Doggy Day Care at BarkWorld!

While I was attending classes at BarkWorld on Friday, Jasmine got to stay at Best Friends Pet Care! (with the other YouTube Rockstar Paige!)







When I first left her there, Jaz was being a baby, and trying to tell me "Don't leave me, I want to go with you!!" (This photo cracks me up!)







But I went inside and watched out the mirrored doors, and soon she was just fine. Once she realized I had left, she went right up to another person to get her snuggles!

They took good care of her! They emailed me this picture while I was in class! SO CUTE!!!!! Jaz looks like she's modeling, while all the other dogs are just... being dogs! :D (But I swear, this wasn't a posed pic!)


Paige liked to snuggle too! :D (I snuck out between classes to check on Jaz and snap a few pics of my own!)

Check out this BarkWorld ice sculpture! It was pretty cool! It was a fire hydrant, and a water bowl for the dogs!! :D Pretty sweet!

This was so nice that the doggy daycare was located right out on the terrace on the same floor of the hotel as our classes.

They were SO sweet to the dogs!

I loved watching these dogs play! This isn't a good picture of it, but there was a really cute Frenchie named "Bello"- who was Jasmine's friend. By the end of BarkWorld, we had met and become friends with all these dogs! (And their owners!)

Lauren had loaned us one of Paige's old kennels for Jasmine to use while we were there. But it's obvious from this picture that she still remembers it's hers!! LOL.

Of course Jaz was overjoyed to see me when it was finally time for me to pick her up. First choice was to be with me. If that's not possible, then the next best thing was to hang out with her new friends at Best Friends Pet Care.

Meet & Greet w/ the Judges!

Tonight was the Meet & Greet with the judges for the "Dog Days of Summer" contest!We all met up at the Oh My Dog Boutique. (Which was a really fun store!) WAY too many cute things in there!!
All the Top 5 finalist dogs were there... Bacci, the labradoodle. CocoaPuff, the pomeranian. Jasmine, the Havanese. And Molly, the all american dog. (mixed) and Dino, the mastiff (pictured below) ALL these dogs were SOOO CUTE! It's going to be really hard to pick a winner! Do you judge on looks? Personality? Talents? Who knows?! But no matter who they pick, they'll make the right choice. You can't go wrong with this bunch!! All the dogs were very friendly, and the owners were super cool. And it was so much fun talking, and meeting the other dogs... I think everyone had a good time. The judges were really really nice, so it didn't feel like there was any pressure. It was just a bunch of dog-lovers enjoying each others dogs!
I wanted to take CocoaPuff home!!! I JUST LOVE HER!!!! She's absolutely adorable!! This has to be the cutesiest little dog on the planet! (Yes, I just made that word up!) But she was!! She's like a living teddy bear!
Molly was my other favorite- a SUPER CUTE dog! With little pink bows in her ears. SOOO adorable!!
Dino was dog-gone tired! ;) This dog was HUGE!! But he was nice! The judges are going to make a decision over the next few days and announce it on their website! So I'll let you know!

I need to finish packing for the BarkWorld Expo! We leave tomorrow morning to fly out to Atlanta!! I'm SOO glad the meet & greet was tonight! And not tomorrow night!! LOL

Atlanta.... Here We Come!!

I am getting so excited about our trip to Atlanta for the BarkWorld Pet Expo! (Jasmine is less excited.... lol... but she'll be okay.) I think she'll do better this trip because she's going to be under the seat in front of me on the plane. When we went to NY for the Letterman audition, she was in cargo, and that was kind of traumatizing for her! Lauren & her superstar dog Paige will be there with us! We're both giving the presentation on "How To Make Your Dog A YouTube Rockstar"! :) This is one of those presentations that could also be titled "Things I Wish I Knew 3 Years Ago!" There's a lot of good info! There's a little bit of everything- clicker training, editing videos, SEO, marketing, and the background story of Paige and Jasmine, to list a few! It's all the things Lauren and I have learned through experience! We've got the powerpoint presentation all done- and emailed to BarkWorld. So it will be ready for us when we arrive.

I'm trying to make sure I don't forget anything!! Jaz groomed... check. Vet health certificate... check. Now I just need to pack, and buy a new memory card for my camera! (So we can take a ton of pictures of our awesome trip!) We leave on Thursday!!

Life is insanely busy of course! Remember how Jaz was a Top 5 finalist in that "Dog Days of Summer" contest? Well, the meet & greet with the judges in this Wednesday! (to pick the final winner!) I'm so glad it was on Wednesday, not Thursday!! Or we would be in Atlanta!! so- it's go-go-go for us!! :D (But it's fun stuff, so it's all good!) :D

Jaz's TV appearance in England!!

Who lives in the UK?? I know Jasmine has friends all around the world! But now I'm trying to track down a friend in England or Scotland who can do a favor for us!!

I have great news!! I got an email from an assistant producer at the BBC, and Jasmine is definitely going to be on TV over there! He said Jasmine DEFINITELY got picked to be in the show! (And maybe more than one episode!) He said that "Jasmine pushing the trolley cart was our favourite clip!" (A.K.A. Jasmine's "Dog Goes Shopping" video!) So that's really exciting news!

First Japan, and now England/Scotland! The show is called "Who Let The Dogs Out", and you can watch it on the BBC iPlayer.... but only IF you live in the UK! :/ I can't even watch it because it's not available to view from USA.

So... I'm trying to find a few friends across the pond who can help me!! Please let me know if you would be willing to watch this series, and tell me when Jasmine is on!! (Then I'm going to try to find a friend in the UK to can record it for me!)

I'm pretty sure it's going to be on a segment called "Tails from Around The World".

Here's segments from the show- (Just scroll down to the bottom- it's Either on Part 2 or 3!) http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/shows/who-let-the-dogs-out

If you want to watch the entire episode, you can here:

Please let me know if you can help me out!!! I would REALLY appreciate it!!! THANKS!! :)

You can post a comment here, or better yet- write me on Facebook so I can actually respond back!! :) https://www.facebook.com/MyFavoritePupJasmine

Cheezburger website!

LOL! I randomly found Jaz's shopping video featured on the Cheezburger's YouTube page! AND... they changed the music to CHEESEY 80's music!!! This video clip has had so many different soundtracks! Every TV station and website that shows this clip changes the audio! (Which is fine... I just find it amusing!)

It's weird because I randomly discovered that clip on YouTube, but when I was looking for her clip on their website... I found this! (See link below)

http://dogs.icanhascheezburger.com/2011/07/18/funny-dog-videos-goggie-goes-shopping/

For that clip, they kept the original audio AND gave me credit at the end.... WEIRD, huh?

Camping again!

I haven't been camping with Jasmine since she was a puppy! (At least 3 years ago!) And this month, we went twice! (Once with my family, and once with my friends.)

Jaz is a city dog... but she LOVES a good adventure!

She managed to stay fairly clean this camping trip! (Probably because we were in an official campsite!)
It only rained on us a little bit Friday night.

However- we didn't get any sleep! Because it was elk mating season. And the WHOLE night- every 45 minutes, you heard them calling back and forth!



We hiked down to the reservoir. Jaz didn't want to get in the cold water. But she liked hiking, and she liked resting down by the water!
Jaz found a good shady spot! :)





There were plenty of other dogs there that wanted to get in the water! (Even though it was really cold!) There was an Irish Setter who LOVED fetching his ball from the water. And when someone didn't throw it, he would just stare at it... trying to get it to move telekinetically! (It didn't work, but it was funny to watch!)

Meet the BarkWorld Ticket Winner!

Buddy, this is Pepper! Pepper, meet Buddy! :D

This is so cool. Remember when I posted about the free ticket I had to give-away to the BarkWorld Expo?


Well, we have a winner! :D

Cherise wrote me that she would love the ticket if no one else wanted it. Her dog Buddy is on Dogster, and she has a Dogster pal named Pepper that is going, and they would love to meet there for the first time!

How could I resist? I'm actually meeting my friend Lauren there for the first time too! :D (Even though we've been friends for years!) We're both giving the presentation on "How To Make Your Dog A YouTube Sensation"! So I'm really excited about that!

Pepper has been a fan of Jasmine's for about a year (ever since she saw the "Dog Goes Shopping" video on YouTube!) And Pepper had won a free ticket from Dogster! So how perfect is it that? They both won free tickets and get to meet up at the BarkWorld Expo!

If you want to come- it'll be here soon!! It's in Atlanta, GA from Sept. 29- Oct. 1st.



Oops! I made a mistake! That lab pictured above is named Molly! This is actually Buddy!
