GiGi - a Zoho Writer Document

Meet GiGi

GiGi is a dog. She would be quite offended if she knew this little detail about her existence, so we'll go on referring to her and treating her as a person. Specifically, she is a Lhasa Apso. If you were to see the breeders' pics of their Lhasas you wouldn't think GiGi is one of them, I can't keep her coat long and flowing like they do, it gets too tangled and when it gets real long she starts to shed. So, she gets her hair cut but she doesn't mind, in fact she seems to strut after her visits to the groomers.

When GiGi was born in 2005 she was tiny, and just the cutest little fur ball. We drove all the way to Amarillo to pick her up. What a long drive that was, but worth the effort. She is very loving and you know she is happy to see you when her tail starts wagging and she jumps up in your lap and starts licking your face. You also know when she is not happy by the way she puts her nose up in the air and refuses to make eye contact with you.

All of my nieces and nephews just love GiGi. She plays with them and lets them chase her around the yard. She has never bitten any of them, even the babies when they have pulled her hair. That is quite impressive given the reputation Lhasa Apsos have for being impatient and stubborn.

Our family would not be complete without our little GiGi.
