It’s me, Gigi, your favorite four-legged family member, here to share some holiday cheer and recap our very exciting year. This Christmas, I’ve got paws-itively some of the best news. Last December, we welcomed a new human baby sister, Mila! Woof! Mila Noelle Groke joined the family 12/23/23. She was fashionably late but just in time for all of last year’s holiday fun. She’s been keeping everyone busy, but don’t worry—I’ve been doing my part as her furry protector, snuggle buddy, and snack tester.

This year has been full of adventures! I’ve been tagging along as Mila grows and explores the world. We’ve gone to music class (I’m still waiting for my turn to sing!), spent sunny days at the beach, had endless playtime at the park, and even tried something called a “baby sound bath.” I didn’t get to join in, but Mila looked super chill and relaxed.

Between family walks, cozy afternoons at home, and all the love and treats I’ve been getting, life is pretty golden for this doodle. We’ve all  loved watching Mila grow.

From our pack to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

It’s hard to believe this was only a year ago. So much has changed for all of us. We’re loving each step and stage—what a learning journey, Mila is growing so fast and we are about to experience the chase that comes from her walking and running. So grateful to have both Grandma’s near and supporting us! Thank you everyone for the love and care that keep us going.
