Gidget gets a new sister….a Trew story

Meet Trew...

She’s 38 lbs of furry love

click here for the “Trew” story

She started out as “Chewy” then “Trudy” and will now be known as “Trew”

and here is the beginning of her story as told by her foster mom Cathy Freitas of H.A.R.T Rescue of UT

“Oh my goodness I love this gal. She is so sweet.

She was a stray that was taken in by some people who decided that they couldn’t keep her.
She is well behaved, and eager to please.

Ginger didn’t like her right away, but Luna LOVES her. She and Luna rampaged around the yard for a couple hours the first night we had her.

I had to give her a bath, as she smelled pretty bad, but I couldn’t brush her mats out. So I did what I could, and let the AMAZING wonderful gals at All Fur Love groomers to do their magic on her today!
Then we took her to the dog park to play while we visited with some good friends (we got to see Kiya too!) and laughed as all the dogs played.
Wow, she sure was having fun!

I’m sure that we won’t have any problem at all finding this special girl a home. She’s gorgeous and sweet… doesn’t get any better than that.”

This is what I first read on Cathy’s Blog that made me fall in love with Trew

I originally found her while combing through petfinder.com over the holidays

Thanks to Lorraine Pak of H.A.R.T rescue of UT Trew will be flying to New York on Pet Airways and will be in her Forever home with Gidget this Friday.

I would also like to thank Namrata Chand of BestFriends.org for assisting with Trew’s travel arrangements.

Gidget Supports Snuffy’s Pet Food Pantry Program!

KIDSTOCK® TAKES OVER BELLEAYRE MOUNTAIN AUGUST 23RD

HOSTED BY AND FEATURING UNCLE ROCK & THE PLAYTHINGS WITH SPECIAL GUESTS PAUL GREEN’S SCHOOL OF ROCK

FREE FAMILY CONCERT AND INTERACTIVE FESTIVAL TO BENEFIT FRIENDS OF SNUFFY’S FOOD PANTRY PROGRAM

PLEASE BRING A PET FOOD DONATION FOR OUR FURRY & FEATHERED FRIENDS IN NEED

The hills of Belleayre Mountain are alive with the sounds and sights of ROCK! Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the original Woodstock Festival, Uncle Rock, the Belleayre Music Conservatory and original festival co-producer Michael Lang of Woodstock Ventures bring you KIDSTOCK®!

Family music troubadour Uncle Rock will host and kick off the festivities at 1PM. Backed by the Playthings, the rockin’ Uncle performs original songs that combine the heart of Pete Seeger with the upbeat rhythms of the Beatles, James Brown, and the Ramones. Following Uncle Rock will be special guests, Paul Green’s School of Rock All-Stars. Ranging in age from kindergarten to high school, this band is the cream of the world-renowned Paul Green’s School of Rock, the real-life inspiration behind the Jack Black movie. Their “Tribute to the Music of Woodstock” will close the day.

Festivalgoers of all ages are encouraged to dress in the style of their favorite musical era or musician. Everyone will get an eyeful at the Rock & Roll Fashion Show, which will feature small fry strutting the stage in everything from punk to hip hop to glam fashions.

For a donation to Friends of Snuffy’s pet food pantry program, you can take the Musical Woodland Journey which brings a combination of history and social consciousness to KIDSTOCK®. By walking through the surrounding trees, wayfaring festival attendees will get an opportunity to encounter music pioneers from Robert Johnson to Janis Joplin to Johnny Rotten. In addition, they will sponsor a Kids’ Pet Poetry Reading; kids can recite poems about their fine feathered and furred friends, or they can compose them on the spot at the FOS booth.

Founded in 2006 by music business vet Mary Gormley, Friends of Snuffy is a 501c3 non-profit organization whose current mission is to help animals stay out of shelters by providing food for owners hit by hard economic times. Previous Snuffyfests have included a James Blunt concert and silent auction, featuring items donated by artists from Sheryl Crow to Peter Max to Eminem.

A multi-generational event, KIDSTOCK® will be a chance for kids, parents and grandparents to have a shared rock and roll experience that will include classic tunes, audience participation, wicked clothes, a music history lesson, and social consciousness. With air guitar, face painting, hula hoops, a kids’ clothing swap, a silent auction and more, KIDSTOCK® promises to be a memorable summer event for the time capsule Ð much like a certain festival held in these same hills forty years ago this year.

KIDSTOCK® is part of the Belleayre Music Festival that takes place on the grounds of Belleayre Mountain. For more information please visit www.belleayremusic.org. Tickets for other music festival events can be purchased at Ticketmaster.

CANINE STAR FROM SEX AND THE CITY MOVIE AT SUPER PET EXPO

Suffern, NY, October 31, 2008 –Gidget, the scene-stealing New Yorkie who played Baby, Samantha’s dog in this summer’s Sex and the City movie, will appear at two upcoming Super Pet Expo’s.  Super Pet Expo is a holiday shopping extravaganza and animal lover’s dream.

“Meet and Greet” Gidget on November 8 noon to 4 PM in Suffern, NY at Rockland Community College and November 15 noon to 4 PM at the New Jersey Convention & Exposition Center at Raritan Center, Edison, NJ.  Bring your camera.  Take a picture with Gidget and receive Gidget’s custom Pawtograph for a small donation.  Have fun, glam it up with Gidget, dress-up in fabulous sun glasses and boas (provided) so you can feel like a movie star for your photo opt!  Gidget’s person, Mary, will be happy to delight you with behind the scene movie Tails and, if we are lucky, Gidget may do a few tricks for us including the special trick she did in the movie!  Proceeds will benefit Tails of Hope Foundation which helps save the lives of pets diagnosed with treatable cancers.

As a melanoma cancer survivor, Gidget is featured in Tails of Hope Foundation’s new comparative medicine campaign, called “Gidget for Good™” and serves as Tails of Hope’s “Spokes Star” and “Dog of Hope”. 

Comparative medicine uses knowledge gained from the treatment of cancer in companion animals and people to help advance medicine for the good of both species. “Tails of Hope is a collaborative, pioneering effort among general and specialty veterinarians, experts in human medicine, and the public, each of whose roles is critical to making progress in combating dreaded diseases in both pets and people,” says Tails of Hope’s founding veterinarian Dr. Michele Steffey. “We invite you to join us in our efforts, so that together we can bring hope to companion animals and people suffering from these life-threatening diseases and to the families who love them.”

Gidget’s Super Pet appearances are being sponsored by Citizens Bank, Doggyspace, Friends of Snuffy, Super pet Expo and Words and Pictures. 

For more information and updates visit www.tailsofhopefoundation.org, Super Pet Expo www.superpetexpo.com/ or call 845-926-3478.  See you at Super Pet Expo!

At her newly redecorated apartment, a back-to-blonde Carrie got ready to throw a party.  When Samantha arrived, she rendered the girls speechless with her two new “pooches”- the one in her bag and the one around her middle.
“Did you ever think you’d see the day- me with a pooch?”
Kim Cattrall comments:  For the pooch scene, Patricia Field put me in these pants that were too tight at the waist, and the top was too tight on my arms, which made them look bigger.  With the shooting schedule the way it was, I couldn’t pull a Robert De Niro and actually gain weight.  – Amy Sohn from “Sex and the City“

…Gidget and I flew out to LA to shoot scenes with Kim on the beach in Malibu.  It was a great day of shooting although once between shots, Gidget took a runner for a seabird right into the water and needed some grooming.  During the shoot, Kim walked up and down the beach leading Gidget with the call of “treats treats” Kim was an excellent animal wrangler and constantlyreminded Gidget that she had “bisquits” in her hand until I cued Gidget off-camera.  At one point, Michael Patrick King (the director)  asked Kim “Why is your mouth always moving while you are walking?” And Kim replied “I’m telling Gidget that I have treats!”

Gidget on her Way to LA!

2007, Gidget landed her first major movie role in the upcoming blockbuster “Sex and the City” due out May 30^th of 2008.   We had a blast making the film and we can’t wait to see it!

Gidget

It’s a good thing she got her Mojo back as I found myself unemployed again.
