Dog Halloween Video

This is one of my favorite trick videos!

It showcases all of Jasmine's tricks, and all my friends' dogs too!

Happy Howl-aween!  ;)

Jaz will be on #AnimalPlanet tonight!

Jasmine is going to be on Animal Planet tonight!  (Sat. Dec. 22nd)

Her basketball clip is going to be featured on the show "The Year in Pup Culture"... which airs tomorrow at 9 pm ET/PT.  (But check your local listings to be sure about the time.)

People have emailed me through Jasmine's Facebook page asking how I got her in this show.  Well, a few months ago, a production company that works for Animal Planet contacted me through YouTube.  They had seen the "Dogs Play Basketball" video (below) and wanted permission to use it in an upcoming show.  So of course I said yes!  :)  I gave them permission to use all the clips below (after contacting all the owners), so I don't know if they are just going to use Jasmine's or others. I guess we'll find out tomorrow!  It's probably only going to be a few seconds of TV time.... but it's still fun.  So I thought I'd let all our friends know.



So now I have to remember to go over to my friend's house to record it, because I don't have cable TV!  ;)

"The Year in Pup Culture"- airing today- Sat. Dec. 22nd at 9 pm ET/PT.

YouTube videos= TV Time

   Next month, Jasmine and I will be traveling again!  This time we're headed to Salt Lake City, UT to attend the BlogPaws convention!  It's June 21st-23rd.  In the entertainment industry, everything happens last minute.  I didn't know we were going to New York to be on Good Morning America until a few days prior!   But the nice thing about pet conventions is that they are planned months in advance!   

I'm really excited about BlogPaws!!  Thus far, all my experiences with the people from BlogPaws have been positive.  It is a well-organized, well-planned convention that I am excited to be a part of!

We are going to be giving a presentation on Friday, June 22nd about "The Power of YouTube".


My friend Lauren (and her trick dog Paige) are going to be there with us!!  It will be so great to see her again!!  Both Jasmine and Paige initially gained their popularity from YouTube videos.  


Jasmine and Paige have both been on TV numerous times.  Sometimes it's live.  But in Jasmine's case, more often they air her YouTube videos.  (especially internationally.)


Here's just a sample of Jasmine's TV appearances:

So... this is proof of the power of YouTube.  5 years ago, I would have never dreamed my dog would be as popular as she is!  It's kind of surreal.  But... YouTube lets other dog lovers share your videos.  Thus now, Jasmine has more friends than I do!  But it's okay.  I know people smile and laugh when they see her tricks.  So it makes me happy that she can now help people smile all over the world.

Sat. April 21st! Jaz is on #WhoLetTheDogsOut!

It's almost here!!  THIS Saturday, April 21st will be Jasmine's big TV appearance!


I can't believe she's going to be on national TV twice this month!  April 10th was a big day- her dog tricks video was shown on the Anderson Cooper show!!  (If you missed it, click HERE to watch it!)  I was so thrilled!


AND NOW... this coming Saturday, she'll get to be on the season finale of "Who Let The Dogs Out" on Animal Planet!!  They actually flew us to Universal Studios last month to film this.  And I've had to keep the results a secret for a WHOLE MONTH!  But now, after Saturday, I can FINALLY talk about it!!!  :D


Needless to say, we had a BLAST!  We met so many talented dogs, and wonderful people.  I wish it didn't have to end!  


Here's a preview of Saturday's show!





If it looks like Jaz is running with her shopping cart at the end, that's because she is!  The ground was a little slanted at Universal Studios.  (Which worked out great for the skateboarding dogs, they went really fast!)  But it was a little more complicated for the shopping dog!


If you missed the 3rd episode, that was when they invited us out to California to perform live at the finale.  Here's that video:





So... yeah... 3 more days until the finale!!!   What an incredible experience!  Probably one of highlight's of our lives.  :)     I can't wait to tell you all about it.  (after Saturday.)  ;)
