Celebrity Look-a-like

I’d have to say Giggs looks like…

Mike Myers!

Abducted by Aliens!

Ok, I’ve just been really, really lazy. I’ve been keeping up on my blog reading, just not my blog writing. I have pics and stuff but I’ll post them later and fill ya’ll in on what’s been going on around here. I have to organize my thoughts first; we have been busy (I swear)! The weather has also been pretty darn nice so sitting inside on the computer hasn’t been all that attractive right now. We sure do need to get some AC for the little guy though, it’s getting HOT!

Coming soon (in no particular order):

Cousin Fest ‘07 pictures and update -we were gone for 6 days
Giggs’ visit with Gramma & Grampa, Auntie Dana, and cousin Jack
Pictures of Giggs’ new duds
May Pug Meet pics
House stuff
New job

ASAP I promise!

I Don’t Know About You…

but I sure ain’t gettin’ on that horse!

Thanks Uncle Cheese!

Giggs’ Uncle Steve (who we call Uncle Cheese, since that’s what his human niece calls him) bought Giggs a new shirt while he was away in Victoria. It’s from Old Navy and it’s a bit big on him (men just don’t know how to size things). It’s a stellar colour though and I just found out today that Winston has the same one! They could be twins! Except Giggs’ is the ‘Honey, I Shrunk the Kids’ size too huge. We’ll see if my mom can alter it so it fits him. Right now he’s modelling it gansta style!

Collar down = business casual

Collar up = party time!

Look at his face in these pictures! Isn’t my boy such a versatile model? Just like Zoolander! The first one is ‘magnum’, by the way. Can’t you just feel the intenseness of his stare?!

The following clips are the exact reason why our model is being held (pinned) by Tony:

It’s pretty entertaining to put it on him now since he pretty much runs out of it. He gets all tangled up and trips on it, pretty cute. Even cuter is when he wiggles out if it except it catches on his curly little tail so he then chases the shirt until he can pull it off or it falls off. SO FUN :)

Mangey Mutt!

According to the vet, Giggs has Demodectic mange. Poor little guy. It’s not serious, apparently all dogs have these mites that occur naturally in their hair follicles in low number. If the dog is stressed or their immunity gets low, then these opportunistic little mites can cause problems. Apparently, a few breeds of dog are more prone than others (Pug being one of them). I first noticed a patch on Giggs after his neutering, so maybe that stress is what brought it out. Anyway, we caught it early and he’s just got two isolated little spots. The vet gave us antibiotics for ten days and that should clear it up. She also recommended a specific heartworm medication that will help prevent future outbreaks. The poor little guy had to have the areas scraped so she could do an analysis for diagnosis. They have to scrape pretty deep and it looked like he had two little road rash patches! They’re fine today though.

This diagnosis isn’t so bad, the other option was ‘hot spots’ (I can’t remember the scientific name) and those are caused by allergies. Then we would have had to figure out what exactly caused the reaction etc. NOT fun. SO GLAD we don’t have to do that!

So $211 later, the boy should be as good as new! ($100 was for his heartworm stuff that we start on next month.) Still cheaper than glasses or braces for human kids! Yay for fur-kids!
