Hello Mr. Workman
Mr. Workman?????? Hello??? Hello???? are you out there?
Hi:
Perhaps you haven't met me, but I am Princess Daisy. I have appeared on ALL of the advertising material my Mom has ever used (since forever), I have been in Washingtonian Magazine, I had a FULL page spread in Bark Magazine (which in case you don't know is like Vanity Fair for The Dog World) and I have a full page in Northern Virginia Magazine, naming my Mom's company THE VERY BEST!
Now, lets talk about your Calendar Business. O.K?
It goes without saying that I am a bit upset, not just for myself, but for my Baby "Brother" Bob, who is dumb as a stump but is the most beatiful Pit Bull anyone has ever seen. Take a good look, please. Thanks.
O.K. that is Bob. So you have obviously missed the boat in not including him in your 2009 calendar photos.
Our wonderful friend who is probably the greatest Photo Taking Person of Dogs in the Entire World, tells us that she has not one, not two, but 12 pages in your 2009 calendar. Not to take anything away from our Miss Bev, but she took the above photo. Why was this not chosen? Who was on your choosing panel?
Now lets move on to me. The Princess. Just look at this. This is only one of the photos of me taken by my very best friend in the entire world, Bev Hollis If you would like to see some more photo graphs of me that will take your breathe away and make you want to cry because they are so beautiful, go visit my friend at Bev's Wonderful Photos
So here is the way I feel about you and your calendars right about now:
I'm sure you understand my distress. If I was just any old BullDog it would be a whole different story. But I am The Princess, Daisy, me. Important person you should want to know. I'm like the Oprah of the dog world.
I have friends in high places too. I am a personal friend of a lot of people that are big time in the dog world.
I usually don't brag like this, cause I am very politically correct, and bragging isn't part of what I normally do. Well not all the time. But let me just tell you a few of my famous friends: Tracie Hotchner, of The Dog Bible and The Cat Bible fame, not to mention her two Radio Shows: Dog Talk and Cat Chat, and then of course Mr. Norman of Wonderful Wagatha's, the best dog biscuits on the planet earth. And did you know that I know Mr. Pete Bethune the Captain of the Earthrace? If I can manage to get rid of my pesky heart turmor, I'm going on his boat. And what about Danamarie Hosler? Do you, Mr. Workman, own a Knitamil? I thought not.
In closing, I would appreciate a reply from you in the very near future. I'd like some assurance that my "brother", Bob and I will be featured in the 2010 calendar. I am sure that there is plenty of time to make that happen. And by the way, I will be making the final decision on my Mom's company, Everything & The Dog, LLC purchasing at least 85 of your calendars for gifts to all of our sitters.
Keep that in mind, Mr. Workman. The jury is still out. We could buy them all a mechanical stuffed dog, like we did one year. That wasn't very successful, but trust me, we have plenty of dead frogs around here too.
In parting, Remember me. The Princess.
Oh, and did I tell you that I can play the "I Am Dying" card, if I want to.
Do you want me to pull that one on you, Mr. Workman? Do you want to go to your next calendar making decision meeting, knowing that you overlooked Bob and Daisy in Leesburg, Virginia?
Think about it. Thanks.
To my fans: Please buy the Workman Dog, Page a Day Calendar for 2009 in spite of the fact that Bob and Daisy did not appear. Many, many of our friends are in the calendar, and in spite of Mr. Workman, we absolutly love our Miss Bev Hollis and thank her for always taking the very best pictures, ever in the whole world.
Love and Licks.
Daisy

Daisy Darling - While I certainly understand your frustration at bring passed over by lesser beings for the calendar, you simply CANNOT have a public hissy-fit over it. Do you think that Angelina Jolie had a public meltdown and berated casting agents and studio heads when they picked someone other than her to start in a movie. Of course not - she simply went out and found an even better movie to be in and that is how she got her revenge (she also did a bunch of pretty wild over-the-top stuff and stole the husband of America's Sweetheart right out from under her, but that is another story). So follow the lead of other divas who have overcome those unfortunate showbiz incidents where the part went to somebody less beautiful or talented than they believed themselves to be. Nobody likes a petulant Diva - Divas are hard enogu to take without them having little tantrums about not being The Chosen One. So don't get mad, get even: find yourself someone looking for a Diva Bulldog for a billboard in Times Square, NYC, for instance. Or a gorgeous bulldog to be painted on the side of the Goodyear blimp during the Superbowl. After all, Peter Workman is a brilliant publisher but let's keep this in perspective: at the end of the day, it's only a (disposable) calendar. You are worthy of a public venue of lasting value, like those 4 presidents carved into the mountain. Now THAT'S what I'm talking about...thing big, Daisy Girl, think really big. It comes naturally to you, anyway.

Priceless blog entry! Loved every dog moment of it! Came over from Bev's site after she announced the image acceptance! You now have a new fan to your blog! ?Maybe Mr. Workman should make a calendar JUST of Daisy and Bob!
Thank you so much, Ms. Toni. I am sorry that we did not answer your comment much earlier, but as you now know our Princess Daisy crossed on The Rainbow Bridge on August 18 and so, me, Bob, has to do a lot of catching up. Unfortunately, I am not always sure what exactly I am catching, but I am trying.
It is very hard to be like Daisy.
Love,
Bob

My Darling Daisy,
I know we just met yesterday (via your blog), but I feel as if I have known you a lifetime. Patti, just wrote me and explained that you have gone over the "Rainbow Bridge". My sweet, darling Daisy, I know your family is grieving your loss, but we, too, feel their pain. We want you to know that we will NEVER forget you; you were such a beautiful Princess. We are very sad today.
Love & Kisses and Slobbers & Licks,
Vicki, Blazer & Kimber
