To talk my pups into auditioning for this one, but they both said it looked like too much work. Hell, now they could be friggin' famous! OK, maybe just down here in Texas, but still . . .





And yeah, this is my electric company. They're better than most, but still way too expensive. Well, duh, for what they probably paid this dog?

HA !! pretty cute !!

Couldn't get them off the couch, huh?

HA! First you gotta get SAG/AFTRA cards for the pooches. Then they'll be begging for casting calls.

Looks like I may be shooting doggie spots to run on You Tube in the next several weeks. Daybreak is a youth shelter that's been in Dayton for over 30 years. They're opening a bakery to sell gourmet dog biscuits online and in meatspace. The kids that are served by the shelter will staff the back and the front of the house as part of a job skills training program, and natcherly, profits from sales goes right back into the shelter. Win-win! The main donor has a drop-dead gorgeous golden retriever that will be the spokes-pooch.

Yours Truly just got the creative end of launch in collaboration with a kick-ass printing and communications co. that I frequently partner with. Naming, branding, website, social media, guerrilla marketing, PR... this is gone be tail-waggin' fun!

So, Lea, if'n your heartthrobs wanna get in on the action, have their people call my people...

have their people call my people


Just let me towel the café mocha LOL spray off my screen . . .

Ahem. There. What an awesome project to be involved in. That's just beyond win-win. I'm curious, have you done any work with animules* before? I'd guess that unless pooch is a pro-trained pro, it could be, mmmm, interesting.


*Nod to fellow TriviaPeeps

Have I worked with critters? Hooboy, have I! Allow me to fire up the wayback machine...

Did a launch for a Scholastic k-12 lit series of which Charlotte's Web was the cornerstone title. Worked with a 200 lb white pig on a set complete with barn interior and magnificent monofilament web.

For Kryptonite Locks, used a white lab rat, and a doberman pincher for different campaigns.

For AT&T did a studio shoot with a momma duck and her ducklings.

And in just the last couple of years, worked with Shaq — an African Raven as a live branding element for my newly former client. This one has won a Silver Addy this year.

Oh, and I've done kids' fashion shoots with tween-age boys and girls — if you really wanna talk a/b wild animals!
