Lucy and Gigi Say Thanks

Lucy and Gigi had a great Thanksgiving. Their friend, Charlie, the white Maltese, came to visit and they all had a wonderful time. The grownups got to visit with each other, and Jim did some mightly fine cooking. There was turkey, broccoli puree, stuffing with mushrooms, yellow pepper soup, cranberry chutney, and carrot and currant salad. Oh problem is that we are all stuffed, so we all have to exercise more. Gigi and Lucy got to play with Charlie, and even stayed with him when everyone went out. The girls were sad to say goodbye to Charlie yesterday, but they hope he will come back for a visit real soon. Charlie is very well trained and even went wee wee on his pee pee pad. No messes from Charlie.

The Northern Virginia Sheltie Rescue will be at the annual Scottish festival next week in Alexandria. Lucy and Gigi are certainly looking forward to that.

Gigi's Article Creates Nice Buzz

Neighbors and friends have written us very nice notes and comments about Gigi's Northwest Current article and she has been so happy to hear from them. Listen to what Gigi's friends and fans have been saying:

Mehret writes, "Wow! Thanks for sharing. Very nice article...I checked out the blog and loved it."

Suzanne chimed in from the beach, "Fantastic!"

Paula wrote, "What a nice news article!"

Mary from Pa. wrote, "What a great article--what an amazing story! I managed to print out both pages of the article and I am going to give them to my mother to read. She will love it!!!"

Nancy, her foster mom, said,"That Gigi is going to go down in history. Great article..."

Eliza stated, "I read the article and I enjoyed it alot. I liked the picture as well."

Sue from Tennessee wrote, "What fun. A very nice article..."

Gigi gets especially excited when she knows that her many friends and neighbors are gettting a kick out of her exploits. So keep those cards and letters coming!

Right now, she and Lucy are getting bathed at the groomers. They both said they want to look especially nice for their Thanksgiving visitors. A very nice, young Maltese named Charlie is coming to town, so they have to look good.

Gigi Said Wow!

So the article came out from the Northwest Current. Gigi read it and said, "Wow, that's really good!" She was really excited because the man that wrote it was 99.9% accurate in the retelling of her story, and she appreciated his point-of-view. She thinks if her article can help other lost dogs and their owners to mount campaigns as vigorous as hers, then there will be alot more dogs who are found and who will reunite with their owners.
