Fame.

B: YES! I’M BACK!!!! It’s been quite a ride lately for me (and, I guess, Mocha) after I won Wikifido’s “Pooch With Pizazz” contest http://www.wikifido.com/page/Dog+Photo+Contest+Voting. I have to say, it was all a little much for me at the beginning…the cameras…the instant fame….but I took it all in stride like a pro. Here I am being interviewed by Jay Leno on “The Tonight Show”. Oh, I had him in stitches! The audience couldn’t get enough of me!!! God…look at me!!! I look just like Angelina or Gwyneth! Jay told me later that I was one of the best dog guests that he’s ever had on the show! I totally took a ride on one of his Harleys after we shot this….

What isn’t pictured is Mocha sulking in the “Green Room”.

M: For the 50th time already….I wasn’t sulking! I was watching you intently on the plasma they had in there. Why would I sulk? They had about 7,000 kinds of dog treats for me AND someone made me a Doggie-tini.

B: Right. Anyhoo, when Ellen heard about my win, she called immediately and this was one of my favorite photos from the shoot:

Don’t I look spectacular???!!! I mean, of course Ellen looks great…but I’m actually radiating a kind of glow from the inside!

M: AND she gave us some cans of Halo dog food to take home too!!! YUM!

B: Ugh, you’re so crass….this is what I had to deal with the whole time. Even when I’m in the spotlight….all she can think about is food.

M: Uh, you love that damn Halo food too….don’t act all high and mighty now.

B: Okay, can we get back to me now? Here I am doing a photo shoot with TYRA!!! She is the coolest and she’s totally gorgeous. We had dinner and totally talked about doing “America’s Next Top Dog Model”. I, of course, would host.

After our trip, we threw a party for me and it was BANGING! I can’t tell you who exactly was there, but let’s just say that Perez Hilton said he would so write about it on his blog…..

Here I am, a tad toasted….

And here I am, reflecting on my newfound celebrity, as Mocha tries not to puke.

Girls on film.

B: So, you may or may not know this…but we’re actually a big deal. We know this because we were put in our pet carrier one day and were taken to Mid Coast studios where we had our very own PHOTO SHOOT. Oh yeah, that’s right. Move over Kardashian sisters (we watch E! all day long…so we know what’s what), here we come!

M: It was pretty cool, I have to say. There was this really nice, tall guy who started taking our pictures.

B: Uh, would you let me tell the story please? You don’t know how to explain it correctly and your vocabulary totally lacks any style.

M: Oh, I see we’re back to our same shenanigans again, huh B?

B: Whatever. Anyway, the set was a crisp white (I think it really brought out my eyes), and our owner acted as our “stylist”, as she put our bed, bark lounger and our toys all around us. I think the setup was quite good…I felt good – and I know damn well that I looked gorgeous, too. Our photographer was Ryan Streveler, a sheer genius behind the lens. I brought out my arsenal of poses that I had been practicing, thanks to “America’s Top Model”. I mean, take a look at this one…

Gorgeous, isn’t it? I was totally picturing myself modeling some Gucci or Christian Dior Couture. Look at the extension of my back leg! I’m telling you, Miss J would be totally proud of me if she saw that.

Mocha, on the other hand, gave him “cute”, like this one…

To me, this personally looks more “Sears catalog” than Couture. But I guess she tried.

M: You’re talking about me like I’m not even here! I think I look awesome.

B: Yeah. Awesome. You could tell you had no experience. You kept walking into the lens! I think you may have licked it too!!! I don’t think Ryan was too pleased…but the consummate professional that he is, he was a sweetheart about it.

B: Here we are trying to re-create the iconic pose of the girls from ABBA in the video “Fernando”. I think we may have missed the mark a little though. Oh well, I still look hot!

M: How conceited are you? Seriously!
