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!
xoxo
