Rayless's First Flight
Today is literally day 1 of my National Media Tour. I didn’t sleep very well the night before but regardless I did fall asleep and with a gigantic smile on my face! I woke up bright and early with a ton of “to do’s” on my list, including prepping Rayless for her very first flight ever!
Once we arrived at the airport everyone was so excited to see that I had a beautiful puppy with me and treated her and I both very well with prompt service and I was taken immediately to the front of the line. Through out the entire check in process the hardest part was watching two men wheel Rayless through a door and behind the scenes knowing I wouldn’t be seeing her again for almost 3 hours. While my heart broke just a little, I knew she was in great hands!
After enjoying a fantastic burger and fries, I boarded the plane and was whisked away to West Hollywood to begin the first city tour among a long list of others.
Thursday
This is the day for all of my media training and some shopping as well with the girls from the PR Agency that hired me. I brought Rayless, of course, and we headed out to Santa Monica in the late morning. Parking is absolutely crazy in LA and sometimes not even a reality!
Beverly Hills-West Hollywood
Once the long eight-hour day of training was over, new yoga outfits were bought and stowed away in the back seat; Rayless and I began our freeway journey back to the hotel. I was hoping to get some rest before running off to another meeting, but the time constraints were pretty tight! My pup and I both grabbed a quick drink and loaded back up in the car and headed to Hollywood to meet with a producer regarding the possibility of a new reality show. This whole day was fast paced, full of non-stop events and as always so much fun!
Bedtime came very early, as the next morning would be dedicated to two TV segments and again lots of travel!
Friday
Why does the alarm have to sound what seems like right after you close your eyes the night before?! I popped out of bed, and while still exhausted from the previous two days was so excited to get back in front of the camera!
CBS Studios
My PR Rep met me in the hotel lobby and greeted me with a huge smile and even bigger cappuccino. We had the valet pull up my fabulous rental car and took off to the first segment filmed on KTLA. The set ended up being outside and the weather was perfect! The main hostess from the Millionaire Matchmaker and Mel B from the Spice Girls were also guests that day so it made the entire situation even more surreal and exciting! The second segment was a CA affiliate on CBS. I did a table and chairs set with a super nice anchorwoman and both segments had dogs available for adoption, which was the most important part. I really do hope all three of the puppies I show cased find new homes and soon!
Saturday
Homeward bound!! The LAX Airport was absolutely horrid and hectic, Rayless and I managed to make our way through the madness and I finally got onto the plane. For more on Yoga4dogs click here!
