October 28, 2010: Halloween Party at Boys and Girls Club Venice, Ca
Good evening! Boy, it took mommy a long time to get into her account. Well, her good friend Heather and her helped me put on the greatest Halloween party ever! Heather had a friend donate 20 gorgeous red TY stuffed animal toys to the kids. They absolutely loved them. We also brought them all candy and other prizes.
It was a bit noisy, but I didn't mind as mommy brought these dog peanut butter biscuit treats and all the kids got to play with me and teach me tricks! It worked out well! I ate a lot of food and the kids kept playing with me! All in all we had a blast. The kids are a bit wild and ages 6-8 years old but I know they love me very much and kept petting me and playing with me. At the very end some of the older kids came in as they love me too.
I tried to steal some candy, but mommy caught me in the act. Her friend Heather took loads of photos so we'll post these as soon as they come out.
By for now!

We did the infomercial
Wow! How exciting! We filmed the infomercial for the fabulous Whoa Bowl that helps me eat alot slower. We did this last Thursday and my mommy got professional makeup and hair. She looked fabulous. We did one take and they loved us. We can't wait until it comes out and see it nationwide on TV along with all the other participants. They loved how mommy did and promised to keep her on a list for future castings of other commercials, etc.
They all loved us and I did well on the set. I can't wait until my career really takes off.
We had a great 3 day holiday for Memorial Day. I went to see my girlfriend Rosey and played for 1/2 hour and was exhausted.
I had gone on Friday to the Dementia Clinic and the people appreciate me so much. I'm happy to give them pleasure and fun. They remember me so well which is great.
Then, mommy's friend had a home party on Memorial Day and they invited me as a guest. I was on my best behavior and they gave me extra treats.
Until later.

We're doing a Dog Infomercial Thursday!
I am so excited! Mommy and me are doing a special infomercial representing a fabulous new product going on the market that will enable me to eat about 10 times slower! You know that Frenchies are fast eatters and suck up alot of air and don't take a breath but gobble down food like their life depended upon it. Part of eatting fast is "survivor instinct" and part of it is I am a big baby and always thinking mommy will leave out the front door and abandon me (I have huge psychological nuerotic issues about being away from her ) and so I scurry as fast as I can and even stop mid "eatting" if she walks towards the bathroom or front door!
Alot of people call me a "wooze"or big baby and that makes me mad! I'm just protecting my mother. In any event, we will be in make up, wardrobe changes, videos will play on a green screen in back of us with loads of my photos also prominently placed...so yeah!!! I'm so excited to be in this infomercial. A friend of ours video taped us in a "trial run" before and after eatting with this special bowl! I went from my standard wolfing it down in 30 seconds to 5 minutes! The ridges and curves make it impossible to eat fast so I notice I have a better tummy, less gas, stay full longer and in better health.
Mommy is trying on all sorts of outfits for the big event. We can't wait until it's on air. I'm even going to remind them of my You-tube video at : rocky loves big beautiful bitches. This was when I dated an 80 pound dog named Georgie Girl. My latest gal/pal is Rosy and she is a year younger than me, the same color and also a Frenchie. We play by grabbing each others jowls, etc and run in tandem together in my mommy's friend's backyard. We tire each other out which is great as mommy doesn't have to walk me so much.
See you on TV...
Until later.

Correction about the 2010 Bull Dog Beauty Contest
Good morning fans!
It appears because of my funny, outgoing nature and to be honest because I was so darn tired, I had jumped onto the throne for the champion and the Beauty Contestant Judges assumed I was the Champion French Bull Dog and forgot it was Napoleon! So, they inadvertantly just gave mommy the bag of treats and the certificate. We had double checked this with the registration booth, but then got an email from Justin stating the prize was only for the number one!
I won Top 10 and also Best Smile...as we already know my smile is infectious!
Anyways, just kicking back now! Mommy is happy as I was in the 2009 video created by Justin's people and showed me proudly crawling in a kings outfit down the red carpet. We also are getting a full DVD from channel 3 in Garden Grove by Gus who interviewed my mom and I at The Long Beach Marketplace!
I can't wait to get that interview!
So, alas,....I'll keep chugging along and maybe next year they'll see what my mommy sees and hundreds of other people...I'm a great excellent of a quality "show dog" Frenchie and my pedigree of my dad The Rock and my mom Mirium and my sister Tina, my nephew Ice Cube, my grandpa Milo, etc, etc have the champion french bull dog stock. I"m from a special breed of Frenchies called the "Bali Hai" line which shows the classic larger squared off head and the tight body, great legs and the tail just at the right position sitting above on the back end of me! Mommy just didn't buy me as a "show dog" and I"m so happy she didn't because I"m a creature of "comfort" actually and love to sit, crawl, lay and be in people's laps! Forget the hard stuff!
Until later,

Rocky wins Top 10 most Beautiful French Bull Dog: Justin Rudd Contest 2010
Hi I'm writing on behalf of Rocky this morning!
My adorable little love muffin and chunk of heaven has won top 10 most beautiful French Bull Dog in Justin Rudd's annual Bull Dog Beauty Contest, 2010 in Long Beach! There were about 100 French bull dogs and a few hundred English there and then a pug contest and a senior dog contest! It was quite frenetic and hectic there as he did it in a Long Beach shopping center. The venue was a bit too crowded but we had a blast. He was interviewed on a local cable channel for Garden Grove and I'll call them today to ask them for a copy of the DVD.
Rocky did his regular antics and tricks on stage to wow the girls voting for him! They laughed and smiled as Rocky has such a performer personality..much like his mommy (me)! By the way, we may be allowing a professional French Bull Dog Breeder to use his frozen semen to have a litter of his puppies. I'm hoping this works out in the next 6 months or so.
Rocky jumped on the throne on stage before the results were even in! The audience laughed and cheered! He didn't end up being number one champion, so had to jump down much to his dismay! But, we hit the top 10 and the one year free supply of Dog's Well dog food and the chicken jerky treats which are high in glucosamine, etc and good for their hips is a wonderful surprise and well appreciated gift! He has "earned his keep" so to speak for the year!
We babied him the rest of the day and gave him extra treats so he could basque in all his glory! He is such a great animal and I love him more than words will ever express! He has my heart and soul and the man who truly wins my heart will have to be as sweet, funny and endearing as my boy Rocky!
Until later,
His Mommy, Ilisa Gillmer !

Visiting the Monarch Retirement Home
Hi everyone!
I got to go to the glamorous retirement home that my mommy's friend's mother in law lives at! It is the Ritz Carlton of "retirement homes! We were a bit nervous as mommy thought the people might be rich and snotty, but , all was well when we got there!
The audience were all animal lovers and loved me so much! I was so happy to make them happy. We spent one and 1/2 hours there. We discussed the history of French Bull Dogs, the purpose of training. We showed them loads of my tricks and then had then show me tricks and they gave me some of my treats. Then, we showed them my TV Show "Dog Tales" and everyone laughed and enjoyed it.
They asked my mommy alot of questions about how to take care of me, what type of dog they should get..as they do allow the older people that live there to have small dogs!
We had a great time and it was so elegant they served fancy water with limes in it, coffees, great chocolate chip cookies my mommy tasted! We had a blast. I got tired after awhile and jumped up on one of the elegant sofas and sat with the patrons. They all loved me and smiled. We even sold two of my greeting cards that appear on Wendy Nan's Web site under "What's Hot in the Shop" !
I truly have fun getted petted and fawned over and love making the people happy! By the way, February 28, 2010 I"m entering the 400 dog Bull Dog Beauty Contest again with Justin Rudd sponsering it in Long Beach. Wish me luck!
By for now!

New Visit and Program for Dementia Clinic!
HI fans! I went last Thursday to the dementia clinic and mommy and I did our third formal "program" for the adults on "how to take care of a dog", having them remember memories of their own dogs, their dogs' names, etc and also showing them how to do tricks and treat me!
We then turned on the Dog Tales Video and showed them the segments of mommy and I in the video. It was great. Everyone loved the show and enjoyed petting me and bringing me around the guests or "patients". This is an out patient facility so it worked out well.
I enjoyed everyone and one man was funny and ended up chewing on one of the treats so they had to hurry and take it out of his mouth!!
Anyways, they didn't remember we did this program a few times...so that is the good news! I'm so happy I can be there for them and offer emotional support!

A visit to the Dementia Clinic: Not always perfect!
HI everyone,
Mommy took me to the OPICA clinic a week ago. I just wanted to tell you that it is not always a "perfect" match or experience. That particular day two things happened: 1. a lady there had a temper tantrum and was banging her fists loudly on the coffee table. She scared me and had to be taken aside in another room to calm her down. 2. I sat with a man I normally like and when I saw my mommy walk away, even though she was truly just sitting on a couch, I got so insecure, I leapt off his lap and ran to her and stayed by my side!
I guess I express this so as to show you people considering allowing your dog to be a therapy dog to "expect the unexpected"! Not all days go perfectly and not all days will your dog be in the mood to entertain others! This is a major realization! Don't pressure yourself! Just know that people, patients, kids you entertain or just have a dog play with are not always in the mood to do so!
We're going again in a week or so and I"m sure we'll be "raring to go"!
All is well! It's just part of my job as an angel therapy dog and I take this job seriously!
xoxo

Donating to charities for Xmas!
Good morning fans!
I've been busy with loads of Xmas parties and donating my time entertaining even at Channukah parties!
We went this weekend to the Ronald MacDonald Home for kids with Cancer and other serious diseases and brought over 40 larger beanie babies for the boys and girls. We played with a couple kids and gave them good cheer.
Yesterday we dropped over 24 cute teddy bear beanie babies with Irish sweaters on them for the Boys and Girls Club. Mommy was on Wendy's fabulous radio show on Dec 8, 2009 and you may look her up under
http://www.wendynanrees.com/ and find the drop down for her radio show and it will send you to another page where you may go to the archives and hear her live on the air! It was all about therapy dogs and how to make your dog a therapy dog. Mommy and Wendy laughed alot on the air and had a great time! Mommy did a great job of informing the public of the serious need to create more therapy dogs to help others.
Have a wonderful holiday! Until later..

Christmas Event on Montana Ave Brentwood
HI fans!
Sorry I haven't written in awhile. I did go back to the dementia clinic and had a great time! My mommy is leaving for Cancun, Mexico in a few days and I won't have access to a computer for a week.
So, we went on Dec 4, 2009 at night to the annual Xmas walk on Montana! Montana, for those of you who don't know California is a gorgeous street in Brentwood area. Once a year they open up all the shops at night and 100's of people come to see the stores, they serve apple cider and egg nog , cookies , meatballs, etc and have carrollers singing great Xmas songs!
Mommy was creative and dressed me in my old Santa Claus outfit, complete with beard and red sweater and put me in a baby buggy with red and green streamers! She elegantly rolled me down the street from shop to shop with her sister and a friend, but her sister starting giving her glares as she kept rolling over her feet! Ouch!!
Anyways, kids came swarming upon me and over 30 school kids were screaming and laughing in glee when they saw a little "Santa Pup"! and took loads of photos with me. I'm sure I"m on more screen savers and will be used to make more Christmas cards this year as I truly looked like a munchin Santa with a wrinkled head and muzzle! Parents, and older people all smiled and laughed as at first they were expecting to see a real baby under the blanket! Nope! It was just the angel therapy dog Rocky looking funny as ever. I had a great time as I was rolled up and down the streets and could sleep and relax except when the people insisted on taking my photo! Mommy kept yelling at me: Rocky: watch me, watch me, pose, etc. I was very cooperative and looked at mommy straight in the eye so that all the Iphones got my photo perfectly.
We had a great time and created good cheer for 100's of people. What a mom I have...always thinking of ways to make people laugh and have fun and give fond memories to kids who will talk about me for years!
I must run. We will continue after she gets back from Cancun!

Visiting Opica right before Thanksgiving 2009!
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!

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.....

Halloween Parties 2009!
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!
