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!
