My last "to do" was to play and I got to do that with Mr. Rick. Ms. D says it's good for me and I can learn to interact better with folks if I can play and be social. She brought me a toy too that I got to play with. Mr. Rick was a lot of fun and boy was I tired after all that! Ms. D said I can see all my pictures here. Ms. D said she may not be back for awhile so I need to practice on all the six steps she's gone over with me so far. She's going to rewrite my bio and post a new head shot too on the Rescue website. Thanks Ms. D!

So my PR Reps returned today and Ms. D was ready to get to work. She also brought other Reps with her to check me out too. Ms. D had her camera again so we here we go! Luckily there's lots of sun and shade that's making her mad because it's going to mess up the pictures so maybe we won't take as many today. I know Mr. Rick is hoping that :)

Doing PR Work is Exhausting!

Ok after an afternoon of "being seen", "interacting", and "taking pictures", I am exhausted. So is Mr. Rick but Ms. D is still taking pictures! And she said we weren't done. We have to plan events that I can go to and meet more people and take more pictures and be seen. She and Mr. Rick are going to come back next weekend again for more PR work. I better rest up. I got the feeling Ms. D is going to take a gazillion pictures again.

Ms. D said we had to take lots of pictures for my portfolio so folks would have lots to look at. And she wanted all these different poses. Mr. Rick and I were getting pretty frustrated with Ms. D on this one. I can't pose, I'm a dog? So we tried our best. See my first portfolio here.

Next on Ms. D's list of to-dos was to interact with others and network. We were able to knock this one out while taking our walk to "be seen" because these folks came out to play with me and gave me lots of tummy rubs and compliments. I'm thinking this new PR thing is working; don't you think?

OK, so I hired new PR reps to find me a forever home. They came up to visit me this past weekend. Their names are Ms. D and Mr. Rick. I think Mr. Rick is more like Ms. D's assistant cuz she did all the talking. Ms. D said we had lots of work to do. We had to start by getting out and being seen so we decided to go for a walk in the neighborhood.

Who Am I?

Hi, my name is Seamus. Seamus is Irish for "James" but James as a dog's name? Geez...gimme a break! Did you know that Pink Floyd had a song called Seamus on their album "Meddle"? The song is named after the dog who performed howling 'vocals' on the album version of the track. Pretty cool trivia huh. I thought so.

Ok, so here I am, a dog rescued by Texas Alaskan Malamute Rescue. I was abandoned by my owners and a kind neighbor tried to take me in but his dog didn't like me so he had to turn me into a shelter. I live in Austin, Texas with my foster mom Ms. Lynn. I've been in rescue since December 2006. That's over 2 years now. What's up with that? I had to fire my PR firm and hire a new one! They started this blog for me. Hope it helps!
