Merry Christmas to all my friends!!

Merry Christmas to all.... and to all a good night!

Merry Christmas!!

Who is almost ready for Christmas??   (We're not!)    But to get me in the holiday spirit, I decided to post some pics of Jaz and one of her most popular videos "Dog Saves Christmas!"  (This video always gets really popular around December- with a ton of comments.)

One of the more amusing trains of conversation revolved around Jasmine only delivering one present to a house that had two dogs!  And they wanted to know if that other dog was naughty.   To tell you the truth, I didn't even notice that until someone pointed it out!!   You'll notice from all the blooper footage at the end that sometimes you're just lucky to get what you get!  And you have to piece it together to make it work!!  I have a basic story line idea in my head, but nothing too elaborate!   So, to answer their question, I don't know!  I never thought about it before now!!  ;)

Merry Christmas to my friends all over the world!  May you be filled with the peace, love, and joy that comes this time of year.   

Jaz is on @babble! :D

Santa brought Jasmine a present too!  (She was a good doggie this year, so she deserved it.)  :)

 The funny thing I only asked her to hold it in her mouth.  She did the "sit pretty" all by herself.  I guess she knows the routine by now!!  ;)

I found out today that Jasmine's Christmas video (Dog Saves Christmas) is being featured on Babble.com!  :D

That's pretty cool!!

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas with your loved ones!  

Merry Christmas - from Jasmine! :)

Jasmine is checking out the presents under the tree.  We must have been good this year.  :)

Instead of sending out Christmas cards this year, I decided to spread a little holiday cheer by sharing our Santa Paws video:



I hope you and your families have a wonderful Christmas, and that this season will be filled with peace and love.  I think this year especially everyone is focusing more on what's truly important.   So make sure to tell your friends and family how much they mean to you.  

Here's a great quote that I like:

"This Christmas, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again." --Howard W. Hunter

Merry Christmas from my family to yours.  :)

Dog Saves Christmas- & goes to school. ;)

My friend on Facebook just wrote this to me: 

"My daughter's 2nd grade teacher shares YouTube videos w/ the kids, during their 'brain break' time. Most of the videos involve dogs. So, she's sharing this one w/ her teacher tomorrow for the class to watch!"

How fun is that! :D     



 Jaz just loves kids.  I think she picks up on their energy and enthusiasm for life.    We've visited schools in my area, but it's fun to think about kids in different states enjoying Jasmine's dog tricks too.  I love listening to kids laugh.  It's the best sound in the world.  If you hear of someone else sharing Jasmine's trick videos, please let me know!  :)   

Woohoo! Jaz is on RTM's website!

:D I just discovered Jasmine's new Christmas video is on Right This Minute's website!! How fun is that? They wrote something really sweet about her too.

The caption says:

"We all know about Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen... but what about Jasmine? This adorable canine is Santa's newest helper, and has definitely become one of our favorites. Watch as she jumps to action after getting a request from Santa himself."

And my friend Stacy wrote me and said she saw Jasmine on Channel 3 news! (and she was able to record it!) I knew she was going to be on ABC 15, because they emailed me. But I wish I would have known about the other ones! Oh well- it's all good!! :D The whole point of this is to bring love and laughter to others. Jasmine can't help but make you smile. So the more people's day she brightens, the better. Even if I don't hear about it.

I'm just still amazed that we were able to pull together that video in that short of time! It's because I have some WONDERFUL friends who helped me every step of the way!! :D (and some good neighbors who agreed when I randomly knocked on their door and said, "can I videotape your dog?" LOL. This was a very last minute project. But I guess that's how I roll! ;)

Jasmine's new video made the news!

Jasmine's new Christmas video made the news!!

It's featured right now on the ABC 15 website.

And they said it might be airing today (Dec 26th) on the 3:00 or 4:00 newscast. (If it doesn't get bumped for real news!)

Pretty fun! I just barely uploaded that video on Saturday (Christmas Eve), and it's only been 2 days. But it's received over 4,300 views!! WOW!

Well, I hope you guys all had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones.

If Jaz does end up making it on TV later today, I'll try to get a copy to share with you guys.

Have a wonderful week. :)

Santa Paws- Santa's Little Helper

It's done!! Just in the nick of time!! Here's Jasmine's new Christmas video!!

I somehow got it into my head that I wanted to make a Christmas video, and didn't start it until Dec. 20th! So I had 5 days to get all this together!! I couldn't have done it without some wonderful friends. My friend Deena helped brainstorm the plot, Mindy came over to help record and be the "key grip"! (whatever that is!) lol. Luke donated his time to be Santa. And mostly, my friend Stacy spent the last 4 days LIVING at my house- helping me film, be the creative director, and piece it all together! We went around the neighborhood, hoping to that my neighbors who owned dogs would be home!! But it worked!

There's no way I could have pulled this off without these people! THANK YOU for making this happen!!!!

And to everyone- MERRY CHRISTMAS from Jasmine!!!

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your friends and loved ones. (Both human and furry!)

(and to answer your question, yes, I did have to hot glue those cookies to the plate!!) ;)
