I’m the Star of Dad’s New Movie

Hey we know I am a Star, but boy it is hard work.

It is odd that Dad and I may be cruising down the street in the car and people are calling for me to turn so they can take my photo.  I thought driving and using your cell phone was illegal?

photoBut on to what’s really going on.  Dad has a school project and needs to make a short video using thousands of pictures.  It’s really a hard job, but as always I am up for the task.  However, this was a little more complicated than I initially realized.

First we picked up uncle Andrew and then headed out for the photo shoot. They really worked me.  I had to wait for food and treats.  They even made me get in the cage a few times with that camera thing clicking away in my face for close to 5 hours!  Dad said I was lucky that I did not have to edit and do all the post work too.  Who’s he kidding?  I will have to be on my best behavior while he is working on this project or else I will get the time outs.

Doesn’t he know I am union and should have Kraft services at my disposal?  Maybe this will be a good video for Mom’s promotional stuff.

On that better note the house has been full of great smells.  Mom has been baking up a storm for her new gluten-free cookie book.  It sounds pretty scientific but I don’t care since she has even made me some cookies.  And I LOVE them!  I wanted the chocolate ones but she said that was bad for me so I got the peanut butter pumpkin ones which were really quite yummy.

Later today I went to visit my lady friend, Viva, who lives in the Palisades and boy is she a looker.  I irritated dad because he could not get a photo of us.  Since this is just a casual thing and not a prom I didn’t think it needed to be posted anywhere on the web.  I want to keep my options open.

OK, I am wiped out by these Memorial Day weekend events.  The parental units work tomorrow so I guess I will be having a holiday all by myself.

Peace out Peeps!

I’m Crazy for Coconut Oil

photoAs you all know I have many of my favorite foods but did you know that one of my most favorite things to lick off Mom’s hands is coconut oil?

Mom likes to stir fry her broccoli in it at night or her morning eggs, but my favorite part is when she puts it on her arms and legs.  I LOVE to lick it off her feet.  I’m not so sure she likes that part so this morning she let me lick my OWN packet of coconut oil from her favorite company Kelapo.

Mom used to blog for them and make up fun recipes for me to get the scraps  but it does not matter to me.  All I care about is getting some of my OWN to lick.  I got some extra this morning since Mom put it on the owie growth that is not going away in between my toes since coconut oil has healing properties – now they just have to figure out how to get me from licking it off so it can actually work….

I’M a STAR and have the Perfect Healthy Lifestyle

Dad went to Uncle Andrew’s house yesterday and look what was up on the wall.  Since I’m a star I thought I would share with you all the things I do right since it seems like this blog is all about my mis-behaving.

Here’s my 10 Best List of Healthy Behaviors:

1.  I was completely potty trained at 8 weeks old

2.  I sleep 10 hours a night without a peep and now on my big boy bed

3.  I can’t get in trouble for bringing everything inside since it is all inside now

4.  I wait patiently with anticipation for  my vitamin and fish oil every day

5.  I make sure to get my exercise every day

6.  I eat my veggies, especially the little crowns

7.  I eat my plain yogurt for probiotics every day

8.  I never complain about the food Mom gives me

9.  Since I’m on my best behavior I get to visit Grandma’s house next week

10. I try to get my fiber every day, even if it is toilet paper

I Try to Balance my Protein and Veggies

 

I tried to be a vegetarian westside dog but I just couldn’t do it.  Mom gets this BIG box every other Wednesday with lots of yummy fruits and veggies from a man named Ben from Hello Harvest.  He’s really nice and drives this BIG truck from Santa Barbara just to bring us a box and maybe a few other people but I don’t know much about that.

 

 

I got into the box this week and ate a few carrots but they were not my favorite.  Dad got frustrated with my trying to chew everything in the house so he bought me this bone – So yummy and he was happy since it took me hours to get all the protein off of it – maybe I’ll get another one soon.
