Who's in the Doghouse with Sasha?

JanMon 2010 Filed in: In the Doghouse with Sasha

Meet: Lulu
Background: A Maltipoo! Cross between a maltese and poodle!
Lives: Mineola, NY
Age: 11 months old

Sasha: You have a cute name Lulu. Where did it come from?
Lulu: Not sure, but my real name is Lucinda, but everyone calls me Lulu except when I’m bad. Then it gets confusing because my mom starts calling me Lucy and Dad starts calling Gilly (from SNL).
S: I’m sure it’s all out of love.
L: It’s obvious Mom (Barbara) really loves me, but my Dad (Ben), I’m not so sure. I overheard him telling my mom that I should be on Prozac.
S: Really? How come?
L: Apparently, I’m always getting in trouble, but what’s wrong with chewing on what I like? Also, I tend to bark and bite big dogs [laughs].
S: They call that the Napoleon complex and that’s exactly why we’re doing a phone interview. Maybe you just need to come out to the city to get all that energy out.
L: I keep trying to sneak out, but I always get caught. My parents think I’m still too young. They think you guys will be a bad influence on me.
S: More like the other way around. Does anything calm you down?
L: Scratching my belly!
What about shopping? Where do you go?
L: Petco. It’s the only one I know. But I heard there’s a place called The Pet Company in Garden City which close by.
S: Favorite food?
L: I like the soft Wellness canned food that Mommy gives me twice a week, then I get the dry food on the other meals.

Who's in the Doghouse with Sasha? Jock

JanMon 2010 Filed in: In the Doghouse with Sasha

Meet: Jock like "Jacques Cousteau" not like jock strap! It's Dutch.
Background: Maltese Yorkie mix
Lives: Astoria with his cat brother, Gatsby, and snake sister, Cindy.
Age: Almost two

Sasha: So handsome - you live in Astoria. How’s it going so far?
Jock: Great! I hang out at home and walk the streets of Astoria with my Mom. My Dad works a lot, so I don’t get to see him as often as I’d like, but when he comes home, I’m ready for him!

S: Do you have a favorite dog park in the area? Where do you hang out?
J: Sometimes we go to the dog park next to Astoria Park or Socrates Sculpture Park, where I can be off my leash and play with other neighborhood dogs. Got my eye on this Great Dane, Lola!

S: A little big for you, don’t you think?
J: What are you sayin’? I ain’t got what it takes?

S: I’m a jealous gal, that’s all. Let’s move on. How about pet stores in the area?
J: I like PETCO and Yayoi's Pet Star on 34th Ave. here in Astoria.

S: Favorite food?
J: Wellness Brand in the purple bag. I like my brother’s cat food too, so Mommy has to keep it up high so I don't eat it.

S: What’s your favorite spot to get scratched?
J: Oooh, my arm pits!

S: Anything else you want to share with me?
J: If things don’t work out with Lola, can I call you?
S: We’ll see.
