Gigi the Staff Lounge Poodle
1983-2005

GiGi the voiceless white poodle that attended so many local AZ and some out of state conventions passed away on September 12, at the age of 22 from liver failure. For many years she was a constant figure at Phoenix area convention staff lounges or ConKopelli bid parties.

She lived a long and happy life and will be missed by many friends and family members. If you feel you would like to do something in her memory please donate to the American Humane Society’s Katrina Relief Fund.

A Poodle Named Gigi
by Jeffrey Lu


Small white pillow who comes to you to be petted
Or fed from scraps of meat from the hands of humans.
The little one sleeps on a pillow
And bears content sleep with Stephanie's and Craig's care.

She silently barks
And at times skittles across the floor.
She waits for no one
But loves the attention among the pack and cats.

Gigi, the prized poodle.
She enjoyed 22 dog summers.
Dogs days in the Arizona's sun,
She left with a dog print in our hearts.
