats. Pebbles and I both got Mini Woofie Pies. I got a naughty squirrel treat and Pebbles got a cupcake one. 

During our walking around we stop at a restaurant that had outdoor seating and allowed Pebbles and I to join. We didn't get to try the food because it was people food but it smelled so good. 

That evening we visited Old Orchard Beach. There was a lot more walking around, even before we made it to the beach. Once we made it to the beach, we found a bench and relaxed for a bit.  

Pebbles, mommy and I at Old Orchard Beach.

Like I said we did a lot of walking that day. So I passed out on the way back to the hotel.

On Monday, we visited Portland Head Light which is also Fort Williams Park and Cape Elizabeth. Such a nice place.

Later, Brian wanted to get Pebbles and I new collars. So we found this little shop and Brian even got us matching leashes.

Monday night was our last night in Maine. Mommy really wanted to try lobster so we went to this really nice restaurant. Of course out door seating, mommy loves bringing us everywhere. Pebbles and I had our new collars and leashes on. People kept coming up to us saying how well behaved we were during dinner. I even tried to sneak a piece of lobster. It was a great way to end the trip. 

Finally, Tuesday morning we packed up our stuff and headed back home. I know I'm a lucky dog and really love my family.
