Urban Rush

Today I went on the Urban Rush talk show. This was my second talk show appearance. I had previously been on Global Television's breakfast show. There were other dogs in the studio with me. A very handsome (but shy) giant golden retriever named Barkley and a pretty doberman whose name I cannot remember. She was so quiet, I could barely hear her name when she told me. I was there to promote my movie Lucky Stars, and they were there to find their own peoples. They were both dogs up for adoption at the SPCA. They were doggies without homes. So sad. They seemed very nice so I hope they find homes soon. Also, there were bunnies! The Urban Rush people wouldn't let me play with the bunnies.

The hosts Mike and Fiona were very nice to me, but they teased Maureen a lot. I got to kiss Mike. Mostly I sat around and looked cute. They even mentioned my Dog Blog!!

Tonight I watched the season finale of Lost. They didn't show Vincent very much. He mostly tugged at his leash on the beach. Then I finished a bone. Now I'm off to bed to rest up for the big day tomorrow -- my fundraiser for the SPCA Biscuit Fund.

more me in the media

I got a mention in this week's Georgia Straight, saying I'll be greeting everyone at the Van East Cinema this Thursday, and I am supposed to be on the Urban Rush talk show tomorrow. If you're watching Urban Rush, look for the cute black labrador with the saucy glint in her eye.

this says it all

it's time for a new Littlest Hobo

So far, the esteemed David Mamet has not written me back. He doesn't know what he's missing. Peoples have been writing me all week since my appearance on Animal Planet the other day. I'm probably the only dog on that channel that hasn't had to study with Dr. Stanley Coren. I'm a professional. I don't need no stinkin' behaviour modification. Grrrr.

I have a new idea. I think TV should bring back The Littlest Hobo. I would be the bestest dog to appear in it. I can see it now "Starring Lucky as the Littlest Hobo". Not to take anything away from London. He was an amazing actor. And I know what peoples are thinking: "But Lucky, hobo is a German Shepherd and you're a Labrador." To that I say "phwooshch" and sigh really loudly. They're remaking The Honeymooners with Cedric The Entertainer in the Jackie Gleason role, right? They already remade Heaven Can Wait with Chris Rock. So why not remake The Littlest Hobo with a Labrador Retriever.

In the meantime, until that day happens, enjoy The Littlest Hobo theme in Spanish and Scottish, and check out my appearance in the new video for White Whale Records band kids these days.

An Open Letter to David Mamet

Dear Mr. Mamet,

I am very excited to hear about your new movie Joan Of Bark: The Dog That Saved France. I am a huge fan of your work. I really adore your films State And Main, The Winslow Boy, and The Spanish Prisoner. I was the producer and star of the first all dog version of Speed-The-Plow, in which I played the Madonna part. I am currently trying to mount an all dog version of Boston Marriage. I know you write terrific dialogue for animals because I was very impressed with the bear's monologue in The Edge, although I was disappointed there wasn't a real buffalo in American Buffalo, not to mention no major dog part in Wag The Dog.

However, I do suspect there is a dog role in Joan Of Bark and I think I would be the best dog for that role. I have starred in one feature already, as well as short films and music videos. I just won an award in the Best Pet Awards. Yes, I would make a perfect Joan. I'm also strong and can speak a little French. "Oui woof!!"

So have your people call my people. I am also a big fan of Rebecca Pidgeon, even though she is not a real pigeon.

Hugs and wiggles,
Lucky

newspaper

I am all alone today. Everyone went off to a wedding. I have had some peoples here to take me for walks, but mostly it is a day to get some bone chewing done. I am working on a really tasty bone right now. I was in the newspaper again today. I have now been in the newspaper at least three times. Usually I am in the gossip column, but today I am in the entertainment section. However, the writer said I was a BOY!! I am a young lady, thank you very much. Some would even say I'm a bitch. Well, if anyone ever calls me a boy again, I'll show you bitch.

Okay, I'm kidding. I love the press. You can call me whatever you want, just don't call me late for dinner. NEVER call a labrador late for dinner.

Thank you, and I now return you to your regularly scheduled adorable Lucky. You may commence rubbing my belly.

Celluloid Social Club

Tonight I went to the Celluloid Social Club at the Anza to promote the SPCA benefit screening of my movie Lucky Stars. This was a big deal for me because I was banned from the Anza for a while because of my drunken table dancing incident. Peoples still speak of this incident. Some even started calling me Lucky Lohan. I tried to blame it on Bailey (Nick's dog) but truth be told, Bailey wasn't even there. He's usually a good scapedog. But I wasn't drunk.

You see, I was trying to stand up to see the movie they were showing and I knocked over the table. That made me kind of skittish (as it would any dog) so I jumped on to a nearby table and spilled some beer, which got all over my fur, so I smelled like I was drunk.

However, tonight I redeemed myself. I only barked a couple times and I watched all the movies! I really liked the commercials and trailers they played because they were short and had lots of movement. I am very proud of my patience tonight. I am not so proud of my unelegant approach to the front of the room to greet my audience. I tried to jump onstage and missed... in front of about 150 peoples. No one laughed, but I knew I looked silly. Then I licked the microphone a lot as they took my picture. I put out the word to find me some scripts to direct and some peoples came up to me after and talked story. I liked one script about a squirrel that a guy told me about, although I think the squirrel should get caught by a dog at the end of the story.
