Various Cute Pics!
January 25, 2007A blur of Jack and Giggs playing:
Some head-to-head action:
I love how Giggs is using my sister’s lap
to get to Jack’s level!
Very handsome boy:
One night he crawled into Tony’s closet
and made a bed out of his soccer bag:
This is Giggs’ REAL bed that we special ordered
and one of the few times he’s actually used it.
I think we’re at about $10 per use now.
Coming soon:
Giggs vs. the vacuum cleaner!

Yay! They’re Friends!
January 23, 2007So the meeting of cousins went well! I’m very pleased; mostly because we’re going to need my parents as dog-sitters in the future and that wouldn’t work if Jack didn’t like Giggs.
At first, it was a little sketchy. Jack didn’t quite know what to make of this snorty, wiggly, hyper thing that came into his house. It looked like a dog, but was not like any other dog he’d seen before. Giggs was a bit shy at first but then enticed Jack to play with him and things took off from there. Jack was very gentle with Giggs (although Giggs was NOT gentle with Jack) and only snapped at him twice. Both were warning snaps, which I think is good because it teaches Giggs some manners. The first was when Giggs tried to drink Jack’s water at the same time Jack was drinking. Jack is ok with sharing, just not at the same time. The second was when Giggs tried to make a chew toy out of Jack’s tail, so that’s understandable.
It was funny watching them play because Jack is part Wolfhound and quite tall and fluffy and Giggs is pretty much the exact opposite. I took some pictures and video later in the evening once their play got to be less of a blur. They played non-stop for hours! We had to put Giggs in his crate twice to force him to catch his breath! He also needs a bath very soon because he got COVERED in Jack slobber!
Anyway, here’s some video of Giggs and Jack playing tug-o-war with Jack’s favorite stuffy -an old slipper!

Oh yeah! As of today, Giggs can now go up AND down a flight of stairs! Look out people! All areas of the house are no longer safe!
I Wish I Got It On Video
January 20, 2007The funniest thing happened last night. **This is a bit gross so don’t read this paragraph if you have a weak stomach.** Tony and I play indoor soccer on Friday nights in a co-ed league so we went to our game last night and Giggs had to spend some time in his crate. After the game, our team usually goes to the pub for drinks and appies so we were gone for about three hours. When we got home we ‘unleashed the beast’, let him out for a potty break, and then Tony began to rough-house with him on the floor. Giggs was pretty excited and he was doing the pug run and climbing all over Tony and having a great time. Tony was laying on the floor holding Giggs up in the air above him (like you would a baby) when Giggs looked at him funny and made some nasty sounds. Before Tony even had time to think, Giggs projectile vomited all over Tony’s shoulder! I was watching the whole scene and nearly peed my pants I laughed so hard. The look on both their faces was PRICELESS! The poor little guy yakked up his cheerios (his after potty treat) all over Tony. It proved the fact that he inhales, rather than chews, his cheerios since there were a couple whole, intact ones on Tony. Nummy. Just like a baby, don’t bounce them around too much!
Alright, the gross story is over. Pretty funny though, even Tony laughed.
Today we met Tony’s dad at IHOP for breakfast to see him off before he left to Mexico (lucky devil). Tony and I cannot wait to go somewhere warm! We’re going to have to wait for a bit though since we’ve got the little pup here. My parents and some other family are going to Greece at the end of June so we’re probably going to go as well. It’ll be hot here by that time but it’s still a trip to a gorgeous place so I’m not complaining. More on that when I know more. Anyway, one thing that I hate about snowy weather is the way everyone parks! Since the lines in parking lots are hard to see, everyone seems to think it’s ok to park like a jerk.
Exhibit A: That’s four spaces he’s got there people!
Don’t worry, we gave the owner of this truck a good tongue lashing.

We got Giggs a toy basket and he’s already figured out how to get into it and how to tip it over to get what he wants.
Look at that belly!
That’s it for now folks, enjoy the rest of your weekend. Tomorrow Giggs goes with us to my parents’ place for dinner. He’ll be meeting cousin Jack:
Let’s hope they become good friends.
