Wow! I finally got into my own Blog!

 I must say that although I appreciate google allowing me to blog, it is such a pain in my "tush" to remember user names and log in. They make it so complicated and I finally got in using the browser Firefox!

So much to catch up on! Well, since we last spoke I have done many more photo shoots. Including one about goggles that I wore adorable blue goggles and even brown ones with my main agent Joel Norton from Hollywood Paws. He is a hoot to work for and loves me very much.  He takes me over night to his ranch where I play with his menagerie of animals including a dog and cats.  He is so friendly and the photo shoot earns good money while money was in a class all day for work...so it worked out perfectly and she did NOT have to pay for a babysitter.

Then, the following week I was called by Ms. Sarah from Savoy  Animals and she owns the lovely French Bull Dog Brigette known as Stella on the Modern Family.  Sarah also picked me up and lives in the Acton -Lancaster area and had me do a sleep over also. She asked mommy to bring my favorite toys as that was to be part of the photo shoot. But, I"m a bit territorial and although I loved Brigette I got mad that she would take my toys and I wasn't good about sharing.  They had to forget about that particular scene and went onto the next scene which was a really nice bedroom scene with a pretty model and me and Brigette sleeping next to her.  Because I'm somewhat of a method actor, I took it a bit too seriously and fell asleep on the bed. They heard me snoring and the cameramen we all smiling and laughing and had to wake me up!  All in all, the cast and crew  loved us. While in the trailers they took loads of off set photos to everyone's Iphones and couldn't get enough of us!  I have to work on my sharing skills...but spoke to a lot of other dog owners and many dogs don't share their favorite toys.

Mommy is so thrilled as we did a 2 1/2 day shoot for a second pilot being presented to networks for our future Beverly Hills Canine Country Club show.  I got to do a lot of funny things and they even let me try my hand at being a singer.  Although, it took me awhile to bark as I use my lungs sparingly!  We had a blast. Since then, mommy went and saw the screening of the pilot a few weeks  ago and it was so fabulous and entertaining. All my toes and paws are crossed it sells!  Also, mommy did a red carpet Thursday night and it was wonderful. The funny part was she didn't realize it was at the Celebrity Center which is actually on the location of Scientology. We were (or she was as they didn't allow dogs)  held "captive" for 10 minutes listening to their pitch about how much they respect the arts and don't consider themselves a religion.  Then she heard a fabulous concert by a young duo group called Pink Diamonds. It was all catered and a fun night was had by all. There was talk about us doing more interviews by some nice reporters to give us more buzz on Facebook, etc...so we'll see how that goes.
Anyways,  now resting as spent part of my day at coffee with one of mommy's male friends and then playing with my gal pal Rosey. She is the only dog I"m totally smitten with and I let her play the dominant role while I lay back and let her have her affectionate wild side with me!  She is crazy about me and howls and squeals (literally) when her owner let's her know I"m on my way! It is hysterical and the owner promised to video tape it and we can show it on the TV show if it sells.  So everyone wish us luck and as they say in show biz...."See you at  the Movies"!!

My future TV success!!

HI Fans,

I'm working under wraps with two TV pilot opportunities.  One is a reality TV show that mommy would be in along with me and a bunch of wild crazy ladies. We filmed the pilot a couple months ago and the producers want a bit more film and then will present to the studios. The other one, I"m filming end of June for a couple hours and I must present my huge smile ear to ear ! This one is a teenage comedy skit type of show and has a lot of fun energy associated with it. To get me to smile I have a secret formula. I have a huge red and white stuffed animal dog which is much bigger than me. I get on it and start getting all excited, shaking my head back and forth, humping, running with it in my mouth and grabbing it. Mommy pulls it away from me like in a game and I chase her around for it. I get so excited I start to pant and then my Cheshire  grin appears and I look like I"m smiling from ear to ear! It is hysterical and grabs all the fans and females all the time. I look like the joker on Batman when Jack Nicolson has the painted smile on him.  So I hope these both take off as this is a passion and dream of mommy's .  I just go along for the ride!

Also, Joel Norton is either using me for 3 days (if they will pay for training) or one day starting around June 12, 2013.  I don't know what the photo shoot is for, but truly appreciate the work. I like earning my keep and helping mommy pay her bills.  One day I'm going to set her up in a mansion in Beverly Hills or a Beach Front property with huge windows.  I'm having a really fun time with my show biz career and loads of people want my "paw d graph"!  The entire Marina knows me personally and all the shop owners get excited to see me, pet me and go into their restaurants and store fronts.
There is a new store owned by a good looking man named Dave that mom thinks is cute. He is 53 years old and in great shape. He owns a surf shop which also sells, tops, bikinis,  and swim gear. He's a fun man but the best part is he has dog treats in his store. We also stop by there and he puts a dog bowl outside for water.
Well, that's it for now! I'll keep you posted.

Until Later,

All my new jobs 2013 so far!

Good morning fans!

Boy, what a difference a year makes!  I have been super busy with not just one, but TWO Petco print ad jobs with Joel Norton, one of my favorite trainers from Hollywood Paws, another photo shoot the next week in early 2013 with Mike Millioti for a special Travel magazine that discusses Pet Friendly Hotels! This was a hoot as I did all sorts of funny things and spent time in bed with 5 other dogs, lounged around the pool with champagne and played "the bad boy image" as a party boy in one scene.

I can't wait to see the magazine.  Then, I"m getting another commercial job with Carmen Bosley which should be hysterical in two weeks,  and I just filmed a pilot for a reality TV show.

They made me a special birthday party for episode one and I got all the attention complete with party hats,  cakes, gifts and clothes.  I had a blast as they picked me and mommy and others up in a limo!

Tomorrow I go for one more photo shoot to advertise this potential new TV show. Oh, I forgot the most exciting photo shoot!!!  I am on the Cover of USA Weekend with Steve Carell. We're each in a dog cone, plus I took more photos with him for his upcoming magic movie and wore a cute little tuxedo with him. Mommy was in Cancun at the time. We have many copies of the magazine and I pranced all around town showing it to everyone!  My highlight of the year so far.

Onwards and upwards!  I cross my fingers I land on a TV show.

More Jobs Feb 2013! Yeah.....

Hi gang!

Well last we spoke I was all stoked about the Anthem/Bllue Shield Commercial a couple months ago which mommy got through a great commercial production gal named Carmen!  She is super and totally organized.

I got to share a trailer with them and lounge on the sofa between takes.  Since then I did a photo shoot for a product for Macys,  a Pet Co ad coming out (their newsletter flyer)  in March 2013 and a major photo shoot with Steve Carrell the famous actor.  I used to love watching him in "The Office". Mommy wouldn't let me go to the "40 year old Virgin Movie"  as she said it was a bit to racy for my baby dog ears!  I did really well and liked him alot. Joel Norton of Hollywood Paws picked me up the night before and I slept over.  I jumped out of the crate a few times and they finally said (well, I can't really say what they said but ...expletive...you fill in the blanks, caught me and just said "Blank it Rocky"  and put me on a woman assistant's lap in Joel's Van.  I loved the shoot and got to wear a tux along with Steve who is promoting his new movie.  I'm hoping I made the cut as many times as you know in show biz, you get editted out, but the USA Today Newspaper this Sunday will show whether I made the grade!  Either way you get paid, but I enjoyed Steve alot.  He was all business and so was I so no goofing around on this shoot!

Also, doing another shoot on the 12th about a Travel magazine on how to travel with pets. Another agent and highly professional trainer is taking me to that one and I am also up for the 18th.

I'll keep you posted. Also, again, I was submitted for a reality TV show about dogs and their fun life through a friend of mommy's . She did the audtion!  They loved me in my you Tube videos.  So, cross your fingers gang!

That's all for now!
