 Birthday time!!!  Got a really great message from good friends from the U.K.  Gemma, Muppet and Fudge..
Thanks for being special pals..
Wish I was there to take a swim with you!
Thanks to everyone for the wonderful birthday messages!

Spent a week in Brooklyn shooting a short film about a couple moving from Brooklyn to the west coast and the dilemma…should they and can they take the dog (Me). A week of long days and nights, but it was fun and I made some very nice new friends. My co-star is a terrific actor, Rider Strong, who many of you may remember from tv’s “Boy Meets World”.  Think we made a great team. Maybe it will win a film festival award..that would be very exciting.  I actually taught Rider my famous "Bocker head-tilt!" 

Also will have to try to sneak in to see “Eat Pray Love” when it comes out in August. Was lucky enough to be on set with Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt (one of the producers) while we were filming the scene in Cold Spring Harbor, NY.

 I am so very  excited to have been chosen to be special guest at the 7th Annual Albany Autism Society's Walk & 5K Run.  This is a cause that is very important to me. Hope lots of my friends will join Team Bocker and walk with us on September 12 at Central Park In Schenectady. You can join our team...even as a virtual walker!  If you can, it would be great if you could sponsor me or make a donation through my Team Bocker page at http://www.firstgiving.com/teambocker.

 Thanks to everyone who came out to support Animal Care and Control at the fundraiser organized by Andy Troy and hosted by my good friend, Maria Milito of Q104-FM. Always get special hugs and kisses from her!

It was held at the BLVD in NYC and we also met the Tall Outstanding Women...They said I was a Tall Outstanding Doodle!

Busy day Wednesday, May 19th!!!   I've been invited to take part in a live virtual book reading in NYC to celebrate the release of The Alpo Real Dogs Eat Meat Handbook, the first-ever how-to manual to help dogs be dogs again, written from a dog's perspective from the pawthors own experiences.  During the event, Actor, TV star, and "real" dog owner, Taye Diggs, will read excerpts from the book to a group of us dogs, gathered around him to hear the inspiring "tails".

Also, on Saturday May 22, I'll be taking part in the NY Pet Expo...a real exciting event in NYC Pet Show at the Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street, NYC.. for info go to:  http://nycpetshow.com .  My good friends from PET-A-POTTY are offering $5 off on tickets if you use the code: PETAPOTTY when ordering your tickets.

 Also on Saturday, May 22, I'll be making my way over to Adoptapalooza at Washington Square Park in NYC. This is a free, fun-filled NYC community event for the whole family...will be great if we can get some forever homes for the dogs and cats that will be up for adoption too!!

 Just a little teaser for now but I am so happy that I'll be working with some really great new friends and will filming a Brooklyn based independent short film. Pretty cool.... 

Saw the trailer for Eat Pray Love...didn't make it into the trailer, but I did see a tight shot of the family barbeque scene that I'm in....can't wait until the movie comes out in August!!!  Can I get a private screening? or maybe sneak into the theater??  We'll see. Would be nice to get invited to the premiere with my co-star, Amanda Henderson, who plays Julia Roberts' niece in the movie.

Bocker's Buddies !! Join now.
New.. We are forming Bocker's Buddies.... we are starting this through Doodle Kisses and now expanded to Bocker's Doodleland...The purpose of this group will be to highlight and publicize all the good that doodles across the country are doing working as therapy dogs;  either visiting hospitals, nursing home or working in schools are reading tutors.  The main focus will be experiences, stories and photos showing how  Bocker’s Buddies have impacted the areas in which they live. Through Bocker’s celebrity, and his being, as some of his friends call him, Ambassador to all Doodles, we would hope to bring attention on a national scale and also introduce this kind of help into other areas that would benefit those in need.

We will be having a contest to create a slogan for this group....
Bocker’s Buddies….love through the wag of a tail.
 

Check out me and my HOWLween Friends...some cool pics!!!
