Bocker's 2005 Year In Review
Boy, did I have an exciting 2005 - not bad for a two year old!!! No way I
could list everything....but here are some highights..
First I want to thank my mommy and daddy for giving me so much love and so
many fun times throughout the year. I also want to thank my grandma
and grandpa, Nancy and Steve of
Doodlesville, where I was born. They are still a very important part of
my life and knowing that they love me and care about me really makes me feel
special. I also want to thank my agent, Nancy of
All Tame Animals, in NYC, and my
special showbiz trainer, John Monteleone. For my first year in "show
biz", it was pretty exciting. I made a lot of new friends along the
way and had so much fun with my Paw Park buddies where I live (specially my
gal friend, Sophie).
A special message of love to all our friends who have gone onto the Rainbow Bridge - my "sister" Knicki too - we miss you but know you are all still with us.
I'm so glad I've had so many visitors to my website and that everyone
loves my theme song - thanks to my very special daddy for that and to my
Uncle Frank Vento who helped put it all together. I love hearing from
so many friends and have some very special friends who hang in there with me
all the time!!! You know who you are. I've got friends all over the world
and it's so cool keeping in touch with them. I had a playdate with my
friend Pooka and hope to get together with Layla soon. Wish I could
meet all my friends like Kelsey, Maggie, Bisbee, Ratchet - just to name a
few. I love hearing from my brothers and sisters too...so nice to keep tabs
on the family. We are a good looking bunch of "doods"!
My mom and dad took me everywhere with them. I got to go the the
Hamptons a few times - what fun to walk on the beach and to stay with Uncle
Bruce and Aunt Marilyn. I appeared on stage with my daddy and the
Peter Duchin Orchestra and also dressed up as Santadoodle for a concert with
my daddy and the Bock and Blu Orchestra...got to be on stage with my best
friend for life, Rachel.
I enjoyed walks around my neighborhood - loved waiting for the school bus in
the morning with my friends, Katie and Kathryn. They made me happy
when I saw them wearing their Bocker sweatshirts to school!!!
In April I was lucky enough to do my first print ad gig for Tommy Hilfiger. Was so cool to see me in magazines and in their television commercial. It was hard work but it was fun. Glad I could bring mommy and daddy along with me too.
In June I did a photo shoot for Carpet One and in July for Avanti Greeting cards. September was a fun shoot (in the rain) for Ralph Lauren's Polo.com. Did the year end right with my appearance on Good Morning America in December. In between all this, I was featured on DogBreed Info website, calendars and in books on labradoodles. Not all bad....
I've even got a store on Cafe Press with Bocker merchandise - if you haven't been there yet, please visit - got some cool Bocker and doodle stuff. Great for gifts...I know there were some items that were special Christmas gifts.
OK, sure we'll think of more stuff to add to this page but for now...on to 2006 - wonder what kind of year it will be. I wish all my friends and their families the best of everything for the coming year. Let's keep having fun...
Woofs and licks,
your pal,
BOCKER
