BEASTIE
 
My Soul Sister Pretty Beastie Girl the Cat Actress!

Beastie Girl is my first sister. Daddy named her Beastie after his favorite music group the Beastie Boys. She came with my Daddy when he moved in with Mommy and Me. She and I are soulsisters. She and I play fun games, and we snuggle. She is in showbiz too. She has done print work, played "Princess" in a Lottery Commercial 2005, and just starred in an NYU film titled "A Little Friend" playing "Lily" directed by Alison Beede in 2006. She won runner up in the Petco Halloween contest 2003 as a Jets fan and she modeled for Amanda Jones Photography in 2005 and she was a semi-finalist in the Macy's Petacular fashion show parade 2006. I love her very much! She is a Scottish Fold! Her favorite thing to do is "give five" for Kitty Kaviar!

Riff is my third sister a.k.a. Riffy Girl. She just moved in this July 2005. Marcello from Animal Haven brought her into our lives. After we adopted her, my Mommy named her after a character that P.J. Soles played named Riff Randell in the movie with The Ramones called Rock 'N' Roll High School....she is a punk rocker! She is so funny. We love to play.  She just started in Showbiz. She has modeled for Petshmina dog sweaters, and modeled for Flipside/Fashion Icon online Magazine, and just did a documentary for Doga. I love her very much! She is a Chihuahua/Japanese Chin/Toy Fox Terrier mix as determined by Wisdom Mixed Breed Analysis test. She is also a therapy dog at an elderly home and certified through Bide-a-wee in a Reading for Kids program.  Her new website is : www.PureMutts.com. She is the new face of www.WhatsMyDog.com a.k.a www.WisdomPanel.com .

    ....My Mommy, the first night she brought me home we smiled at each other!
     
    ....My Daddy, he is so funny!
     
    ....All of the vets at the DVM Hospitals(West Village and Tribeca-Soho) in Manhattan for taking such great care of me....especially Dr. Berg and Dr. Yoshida!

    My Experiences in Showbiz...

    My First Audition:
    *David Letterman's Stupid Pet Tricks, but he said my trick was cute not stupid! They have me on video doing my "hop along bye bye trick" to Mommy! 1998
     
    My Second Audition:
    *A Broadway show called "Hurrah At Last" for the Roundabout Theatre Company, they said I was adorable and talented, but they needed a bigger dog, whatever!  The network news teams were there! 1999

    Roundabout Company to Audition Dogs For Last Hurrah April 10

    05 Apr 1999 We've all heard about overbearing stage mothers who attempt to live vicariously through their children. On April 10, NY's Roundabout Theatre Company urges all would-be overbearing "stage dog owners" to bring their canines out to audition for the role of "Thunder" in Richard Greenberg's Hurrah at Last . The audition will be held at 11 AM at The Roundabout's Criterion Center home (1530 Broadway at 45th Street), although the production will take place at Off-Broadway's Gramercy Theatre. The casting director is searching for a "very large and energetic dog," though all dogs are invited to audition. The first thirty owners who show at the audition (with dog in tow) will receive a complementary pair of tickets for the production. Previews for the production begin May 13. Owners wishing to register for the audition should call "Bubbles" at (212) 575-3030 x236. -- By Sean McGrath

    OSCAR

    Oscar is my only brother. He moved in after Olive. When he first moved in we had some sibling rivalry, but he figured out quickly that this my house and I am the Alpha! My Mommy named him Oscar, after the Odd Couple character because he is sloppy. Oscar is in Showbiz. His first job was modeling dog bags with Mommy and Aunt Paula in 2003 on the WB 11 Morning News. He has done many print ads, performed in a play ( The Cherry Orchard at NYU in 2004), has been in documentaries, and has won contests. He was in the print ads for Sherpa 2004,2005,2006,2007, ASPCA cover boy Fall 2005 and Dogswalk 2005.  He follows us everywhere off-leash in the city....our shadow:) I love him very much! He is a ShihaPoo! His favorite thing to do is crawl in warm laundry after it comes out of the dryer. He also is very Zen, he loves Doga, he does awesome poses and has been in dog yoga worldwide documentaries and a kids public access tv show! He is also a therapy dog at an elderly home.

    OLIVE

    Olive is my second sister. Olive is a street cat from our neighborhood that was being abused. My Mommy and Daddy heard about it and they rescued her. She was tattered and torn by cruelty, but Mommy and Daddy healed her with medicine, patience and love:) My Mommy named her Olive because she is like the character Olive Oyl in Popeye, long and lanky....plus she has olive green eyes. She is not in Showbiz. I love her very much! She is a Tabby cat! Her favorite thing to do is to warm her paws under the radiator.
