Rufus!

Gidget had a play date today with her brother Rufus! Since their date of birth was undetermined at the time of adoption Rufus' owner chose today as the big day, so we decided to do the same.

It was nice to see them together, once they saw each other, I swear they remembered their past. They got along well and shared a big treat for their birthday and played for a couple hours. We feel super lucky that Rufus' owner contacted us and hope we can play again soon.

I super love these Easter themed toys from Martha Stewart Pets.

Check out these and a lot more here at PetSmart.

Le petit dejeuner avec Gidget

Brunch with Gidget.

Today was the first time we have gone out to eat in over a month! Since we adopted Gidget (she has major separation anxiety*) we have been in lock down. Sometimes its just nice to go out and eat. So, after running some errands we headed to the Castro to see who had sidewalk seating and ended up at Cafe Flora. Gidget just sat in her little bed on the chair and did really well, despite licking the bacon in Tim's plate when his breakfast showed up. It was a beautiful day to eat outside as well, is it really February?

*working on her separation anxiety, thankfully we have a both a great trainer along with a wonderful friend (Wendy) helping out.

Gidget's Weekend

We had a great weekend with little Gidget.

We went to Petco, Pet Smart and she waited in the car with Tim while I went into Target. We weighed her at Pet Smart and she weighs a whooping 7.2 pounds, a tiny little girl. We took her in the car both days this weekend and we also went to the little doggie park in my hood both Saturday and today. The park isn't fenced in, but is basically where the dogs go in my neighborhood to go potty and run a little. We wanted to see if she would run (on her leash of course) so I ran ahead and she and Tim came running behind, you should see her little legs go and her ears flap with every stride, it is hilarious and super cute. I couldn't get a video because I have to run in order to get her to run.

UPDATE - BayLee likes it when we leave the house and he gets his alone time. Gidget is getting more confident by the hour and she has started to bark at BayLee. We are correcting this behavior immediately though as she started to run at BayLee too when he enters the room we are in. BayLee is ok though, spends time in the bedroom alone and in his climber looking down on all of us. We all sleep together so he can't be too traumatized. Gidget gets spayed tomorrow so BayLee will get a day off and hopefully a little break while she heals.
