Wish Eddie luck -- Alaska Pet Idol - YorkieTalk.com Forums

alaskayorkie · 02-01-2008, 03:00 AM

I found out today that Eddie made the semifinals of Alaska Pet Idol 2008. That in itself is not a big deal. The first round was based on monetary votes, and I ponied up $50 myself to make sure he made it (funds benefit a rescue group).

But on Saturday, he goes head to head with 30-plus other animals! All but two are dogs. The top 10 make the finals.

We've got a pretty cool act worked out. I'll warm up with some tricks (sit, down, spin both ways, shake, high-five, crawl, etc.), then we'll go into a mini-agility course. He'll jump over a hand-held jump, weave through my legs, go through a 2-foot cat tunnel, then finish off by climbing up some doggie steps and shooting a basket through a funnel.

He's almost flawless at home, but I know he's going to get stage fright. When he shuts down, he refuses to do anything. So send your best wishes, YT, we'll need it.

To funny and so true.

Good Luck Eddie - I know it can be a little scary to be on stage but this is what you have always dreamed about - seeing your name in lights. All of us will be there for you, helping you through your every move. You might want to talk to Meaghan to see if she has any advise for your first premier. I wonder if puppy treats will come down from the ceiling instead of confetti when you win?

Eddie, picture everyone in the crowd naked! It will help with the stage fright.
