I'm Dreaming of Fan Mail

Ahhhh, with my rapidly approaching birthday, I'm anxiously awaiting more fan mail to be sent to TeaRose...My birthday is less than one week away.  Reminder, I am going to be whole hand.  My day started out a little stormy today.  My mom turned on a big fan to try and disguise the sound of the thunder-IT DIDN'T WORK.  I felt as though I was being attacked and paced my mom's bedroom.  I was guarding her!  Then before I knew it she was up and in the shower.  I was a little ticked, but then I remembered that she is back to school.  That means I need to start getting up early again ( I like to share breakfast with her).  I'm not really very happy about this new change in my regular schedule.  I went back to bed...my aunt came in and asked me if I was ready to Go?  I put my head back down.  I thought to myself, "The storm has stopped...can't a dog get any rest around here?"  She proceeded to pick me up and put me in the car.  Again, I thought, "More Work?"

I was greeted by 2 seniors today.  I really wasn't much up to working, so I let my employees do the work with Lauren.  She was a serious shopper with cool shoes.  It's a shame I was so tired, we really would have gotten along.  I think her favorite store was Juicy...hmmmmm I like that as long as it refers to a steak. She gave me a great idea for my next centerfold.  Just picture it...Izzy on the green fancy couch, surrounded by PetSmart bags.  I would add a small toy Loofa in my mouth just for effect. 

Next I met Leigha.  I tried to be pleasant, but the good Izzy just wasn't coming out today.  I yelled and yelled at my mom for leaving me all day!  I did get to help with one shot and play my game.  I took Leigha's shoe and waited for someone to come and find me.  I knew they would, and yes in case you were wondering, I did get a treat!

Aunt Kristy, did you want MY attention?  I'm kinda busy right now.  Leigha looked so pretty.  I was trying to talk her into getting into the swing....it really did work later.  I loved all her different outfit choices...

Well my peeps, I'm headed home.  I'm very sleepy, and can't wait to curl up on my mom's pillow. 

Good Night all.

What's Shaking? (Aunt Renee says TeaRose)

Today was interesting.  It all started out smooth and serene, then I got all shook up!  I started out taking photos of a pair of brothers.  I learned how to have manners and be polite from them.  They cleaned up the studio so nicely after they were finished getting their photos, boy did that make me happy.  I rewarded them with a dilly bar (well actually my aunt did, and was a bit upset that I didn't get ice-cream too)

While my mom and my aunt were outside, my aunt Renee and I were in our office.  Actually Aunt Renee, it's my office, but since you are faster on the computer, I share!  She looked at me and asked, "Izzy, did you feel that?  The walls shook.  Should we run?"  I very calmly looked up at her and suggested that she join me under the desk.  I said, "Don't worry Aunt Renee, my mom is a teacher and I know what to do.  I also watch Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice, I know how to handle emergency situations!"  Aunt Renee ignored my advice and called Aunt Kristy in.  She asked if something hit TeaRose....there were several things wrong with the scenario!  First, she ASKED aunt Kristy.  She never has a clue! Second, if something hit TeaRose, there would be a hole somewhere.  I didn't sense a hole!  Anyway, we learned that there was an earthquake!  I googled it and learned that we got the aftershock in Western PA!  WOW!  That was my first earthquake, and hopefully my last.


After the shaking of the earth, I met a new friend.  I'm sorry that I was a bit grouchy Allison.  I needed my nap (it was INTERRUPTED by the quake).  Anyway, she was the S-W-E-E-T-E-S-T girl ever!  I was just so ornery.  Check out our pics! 


TRY #1
This is me NOT Listening to my mom.  Talk to the TAIL mom cause the ears aren't working!

TRY #2 Okay, I'm facing the camera...but I'm snacking on my treats!  Still not Looking!

TRY# 3...I GIVE in, but I'm still chewing.

This is my friend's real picture, you know when I wasn't pestering her!

I'm off to dream of minty bones shaking in their container.  If they shake enough, will they fall out of the container into my mouth? Let's Hope.

PS...Only 7 Days till the Izzy Birthday Celebration...keep the fan mail a comin'

My Ritas, My Store, My Park

Listen my peeps, every once in a while a day happens where everything is perfect!  That was my today.  First I got to have some Rita's Ice.  Mmmmmmm loved it!  It was Bubblicious.  Since my mom doesn't let me chew gum this was a big treat.

Then I got to go shopping for my upcoming birthday.  I picked out some really cool toys, but I didn't get to see what we bought.  Can't wait to open my presents, but my birthday isn't until next Wednesday...that's right everyone, write it on your calendar.  I do like to get cards you know.  I open them and run around with them!  Fan mail wouldn't hurt either.  You can address it to my work address- TeaRose Photography Below you can see me in the aisle at PetSmart.  I was browsing, checking out the doggie beds.  I don't understand why they sell those...I certainly don't sleep in a 'dog bed' I much prefer the human bed.

Finally, we went to my park (Twin lakes) and I got to walk around both lakes!  I checked out all the dogs there, drank out of each fountain, and ran into my friend Mia!  She smiled for a photo with me!  I love her sense of humor.  She was riding a cool bike there, I wish that I could learn to ride a bike.  I could pedal with my front paws...but my balance isn't so good  and I'm not sure that they make helmets with ear holes.

My Ritas, My Store, and My Park...I'm in Doggie Heaven.  Back to work tomorrow.  Good Night my Peeps, can't wait to tell of my adventures tomorrow.

PS. I'm not kidding about the fan mail!

Everywhere I look, I see SENIORS!!!

But listen my peeps, I LOVE IT!  Seniors are my favs because they let me in.  Almost all of them let me in on the actions.  I love checkin out the props, the poses, and most of all the outfits! Yesterday and today...only seniors!  We started with Rebecca.  She told me I was Beee-u-tiful!  I looked just like Morgan...you know, I might want to meet Morgan someday.  I'm kinda sad that I didn't get a photo op with Becca, but I did get lots of attention from her and her mom and sister.  Her photos are very pretty!  I loved Becca's blue eyes, I'm wishin my eyes were blue too!

Then I met Travis...he had the coolest guitar!  Loved the Yin Yang.  My paws could've showed him a thing or two about the guitar.  I was thinking...a little Jagger, a little Hendrix, Clapton, or a little Elvis?  I watched my mom, dad. Aunt Kristy, and Aunt Val play guitar hero, so I have confidence that I could do it!

Today...Jake, if only I could play that many instruments! 

Let me tell you about this photo....Aunt Kristy, what were you thinking?  Why would you snap a photo when I had a bone in my mouth?  I look ridiculous!  This is me and my first senior of the day!  My mom taught his little sister when she was in fourth grade...she knew me as a wee pup...just arriving at my mom's pad.  Just learning how to use the potty outside, etc etc.  So you see, this is even more embarassing to have my mouth full in this photo-you know because she has known me since I was a mere 4 pounds.

 I wish that I could fit my paws in pumps like Kelsey today!  These photos are me and my friend Kelsey.  She was kind enough to allow me in two photos.  Actually I just kept placing myself in them, and she smiled at me so sweetly, I just want to lick her face.  In the top photo, Aunt Kristy, seriously?  First I'm eating, then my butt?  If only I had knows, I would have washed behind my tail.  It was all good until Aunt Kristy told me these photos weren't about me...do you see my irritated look as I left the backdrop?  What?  Look at her face...SHE WANTED ME in her pics!  No yearbook is complete without my ears!

Wow, I kinda surprised Emily in this photo!  Going somewhere?  Everytime my mom gets suitcases out, I end up at Grandmas for a visit!  My paws are staying on these suitcases, that is for sure.  Em, maybe you will take me with you since my whole family left me at home last week while they were on vacation!  By the way, I loved the earrings.  I wonder how those big tear drops would look in my ears.  What do you think?

Well good night my peeps.  I'm going to get some rest...I'm dreaming of new poses.

Happy Birthday to You...

Today was an adventure at TeaRose.  I listened to a preview with a senior friend and two photo shoots with little kids.  I really didn't need to make them smile and from all the noise, I decided to just stay under my Aunt Renee's desk.  Their photos were so great, but some are surprises, so I don't want to spoil the surprise by posting the photos on my blog.  Then there was my best friend's Super Star Party!  Yes, it was the day I had been waiting for for a long time.




This is my and my best buddy in the whole world.  She looks so pretty don't you think?


I was so excited as I watched the studio transform into every little girl's dream place.  You see during parties, the lights go down, the music goes up, and the children get fancy.  They all get their hair done however they want it done, and then they get make up.  By the time they are ready, the girls look so fabulous.  I usually stay in my work room because I get nervous around lots of people like that.  Through the door, I heard squeals of excitement as the girls posed for glamour shots.  They always have pizza (tonight I got to share some) and cake...YUM!  There were no minty bones at this party, but I kept reminding myself that it wasn't MY party. 

All the girls get to take home their own photo souvenir.  Let me tell you, some of the outfits that the girls put together would give Giorgio Armani ideas!  Check them out!

This is me and my wand.  I was waving it to make sure that Abby had the best party ever.  I just know it worked!



This is me and my sunglasses.  I wanted to be just like the girls.  I couldn't get them to fit right, but I looked good anyway.  The color orange really works with my eyes, don't you think?

I'm sure that Ab had a great birthday, and I was glad that my studio was a part of making her so happy.  Thanks to Ab with and E...I didn't have to work so hard because she helped set up and clean up.  I was home before 11 thanks to her help!  Good Nite my peeps.  I don't mind if you look at my photos again.  I won't tell anyone!

This is me hard at work

It's exhausting coming home from work and blogging, but someone has to do it!  Here is me hard at work.
 I had to ask my mom three times to take my photo.  I have the phone next to me in case I get a call from my agent or Steven Spielberg for my movie op...

The Hardest Working Eskie Around...

Hi, I'm Izzy and thanks for visiting my blog.  This is MY space to tell the real story behind the scenes at TeaRose.  I see everything that happens here from the floor.  Sometimes the girls think I'm asleep, but really I am dreaming of new marketing strategies or new poses!  On the outside, everyone thinks my life only consists of sleeping on my mom's head, minty bones, and ice cream...but there is more to me than that!  If only they let me run this place, we would be so big that Caesar Milan would have to listen to me during his publicity shots! 

Currently, my duties at the studio are multi-faceted.  I am responsible for checking on the UPS guy.  I need to be sure that he puts the packages in the correct spot and doesn't spill my water.  I also get dragged into photo shoots to make children smile!  That part of my job can be the most demanding.  Often I get sticky slimey goo in my pretty hair, and one time I was sneezed on!  The little ones pull at my hair when they think they are petting me.  Another exhausting part of my job is announcing when it is time to eat.  Every Tuesday night Aunt Renee cooks...and I love her different pasta and chicken recipes!  She knows to avoid chocolate and onions in every dish she makes.  I stand in the kitchen and sniff the air waiting for my food, and I bark if they don't listen. 

The funny part about my mom having this studio is sometimes I think that I live at TeaRose.  There are days when I get up and just get comfy in my front window at home and then I have to go to work.  By the time I get home it's dark and I can't see out the window anymore.  That makes me mad because I like to bark at all my friends when they walk around the block without me.
