my new TV crush

I used to think that Madison, the dog who plays Vincent on "Lost", was the best canine actor on television these days. However, like other cast members of that series, Madison was busted for driving under the influence. In Madison's case, the "influence" in question was a dare from one of her human cast mates. And that's not what got her in trouble. She was ticketed for not having a license. By that, I mean she didn't have a Hawaiian state dog license. It's a complicated story, but the end result is she hasn't appeared on "Lost" for a very long time.

So who is now the best canine actor on television? Easy answer. Orbit! She's a sassy golden who plays Digby on the new television series "Pushing Daisies". Orbit is a veteran thespian with credits on shows such as "Dead Like Me" and The Love Letter. She can do comedy, drama, action and musical numbers. She also has a stunt dog named Orion who is a budding talent.


Like Madison, Orbit plays a boy dog character. And considering that Cate Blanchett just won a Golden Globe for playing a man, I'm starting to realize that if I want to keep working, I should play a boy dog. I'm getting pretty good at peeing with my leg up. My aim is so good, I can hit a lamp post without looking back to check. I just walk up, lift, fire, and walk away. I barely ever squat anymore.

Happy Holidogs!

I can't believe it's a new year already. I tend to live in the present, so time often gets away on me, but the truth is I've been super busy for the past few months.

First of all, I have a new sister. I don't know much about her yet because I haven't spent much time with her. She spends most of her time sleeping, pooping and crying. I'm not crazy about the crying, but the pooping and sleeping is exciting. Hopefully she'll wind up being as sweet as my other sister.

I've also been conducting an intensive cat-thropology study. Cats are strange animals. They smell funny and hiss a lot. However, their food is amazing. Yes, I must confess, I'm a cat food junkie. What can I say? Cat food has a nice fishy taste and a pleasing mouth feel. Most of my study has consisted of staring intently at a handsome cat named Ivan. However, I spent Christmas and New Year's with an older cat named Sushi. I even touched noses with her.

My holidays were so much fun. I spent a lot of time in the ocean, chasing balls into giant waves. I went hiking to see a waterfall and ancient ruins. On the beach, I met up with some senior dogs in their mid and late teens. I was so excited to be the young pup among them. I now need a vacation from my holidays.

Happy new year!
