Chandler Says; "Happy Gato De Mayo"

Have one for Chandler Bing...gosh I can't help but wish he was this small again :(

Stars on the Street not in the Skies

click on the names if you don't know who they are, it will explain...


I just wanted to make a list since of people I have run into during my dog walking days from the past 2 weeks.

--Jerry O'Connell (Actor, Stand by Me) on the 1 train, he left at 18th St
--Zac Posen (Clothing Designer) 2 times, he has a toy poodle who tried to jump at Legs :( 69th St and Columbus then 70th St and Broadway ( he must live in my neighborhood)
--Romany Malco (Actor, Weeds, 40 Year Old Virgin) heading to the upstairs of the Lower East Side Whole Foods Market
--Lauren Graham(Actress, Gilmore Girls, Bad Santa) she was headed to SoHo near Allen St. I was with Napoleon and he tried to jump up to greet her, though he was denied :(
--Liev Schreiberr and Son (Actor, Scream, Wolverine) in SoHo at Houston St., now this is a weird one as 5 minutes before running into him, I though I saw him but was of course wrong, until I did see him with his yound son in tow on his shoulders (very adorable)
--John Noble(Actor, Fringe) He was on the Elevator today with me on the Lower East Side, for those of you who don't watch Fringe its a must, I highly recommend this show!

So that is an eclectic list! Now that I'm on a role with this blog thing I'll add interesting stories with these names but I just got too backed up to write anything cool at the moment.

On a completely dog related note the above pick is of Bentley (Boston Terrier) he is a client of mine and he did star in the Club Monaco adds this past holiday season. The picture is one I took of a store window in SoHo (<--that means...South of Houston) he is my own personal celebrity ;)

"The Real Dogwives of New York City"


Napoleon told me a secret the other day, he was a little ashamed at first but he has a passion that can't denied. That passions name is "Ginger". She is the cute/little/spunky dog of Jill Zarin of the bravo hit "The Real Housewives of New York City". He has been watching the show secretly for months while mommy is out of the room just to get a glimpse of this Hot little Chihuahua Ginger on T.V. I told Naps that his secret was safe with me and that if he wanted to I could take him by for a visit to Zarin Fabrics which was only a few blocks from where he lives on the Lower East Side. He had no idea that they were that close (hes a dog and really doesn't know what street names mean) and was so excited he almost peed his pants (well he would have if he had any pants) but he waited till we were safely outside (to pee that is). We strolled down to the store on Allen St and we walked by the front door a couple of times, but Napoleon chickened out, he just wasn't ready to meet the Chihuahua of his dreams. Maybe he will be next time and we'll walk through the doors and it will be like an old "Doggywood" movie, as they run to each other and sniff behinds. :) Alas until next time Naps...It'll be just you and your monkey.

(RIP Phoebe)


On a sort of dog walking note...Let me take you back first to a couple years ago. I used to walk a couple of dogs (Dolce' the black Pomeranian and Phoebe the dachshund) in a certain celeb filled building in the West Village. I noticed that Anne Hathaway was a
resident of that building but never had a reason to say hi, until one day... It was 2 days before "Broke Back Mountain" came out and I
had just seen a behind the scenes special on VH1. We just happened to be riding the elevator together and I basically couldn't help myself and I said "I'm so excited about your movie coming out!" and she said "I know me too" so yadah yadah yadah we had a moment. She then told me her apartment number and asked if I wanted to leave a message about what I thought of the movie at her door. It was just a crazy New York story that I often think about. I've never run into her since but I always wonder if she would remember our exchange on the elevator?

This past Saturday My boyfriend and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary at the "Union Square Cafe". I had never been there before and I definitely hope to go there again. We were seated at a great table upstairs with about 5 other tables on the floor. I happened to notice that Anne was seated two tables over with her mother, father and brother. Here's my chance I thought! But I quickly realized that would just put me in stalker territory so instead I thought I should at least get a picture for my Blog "wink wink" . ( and the lady at the table next to us asked for an autograph and annoyed her family, so my opportunity was shot) Sadly my camera phone has been on the fritz lately :( so I told my boyfriend to take the picture on his phone as he had one and a better view. (mind you he thinks I should always take pictures of the celebrities I see, even though I tell him how hard it is to do without looking like a crazy celeb stalker) Below is his best attempt at the task...and now he knows how hard it is to do what I try to do all the time but mostly am unable. :)


I missed my chance to reminisce with Anne but someday we will and I'll have another great New York or perhaps Los Angeles story to tell. ( And yes that is her AssK me no more questions and tell me no more lies)P.s. my boy Chandler was finally neutered on Sunday and he took it like a Man/Cat even though he is still a kitten :) We went to the Humane Society and it was only $45.00 and they do a great job so spread the word if you know anyone with a Kitten or a Puppy in the city.

6 degrees of Kevin Bacon...stop following me :)

First of all I would like to apologize for this blog taking 2 weeks to come back to life, i had a cold and my brain was not functioning to its full creative potential. All better now and ready to be clever (ps it wasn't the swine flu more like a cow cold) Anywaz back to the point of this here blog...

It all started about a year ago, My bestie (you remember this term from a couple of blogs back) was visiting and she was training for a marathon, so in support of something i personally could never do i told my bestie that I'd jog in central park with her. While out on this jog we were coming around a corner when all of a sudden out of no where Kevin Bacon (Footloose, Bacon Brothers, Picture Perfect a personal fav of mine) jumped right out in front of us. He scared the besjesus out of us and then continued on his way across the park. I mean what kind of world is it when you can be attacked in central park by a Kevin Bacon like that with out any warning? I mean REALLY? (thank-you SNL weekend update) Well we took it in stride and for the next couple of months it was all about waiting for Kevin's next attempt to catch us off guard.

Fast forward to about a month ago (present day) I was walking up 5th ave with my trusty Barack (the black lab not the other guy) and who do i see coming straight for me? No not Oprah...Kevin Bacon, Again just out of no where, I didn't have any cash on me so he just walked on by looking for his next victim perhaps. I was walking down that street first he just had no right, and then all of a sudden he was gone. Well I decided I'm not going to be a victim of the Kevin Bacons of the world next time I would be ready...if there was a next time, maybe he'd had enough of me?

Let's go to Friday May 1st 2009 also known as MayDay! I had a short schedule and a hurt foot but Napoleon was waiting for me to arrive downtown. I boarded the B train at the 59th St Subway after switching from the 1 train. I only take the B so i can then transfer to the F or V trains, Naps is quite a ways away from the Upper West Side of Manhattan (sorry for the sidetrack) back to the point. Someone decided to pull the emergency brake and we stalled at the 7th Ave Station, I thought I might wait the stall out as I was in no hurry. While I waited that man found me again! Kevin Bacon boarded my train, but this time I was ready and if you see this man beware he may follow you around New York City and you better be extra careful, because he just doesn't understand some of us (mainly me) just don't like BACON. (I haven't touched the stuff since i was 10)
