What I love Wednesday!

I AM LOVING... that Gigi is finally getting a haircut today.  She stinks and with her allergies she is just a knotted mess, even though she gets brushed like 5 times a day!

I AM LOVING... that since I couldn't attend my College 10 year reunion, D. decided to make me a scavenger hunt to keep my mind off it.  The highlights included dinner at Logans, shopping for a new pair of earrings and bowling.

I AM LOVING... that my good friend Ashley is starting a new dessert business called "A Petite Sweet".  Her initials happen to be APS...how cute is that!  Check out her Blog and Facebook page!

How delish do these look!

 I AM LOVING...this guy who always puts me first and treats me like a queen!

XOXO,

JAMIE

Tail Wagging Tuesday! - Funny Dog

Linking up with my girl c-mae for Tail Wagging Tuesday!  

Today's topic is a funny pic of your furbaby!  As many of you know Gigi is a pretty funny dog so it was hard for me to pick just one...so here they are!

She likes to sleep as close to me as possible at work.  Her bed was there but she thought the desk made a better pillow.  She still does it to this day.  (like right now)

I left animal planet on and came out of the shower and caught her complete hypnotized by the Dog Whisperer

Learning from Caesar

When she was a puppy I had dropped a paper towel roll on the floor and she snatched it up.  She runs all over the house with it and holds it out like she is the leader.  Really funny to watch

 Shih Tzu's love anything they can try to rip up ie: paper.  I caught her in my closest one day with her head inside my Ugg boots trying to get at the sherling inside. 

XOXO

JAMIE & GIGI

Happy 4th July and Birthday to Jeanne

It's 4th of July!  One of my favorite Holidays of the Year.  I think I love this holiday so much cause it reminds me of all the wonderful summers I spent at "The Jersey Shore" at our yacht club in Beach Haven, LBI!  And now that I live at the beach it's even better knowing I don't have to drive to enjoy it.  We will spend the day on the beach with my family and celebrating my Aunt's birthday then head over to one of our favorite beach bars Coconuts to watch the Cherry Grove Pier Fireworks in North Myrtle Beach. 

I also want to celebrate my Best Friend Jeanne's Birthday!  Not only is she turning another year older but she also will be having a new baby girl any day!  So we have lots to celebrate!  Jeanne is one of the best people I know and is the most loyal and caring friend anyone could ask for!  Love You Paps! 

How beautiful is this!

Before her big Day!

Even our dogs are best buddies!  Maxwell & Gigi  <3!

Tail Wagging Tuesday! - Sleeping

It's Tail Wagging Tuesday.  I know I have been away but with my new Cigar Lounge being built and trying to play catch up I have just been too swamped to post or read, so not FAB!.  But today I couldn't resist cause I love my Gigi and I love Casey's Tail Wagging Tuesdays!  I will get my "All Things Cancun" blog up by Friday I promise!

Today the discussion is where our furry four legged friends sleep.  Gigi can pretty much sleep anywhere and when I was going through my albums of her I couldn't believe all the crazy places so here they ALL are....I hope you laugh as much as I did. And yes my dog has changed a lot of different colors and has a lot of different hair cuts.

I miss her being all furry and black...This is when she was like 6 months old in her "Pink Bed"

Of course at the foot of the bed like most Shih Tzu's

Just woke her up in Mommy's spot...oops

In the car everyday on the way home from work

Lazy Sunday she took my spot on the couch

The classic..on my desk at work, and yes the pink bed was there

Dead dog on the rug, I think we played hard at the beach that day

And believe or not she will sleep on my head, but she woke up to the flash...

Tail Wagging Tuesday!

 

I am linking up with Live What You Love for Tail Wagging Tuesday!  You can only pick your favorite picture of your furry friend (child) and it's really hard.  Here is my little baby!  Well she isn't a baby anymore and she isn't black anymore, but this is what she looked like the day I got her.   She's always happy!! And she still sits with her right leg lazy and tucked in!

Mademoiselle Gigi Noel

I may not have a kid, but that doesn't mean I'm not a mom...

As most of my friends know I am just not quite sure that the whole "children" thing is something that I want for my future.  And I know you can never understand the love of something until you have your own..blah, blah, blah.  But the thing is I do have my own.  I have Gigi!!  The most FAB! dog in the universe.

While in the vet office I was thinking about how I may not be a mother to a human, but I am still a mother. Here I was sitting in the office with my very scared fury child getting her yearly shots and I see an article about grandparents who love their "granddogs".  In case you don't know it's "baby boomers without grandkids and pets are the next best thing".  See even Dog Fancy gets it!

I later then had to take care of my very sick and sore child the rest of the evening.  I was even up at 4:30 am cleaning up her upset stomach and behind all the while making sure she knew I knew it wasn't her fault.  The whole day she has spent sleeping and limping around while I carry her up and down the stairs cause she can't do it herself.  If that isn't motherly love I don't know what else is.

So I thought I would compile a list of successful women, who have made the choice to not have kids and have their Doggie Children instead, and quite frankly don't give a damn when people go "so you really don't want kids????"

1. Oprah...She doesn't need a husband or kids!  Sadie is perfect for her
2. Jennifer Aniston...just wish the media would lay off her and her precious Norman
3. Jessica Biel...Hello Justin and her bitbull Tina...sounds like she got her sexy back!
4. Eva Mendes...Awesome Latin woman who loves her Hugo
5. Rachel Ray...Her dog Isaboo even has it's own line of dog food!

Puppy Cuts

My little GiGi is such a character and her look really adds to it.  She started as an all black fluff ball and as she grew she went from black to a bridle/leopard/gray dog.  People always comment about her coloring.  Well I let her hair get long for the winter and I finally couldn't deal with it anymore.  She hates to be brushed and with her double coat it just turns into a knotted mess.  I was done fighting with her so today she went to the groomers.  We couldn't believe the before and after.  She hates to get her picture taken so they are a little blurry and clearly she doesn't look to happy.  But she is all clean and FAB!..got to love the puppy cut!

BEFORE!!!

AFTER!!!
