I made a larger hoodie pattern for etsy today. I made it awhile back after measuring a jack russell terrier (named Russell) that came to visit at work one day. Haven't had a chance to test it out much so if any of you out there want to give it a go....... Birdie is modelling the smaller size for me. I was surprised she was so cooperative. She wouldn't let me take an picture inside - and I think she was smart - it was perfect lighting outside by the daisies....

Sunday morning here in Port Moody with the cutest puppies in the world...

They are home - the look soooo tired!!!

Their call yesterday was 7:30 am so they were up early to get out to Langley. But they didn't start setting up for their shot until 7:00 pm. That is a long day for puppies who like to sleep in and go to bed early.
Apparently Minou was LOVING it. I'm not totally surprised. She loves attention and likes to show off. She did it all perfectly - going to her mark, putting her feet up on the bar, speaking on command. They did both have costumes on but apparently they kept switching them all around - Georgina wasn't sure if they ended up with clothes on or not. Birdie did good - just not as god, she was just along for the ride doing what the rest of them did.
There was even two chihuahuas brought up from L.A. by a trainer - Minou was doing just as good as them! I'm going to have to put her in more acting classes this summer - obviously.

They didn't get home until after 11:00 last night. They could barely keep their little eyes open. When I said let's go to bed they ran up the stairs without stopping and were sleeping before I got up there. This morning their little eyes still look really tired. Such cuties.

I have to be off to work now. I'm sure they will seep the day away. I'm so proud of them!!! Georgina has pictures - if she sends them to me I'll post what I can.

Boob update - it is green!!! Yeehaw!

Day 3 No puppies

Got a message from their trainer today - Georgina from Dogstars.

Apparently they are doing really well! I can't believe it. They were rehearsing on set today. They were going to their mark, sitting and even speaking on command!!!! I can't believe it. They have even made some little chihuahua friends!

I hope they don't forget us little people. I miss them but I am glad they are msking me proud. If they really like it I am going to have to get them to do things more often!

This week my homework is to make a pamphlet. So I am back to Birdie's monkey business as I don't have a lot of images of anything else. I'm starting to think I should be working on publicity kits for them instead!

Day 2
No puppies...

no one woke us up to go pee pee this morning. No little licks on my nose at 6:00am..
SOOOO quiet.....
how much longer until they come back????

i think this will be the final one unless steph edits it. have to hand it in tomorrow and am not feeling up to much else right now.
still feeling ill. i don't think it is an infection, just a flu. nice timing. anybody want to trade bodies? i am so over mine. it has been nothing but trouble. maybe it would get along with someone else better. i've tried to be good to it - it just doesn't like me.
until someone trades with me i'm curled up on the couch with the girls. birdie is dreaming next to me twitching and barking in her sleep. minou is curled up down by my feet. out of juice - anyone want to bring me some juice?

here is another version......

One week into classes and I just had to turn down my first graphic design (entry level) job (Thanks T-dawg). Poops!
It was to be in the art department on this movie.
I still might get a few days though - all is not lost.

In the meantime my homework this week was designing a business card for Birdie. I made the mistake of designing a logo for her last week and this week we had to take our logo and turn it into a business card. Needless to say this has all gone to Birdie's head and she is being very demanding. I had to make several versions before she picked one she liked. Even then it required much tweaking. After all that she still can't tell me what her business is - she called it Monkey Bytes. Sounds very high tech but all I can tell is that she chews on monkeys.



I have to go to the mall now - finish shopping before my artsclub photoshoot tomorrow. Don't really want to though....

We have a silly movie to watch... If you are offended by dry humping baboons then best to move to the next blog and pretend you never saw this entry.....

Birdie sang during our drive to Calgary. She loves this song so much she woke up to sing. Halfway through the song she went in the backseat and sang the rest with Auntie Penny. Mommy is a lousy DOP so we edited that part out. (That and Daddy said it was already really boring which I agree)
Calgary was stressful - my cousin madelaine kept attacking me. She would get time outs afterwards but it didn't matter she kept trying to kil me. I have scratches on my face because of her. She attacked Birdie once too. And she kept taking everyone else's Christmas presents. Mommy would always break us up and save me.
I got lots of presents..... Including a PINEAPPLE HOUSE!

it is great.... apparently I am supposed to share with Birdie. That is lame.
we got these

new t-shirts from santa. Birdie has a matching one...
We got a bunch of toys too but Mommy doesn't have any pictures of them.
Birdie played with Sparky a bunch.

I might have but I was way to scared of Ling Ling....
Ok. Mommy says we have to get up now and get dressed and stuff.... YAHHH HOLIDAYS!!! Even Daddy is home.
