  • Video

    We’re almost done!  We finally submitted all of our info today so our videographers can get started.  I stayed up until 4 in the morning finishing up yet another Skippee folder.  Now it is all out of my hands~ no more worrying about video.

    Except…there is this one song I’ve been searching for.  I’d be soo happy and thankful if someone out there knew what it was.

    Pink Puppy & Off the Leash

    On our way to Rome we sat next to Kitten Sera & Miss Kisses.  They are on Lifetime’s Off the Leash which is a reality show about a pet talent agency called Le Paws.

    Le Paws

    One day Andy & I were at the dog park with Bella and we were approached by a scout for Le Paws.  They wanted to interview Bella.  We went just for fun…

    Here’s a clip of part of the interview:
     

    Bella actually did pretty well so they contacted us again to say that they’d like to represent her!  Funny, huh?  We’re still thinking about it because it would mean getting professional training and we’re not sure if we have time for that right now.

    Sky Bark

    Have you ever wanted to take your dog to a bar?  We actually have a place like that in LA (and more locations have opened up nationwide).  Sky Bark is a dog friendly bar!  They host great events that benefit animal rescues.  I really want to go!  Maybe my next project will be hosting a fundraising party there for Xanga buddies & their dogs & just people in general who love dogs.

    Bella’s Birthday!

    It was Bella’s birthday recently so I wanted to share just how big our little fluffmeister has gotten.

    bella & puppy  

    Bella had a crazy birthday weekend.  My mom & I took her out to dinner and Pinkberry.  The next day I had Teresa & Katherine over for a slumber party.  We went out to dinner and came back to discover Bella had gone through Teresa’s bag and chewed up her lemon soap!  Later we found that she ate 2 pieces of cake Katherine had bought earlier that night.  Then the little pooch snooped through my purse and took a piece of gum out of the package, unwrapped it and chewed it up.  Can you believe it?  Usually she is such a good girl…maybe she knew it was her birthday weekend?

    Leaving Soon

    We’re leaving in just a few more days to Koh Samui & HK!  I’m so excited!  I really want to take nice photos while I’m out there.  I have a Canon Rebel XT.  Can anyone recommend a good lens I could buy for taking travel photos?  I’m a beginner but LOVE taking photos.  Thanks!      

    *EDIT* – my , Gina just sent me this…soo funny!  She doesn’t do Xanga so she always sends me comments via e-mail.

  • bella is sooo cute! i must get a dog. hehe.

  • bella is soooo adorable!

    and I <3 fifty foot films! theyre by far the best!

  • the slow part in the beginning, i don’t know what it is, but I planned to use the second one in my wed video too – I think it’s gavin degraw – meaning (but get the acoustic version – the one on the film) :) <3 it!

  • Bella’s legs are so long now!  I love the before/after photo next to the same stuffed puppy. How exciting to be approached by a pet talent agency though – even if you don’t have the time right now, it’s quite flattering that someone recognizes that something special in your baby!

  • happy birthday to bella!  what a cutie pie!

  • bella really is one of the most adorable dogs i’ve ever seen. and i could totally sense her personality by looking at her pictures. i heard there are dog-friendly bars in nyc, but i haven’t been. oh, i’ve seen that dog on tv, yes! :) enjoy your time! can’t wait to see your pix! :D :D :D

  • Your Bella is SO adorable!  I seriously envy your life… Koh Samui AND HK? Must be nice.:)

  • ryc: i dont know – my sister downloaded it off the internet for me :) haha yes, I have an illegal copy – i’m not sure where to buy it though – maybe the single – i saw something on amazon.com like it, but i’m not sure if its the exact version? You might want to email fifity foot films – maybe they’ll let you know! (if you find out, please tell me! I want the exact version they have… I have an acoustic version now, but its not exactly the same…)

  • That’s funny that you celebrated her bday all weekend. Ha.

  • CUTE! i love the picture of that dog DJing, haha. have fun in THAILAND and HK!!! I can’t wait to hear all about it and see your pictures.

  • bella is soo cute!!! i love the dog-friendly bar idea…so LA!

  • Bella can be a star and you guys can retire!! Only in LA do they have dog agents – that’s so funny! I’m glad I got to meet Bella – she’s so funny, esp. with those animal print shoes.  I hope you have an awesome time and I’m sure your pictures will be GORGEOUS.  It’s so pretty where you are going you can take pretty pictures with a disposable camera.  Yay for being done with the video!

  • Have fun in HK~ ;o)

  • thank ya thank ya. hehe

    by the way, what kind of dog is bella??? ( :

  • hey thanks! if you go back a few posts…around oct.25, there are more pics from the wedding & my bridal shower. =) i LOVE your wedding photos too! so beautiful!

  • have you tried contacting the website master? that song is beautiful! let me know too :) thank you

  • happy birthday to bella! and hope you have a great time on your vacation!

  • ooh if my dog can stand a trip more than 30 min I can go! (taking traffic in consideration)

  • i’ve never heard of that show b4..that is so cool.  i want to watch if it’s still on…i must look for it.  happy bday to bella…her face is soo adorable, she looks like a stuffed animal =)  is that the same stuffed animal she is posing next to in the 2 pictures…my how she’s grown!  she must have had a wonderful bday!  that doggy bar is too cute..i would totally go, but my dogs are little scaredy cats and are scared of other dogs/people.  i can’t walk them half a block without them wanting me to pick them up because they see someone walking towards us or because a little doggy wants to play…so embarassing!  have a great time on your wonderful vacay!

  • aw, happy birthday to bella!  she is one cuuuuute dog!

    i listened to the clip but i don’t know what the name of the song is.    it’s beautiful though!  good luck with that~

  • I listened to the clip but did not know the piece!!!!  :(   Sorry I can’t help you out.

    Wow those videos are superb!!!!!!  Makes me feel like our wedding video is so….juvenile, lol!  I had a song suggestion for you but then it was too late. It was “in a little while” by U2.  Our videographer used it for our wedding clip during the scene where we were getting ready, did you recognize it?

  • wow, that was some post! bella is too cute!! thanks for dropping by!

  • i love bella!!  happy b-day to her!!  coco & i want to see you girls again real soon… right after your trip! 

  • Happy belated Birthday Bella!! She’s such a cutey pie!

  • skippeeee~where are youuu?~ i miss you terribly!! hurry back =)

  • hey chica!
    I LOVE my Paige jeans! I’ll let you know next time I hear about one- someone just emailed me the info. It IS sample season though- last weekend there was also a diane von furstenburg sample sale and a J and company jeans sale, too.

  • aweee… bella is soo cute!! and she’s grown so much!! happy birthday bella. =)

    i didn’t know they had dog friendly bars in LA. but i shouldn’t be surprised… i work for a dog friendly company hehe.

    i hope tessa gets it too… lets keep our fingers crossed.

  • You have a celebrity on your hands!!! How cool!  Happy Birthday Bella! Many more too!!!

  • thanks :) & you have an adorable doggie :)

  • Yeah, I think I will play it by ear. And going part time seems to be a pretty good option. Thanks for your advice.

  • bella’s such a crack-up! hahaha eating the soap and 2 slices of cake!! silly girl! i love animals!! have a great great time!! so excited for you. take lots and lots of pix!! so cool if bella was represented, huh?

  • i def recognize the clip b/c i used to have a windup carousel horse that would play that tune, but I can’t remember the name. I’m sure it’s written on the bottom if i could only find it… :)

  • i found it! i laughed when i found out what it was.. it’s called Memory by Andrew Lloyd Webber and it’s apparently from Cats! haha!

    here’s a link.. i was looking up music box tunes to try and figure it out since it was bugging me.. LoL…

    and i found a couple piano versions, but not the exact one from the clip…i’m thinking that the clip used a slowed down cover but i have no idea who did it… good luck, hope u find it! :)

  • yeah, the cherry blossoms were beautiful!  it was perfect because they were literally at every turn of the corner. 

    btw, i’ve been looking to change hair stylists and so i’m excited to try out chop chop salon.  on another note, i also can’t wait to check out sky bark with my doggie :)

    p.s. bella is adorable

  • Bella is adorable.  Great clip.

  • ryc: Im so glad that little girl was adopted. Where you planning on flying over here to get her?

  • bella is sooo cute!!! 

    I also use the canon rebel xt, its a great camera.  I have both the 17-40mm and 24-105mm zoom lenses.  I use mostly the 17-40mm for closeup indoor shots (for the baby), where the 24-105mm is a great all around lens when travel.  the canon 24-70mm lens (which I don’t own) has slightly better review than the 24-105mm, but the downside is it’s heavier.  the site below has review/rating of all canon lenses.

  • Your Bella is tooo cute for words!

  • happy birthday, skippee~!!!

  • hey you! your bella is so darling and sweet. i love how she was approached to be represented – so o.c.! hope you and your family are doing well :)

  • I listened to the clip and I couldn’t put my finger on the song. 

    I love the pics of Bella!  Her puppy pictures kind of remind me of my first dog…almost brought a tear to my eye remembering her. 

  • Hi Jenny! This is Miny’s friend, Jenn! Miny showed me your website to look at all your wedding prep photos and advice. I love how detailed you are so am subscribing to get ideas for my own wedding. Hope you are doing well :) !

  • thanks so much for the encouraging words!  yeah, bar prep is a bear…i’m so behind already.  i don’t know how you guys did this!! =P  is your best fried taking barbri at the westside location by any chance?

  • ryc: I’m glad I found a fellow pickle lover! I’m curious about the Stand.  The only time I have liked pickles that aren’t Claussens are in NYC delis where they are really really big.

  • hi jenny!  aw man, i’m actually in the morning session of barbri.  but we see the afternoon students arriving as our class gets out, so maybe i’ll run into her sometime!  as for the pics, i’m the one in the gray striped top.  btw, where did you do your bar trip?

  • i too wasn’t subscribed to your site, dumb me! i’m late but happy birthday to bella! she is adorable!

  • so apparently i missed this post?! what the.. lol. happy super belated birthday to bella!! =) wow.. she’s gotten so big! i wish i had before and after pics of bentley too.. boo.

    you should totally have her do commercials and be a star! :D i’ve thought of getting bentley into show business, but he’s so naughty i’m not sure if he can handle it. lol. we’ll see..

    hope all is well! i’ll ttysoon!!

  • Thank you! Don’t forget tonight! I’m so nervous… I wonder who’s the top 20? I like the “luggage” girl so far =).

  • RYC:  I thought it was so strange that my mom would tell me to call my in-laws…maybe its an Asian thing?  I’m 100% Korean, and my hubby is 1/2 white and 1/2 Vietnamese and his parents are divorced.  They are so different from my parents that I’m just not sure how to relate to them.  And on top of that they are both divorced and remarried, there are no divorces on my side of the family…so thats something thats weird to me too.  I have to deal with his parents and his step parents (his dad remarried just a year ago).

  • you need to update your site, woman!  and we need to play!!

  • bella is soooo cute here.
