Denali and I want welcome all his new fans and send out a special Thank You to Rebecca Regnier, Justin Billau, and intern Lindsay with ABC Channel 13 News in Toledo, Ohio. After they finished working with Denali, I had them all pose with him for a photo. The best part is, Friday when we were watching the segment at my parents home and the story about Denali started, he ran up to the TV and started barking at himself… O’ Denali, I’m not sure if he knew that it was him or just another really good looking golden. I just love him. Have a great week everyone!!

Denali wants you to meet his new friend Barb, a volunteer in the gift shop at St Luke’s Hospital in Maumee, Ohio. The hospital is a brand new location to purchase your Denali The Dog cards. While I was stocking the card rack and chatting with Barb, I told her Denali was waiting in the Jeep for me. I asked her if she would pose with Denali in a photo to show off his new location. To my surprise, she said, “I have read and heard so much about him, it would be an honor.” I did not know what to say to her other than she made me feel really good. So, if you have a loved one in the hospital come down to the gift shop and give them a Denali The Dog card, it will be the best medicine they will get.

Denali and I want to thank everyone who came out and met us over the weekend. We both had a lot of fun. Denali loved running to the door every time it opened, hearing his name as fans walked in. Thankfully, his tail only knocked over 3 pieces of pottery that stayed intact as they hit the floor. But as soon as we got home, Denali marched over to his beddy, got into a comfortable position and took an afternoon siesta, which was well deserved. Have a great week everyone!

His name is Denali, he’s huggable and lovable. He would love to meet you and will be appearing (note, that sounds so official) Saturday December 4, at American Gallery from 11am to 1pm at 6600 Sylvania Ave in Sylvania, Ohio. Come out and purchase some holiday Denali cards, I’ll bring a few packs. This should be fun, but I’m a bit nervous. American Gallery is a local art gallery with many beautiful, one of a kind, fragile art pieces. I hope Denali remains calm and controls his tail while meeting all his fans. Have a fabulous holiday weekend, we hope to see you!

This past weekend Denali and I stopped at Barnes & Noble. While Denali patiently waited in the Jeep, I ran inside to purchase a copy of the Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan’s magazine, Cesar’s Way. In the little world of Denali The Dog, we made history. You’ll find in the Dec 2010-Jan 2011 edition of Cesar’s Way, on page 84, a story about us. This is our first national story and we are both excited. As I sprinted back to the Jeep with excitement in my voice, I showed the story to Denali as he eagerly tried to join me on my lap in the driver’s seat. After my complimentary facial, I talked Denali into posing for a photo with a few copies of the magazine. Check it out at bookstores nationwide!

Denali and I want to wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING! This weekend in Ohio, one of the most important football games of the season, the Ohio State Buckeyes vs Michgan Wolverines rival game, takes place. Denali and I are not huge sports fan, so to get him into the mood, I borrowed some gear from a friend and a cousin. Have a fabulous holiday weekend everyone and be safe!

Over the past few months I have received many request of people wanting to meet Denali. So, if you’re in Northwest Ohio on Saturday, December 4, you can check out Denali’s cards and have him autograph them.. well maybe not. But you can meet him at American Gallery in Sylvania, Ohio at 600 Sylvania, Ohio at 6600 Sylvania Ave from 11am to 1pm. Over the weekend Denali and I made a quick trip to the gallery. After exploring every inch of the gallery, Denali rested on the floor for a few minutes before greeting a few customers. I just love him!

While Denali and I were outside, one of the neighborhood boys came over in his Halloween costume and asked what Denali was going to be for Halloween. I told him, “Denali has the day off.” I asked him who he was, he said, “Cabrera.” I said, “Who?” He said, “Detroit Tigers, Miguel Cabrera.” “Ok,” I said. Then he gave me a lecture about Cabrera, which was interesting since he is a 6 years old. After my baseball lesson I decided to take a photo of him with Denali. Have a great week everyone!

I’d like to thank the Toledo Blade for running the fabulous Sunday story about Denali and I. Most of all, I want to give a special “Thank You” to Chief Photographer Dave Zapotosky, Features Editor Rod Lockwood, and the one and only Jeremy Wadsworth (note: he’s the one getting the kiss) for the work they did. It was exciting to walk to the newspaper box with Denali and purchase the paper!

Long live the newspaper!

Denali and I set a new record last night a sold $140.00 worth of Denali The Dog greeting cards during a meet and greet from 6 to 9pm at Biddle Gallery in Wyandotte, MI. All proceeds from the card sales were donated to Wyandotte’s WAG’s Animal Rescue. I want to send a special Thank You to Karen Thomas owner of Biddle Gallery for letting us spend the evening with her. Denali also wants to thank everyone for the massages and belly rubs. Have a great weekend!
