Menace was reading MSN Wonderwall (because he is in the entertainment industry) and he pointed out this story on celebrities that look like dogs to me.

The article said that the Olsen Twins resemble Japanese Chin! What do you think?



They do kind of have big eyes and they are very tiny. But I think I am better dressed!

My handsome Mango sent me the most lovely certificate for my second place win in Mango Minster:



Menace and I have been quiet lately because I have been busy with my Growlentines, and Menace has been busy keeping them out of the press.

Well, I have some good news, I am the second female runner up in the Mango Minster Hard Working Dogs category. Now as you recall, Menace entered the Cat Dog category earlier this week and did not place. That just goes to show you that I'm not just lucky, but rather talented. I hope this experience has shown Menace that acting and modeling is really hard work.



Unfortunately, Mommy sent in my embarrassing Lady Gaga photo and now tons more people have seen it. And to make matters worse, Mommy got a new cell bone and made that photo her wallpaper. Now she can easily share that photo with everyone. Menace has taken Mommy's old cell bone to run his agency with. Last time I checked Verizon did not accept payment in hairballs or can covers so good luck getting that to work buddy.



I would also like to congratulate the Bad Sport winner Tai Chi! Mommy's t-shirt shop Superbuddy Pets sponsored that category and will send TaiChi's mommy a gift certificate.

Hard Working dogs are up! Be sure to vote for me in Mango Minster by 5pm ET Feb 5.

        

Hi, Menace here.

First of all I would like to thank everyone for supporting me in Mango Minster. The cat results are in and I did not win or place. I thought it was going to be so easy; just throw on a duck hat and look at the camera. But winning contests is not as easy as Pumpkin makes it look. Maybe she has more talent than I give her credit for.

Now I have been working on building my Menace Management Agency as you know and I have found a great resource. There is a show on Animal Planet called "The Pit Boss" about Shorty Rossi. He runs a little people and pit bull talent agency that helps fund his pit bull rescue. What a helpful resource this show is for someone starting a talent agency!


Shorty runs into a lot of the issues i have. For example, in the last episode one of Shorty's employees Ronald was complaining about having to dress up as a lobster being boiled in a pot just one week after a gig as an Ooompa Looompa. He wants to do serious acting, but there are not a lot of serious roles for little people. Pumpkin has the same issue. She is tired of dressing up as Lady Gaga or a giant burrito. She wants a serious acting role too. Now Shorty must have figured something out, because I'm pretty sure I saw Ronald in an episode of Weeds. Pumpkin would be great on Weeds!

To make matters worse, Sake and Sumo just emailed me a link for a commercial on Animal Planet that stars a Japanese Chin who is not wearing any kind of silly costume.  When Pumpkin sees this she is going to skin me! She was born for this role.

I am going to have to hide in my cat tree until this blows over.

Menace Out!

        

Well, normally I am the one entering contests but this time it is Menace who is competing! Menace has entered the "cat-dog" category at Mango Minster. I think it is good for Menace to experience the pressure of the limelight and the humiliation of a certain human's questionable wardrobe choices.

Anyways you can view all the contestant photos in the Mango Minster Cat Dog Preview.

Vote for Menace using the radio buttons on the left hand side of the Mango Minster web page. Oh and peeEss don't tell Menace that the Reader's Choice prize is donation to the charity of his choice. I think it will be good for Mr. Where's My 10% to learn a little about giving!



If Menace wins the cat-dog group and goes on to compete in best in show, I think I see a Lady Gaga costume in his future.

When it gets cold here in Chicago Pumpkin likes to wear clothes but I don't want to cover one inch of my handsome self.

I just learned that dogs can be as warm as 102.5 F, while people are only 98.6 F. So I have started lying on Pumpkin for warmth. Those few extra degrees are worth putting up with dog smell.



Menace Out!

        

Well I have to hand it to my manager Menace as I am just a little bit more famous this morning. My photo is slide 9 of 50 in a Chicago Red Eye story about how dogs keep warm in the winter. Harry you will want to pay attention to this when you visit me for Growlentine's Day because I know you are not used to the cold.

Article: These Chicago dogs are so you, you can't stop looking.

        

Sake and Sumo asked me if I would like to be their talent agent. Of course my goal is to be a super agent like Entourage's Ari Gold, so I said YES! I am going to be the go-to agent for Japanese Chin. Be sure to click on their pictures to see their ads for WCIU and vote for them as Top Dog of the Month.



Now I knew that Pumpkin would be a little jealous, so I sent her to Krisers for some grooming and pampering. Since it is so cold in Chicago right now, Pumpkin had to ride over to Krisers in Mommy's coat.



She sure doesn't look happy with me. I may need to think of some ideas to cheer her up. That is all a part of working with talent.

Menace Out!
