Hi Fans!
I"m soooo excited! I hadn't heard from my first agency Le Paws that trained me how to do set training for print ads, commercials, movies, etc in along time. Out of the clear blue sky, mommy got an email informing her that Chicos wants to use me on April 6th, 2011 in one of their print ad campaigns. They are also using other dogs, but I get to come by myself and pose and perform with the beautiful models and elegant womens' clothing. Mommy is so proud of me and we can't wait to see my photo in their catalogs, and who knows, maybe some nice magazines! I"m "earning my keep" so to speak this month in rare form.
Anyways, I must keep my face safe and not injured before then. So, that means I must be careful playing with other dogs, including my gal-pal, fellow frenchie Rosie who tends to play for "keeps". She loves to grab my jowls a bit rough, so I may have to wait until after the photo shoot to take up with her again!
I'm going to get my beauty rest. So, that is it for now! Until later.....
Sending all my love,
xoxo

Potentially Exciting news
Hi All!
I haven't written to you my fans in such a long time. I"m potentially excited as one of my femaile girl friends,
is pregnant. We're not sure if she is just having one or two puppies but will know very soon! I hope everything works out well as Frenchies are a difficult breed and I just found out that my sister Tina who was owned by my original breeder, Larry did die in childbirth as they do caserian secitons. So, I'm wishing her well and hope the birth will be safe and successful.
I've been doing my typical thing: entertaining every couple weeks at the Dementia Clinic and putting on holiday parties for the Boys and Girls Club. I've taken a break lately as mommy is busy studying for her insurance license and finding it very challenging and massively complicated so she doesn't have as much time to indulge my habits and good will visits. I have to calm her down as she has been quite nervous as she hasn't been in school for many years and didn't pass the state exam the first time.
In any event, she let's me play with a local Frenchie Girlfriend, Rosie so that keeps me active and having fun. I find that I relax and play the submissive one with Rosie as she is quite in love with me, bossy and dominating...but I don't mind as I normally am the agressive one with others and it gives me time to rest and have fun.
We chase each other all over my mommy's friend's backyard in Marina Del Rey.
Anyways, I thought I'd check in and let you know, all is well, and my birthday is coming up. I'll be five years old on April 26, 2011 and excited about becoming more mature.
Sending you all love until next time,
xoxo

Visit to Dementia Clinic: Brought them photos!
HI one and all! To my great fans. I went with mommy today to give the OPICA day care dementia patients photos of them with me! They really appreciated it and loved them alot. I get alot of love and kisses from them . Although I"m very relaxed around them and kind of take on their energy as they are not so energetic, I know I"m doing them alot of good. It truly perks them up!
I can't wait till mommy develops the other film of me and her adventures this past Halloween 2010! I was in a Frenchy Bull Dog Halloween party with 30 other Frenchies! I thought I'd win as I dressed up as a Biker Dude...but low and behold....a dog named Pound Cake was one of the winners and dressed up like a banana =split. Another one was a duck! We had loads of fun and I looked a bit like Willy Nelson.
Anyways, good bye for now. Will catch up soon with more adventures.

More Halloween events
HI one and all! Well, mommy kept me jam packed with events for Halloween. We went to the Dementia Clinic the Friday before Halloween. I wore my Dracula Costume and the people enjoyed holding me and taking photos with me. Mommy has to go to Costco to develop the film.
Saturday night she went out with her friend Louise and her sister Deborah to a big party at Louise's sisters. It was very elegant and everyone dressed up beautifully. Then, Sunday morning of Halloween day I went to a Frenchie Halloween party. I dressed up as a biker dude and looked tough in my leather outfit and bandanna around my head. Everyone thought I looked like one tough dude. There were 30 other dogs and they wore great costumes. We had a lot of fun! I ran around and didn't fight too much with others. Then we went out to the Coffee Bean and I relaxed as the party was exhausting.
Then, at the end of the day we went to Montana Ave and 100's of kids were there. I was in a baby buggy and wore my count dracula costume! The kids took so many photos and smiled and laughed. We had a great time.
Until later
xoxo

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 !

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!

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!

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!!

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.....
