Splash! wins Starpet 2008 in New York!

I will come back and post a video and more info. But Splash! and I had a blast in New York City!

Natural Dog Dog Fancy Flip Issue Splash and Emily

One of Splashs prizes for winning Canine Runway finally came about! She was to be on the cover of Dog Fancy, but I think cause she is not part of the American Kennel Club or for whatever reason, they decided to have her on the back cover. So I am very grateful for Splash and I being on the Flip Side of Dog Fancy- Natural Dog... but being a photographer myself, I cant believe they did the biggest error that even casual photographers avoid- making your subjects stare directly into the sun... I am so picky! I am a control freak! I actually sent them pics that I thought would be good for the cover (just of Splash of course!).

Splash! wins second level of Canine Runway

Splash! was one of 4 Finalists chosen yesterday to compete in the final Third Round of Canine Runway yesterday. I really couldnt believe my eyes when we were told we were to perform in front of a line of 8 aussies! (4 of them looked a lot like Splash!) so my hopes of getting through to the next round seemed suddenly dependent on her tricks. Luckily Splash! was happy to give it her best. The MC was one of the guys from Greatest American Dog, Michael with his dog Ezzie. Check out the youtube video.

Splash! wins Canine Runway in Las Vegas!

Splash! won Canine Runway- "The search for Americas most paw-pular pooch" in Las Vegas on Sept 9th. She was on the Las Vegas news the day before. And was supposed to be on the news again on the 10th but there was a mix up. Instead there was a segment on pet products, so Kiko ended up being on the news advertising a doggie car seat :)

The winnings: The cover of Dog Fancy, her face on Bamboo pet products, A years supply of Natural Balance, a year supply of NuHemp treats, 3 nights stay in Sedona Arizona at a dog friendly hotel, and a gift basket.

We drove up from San Diego on the 15.

Kiko and Splash! loved staying in the lush hotel!

Kiko got to see one of her favorite people in the world. Alex, a guy that works at South Bark Dog Wash.

Splash! enjoyed the car rides through the strip.

Abby and Splash play date at the beach

Splash taught Abby to swim! Now Abby can swim fearlessly like a true retriever! Abby taught Splash (not previously a fan) that tennis balls are pretty cool!

Abby is very photogenic!

Dirty dirty dog...

Splash! tests the waters

Splash! tries out dock diving at Wags for Wishes in San Diego. The first day she had a blast, but the second day she jumped off and landed on the ramp. This scared her and we couldnt motivate her to jump from the dock again, so we went to fiesta island and practiced there where she really got into it again. :) I believe she will be awesome at dock diving someday, as she loves to do crazy things. Kiko watched on with disgust. Sadly I have no video of her first jump. :(

Splash learned to say No!

Splash! learns to paint!

Today was Splashs first training lesson in painting. 4 days ago she painted the living room with blue ultramarine paint that she had taken from my studio. I took it as a sign she was needing a bit more creativity in her life... :) Check out the youtube video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwO9nJGnstg

Splash! the Puppy Picasso flaunts her talents on the news

Splash! was on the news a couple of times. She will be on Channel 6 tomorrow.

This is my all time favorite news broadcast! I love the story that they edited together, about a dog that paints, and an owner who paints dogs. I love that they included Kiko in the piece!

Here is another cool newscast, on Channel 8.

Splash and Emilys Dog Party B day party

Mickey the Mal watches over the Pupcake table to make sure no one takes one to many.

Kiko and Splash share a Pupcake before the guests arrive.

Bark Magazine Pupcake Recipe:

by Diane Porter

Whip up three dozen bite-sized carob mini-cupcakes in less than an hour with this original recipe.

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup honey

2 cups whole wheat flour

1/2 cup sugar-free applesauce

2 tablespoons canola oil

3 tablespoons carob powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup warm water

1 teaspoon vanilla

-----------------------------

There was no icing on the Bark Mag cupcakes so I made the icing from a mixture of low fat cream cheese, with a little bit of flour to thicken it. And put non-sweetened carob chips on top to decorate the cakes.
