HI All,
Well, it's that busy time of year already! Mommy took me to Hollywood Paws (my talent agency's) pre-Halloween party two weeks ago! We had a blast, but I was so exhausted as during the day I had also sold my cards at the annual Paddle Tennis Contest! We both dressed as bunny's but she was more the "playboy bunny" and I was the bunny rabbit!
The only silly thing that happened was mommy was interviewed by KCal TV for a Petshow segment and was going on and on about me and my exploits with Zac Efron, with Dog Tales TV, with all my volunteer work and training. When they asked to see my tricks, she put me on the ground and I was so exhausted from the selling of my cards at Venice Beach, that I fell over on my side and fell asleep. I had my legs stiff like riga-mortis and I looked like I was out cold. She pushed me on my side and said to the TV crew: Well, he's now doing "on his side"! They laughed but the interview went cold after that! The only thing they wanted was to see the Zac Efron photo shoot and I said: Call my agent!!
So, yesterday Mommie and I went to The Ronald MacDonald House for kids with major diseases like cancer, lupis, etc. They had it all decorated like a Halloween haunted house and fabulous witches, etc. I did my silly tricks and this time performed like a champ!! Too bad I didn't impress mommy at the TV appearance interview! I dressed as Count Dracula in a scary costume and cape and mommy was Elvira in a long Black wig and gorgeous black dress. We took loads of photos with the kids, they loved me and I was a big ham!! I rolled over, did sommersaults and acted like Snoopy kicking my legs up in the air wildly! They taught me tricks and the kids were fabulous! What a wonderful therapuetic evening and even though the kids mostly didn't speak English: again alot of kids from Iraq and from Guam, etc...we had a special communication and the kids all understood the language of love and laughter.
Tomorrow night Mommy is putting on another Halloween Party at the Boys and Girls Club for 22 children and handing out loads of candy treats and video movie prizes for the children that win certain games. She is taking her ral estate partner and another close friend and again I'll be little count dracula! I know we'll make the kids laugh and smile as they love me alot!
Boy, it is fun to be a therapy dog and bring joy to all I see!
By for now!

Special Dementia Clinic Program I created!
Good morning fans!
Just to let you know, we had a very successful morning on October 16, 2009 entertaining about 40 Dementia Patients at OPICA for an hour! Mommy lead the presentation and made it extremely interactive. She introduced both of us, asked them to guess what type of dog I was and created contests with the questions and answers! She asked how much I weighed and one woman guessed exactly 22 pounds! We gave her a free greeting card of mine and she loved it. We drew upon their own memories with dogs and got the patients to participate. Also, we showed my TV show from 2 years ago on Dog Tales.
One of the volunteers told my mom she was a natural "teacher" and very patient and should think about this as an alternate career! Mom did get a teaching credential in the mid 70's from UCLA but didn't use it alot and got into sales!
So, this is a nice hobby for her and I enjoy it as they all give me treats and also pick me up and pet me! We had a great time. The next day we went to the Paddle Tennis Doubles Tournament at the beach and again sat at the Wilson Booth. People remembered me, of course and bought more of my greeting cards! It was very hot so we stayed until 1PM as I was drained. That night we went to my Hollywood Paws Party and mom and I dressed as bunnies...she a "playboy bunny" and a platinum wig and me an easter bunny!
I was so tired, that when she was interviewed on KCAL TV for a petshow, I literally fell asleep on the floor! Mom was beside herself as this doesn't really show off all the tricks I've learned. Next time she'll bring treats and put them under my nose like smelling salts!!
By for now!

Greeting Cards a Hit on Venice Beach Boardwalk!
HI all,
My mommy has been a bit under the weather..her yearly "bronchial" stuff, so she didn't let me use her computer! Finally, here is the update! On Saturday we went to Venice Beach, California with all the crazy people and were invited to sit at the Wilson Booth for sporting goods as a paddle tennis tournament was going on and the head champion of the country loves me so much, she said come and sell my cards!!
We did fairly well and plan to do it again. I find when I throw myself on the pavement in front of 100's of people and do my silly stuff like the crawl or rolling around, people begin to take photos like the papparazzi and then I cooly direct them to my booth! We had alot of fun. We were supposed to go to the Ronald Mac Donald Home for kids with cancer to entertain them and cheer them up yesterday, but mommy was sick and thought it a real bad idea to go. Darn it! I really enjoy being with kids. We're still on for our annual Halloween Party at the Boys and Girls Club on the 29th of October at 4PM and plan to dress as Count Dracula and have mommy dress as Elvira. She even has a long black wig so it should be fun.
That's it for now! Talk soon.

Alright: My greeting cards are Truly Launched!!
HI everyone!
I'm so excited that my greeting cards are launched on Wendy's web site! We got our first order yesterday!!
I'm also going to make a guest appearance at the National Paddle Tennis Tournament sponsered by Wilson this Saturday October 10, 2009 from 9am to 4PM (I'll be there for a few hours in the morning) to be the "mascot" and sell my cards in person! You're all welcome to come!
We've been a bit busy doing work both the phone systems that my mom sells and the real estate on the side and then my business! So, although I've had a couple play dates with Rosey, we got too busy and haven't yet gone to the dementia clinic. We will though probably tomorrow.
I'm also doing a special one hour program for them next Friday at OPICA and show my Dog Tales TV show appearance and entertain them again. We like to do this interactively so they use their minds and jog their memory banks as dementia is a sad condition that comes on to many people and we're trying to "fight against" it and make them emotionally and mentally whole!
Thanks for understanding! That's it for now...

Visiting OPICA: Outpatient Dementia Clinic
Hey all!
Sorry I haven't written in a few days. Mommy has kept me busy plus I've been in a bad mood as I had an ear infection and she keeps throwing drops down my ear which really tickles me and bugs me! Anyways, I"m much better so we went to the Dementia Clinic in West LA and had a ball with the people. They may want me to come for their Halloween Parade and I'd be thrilled as I already have my Count Dracula Costume in "tow"! I'm reserved so far also for the Boys and Girls Club to put on a Halloween show on the 29th of October.
I was passed around the people like a bowling ball! They all love to hold me and think of me as a stuffed toy! They smile and interact with me and I do believe I have a tremendous impact on them and make them feel good and jog their memories to ask about me! I fell asleep on one lady and then I actually licked one assistant's toes. She is in a wheelchair and goes barefoot so I made her feel good by sucking on her toes. Don't worry! This is a Frenchie characteristic and normal behavior for us funny dogs.
On another note, I went to visit Rosey to make sure she wasn't all upset that I date other dogs too. I gently explained to her that Georgie Girl is on her way out and I'm phasing Rosey as my main squeeze and have one back up girlfriend dog named Maria. Maria lives right down the street and isn't quite so hyper and possessive so I must remind mommy to take me there again too.
With Rosey, she is such a girl! She literally screams out loud when she hears me coming towards her gate. She even pushes her foot underneath the gate to "reach out" to try to touch me. I look down at the lone foot and just shake my head thinking : Oh boy!! We're in for some wild fun again.
I truly love playing with Rosey but I must ask her to be a bit less forceful as she literally keeps my cheek in her mouth and all my extra folds of skin (that protect a frenchie) in her mouth and then she drags me around by the cheek!!
We're fine when we chase each other and race really fast around her backyard. There is plenty of water and we just roll around in the water and become really messy. But, we can't stop touching each other, even when we're exhausted....so I guess this must be true love! I'm getting there...I know she's in love with me but it takes us guys a bit longer to realize I may have to "commit" to her alone. In the meantime, it's good for mommy as she had a date for dinner and I get all my fun and exhaustion so she can enjoy her evening. All is good so I'll keep you informed of new developements with Rosey and my other career activities. I believe, by the way that my greeting cards will be on line officially in about 3 days. Mommy is just sorting out the last details of costs. I know when she walks and people see me, they buy cards out of her hands immediately as they all love me so much! What a phenomenon!! I'm happy she's creating a new stream of income that she will enjoy.
By for now!
