16/04/2007 Update

Hi everyone
Well I thought it is about time that I did an update for you all
Well Mum is writing as I am resting as you can see here

Well I do have a hectic Life you know so I can't do this as well. There is all these walks and then eating, it really takes it out of me. A dog has to rest specially when he has just filled his Belly.
Well here is what I have been up to in the last weeks
I will start with 2 weeks ago when Mum and me found the Field. Wow is that a big Field and of course I am aloud of the Lead on here. Mu let me of the lead and of I go. Of course Mum could not keep up with me because of her Illness, but its ok I knew what I was doing. I wish though Mum would stop shouting and telling me to stop, I need to investigate this new Place Mum, don't you realize that?
Wow look at this I have found the way to another Field well I have to check it out, no way about it. For Goodness sake, Mum is still calling me cause she can't see me. I need to check the Place out, Mum .
Oh, she is getting herself in a right mess there I suppose I better show myself to her, oh now look I did not see that big Puddle there and now my Paws and Belly are filthy, which means when I get home Mum will wash me. Ok, Mum, I am here right behind you, Mum will you please look behind you I am here. Oh dear I can hear the Tears in her eyes. She turns round and sees me and she picks me up which was not a good Idea as now she is filthy to, I don't think she minds though. I didn't mean to worry her, I was just looking round. Ok Mum you can let me down now, you are smothering me here.
Well after finishing Fussing me I get back on my Feet and wow look, Mum, there are 2 Dogs there to play with. See you there and I race of. Well, well, well 2 Ladies, hey hang on what is going on here, hey stop pushing me you 2 that's my Job, Hang on you are both bigger then me, come on Mum stop laughing and help me here, just great she won't help me either, well I am angry now. Hey will you 2 stop following me, I don't want to play and when my Mum has finished laughing she might just take me home.
Thanks a bunch, Mum, you could have picked me up you know.
Well, I won't be talking to you for the rest of the Day
We get home and I go and lie on my Settee, I still love you Mum but I am angry now.


Thursday 12/04/07

Well, I am all excited as Mum is going to take me out for another Walk. But here we go again, Mum needs to go before we go again. I am jumping for Joy outside the Bathroom Door, come on Mum hurry up and barge into the Bathroom, I get called a naughty Boy, why??? What have I done I only came running into the Bathroom
I then find out what I had done when Mum says "That's just Great Weeman (Nickname, sure she forgots I am Gissi) you nearly knocked me out then." Well how am I suppose to know that Mum had bent down to pick something up and just managed to move away before I smacked the Door into her Head? Goodness, I can't see through Doors you Know, Mum will you please try and realize that.
And anyway, you should I would come bouncing through, so it is not my Fault at all, so come on Mum, be more careful, you have just got over a Black Eye. I don't know, these Humans can sometimes be really hard work you know.
Oh well, thats all for today there will be more updates no doubt in a couple of Weeks, but for now I will love and Leave you all
Big Hugs
Gissi

I am Gissi

Hi everyone I am Gissi
I am a cross between a Pap pillion and a Terrier and I am cute, well I think so anyway. If you know my Mum Gaby you will know me to as she is always talking about me, well I can't blame her really, I am such a little Darling.
I would like to tell you about myself well from what I can remember and how I got to live with my Mum Gaby.
I really hope that everyone who reads this will enjoy it
I will try my Best here

I will start by telling you from the Kennels as I really do not remember what happened before and I don't really want to as I know it was bad.

March2005
I wake up and try and find my bearings, my head is very sore and I am hurting all over. Where am I ? I can't recognize anything here at all. Why am I hurting so much? Did I get run over? I just can't remember what has happened to me. Some Man is coming towards me, I don't want him to, will he hurt me more, and who are the 2 Women behind him. I try to get up but I can't and I can't even growl at him. He gently touches me and I hear him say "This little Fellow has had some beating. We need to clean him up and give him some Medication and hopefully he will recover." What is this Guy trying to say that I will go to heaven? I don't want to go there. The 2 Ladies come towards me and tell me that I will have to have a little Bath. Oh great, will that hurt?
I want to back away but I can't, it hurts to much , so I have to let them near me. They bath me and then the Man comes back and puts some Stuff on my Skin and Ouch that stings, I try to bite him, but I have not got the Strength.

June2005
Well I have been here 3 months now, People have looked at me but I don't want to go to them, I don't like them so I stay in bed at the back Wall, where I am safe and no one can get me. I wish those 2 Yappie things in the other Kennels would be quiet, they are giving me a Headache. I lie here wondering if I will ever find a nice Home, People come and look at me but I am so scared I don't go to them so of course they don't want me, which is fine by me, they seem nice but I don't trust them, I don't even want the People from the Kennels near me. I know I only have a week left and then they will send me to heaven and if that is how it has to be, then be, I will rather go there then get beaten again. While I am lying there in my Thoughts, I hear a Voice "I don't think there is one in here" I look up and see a blond Lady looking. She looks nice but I won't let her see me. She won't want me. Another voice says that I recognize from last week replies "Yes there is, Mum, but it won't come to anyone." The Lady called Mum looks more intense and then oh no she has spotted me. She talks softly to me and just keeps saying "Come on, Sweetheart, I won't hurt you, I promise, come on little one." I like Mum's Voice and I get up. I want to go to her, I feel I can trust her but I just don't know what to do. I am scared. That soft Voice keeps on talking to me. The other Voice says "He won't come to you ,Mum." But Mum ignores her and keeps talking to me and I start to slowly move towards her. Her eyes are so kind. As I get closer, she puts her hand in the Cage, the other Voice says "Mum he could bite you." Mum replies " If he does its my own Fault." I have no intentions of biting her, I love her already.

I go to her and I lay my Head into her hand, it feels so good, she is so gentle while stroking me, I wonder if I can go home with her. I look at her and I see she has tears in her eyes, she whispers "You are the one I want, you are coming home with me no matter what." She tells the other Voice " I want this one." The reply comes back "Mum you don't know how old he is, look at him he is Grey round the Face and what about a Puppy?"
Mum says "It's this one or none,it is suppose to be for my Birthday present, the Puppies will get a Home and this little Fellow won't, if he is that old and does not stay with me long at least I know he died in a good Home and not in here."
The Voice says "But Mum you will go through all the Pain again like you did with Max."
Mum says "Yes and I am willing to go through that, I love this little Fellow, Mel."
Ok , so I had Mum and Mel now. Oh please let them take me,please.
Mel says "Ok then, Mum.
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh I have a Home. The lady from the Kennels comes and I run to the back, I don't want her, I want Mum. Where is Mum, she said she would take me. Then I see her , she is waiting at the front for me.
I try to run her, but the lead is stopping me. She pays the money and then, yes, they give me to Mum. She takes me to her Car and I get in. Bye bye Kennels and Hello to my new Home.

We arrive and Mum takes me out of the car. Oh no who are they, there are 4 Cats there, 3 run of and one stays and eyes me up. Oh great, now what do I do?
The cat that stayed is called Scruffy I find out when Mum introduces me to her. Wow, she is a bit feisty, she goes to swipe me, that could have hurt. I have to watch this one.
We go inside and it is lovely, but I do not leave Mums Side, Mel tries to stroke me but no I just want Mum at the moment, I am still scared. Then someone else walks in, another young Female, who I find out is Nic and she is Mum's Son Girlfriend, you mean there is another one, well where is he? Nope I will stick with Mum for now.
A week later I meet Mike, which is the Son, oh my he is tall.
I am very weary of him, but Mum holds me so I know I am safe. He seems nice though and gentle as well. Like the Girls are. That night they all go out there is just Mum and that thing called Scruffy, I actually quite like her, she has spirit and I want to be friends with Scruffy, she is a bit bigger then me but I like her.
They all come back late and oh no they have that horrible smell, that they call Alcohol. I start to growl fiercely as I am scared of that smell, specially on Men. Mum takes me away, as she is scared I might bite which I probably would.

July2005
Well I have been here a month and I am starting to realize that they all love me. I have got to love Mel, Mike and Nic. But Mum is still number 1. She takes me everywhere and I get lots of cuddles from everyone. I have even made friends with Scruffy, she is really nice. But there is this Ginger one called Simba and he is so nasty to me, he keeps beating me up, Mum tells him of. But he still does it when Mum is not looking and he is much bigger then me. I love my new Home and there are always Mike's Friends to and I am getting used to the People who are allowed in the House. There is so much Love here for me.
Then Mum has to take me to the Vet as I am poorly. While there we find out that I am allergic to Fleas and I have a swollen Anal Glance, then I get an Injection to get rid of the Fleas that Mum has been trying to get rid of. Mum asks the Vet how old he thinks I am as my Teeth are in good Condition, he tells her he thinks I am 3.
Hmmmmm I wonder if he is right as I can't remember how old I am myself. Mum is happy as it means I will be with her for a long time. I am happy to as I love my new Family.


August2005
I have been here now over 2 Months and I love it. I love Mel, she is so funny and I like winding her up hahaha. She loves me to. I love Mike and Nic to they are great and they sometimes play with me gently as I am still weary, but Mum is always there and I love her so much. I bit her the other Day, I did not mean to, I just got scared, I know she won't hurt me but it scared me and all she did was trying to take a Photo of her and me. I was really sad when I did it, I didn't mean to do it. But Mum said it was ok, as she knew I did not mean to do it. Mel kept saying I was going back to the Kennels, Mum said no he is not, Mike also stuck up for me, Mum was really upset as Mel would not talk to me. But Mel forgive me later. Now Mum knows how far she can push me. I love Mum so much and I do not want to hurt her ever again. I am surprised, even after I did that she still loves me.

December2005
Wow Mum is putting a tree up in the House I wonder why, wonder if it is my new Toilet. I hope so, safes me going out into the cold, specially when that white cold Stuff is out there. It went right up to my Belly and that got pretty Cold. Well why has it got all stuff on there and lights to? Is it so I find it when it is Dark? I can't even smell anything, no this is not like the ones outside and those things on there are annoying as well. Nope, Mum, forget that, I am not using this, I will go out and get cold instead, at least nothing dangles on my Head when I use those Trees. Nice thought but it's ok I don't want to use it. Hmmmmm why is Scruffy playing with them things on the tree? Oh oh Mum is getting cross now, ooops Scruffy run for it , you are in trouble. I love it here and I am happy here. My Family is just great.


June2006
Well I have been a year now with Mum and it is the best year of my life. Mum is sick a lot but I am here and I help Mel Mike and Nic look after her. I get worried when Mum gets really bad though and when she has this problem breathing, I will lie next to her when she is in bed and I watch over her. Mum always looks after me when I start coughing, as I have this bad cough and Mum has to rub my throat to try and stop it. She sometimes gets really scared, as I get really bad. Mel and me have fun to, hahahaha I love winding her up. She gets angry when I bark a lot, I always bark when she tries to watch her Programs, it's fun cause she gets annoyed. And I will answer her back when she tells me to stop. Hehehe she gets more annoyed then. Then Mum tells me to stop, but she is laughing. Well I guess I better, I go and snuggle up with Mel on the Settee and we are Friends again. See they can never stay angry with me for long.


August2006
Ok what is going on, Mike and Nic have gone away somewhere and they are talking about me meeting someone outside the House and then let me go in the House first when they get back? Hmmmmm whats going on?
2 Hours later Mum puts me on my lead and in the car. Where are we going? Mel comes to. Ok we have stopped, hey look there Mike and Nic, oh my GOODNESS who is that with them, why is Mum making me go to that Monster. Ok Mum come on I do not want to go to it. Well, Mum does not care she makes me and I am snarling at her, she don't care. Hey this is good that big thing is scared of me and .... she is scared of Mum how can anyone be scared of Mum, what a stupid Monster.
"This is Cookie, Gissi, she will be living with us, so you better be nice." Mum says.
Oh that is just great, now I have to share the House with a Girl. At first I am not happy and I don't let her in, wow what is going on here, Mum is picking me up and putting me in the Kitchen. Great start stupid Cookie, Mum has never done that to me before. Huh, Favoritisms, maybe I don't want to share my Family and defiantly not my Mum. Ok, Mum opens the Door and catches me as I am to run out of the Kitchen and she says "You have to be nice Gissi, ok, Cookie will be living here now to, so you better make Friends."
Oh great, now I have to share. Well I suppose I better sniff her and check her out. Well she seems ok I guess, but like I was, she is very scared. She then goes to mum, who strokes her very gently and Cookie is ok with Mum.
After a few Days Cookie settles and we are Friends, Mike and Nic take us for walks together, when we come back, Cookie and me play. But sometimes Cookie is so naughty and Childish but I guess she is still a Baby.
Well here is Cookie and Me on one of our Walks

December2006
Well, again that tree goes up. I thought Mum had given up on the Idea of getting me to use it and we found out it is not safe as well as Cookie managed to fall into it, oh that was so funny, hahaha. But I have found a good use for it, take a look

hahahaha Cookie can't get me here, peace, I think I will have a sleep. Oh great now Mum wants Photos again, I hate it when she does that. Has she not got enough? She keeps telling me to look at her. Sorry, Mum, I am tired and I am going to sleep.


Well that is how I came to be with my Mum, Mel. Mike, Nic and Cookie and of course Scruffy and the other 3 Cats that are just Interested in having a go at me.
Mum and me have moved now, we live 3 hours away from them all and I am a little sad as I miss them. But they come and see us and we go to see them, which is great, but I do not like travelling, I hate it.
Mum moved here as the Area is better and Healthier for her. She cried at first as she misses Mel, Mike and Nic to. I put my head in her lap when she does.
She is able to breathe better here though and we have walks together everyday
When I am sad, Mum will cuddle me. I know Mum loves me very much, with all my mistakes, mischievous tactics and when I am naughty. I love Mum to so much.
I love Mel, Mike, Nic and Cookie. I know they love me to, even though we have moved away. We are all still very close.
So you see, Miracles do happen.
My Miracle is my Family, that love me no matter what, I don't get hurt no more (only when Mum accidentally trips over me, I wish she wasn't so accident prone sometimes) I am loved and looked after, in return - I love my Mum and stay loyal and loving to her, let someone hurt her, they will have me to deal with me.


Well that is my Story and I hope you enjoy reading it.
Love to you all
