One MILLION views on YouTube!! Whoa!

I have some pretty exciting news!  One of Jasmine's dog trick videos just reached a MILLION VIEWS on YouTube!!!  Whoa!!  That's weird to think about!  

I have had so many people from all over the world write to me on Jasmine's YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter account.  They told me how much they love Jasmine and how much her videos make them smile and laugh!

Who knew when I got that cute little puppy that she would end up with friends all over the world??  

And more so, who would have ever thought that I would have been able to do everything I have accompanying her?  I personally have no desire to be on TV, and yet because of Jaz, I've ended up traveling all over the country as her chauffeur!

 We were in New York performing live on Good Morning America. 

 We were in California- performing on Animal Planet's show "Who Let the Dog Out?"

We've done modeling photo shoots.

And been on the news and TV countless times, mainly here in the USA, but also as far away as  in Japan, Denmark and England!

 We auditioned for David Letterman's Stupid Pet Tricks...

And for America's Got Talent (the current season, so I can't talk about it yet.)

It's been a wild, exciting adventure with this little dog!

Some of my favorite memories also involve being a therapy dog team.  We mainly visited a children's hospital on Fridays.  Because of HIPPA regulations, we weren't allowed to get pictures or video at the hospital, but Jasmine's picture hangs up in the hall there.  

But she also made a few appearances at schools, libraries, and nursing homes.  (And have some cute videos to remember those visits by!)

It seriously blows my mind to think about this.  One little dog ended up completely changing the course of my life!  (and for the better.)

This all started when I created a YouTube channel showing Jasmine's dog tricks.  I did it so I could show my Grandma (who lived in Utah) all the fun tricks my dog had learned.  But apparently a few other people liked her dog tricks too!  ;)

Because here's her most popular video that just hit one million views:

The best thing about owning a canine celebrity is that they never let it go to their head!  ;)  

Doggy Voicemail

I am Jasmine's chauffeur, treat giver, and trainer.  I think it's time she got her own voicemail, so I at least don't have to be her secretary anymore!!  ;)

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.

NEW TRICK- Dog does Laundry!

Jaz learned a new trick!  So I wanted to update her Canine Personal Assistant resume!  :D

Now this dog can do the laundry!  :D    Well, at least take the clothes out of the dryer.  She's not quite tall enough to do the wash yet!!  ;)

WHO IS JASMINE? BlogPaws Intro Video

Many of you know Jasmine's history, but some of you do not.   Since we're going to be speaking at a pet convention next month called BlogPaws, I thought it would be good to make an introduction video!


Here's a little background on us:





Jasmine is a 6 year old Havanese who LOVES to do tricks!  I've had her since she was a puppy.  She is clicker trained, using positive reinforcement.  She loves to learn, because she enjoys the mental stimulation and she LOVES good treats!!


We've had a lot of wonderful adventures together.  I had no idea when I got this sweet little pup where it would all lead.  But... one thing just keeps leading to another... and here we are.  :)  And now she's been on TV all over the world.  I don't even know where we'll end up next! LOL.

#WhoLetTheDogsOut Finale on #AnimalPlanet !! :D

It's getting close!!!  

Jasmine and all her friends are going to be on the finale of "Who Let The Dogs Out" on Animal Planet!!

(If it looks like Jaz is running with the shopping cart, that's because she is!!  The ground was a little slanted, so it made the cart roll really fast!)

I can't believe it's almost here!!  Sat. April 21st will be the finale!!  It was SO MUCH FUN performing live at Universal Studios!  After the show was done taping, and they were packing all the set, I still hung around Universal Studios with Jasmine.  It was just.... so.... cool.  We had such a GREAT experience!   We met some really wonderful people.  We saw and met some really awesome and talented dogs!!  It was kind of surreal!  I didn't want it to end!

Anderson Cooper

April is a big month for Jaz!  She gets to be on national TV twice this month!   Tomorrow, April 10th, she is also going to be on the Anderson Cooper show!!   They are going to make a video montage from some of these clips:  

I can't wait to watch both shows!!  FUN FUN FUN!!!  :D
