Sunday
This is the latest flight I have taken out of town so far on my National Tour. By the time I landed in Portland it was already getting dark and starting to get VERY cold! I live in an area where seasons don’t happen and even as we speak it is mid November and almost 80 degrees outside, so when I looked out the plane window and saw huge tress in gold, oranges and reds I got so excited to experience a true Fall! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking.
That evening I focused on going to the local PETCO and picking up the props I needed for the show I would be on the following morning. The store I pulled up to was nestled on top of a small hill and as usual the staff were very friendly and helpful. Bundled up and trying to stay as warm as possible, I loaded up my rental car and headed to my fantastic hotel. I was taken by surprise when the hotel clerk stated I would be in the Executive Suite and practically skipped my way to the room door! I decided to have a relaxing night of room service, a movie and going over my talking points so that I would be well rested and prepared in the morning.
Monday
Waking up bright and early, I got ready and left the hotel to get to my segment on the ABC affiliate in Portland. I was doing a pre recorded set and had a full six minutes! Six minutes on a TV segment is almost twice as long as I would normally have on air. I was actually a little bit nervous with so much space to fill. I was helping a cute little Beagle mix named Freeta to try and get adopted while working with her on the Yoga4Dogs portion of my set. The first four minutes went off with out a hitch, and then came the yoga with my hyper little helper.
Freeta was super excited to be around so many people and regardless of how hard I tried every couple of seconds she was leaping, not jumping, but LEAPING out of my arms to run off the set ha ha!! I started laughing because it was just too cute and too perfect, especially considering I was already nervous that morning… We ended my piece with not only me, but also the host and the crew around us, all in stitches at this silly little dog! It was such a fun morning; I truly do hope Freeta found a good and active home.
