Hey Pumpkin, what do you have here?



OMG, its a Pumpkin slipper!



Shouldn't we be getting royalties on this?

Menace out!

Note from Mommy: These slippers are by FuzzyNation and I got them at Macy's in Chicago on State St., however Macy's web site lists them as sold out. Other breeds are available including boston terrier, english bulldog, and pug.

Hello, Menace super agent here!

I sent Pumpkin to the Phodographer Mike Lavoie to get some good shots of her Pumpkin Spice Latte outfit for her portfolio.

Mommy jumped in to some of the pictures to act as the barista, and wow I didn't know she could model too! Look at how Mommy's eyes look right at the camera, while Pumpkin's eyes look in two completely different directions. Perhaps I should represent Mommy instead?

Hello, Pumpkin here!

Menace was checking out the Internet for my pawparazzi photos, and he found some great shots taken by Susan Mattes. Check them out!

Hello, Menace here.

As you know, I am Pumpkin's agent. And although it appears that I sit around and do nothing, that is not the case. I am constantly watching TV to improve my talent management skills.

One of my favorite shows is "Toddlers and Tiaras" because it has tips for getting a great performance out of Pumpkin in her costume contests. There is not much difference between a Halloween costume and an "outfit of choice" or "wow wear." All my work has finally paid off. Pumpkin won overall first prize in the fashion show at Chicago Canine Rescue's Mutt Strut for her "Pumpkin Spice Latte." The contest judge was our very own Miss Illinois Angela Sparrow. Pumpkin was very excited to meet her. Pumpkin was a little less excited to meet her dog Zen. So much for winning Miss Congeniality.



As the winner, Pumpkin will receive a coat of her choice from Dog-a-holics. I can't really collect 10% of a coat, but my prize will really be some quiet Pumpkin-free moments inside while Pumpkin it out walking in the cold.

Hi, Pumpkin here!

I am very excited because today marked the first day of canine Halloween costume contest season here in Chicago. I debuted my new outfit today at the PAWS Run for their Lives event.

After my Lady Gaga and Katy Perry getups from years past, I was hoping Mommy would pick out something beautiful and dignified this year. I'm talkin' Kate Middleton or Natalie Portman. I had no such luck.

Here I am as a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte! This year Mommy got in on the act and dressed as my barista. I love that we dressed up together as a team, though I don't understand why I couldn't be the barista and Mommy couldn't be the silly one.



The contest was sponsored by Disney's Spooky Buddies and Evangers pet food. I came in second place and won a big basket of Evangers food and treats! I also won an Evangers calendar which I gave to Menace as his 10%. I thought if he actually kept track of dates he might improve his management skills.

Since Mommy dressed up with me, do you think she gets part of my prize? I am not sure I want to share. Evangers canned dog food is my favorite!

Hello, Pumpkin here.

Just wanted to let everyone know my dental surgery was successful and I am recuperating.

I lost four of my teethies, and three of them were in the front. I think I will need to get a flipper for modeling. I hope to get it in time for Halloween costume contest season.

The vet gave Mommy my pulled teethies so I could rest assured they were not going for sale on eBay.

No photos as I am not looking my best right now.

Hello, Pumpkin here!

Mommy hasn't taken me to the Dog Party House for a while, so when she told me there was a small dog meetup I jumped at the chance to come.

Of course, I had to dress up. Polka dots are very hot this fall for both people and dogs.


I love the small dog parties because there are lots of small dog lovers there to pay attention to me. I don't normally pay attention to my competition!



There were like a million Chihuahuas there!



But from afar one of the Chihuahuas really stood out. Who is that handsome dog?



It turns out that dog is named Pumpkin too. Its totally like when Taylor Swift was hanging out with Taylor Lautner!



Do you think we make a good pair?

Hello, Pumpkin here!

I have been in hiding for the past few weeks because I did not want the paparazzi to capture my cat food induced weight gain. I worked hard to shed those extra ounces, and when the Anti-Cruelty Society's annual Bark-Be-Que came around I was ready to flaunt my improved physique!

Here I am entering the event with Mommy. What, no red carpet? The recession is even hitting the celebrity circuit!



This Anti-Cruelty volunteer was clearly floored to have a celebrity of my stature at the event.



The Anti-Cruelty Society knows that dogs love Barbecue. I had a piece of bacon, a piece of hot dog, a dog cupcake, and a piece of doggie carob cake. What a haul!



Although the food was great, the best part was spending time together with Mommy.



For more event photos check out the Anti-Cruelty Society on Flickr.

I am getting my teethies cleaned on Tuesday so please cross your paws for me.

Hello, Menace here!

Today Pumpkin, Mommy, and I went to the vet. Apparently I have been losing weight, and Pumpkin has been gaining weight.  Why would that be?  Duh!  I have been trying to tell Mommy for weeks that the little monster has been eating my food.

Of course, Pumpkin has been very slick about this and Mommy does not catch her eating my food, but even Mommy admitted that sometimes Pumpkin has tuna breath and she isn't sure why. Tuna is for cats, that's why!



The vet says I have to eat my food on a counter or raised place Pumpkin cannot reach. Ha! Japanese Chin are supposed to be agile climbers, but Pumpkin can barely jump her fat butt onto the couch. This should be no problem.
