I'm Back...

So peeps, I know it's been awhile...a lot has happened since I or shall I say we blogged last.  I actually have a ghost writer who I work with.  She happens to be the reason for Izzy's hiatus.  I am guess by now the suspense is killing you...any guesses?  If you guess right I will give you a minty bone.  I know BOL (Bark Out Loud)!  So my ghost writer is my Aunt Kristy.  She is my Shaggy and I am her Scooby.  We go together perfectly and our blog is PURE GENIUS.  As always, Izzy is the brains in the operation.

Typically I would be irritated with her time off, but she was really sick and needed to have her belly fixed.  I couldn't leave my side kick solo, so I had to take some time off too.  Let me tell you people...nursing Aunt Kristy back to health was a lot harder than my job at TeaRose, but I did enjoy watching all our favorite TV shows and strutting around to all our favorite hotspots.

Right in the midst of all of this, my big-bunny sister Joey passed away.  I was so bummed out about this-even though I was the center of attention and getting all the treats.  Just when I got adjusted...my mom and my aunt decided to go shopping.  They accidentally turned my world upside down.  Genius one and Genius two went shopping in Monroeville one night.  They said, "We will be back Izzy, and we will bring you some treats from Petland."  Well I ended up with WAY MORE THAN THAT!

As I was watching my cartoons and waiting in my crate for them to get home, my doggie clock was ticking.  They were gone a lot longer than usual.  They were supposed to be shopping in that store with the moose buying a shirt and getting me some goodies at Petland.

Eureka! I hear the garage door go up and my mom comes bouncing up to get me and says, "We have a BIG surprise, Izzy.  We need to go outside for it."  Thank goodness for me I have a nice fur coat to keep me warm because it was cold.  In my mind I was thinking, "It must be the biggest rawhide Chewee ever.  It's so huge that they couldn't bring it up the steps."

I get down to the garage to find this small white ball of fluff that resembled me but wasn't quite as good looking.  I thought to myself, "This is a lot like a movie I watch called The Gremlins.  (Did mom drip some water on me and get me wet?  I have suddenly multiplied.)  After seven years of being the only dog,  I know find out that I have a sister, Rosy. (Why did she get to be named after TEAROSE?)  Really?

Fast forward to the future...

I was starting to think that this one needed to be returned to the pet store because she was broken.  She couldn't potty outside, she chewed the couch, and she guards her water bowl.  Rosy is one now and we finally have gotten used to each other.  Sure, I have a little less hair on my tail, and a night at home is much like Animal Planet...she stalks me like her prey and then we wrestle around.  She finally has almost learned to pee outside every time...(my mom has stalk in Nature's Miracle carpet cleaner).

Since Rosy was named after the place that I put all my blood, sweat, and tears in...I decided she needed to take on some responsibilities.  Which brings me to now.  Since my sister has picked up the slack...my aunt and I have more time to blog at TeaRose.  Stay tuned to hear of our adventures at the best photo studio!

It's my 6th Birthday!

Hi my peeps, I wanted to share a bit about the BEST DAY EVER!!!  Today was my birthday and my mom was off school.  You got it, I talked her into doing everything I wanted to do today.  We went to the P-A-R-K, we wend for a R-I-D-E, I got toys, ate chicken and even had cake!  I had to spell those words because that is what my mom, dad, and my aunt do.  They think I can't spell.  I have noticed instead of saying W-A-L-K lately they use synonyms.  Duh? My mom teaches school, seriously like I don't know what a synonym is!   To my fans...I only hope your birthday are as awesome as mine!  Here is a little story about my day.

First my grandpap took me for a ride in the buggy.

Then he took my to get ice cream (in the buggy)

My mom wanted an excuse to eat cake, so we had some!

 

My grandpap stocked the buggy with minty bones, thanks a lot for the ones in the glove compartment...

When I had Abby for the day, they made me a birthday plate at the Pottery Playhouse!

My Aunt joined the celebration!

 

I ate some cake!

Me and My mom on my greatest birthday ever.


 

Class of 2013!

Hi Friends! My mom and aunt just returned from WPPI-U!  Yes, that means that I stayed with my aunt for three whole days.  I get whatever I want...whenever I want!  I tell my Aunt Kristy what to do all the time and she just listens!  We went to my store, went to my park, and rode in my Aunt Leann's car! 

Lucky for Taylor today, she got some crazy new ideas from my employees.  My mom explained to me that she was close to NYC (yah, the BIG APPLE) with some really cool photographers...NINE to be exact.  They work everywhere around the USA~She and Aunt Renee studied with them for 2 whole days.  What a cool opportunity.  I wish that I could have presented there.  All those photographers could all learn something from me, the Eskie. 

So, although my mom and aunt were having a blast with Taylor, I just needed to help, so I jumped into the shoot.  What cool images.  Taylor wore the coolest shoes.  I wonder Ta, do you think that they make those boots in my size?  Do they come in a set of four?  I really thought that her hair was pretty, wonder if we use the same products? 

Class of 2013...it's your time!  Mention Izzy's Blog and recieve a FREE 8x10 with your senior session.  Here's the deal.  My birthday is in August...I scratch your back and you scratch mine. ( I expect cards!)

Mom, get a little light on me!

Taylor got a little shower during this part of the photo shoot!

You are sooooooooo pretty Taylor.  I LOVE this pic.

Recap Izzy Style

Hi my Peeps, I know you haven't heard from me lately.  There is really no excuse for my lack of writing.  I have had so much happen at work since I last blogged.  I decided that I need to share my feelings (my mom says maybe I won't bark so much that way.)  Some Cool Things that have happened in the past 6 months:

November: The TeaRose Stop and Shop!
Well, my opinion of this was a bit of irritation.  (Sigh) I tell my staff...all I want is a pet vendor!  Do you think it happened?  NO! A big negative from my pals at Clara's Collars...I guess I will have to stop in at the 4th of July.  I saved my earnings from all the cleaning and took myself straight to PetSmart after this event. 

The Stop and Shop was a huge success.  Lots of giveaways from all our vendor.  Contact us if you are interested in being a vendor or reserving your spot as a guest.  Scheduled for NOVEMBER 4, 2012

December:
Dear Santa,
I have been a VERY good girl this year.  Please stop by my studio and pick up my letters.  I used an old minty bone container to scent them for you.  I have written one each day for the the whole month.  Oh yah, you can take these ones from these kids too.
Love, Izzy

My mom and my aunts jumped into my photo op with Santa.  Can you see the irritation on my Eskie face!  Seriously?????? This was my MOMENT!

January & February: I'm an Eskimo dog and there is very little snow! What's a girl to do?  I was counting on it, and it didn't come.  What did come during these months? I know you are wondering.  Babies...babies...kids...and weddings.  I had to assist in more sessions this month than ever.  Kids, why do you need me to smile?

March: Here Comes Peter Cotton Tail
I helped us to have a Hippity Hoppity time.  Let me tell you, that bunny has nothing on me! Did you see her tail?  My tail curves and is way cuter.  Miles, yours was too.  Next year, I suggest we just forget the bunny and have the children sit on my lap!

Check out my pink necklace people!  I love it!

April: Cuteness, Glamour, and my new bath supplies
First, my buddy Miles came in.  He brought his friend Petey.  I was a little peeved because I thought I was Miles' only bud.  Petey kinda resembles the little dog that is on my food.  Yes, that is right after that...all I could think about was lunch!

That brings us to Glamour...My favorite Miss Pittsburgh (Stephanie) hosted quite the party.  I was a bit upset that I was not invited to the Release Party for Gladys Magazine.  I got to stay with the coolest babysitter in the world.  My mom and dad let me in on the photo shoot before they left.  Check out a few pics from the big event.

May: The Studio was hopping!  Kicking off the Class of 2013 with Jimmy.   We had quite a variety of events...weddings. birthday parties. my aunt kristy's birthday. cinco de mayo. mother's day mini sessions.  It is all a bit overwhelming for a dog to handle.  It does mean LOTS of overtime for me!

Which brings us to now.  Thank you very much Blue Angels....you have successfully ruined my peaceful atmosphere.  I can't pee, sleep, or anything without thinking of giant planes with awful sounds.  I AM RUINED! My aunt is ready to go and buy me a Thunder Jacket.  I just do not think it will go with my white coat.  They only make them in boring black.  I hate planes these days.  I worry everytime I hear one taking off.  Spirit is it really necessary to fly so often? I do not get to go to Myrtle, Orlando, or Atlantic City.

Check out my video of the Show.

 Talk to you later my friends!
XOXOXOX,
IZZY

I Ruv Fall!

Hi My Peeps,

It seems like ages since I have been on to tell you my side of the story at my studio!  You see, my mom went back to school.  I get a little sad when that happens...I have to tell her good bye in the morning after our walk around the block and I have to share her with the pint sized students!  I prefer to have her to myself, making me doggie breakfast and lounging with me at the house.  I promise I'm back on track now that I'm a bit adjusted again!  Things at my studio have been great (sorry mom, the girls can do it without you all day long!)  Aunt Kristy has been trying to keep my busy-she's been driving me to PetSmart...and yes she believes I am a small child.  I highly recommend the flick- Spooky Buddies!  It really got me into the Halloween Spirit! 

This is my costume a few years ago!  Am I not the cutest?  Who wouldn't want to be stung by the Izzy Bug?

This is the Izzy inspired pumpkin that my mom and Abby (my BFF) made me last year!  I love looking at the ears!

This is me on Halloween last year. I will allow kids and fur-kids into my studio for Halloween!  I don't mind taking photos for the holiday season.

I am sooooooooo excited for the Halloween Spook-tacular!  I wonder if I am getting a monster manicure from Aunt Melissa?  I am imagining a purple feather in with my white beautiful hair.  I have my costume all ready...shhhhhhhhh, I'm not telling what I am yet, but in a few days, I'll post a few Halloween pics for all of you to see.  Here's a clue-they are BIG, STINKY, and they YAWN a lot...no dad, I'm not you this Halloween.  Check out my aunt Renee's latest composite.

I helped my mom and my aunt (and dad) decorate the studio for fall!  It looks so awesome and smells like cinnamon pumpkins.  I can't wait for you all to see it!  I also learned that my gramma went shopping today.  She bought cool ribbon and special glue to put the finishing touches on the fridge magnets that we are giving away! 

See you all Soon!

Squeaky Clean

Rub a dub dub...I'm in the tub.  My mom said if I wanted to go to work this week, I had to get a bath!  My thoughts about that were, I want to work this week.  I know my buddy Miles is coming for his smash cake debut for his first birthday!  I can't wait to see what hat his mom brings this time.  I also know that there are lots of other photos-I just don't want to miss out!  I have lots of previews too!  I love to hear the newly weds as they look at the photos for the first time.  It's so much fun remembering their special day with them.

Really, I think that I need some privacy!

Let's Go Cats!

First...I was bringing it!  I mean bringing it on, as in cheering with Abby and Maddie!  I had so much fun playing with Sydney's shoes and Maddie's pom poms.  In my head I just wondered if there was a spot on the team for me...I could really see myself flying through the air saying "Go Cats!"  My tail would look so cute with the orange and black paw prints.  I have my shoes all figured out, I have four all white ones.  I just need the hair bow, girls I already have a paw print bandanna.  Check out my pics with my new friend Maddie and my best friend Abby.

Here is my favorite pics from the day!
