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!

Rain, Rain Go Away...

Rain, rain go away...go away so that Izzy can play.  I was singing that in my head all day long.  We were supposed to have senior photos today, but the rain scared them away.  I really don't blame them, I don't like the way my hair looks in the rain.  My tail gets a bit too curly and it looks like I have an 80s perm.  I certainly don't like to sit in the grass either. 

Even though it was rain, it didn't scare my lil buddy away.  He was just about the cutest thing I have ever seen.  Although I was a little green when my Aunt Kristy was fawning a little too much calling him "the cutest little baby."  I THOUGHT I WAS THE CUTEST LITTLE BABY!  Did you forget, Aunt Kristy.  I thought... just wait until it's just you and me...that's when Izzy will strike.  In three weeks, my mommy heads back to school, at that point, you're MINE.  I will steal every 90210 DVD you own, eat every goldfish cracker in the house, and record over your favorite Reba on DVR.  Yes that's right the Halloween one...you know that one when Barbara Jean freaks out about watching all the CSI.  It's a goner!

Back to the baby.  He was cute although for his little bum photos he pooped on the blankie!  Seriously?  I was potty trained way younger than 2 weeks.  White Lace and Clyde (my doggie parents) taught me manners.  I told my mom, fire me if you want, but Izzy doesn't DO baby poop.  There are not enough minty bones in the USA to get me to clean that up.  Here are some of my favorites from the photo shoot!

Well my peeps, it is off to dream of pieces of chicken tonight.  I'm going through minty bone withdrawal.  My gramma decided that she is rationing them.  What's that about?  Just get more!  Good Night All.

Making my Clients Smile-That's my J-O-B!

Hi All, I know you are anxiously awaiting our summer stop inside scoop...the truth is, I'm just not quite ready to talk about it.  I'm still so sad that I can't bring myself to post about it yet.  Soon, my friends, soon.  I'll talk happiness right now.  What an awesome day I had today.  I was a little tired and I was enjoying my window, but I didn't mind heading to work-after all...I had yesterday off.

Today I had a very important job.  I helped one little girl brush her hair.  She didn't want her mom to make it look shiny.  So I stepped in.  I told her that I really don't like when my mom brushes my hair either, but how do you think I look sooooooooo good.  It does take work.  I was going to teach her how to make a really scary face (like you're going to bite your mom) when you get your hair brushed, but then I thought to myself..WAIT!  It doesn't work.  My mom just keeps brushing...so instead I just helped talk her into brushing her hair so that she could look like me.

They were really cute girls.  They fed me treats and chased me around the studio.  I picked up a giant baseball beanie and carried it around.  I thought to myself  (My mom went to the game last night and didn't take me, so I will just catch my own fly ball!)  I also said, "Look out Derrek Lee, I don't need to hit two homers, I just carry the ball and make people cheer!"

Also today I met another senior.  The Class of 2012 LOVES ME!  They let me into their photo shoots right and left.  Thanks for giving me my photo op today C!  I was really impressed with my TeaRose peeps.  They were super creative with the props that C brought!  Even my aunt Renee got in on the action...she had so much fun "making a SEA of shirts."  Aunt Renee this photo is almost as good as that chicken dish you made me for dinner tonight.  I love Tuesdays cause I get to see what is on the Aunt Renee Grill!

Hi C, Hi C, Hi C! Not the drink people!

Wow Aunt Renee, C is swimming in the Sea of Shirts.

Well my peeps, I'm heading home to try to edit the pics from the Summer Stop for all you guessers.  I hope to post them soon.  Night all.  Think of me in my bed dreaming of a sea of minty bones.

My day at the DUMP

When I say dump, I know what you're thinking...that's not what I mean peeps.  You'll find out later why my day included the dump...and no, I wasn't looking for my missing raw hide.  These last two days have been busy for me, but the good news is...I have almost left on time two days in a row.  I met lots of new friends.  My friend came in for some pictures...she deserves a modeling job.  She knows just what to do for the camera!  I know that if I keep my ears up, she will find something.  She is so sweet and nice and she talks a lot to me!  I really like her..she makes me smile.  I also met her little brother.  He really like Jioios and was headed there...but he forgot to take me for some pizza pie! 

Then I met Gra and her family!  She was as adorable as Izzy.  She loved her great-grand baby so much that I had to remind her to look at the camera for a few.  That's okay, that is my job as a photographer dog...that's why I get paid the big minty bones after all.  Don't these photos just make you smile?

Then there was my trip to the dump.  My mom had a vision with a 6 ft ladder.  The final photo will be cropped in for effect, but for today I just wanted to showcase the dump!  In here are the most smelly things I can think of...most dogs would devour this, however me being a civilized (somewhat spoiled) dog would not find myself eating from the dump.  I much prefer lettuce, broccoli, and carrots.  Even in my appearance on Fear Factor, I didn't make it thought the dumpster challenge.  We really enjoyed Ryan...he was funny and made us laughed a lot!  You looked really cool with your tie by the way.

Today I spent a lot of time in with Aunt Renee.  You see the lil man turning three did some yelling, and that scared me!  I hid under the desk.  He was beating a toy drum...rat tat tat...over and over again in my ears.  I would close my eyes and then I would hear it AGAIN.  The girls decided to put blocks in a barrel...any idea how loud that is in a doggie's ears?  We dogs do have acute hearing you know...I could have heard that ruckus a mile away, let alone a few feet away.  Good thing he is so darn cute.

I got to come home on time and have homemade pizza with my best friend.  I also got to play rummy with my friend!  Tomorrow I'm the big dog at work.  It will be exhausting playing boss since my mom and my dad are going on a date!  Look out Aunt Kristy and Aunt Renee...we will be working by Izzy's rules.  I can be bribed with minty bones and chicken-but LOTS OF IT!  (Mom I have heard the saying 'while the cat is away the mice will play')  Me and my aunts are out of that place at two...you know to head straight to PetSmart and buy me a toy with my overtime pay.  Good night peeps...until tomorrow...TGIS...(Thank Goodness it's Saturday!)



Back to Work

What's up with all of you blog readers? No one is participating in my poll?  Don't you have a guess as to what my favorite treat is, or don't you care???

Can you say no to this face?  Please vote in my poll!!

My TeaRose employees took some great photos today.  I really wasn't allowed to be involved because mom thought I would distract the kids.  I'm usually only allowed out with the big kids....unless they can't get someone to smile, then they call in the big dog!!  Anyway, I was in with Aunt Renee listening to the photo shoot.  I could hear the giggles of the baby as she had her photo taken.  I know that her smiles are so natural because she was so happy!  I loved this cool picture with the blocks. 

Isn't she so cute with her blocks?  I just want to lick that little face.

Thanks for not letting me down Aunt Renee.  Before I knew it, the smell of chicken entered my lil' sniffer.  I started sniffin the air to see what else I could smell.  Yum, I detected that there was pasta to go along with my chicken!  I was delighted because I am part Italian.  I devoured my chicken and barked for more and then, with a full belly I did what dogs do best-took a nap.

I was awoken to the sound of a familiar name.  My ears perked when I heard the mention of a famous dog detective-That's right, Scooby Doo.  Our little guy was a huge Scooby fan.  I told him all about my Scooby Snacks and how I love the pizza bites and the Zoink bones!  Just the thought of the Doo made my mouth water for my snacks...oh how I wish that I was already home to eat a few of those.  (You see I hide them in my crate because I am not always in the mood for those).  I heard the buggy go whizzing by and I knew that Brayden must be driving!  You lucky Dog!  I wished that I got to go along on the buggy.  I knew that he would want to drive and I just had a feeling that I wouldn't be able to share, so I stayed inside.  My mom told me that I can drive the buggy any day, I needed to give my new friend Brayden a turn.  I guess I kinda agree-I hate when my mom is right! Braden and his family had an awesome outside photo! 





This is such a great photo.  Good job girls.

Well my peeps, it is much to late for this little doggy to be typing.  I'm off to dream of eating a minty bone cake...I wonder if Cinnabun could make that for my birthday!?
