The Puppy Show


Well, here I am- back on tour!


We opened this week in Minneapolis, MN. The cast and crew have been rehearsing for over a month, so I came in a little late in the game. There are 78 of us traveling together, and I think I know about 15 peoples names. I have a looooonng way to go in the "meeting friends" department!


The show is fantastic. There are 15 live dogs that (briefly) appear on stage, and the kids just go crazy over the whole thing. I haven't actually MET the dogs yet, and I really don't know when I will. There are strict rules about where they are when, who is around them, etc. They are in a large tent all day, and sleep on a custom tour bus at night. Two trainers are with them at all times. I was a little concerned about PETA, but I guess they are OK with it, and actually are showing support for the show, which is cool.


Selling merch for this show is so different that being on Superstar. There are so many cute little kids in the lobby that you can't help but just smile! They bring their stuffed animals, wear their polka dots- I think I'm going to keep a camera with me in the lobby. Check out what I saw tonight- too cute!
