HI fans!
Mommy took me Tuesday morning to Opica which is the day care activity center for adults with dementia. It was very special today as one particular lady that normally acts very quiet and "catatonic" and does not even look us in the eyes, all of a sudden she reached out to mommy and put her hand out to her! Mommy was so touched, she almost cried and grabbed the lady's hand and held it for a long while! What a wonderful breakthrough and connection.
I was bounced from one person to the next and sat on their laps and gave everyone so much joy! They all laughed as I kept following mommy's eyes and made sure she didn't leave me! The people are so grateful that I"m there. I wished everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and they all smiled at me and laughed. I'm so happy to cheer everyone up!
Happy Holidays!
xoxo

Checking in After Halloween!
HI Fans!
Sorry I've been remiss keeping up with this log! Mommy has closed a real estate deal so we're "in the money" again and she's not only paying off some important bills (and thank God she didn't touch me greeting card "trust fund"and borrow from Peter to pay Paul!!) and will get to go to Cancun this early December as she got what she refers to as a "smokin" deal!!
I have gone back to the Dementia Day Clinic for adults at Opica and they still remembered me as I hadn't been there in a couple weeks. I was a bit off that day and acting a bit babyish and clung to my mommy...which didn't help them too much. But finally, mommy pulled me off her arm that I was clinging to for dear life and put me on many of the patients' laps and made them smile and laugh with me. I think they felt sorry for me as they saw how sad I looked that day! I'm not always perfect and something must have hit me. But, once I got into the swing of things...basically allowing them the "honor" of petting me and pampering me I came out of my gloom and doom and started entertaining them!!
Anyways, I"m going to try to squeeze in one or two visits this next week before Thanksgiving. Mommy is taking me to one of my favorite vacation spots: Carlsbad, California to visit some very close friends. They have a huge Italian family and are such a warm, funny kick to be around. I can't wait. Besides, mom needs a break from hussling selling my cards, selling real estate and selling phone systems.
That's it for now!

2009 Halloween Party at Boys and Girls Club
Hi my fans! Mommy, me, Michelle her real estate partner and her dear friend Dorothy took me to the Venice Boys and Girl's Club to do a huge Halloween party! Around 30 kids showed up! I dressed as Count Dracula. We showed them my tricks and then had them give me treats and teach me tricks! It was great. The kids were really nice, a bit excited and noisy, but we played loads of games with them. Michelle came up with a fabulous game of "who are you dressing up as" for Halloween and had them act out the character and see if we could guess! One little boy did President Obama and made a very mature speech! Mommy gave out loads of candy and all and all we had a great time. I will post the photos when they come out!
On Saturday night, Halloween, again I wore Count Dracula and my auntie Debbie, my mom and I joined Patty and walked up and down Montana Ave in Brentwood. We were hysterical as I was in a baby buggy and loads of kids came up to me and took photos with me. Mommy and her friends are like kids and actually got candy from the fancy stores and even got me special dog cookies. We ended up walking up the wealthy neigborhood and saw a house decorated like Pirates of the Carribean with haunted house characters and cemeteries,etc. It was soooo scary when mommy stepped near a fake large rat in a rat trap! We all screamed! The line to get in the home was 1/2 way down the street. There were loads of police there to protect the neighborhood and I had to act silly and threw myself on the street and rolled around and kicked up my heels in front of them! Young teenage boys yelled and got scared and thought because I was kicking up my feet that I had been run over!! This led to mommy promptly pulling me up by my halter collar and leash and telling me to behave myself. So, unbeknownst to her, when they went to another home, I pulled mom so hard I ended up in the huge mansion and started racing from room to room! The owners' kids started laughing as I was taking my "virtual" tour of their living room, piano, etc. She finally scooped me up and we left. So fans, HAlloween was a tremendous success! The next day I had one final event: a West LA frenchie party and dressed up again, but this time as a bunny rabbit. It was so hot at the park with 30 other Frenchies that we left within an hour so mommy could go to a great open house.
That's it for now! More to follow.....
