ADVENTURES OF GIGI & LOLA

Our Sister Roxy

2011-10-19T18:46:00.001-04:00

Roxy is our younger big sister. She is tall, has long black hair and she always has a smile on her face. She is happy all the time.

Not like my sister Lola. Sorry, Loli, but you get mad real easy. When Roxy comes up to say hello to mommy, daddy or brother Brandon she yells at Roxy.

This is sister Lola when she is happy.

But when Lola gets mad she is not so sweet looking. Mommy Patricia gets mad at Loli and she has to go on time out. Do you ever get time out from your mommy or daddy?

Here is a picture of Loli mad.

Doesn't she look funny when she is mad?

But poor Roxy she was just a little baby when she came home for the first time. Our Brother Brandon got her while he was away at college. Mommy wasn't happy again. See how cute she is.

Our Sisters, Different, But Family

2011-08-08T23:48:00.000-04:00

Our family is very different. We are sisters but we are so different. We are so different but we are the same. How can that be? We are a family made up of different sisters but we are family and we love each other.

We are so little but our sisters are B I G... We like it that way.
They protect us when we go outside.

Because we are so little there are lots of dangers in our yard. There are birds that we have to stay away from. There is a pool that we must not go into alone. Our sisters are always there making sure we are OK. That is what brothers and sisters do.

We take care of each other because we love each other.

Do they look mean? Ha ha ha, they are not they are really nice.

"The girls" is what mommy Pat calls us. Why? Because we are always together. If one of us, Gigi or Lola, goes out one of the
big sisters follows us. Mommy doesn't even have to ask them to go with us they just get up and follow us.

Meet the girls. The brown and black sister is the oldest. She was here way before the rest of us.

Meet Tator, she is the boss because she is our older sister.

Tator is 12 years old and she is a Lab. I know we are Chihuahuas but we are still sisters. Tator loves us but when she is tired of us playing she will tell us to stop by giving us a deep "woof." And when she does that we just laugh and go away. We don't want big sister to get mad because we love her. So we stop and go find something else to do.

Next you will meet our other sister, Roxy.
Do you have sisters? Do you take care of them?

Our Trip

2011-06-24T17:33:00.000-04:00

We are traveling along the highway. We love road trips but this one is a little different. Moms is quiet and not singing to the radio like she normally does.
What is wrong, moms? She just looks at me and smiles. I give her some kisses when she pets me because she looks like she needs some love.
I know we will stop soon. We like to stop at a restaurant called Cracker Barrel. We always go in with moms. She hides us in our bag and no one even knows we are there.
Lola loves to hide her face in the car when we travel. She is so silly
Not me, I like to look out and say "hello" to everyone. But don't touch me. If I get scared I yell real loud and people jump back. It is so funny.
But mom gets scared and always says "G i i i G i i. " Then I hide because mommy is not happy with me.

ROAD TRIP

2011-02-26T22:01:00.000-05:00

OFF ON A ROAD TRIP

It is Saturday afternoon and we are running around the the house. We run around the sofa, into the dinning room, down the hall. Lola, you can't catch me.

The phone rings and mom Patricia picks up the phone and start to talk to her sister. She hangs up and them Mommy calls her Sisi a short while later.

We stop running. I can see that mommy is worried. She is talking fast and mommy never talks fast. She hangs up and tells grand pa that she must leave early in the morning. Grands pa said he will drive. Mommy P said she needs to take us.

Swoop she picks me up and says, "Gigi, we are going on a trip." What is a trip? I look at sister Lola and I could see that she does not know what a trip is either. But it sounds like fun.

Well we are going to North Carolina. She said we will be going to a city called Charlotte.

We run to our closet. We have a lot of clothes. We have dresses, t-shirts, sweaters and shoes.

Mom puts our stuff in a brown suitcase. She puts in there some sweaters, and coats because she said it is going to be cold. We don't know what that means. We live in sunny Florida so it gets cold but we don't need a coat. It rains and then we have to use our raincoat.

There is a lot of activity and mom is packing and getting our stuff. together.

Mom says we are going to meet "mama." Mama is my mommy's mom.

So we are off to North Carolina. But first we must get in our car seat. Our mommies think of everything.

Here we come moma.

My New Life

2011-02-15T19:20:00.000-05:00

NEW LIFE, DIFFERENT LIFE, GOOD LIFE

The party is over, the guests have gone and now we are back home. My mommy, Chenny went to another state to live with my new daddy Jonathan. I stayed with my grands ma, grands pa and of course my sister Gigi.

I don't know what to do. Should I sat or should I go? If I go my sister Gigi will be sad and I think I will be sad too. If I stay I know I will be sad because my mommy Chenny is not with me. You see only mommy can give me the best "itchy, scratchy" that is when she scratches my back and I start to stretch out because it feel sooooooo good. No one else can reach that spot. But I guess that is what mom's do. They know how to make their babies feel so good

I am thinking what to do? I love both of them, my mommy and my sister, so much. My grands says I should stay because then I will be alone at mommy's new house while mommy and daddy Jonathan goe to work.
I don't know what to do?
Change is hard but change is good too. Oh no what to do?

THEY DANCED ALL NIGHT

2011-01-02T19:45:00.000-05:00

After the everyone left for the chapel and the ceremony had ended the guests followed my mommy Chenny and all of her friends to a beautiful place. This place is in beautiful downtown Orlando. It is called the Ballroom at Church Street. It is a magical place with a beautiful staircase, courtyard and these huge doors and windows.

All the guests arrived to a band playing to mommy and daddy Sush's favorite singer, Sinatra. The guests seemed to have enjoyed it too. Mommy and their friends danced and played all night long. They had cameras following them and taking movies of them. Here let me share with you. Tell me what you think. http://www.elegantefilms.com/videos/chenoajonathan/

After dancing and eating my grands and my mommy saw the cake. Mommy wanted a very big cake and grands agreed. The two of them spent days talking and planning about the perfect cake. It was so important for both of them to come up with their dream cake. They spent months looking and designing the cake with their favorite cake designer, Bake Me A Cake. Until they came up with this beautiful cake. Do you think it is as pretty as I do?

By all,

GOING TO THE CHAPEL, GOING TO GET MARRIED

2010-09-24T21:35:00.001-04:00

There is a squeal from the ladies and then the heels of their high-heeled shoes start going click, click, click. They are walking very fast looking for purses and cameras and then poppers, Marshal, comes with a big smile and says, "here we go, baby." Mommy Chenny picked up her dress and the cousins, Gabby, Tori and Dayzy picked up the back of mommy's dress. The back of the dress is so long they called it a train.

Now I get to tell the rest of the story, Lola.

Ok now I, Gigi, gets to tell you the story because I know my sister Lola is going to get sad again. You see when they all left Loli was very sad because we knew the Chenny was going away for a little while and then she would go away for a long, long time. She was going to miss her mommy Chenny.

But Chenny was so happy how could we not be happy for her. So I did what I do best. I cleaned Lola's tears by licking her eyes. I gave her kisses and then we snuggled as they all walked quickly towards the very big car they called a limo.

They all grabbed hands and headed out to that "limo." Some of the cousins grabbed the back of her very long dress. This part of the dress is called the train.
So daddy Marshall took her by the arm and they all left with great big smiles on their faces.

"Careful mommy Chenny, watch your step and be careful with you Manolo Blahnik's" , Lola called out.
The mommy's love to watch this movie called Sex and the City where they saw these beautiful blue shoes. These shoes were mommy's "something blue"

Little by little all the girls go in the car and help mommy Chenny and her big dress into the car. They were all going to a special place for a ceremony.

THAT'S MY SISTER

2010-09-11T23:48:00.000-04:00

See how cute my sister looks all snuggly with my other sister, Chenoa. It's complicated. Yes she is my sister because my mommy, is Chenny's mommy. But my sister Chenoa is my other sister from another mother, Lola's mom. See, I told you it's complicated. Whatever, my sister Lola looks so cute. But Chenny looks beautiful.

Talk real soon,

Gigi

THE WEDDING DAY

2010-09-11T14:08:00.001-04:00

Mommy's friends were almost done and they giggled and were so happy. Girls are so much fun when they are dressing up and going to special places. After they were all done they stepped away and looked at mommy Chenny with such great big smiles on their faces. Quietly mommy stepped away and just smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen.

Then mommy starts twirling in her beautiful white dress. She holds me and squeezes me. I love it when she does that.
Then mama was sitting and kept calling my mommy, Chenny. Mommy runs to go see mama. Mama is my grams mom. She is so beautiful and so funny. She loves to squeel just like my grams. So when my mommy Chennny goes over to see her she just squeels and then laughs so loud. She keeps calls my mommy "Chenita." "Chenita, que linda", which means how beautiful Chenny. How do I know?
Because my gram's side of the family all speak Spanish. So does my mommy and uncle Brandon.
Mama is our great grandmother. She is so sweet and loves us all so much. Momma loves to sing to us everytime she holds us. That is how we know that she is soooo happy.

Oh everyone is so happy and giddy and just running all around and getting ready. They say theya re waiting for "the car." I guess it must be a special car because everyone keeps looking out the window for this car. In the meantime we hear the click, click sound of all the girls shoes.

The Big Day

2010-08-28T19:20:00.002-04:00

The day Lola's mommy got married.

That day there were so many people coming in and out of the house. But before that day there were parties all the time. There was an engagement party, there were showers, there were more showers and then there were dinners. Boy I was really happy because we would meet all sorts of new friends.

Lola, would love to run up to people and cuddle. Not me, I Gigi do not like to run up to people. My mommy says that I am like a cat. I only go to people when I want to get to know them. If not I runaway to my big puffy bed.

Stop interrupting Gigi......

So on the day my mommy got married there lots of ladies in the house from the moment we woke up. They were brushing and curling and putting things on my mommy's face. Then when they would finish with her they would go to my grams and do the same.

Lola's grams is my mommy.

Stop interrupting Gigi. So, when all the noise stopped they brought out a big white dress. All the ladies went ohhhhh, ahhhhh. Then they all stood around her and they held her hand and were crowding her and I couldn't see. Then they all stepped back and there stood my mommy in the most beautiful white dress I have ever seen.

She had such a big smile and she looked so beautiful.

The Begining

2008-10-14T18:20:00.003-04:00

It was a nice October evening where everyone was talking and running around. Suddenly there was a nice ring, it was the doorbell. Sister Lola and I were sitting in our little cage and everyone started to bark. We were too little to bark so we wagged our tail as fast as we could. There were some voices and suddenly "the mom" came in and looked at the cages. She reached over to another little cage and took out my older sister, Tan. Then she reached over and took me out.
I was so happy to be out of the cage. We went to another room and there were two beautiful ladies sitting at the floor. They looked at us and they said "oh my, they are soooo cute." Just as they said that we said "oh they look so sweet and pretty."
Then just like that I jumped on my new friends arms and started to kiss her. She giggles and that makes me happy and so I licked her some more! She squeals even more. Her name is Trish.
The other pretty lady, Chenoa, laughs and reaches over and starts to cuddle me in her arms. She smells so pretty. She kisses me more and more.
Suddenly I look over and Tan looks so scared. I run over and kiss her and tell her lets play. But she got even sadder.
Then Trisha and her daughter Chenoa started to get sad and said they were looking for two puppies and Tan didn't seem like she wanted to go with them. Then "the mom" got up and disappeared. I was a little worried but then Trisha and Chenoa started to try to make Tan feel better but she got even sadder. Then I heard "the mom" come back and she had Lola in her arms.
Lola jumped on the floor and then jumped on Chenoa and started kissing her and kissing her till Chenny started to squeal with delight. Chenoa said, "do you want me to be your mommy?" Lola jumped and kissed her more and more. That was her way of saying yes.
Trisha, squealed and took me in her arms and said "I am going to be your mommy." So I kissed her again.
"The mom" left the room and brought my real doggy mom. Chenny and her mom, Trisha reached over and kissed my doggy mom and they told her "we will take care of them for you." Chenny said, "we will love them a lot and take good care of the."
We played and we laughed and we kissed. Then "the mom" said "the girls are not ready to leave till next Friday. " Chenny and her mom said "we will be here next Friday." Then they kissed us and handed us over to "the mom."
They got up and looked so sad as they said good bye. Lola said "where are you going?" Chenny came back and gave Lola another kiss. Trishsa said, "we will see you next Friday."
Then the door closed behind them. I felt so sad, wy did or friends have to go?
