Comparison.

I can't help it, hehehe... Look how much our beautiful baby grew >///< ♥

Playing with Gigi

Tonight, after swapping a fly and scaring Gigi, Krysten, Catherine, and I quickly started playing with Gigi to not give her enough time to be frightened. We got her hyper and here's a little video of her silliness. :)

Mufasa pose. <3


Play bowing. But with some trippy eyes. XD

Gigi weekend.

The past weekend, I got to go visit Gigi-bear!

...And I miss her already. Again. Hehe. Did I mention Sunday morning she was so excited to go to the dog park, she came up when I was still asleep and walked all over my face? 8D



At the dog park sparring with another fellow corgi named Buddy. ♥ I love how they tumble and roll so swiftly for recovery XD This is the first I've seen of Gigi being this confident in the dog park. I was so amazed how she matured from the timid puppy to this bouncy girl. She's also much more excited to play with dogs now than go greet random people, as if she now recognizes who are her "family" people and who are strangers.

Below are images taken on my phone:

Her happy-anticipating-snacks corgi smile! Dawwwwwwwww ♥
Who can resist?!

Gigi being so comfy on the new sheet we gave her.

She looked so sad when we were leaving! :( We miss you too, Gigi-bear.

Bath, fur

This morning, Gigi ran into a puddle of mud and got herself all dirty. :( She looked so silly, running in the mud all happy-go-lucky. So, I decided today will be major clean up day. Me and Catherine mopped the house and gave Gigi a bath! She's all clean now!

A lot of flies got into the house today, so I was constantly smacking something with a book. But apparently, Gigi doesn't like that sound. At all. She acts like we hit her or she did something wrong or something. She ran to the bathroom and hid behind the toilet. She looked so scared and sad. I had to coax her with food and give her a lot of praise to get her to feel better. =( Poor baby.

But on the funny side, today the repairman, Brandon, was helping us fix the sink. Suddenly, he said, "Hey! Did you just lick my back you silly dog?" Gigi stares back. He then pets her head. :)

After she dried up a good amount, I brushed Gigi. A BIG BIG BIG glob of fur resulted. She has an endless amount of fur, I swear. I brushed her for a good hour and I bet I still can get more fur out.

Gigi did this on her own. She was sleepy.

Gigi playing with Daphne

Gigi and I went to go visit my friend's fluffy 11 week old corgi, Daphne. Gigi loved playing with the baby! I just had to make sure she played gently. Otherwise, Gigi and Daphne loved each other! I forget that Gigi was once that small :)

Moved in

Well, this is officially the second day I have moved into the Davis house for the start of the school year. From what I've heard from mommy and daddy, the house has become a whole lot more quiet without Gigi and us, kids. I'm sure everyone is missing the Gigi-bear a lot! Her corgi smiles, funny noises, and goofiness. So, I will try to update more with some pictures and videos!

This morning I took Gigi to the dog park, in hopes that she'll play so hard that she'll be tired for the rest of the day. Well, she did. I was worried a good part of the day, because Gigi kept going back into her crate to sleep. Thank goodness, she bounced back during the late afternoon. Then she was back to her usual self. I then walked her down our usual path at night. I think that's a good amount of exercise for her.

Have no fear Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie! Here is some Gigi love to savor! <3

She crawled into her crate and slept for a good part of the day.

Gigi likes sleeping on the blanky (real) Grandma gave her.

Graduation from Pupy Class

Gigi has graduated from puppy class 1! It was so fun! She's grown up so much! Here are some pictures. :)

Group photo! Gigi is so photogenic :)

Kong challenge

Tonight at dinner time, (Gigi's) grandpa put some chicken meat into Gigi's kong and gave it to her. She worked on it the whole dinner, I'd say at least 20 minutes XD. Gigi worked very hard in getting the yummy chicken out, but the chicken meat was stuffed too inside, she couldn't get much of them out :( So grandpa went to help her.

When grandpa took the kong away from her, she didn't try to run away with the kong (like when we tried to get her other treasure away from her). She seemed to know that grandpa is helping her :P At last with some help, she's able to eat all the chicken meat. She was one happy camper XD. She's so persistent when it comes to food, never give up on getting her goodies, haha...

Spay recovery

Gigi has pretty much completely recovered from her surgery. I think she even forgot she had stitches on her belly. She's acting like her silly self. We even brought down our childhood mini sofa for her since we thought it's of more use for her than just sitting in our parents' bedroom.

Spay

Gigi was spayed today. Although she's only 5 months, we figured it's better to have it done while my parents can help watch her recovery before school starts. She was very happy, silly this morning. Right now, she's groggy, sleepy, and whiny. :( The vet techs said that they were having trouble putting her to sleep so they tranquilized her. So now she's still so tired-looking.

I feel so sad seeing her so out of it and zonked out. Even so, she takes time to eat her dinner and even try to ask my parents for their food. Hope she recovers fast!

On the way home. She's wearing a cone. But we figured the tranquilizer effects were still working so she won't try to get at the stitches now. So we took of the cone at home.


The stitches. 4 I think.


Sleepy..sleepy.

Baby teeth

Gigi has been losing her baby teeth and getting her adult ones. Today I just saw her chewing on her gums and thought maybe a baby tooth was falling out. So, I gave her a greenie to help get it out. After she was done, a baby tooth fell out. :)

So far this is our collection of her teeth.


She kept wiggling. But in this shot you can see the place where the tooth used to be. Bleeding :(


Here's a shot of the front pearly white adult teeth. :)

Daycare, Dog Park, Scheduled Spay

So a little update on the little girl.

8/27
Gigi did pretty well at the daycare at Titan's Kingdom. Of course, I wasn't really monitoring her all day, but I consider that since she came out "happy-go-lucky" when I picked her up, she had a fun day. There was a webcam on their website, and my sister and I were able to spot her "red/white" pattern easily. :) She's very distinctive. Overall, good experience there.

We have continued bringing Gigi to the dog park. We've been recently bringing her to the Union City Dog Park since there are separate facilities for Small and Large Dogs. This seems to help her a lot. She is definitely growing out of her shell.

She gets very excited when she sees me pick up the leash. She would dash down to the front door, look back at me, see me walk to the garage door, and dash ahead of me to the garage door. (I'll make a video of it sometime.) At the dog park, she actually initiates other dogs to play with her. This would be the only time she'd ever bark. She'd wrestle and play chase. One time, she made a chihuahua friend. Both my mom and I could tell Gigi was using herding skills during their chase. :)

Gigi is scheduled for a spay on September 4th. Let's hope it all goes smoothly! I think our whole family will be so sad for her when she has to wear "the cone of shame". :( And she's so short so she'd just be dragging the cone on the ground with her wherever she goes!
