More Sad News

We just learned that one of my local neighborhood dog buddies, Sandy, has gone missing and is presumed to have passed away (she was rather old and not in great health). Sandy was the pomeranian at the end of our street. She was a bit of a lovable nuisance. She would occassionally walk from her house to our house to come into our front yard and bark at us. She regularly chased joggers and bikers who made the mistake of running or riding past her house. We'll miss seeing you on our daily walks, Sandy.

Some Sad News

Today I learned that my good dog-friend, Cerebus ('Bus) passed away. He was a good old dog and a good old friend and we will all miss him.

Much love to Bus's family, Paula, Rich, Ed, and especially to his fuzzy companion, Marlon, who is probably lost without him. Let's get together, buddy!

A belated photo to add; here I am with Cerebus, a whole buncha years ago:

Movie Update: Trailer

My good friend Jonathan alerted me to the fact that the trailer for my new film is out!!!! I'm not actually in it, as I'm kind of the surprise famous dog cameo they didn't want to give away. But you can see the basic plot, and see some of my buddies, Mark, Christian, and Amy. Also, at about 2 minutes in, there's a giant fight among a bunch of women and that's the scene that we watched over and over again. Check it out:

New Bed, Same Problem

Bridget got me a brand new bed. It's lovely. Thank you!! Here I am enjoying it:

So it's nice, but then this happened:



And then, even worse, this happened:


I can't believe I have to put up with this.

Help!

Update on my forthcoming film

Late at night, when Bridget is wasting time on the interwebs, she sometimes likes to look up the status of my movie. The internets are abuzz lately with news of The Fighter, and someone has posted a short clip. While I don't actually appear in this clip, this is actually the scene we watched over and over again -- we saw the full rehearsal and choreography of this melee. Warning: this link takes you to a YouTube video which may well be taken down at any point, and it shows a big fight among Mark Wahlberg and 9 or so women.

The movie is still getting Oscar buzz, with a rumor of a release date around Thanksgiving. Other than that, there really isn't much information out there. We're keeping pretty quiet on the project to build anticipation.

We can't wait!

This is just to say

Today on our walk, Bridget noticed that my, uh, leavings looked a little strange. It is SO embarrassing that she pays attention to such things. What's even more embarrassing is that she asked Jake if I had eaten anything different while she was away yesterday. I can't believe they talk about stuff like that! Anyway, Jake thought a bit, and then remembered that when he walked into the pantry, the giant tub of cashews was without its lid. He had thought nothing of it, and just replaced the lid, but thanks to Bridget's nosey snooping, the two of them pieced together my crime. Here is my confession (with apologies to Mr. William Carlos Williams).

Dear Bridget and Jake,

I have eaten
the cashews
that were in
the pantry

and which
you were probably
saving
to have with your gin and tonic

Forgive me
they were so delicious
so salty
and so crunchy

woof.

Brownie Bandit!

Today Bridget came home from work and dropped her bag by the door before heading for the bathroom. I took this as an invitation to stick my head into her bag and see what was in there. Well, dear readers, I hit the JACKPOT! There was a foil-wrapped package of BROWNIES in there!!! Woo hoo! Before Bridget could finish her bathroom business, they were GONE! So YUM!

Bridget was pretty upset. If you see her, try not to mention brownies or baked goods of any sort.

By the way, I know dogs aren't supposed to eat chocolate. But who makes up these rules? I'm fine. In fact, I'm awesome!

Also, just so you know, any bag sitting on the floor WILL be searched. By me. Personally. If there is food in there, I WILL find it. And eat it. Don't test me.
