The Tonight Show’s Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Gets a Whiff of Pepper & Tanky™
Making their national television debut, Pepper & Tanky™ made waves on a recent episode of The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien during a segment with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Triumph, the hilariously crude roving handpuppet reporter who started a feud with Eminem and got “up close and personal� with a slew of Westminster Dog Show competitors, got a kick out of Pepper & Tanky™ while visiting D.O.G. Pet Boutique in West Hollywood and even suggested his own ideas for the next fragrance. The video is below. It’s Triumph! What else can be said? (Other than “For me to poop on!�)
'Extra' Hooks Oprah and Her Pup Up!
Oprah Winfrey is known for the extravagant audience giveaways on her show, but "Extra" is turning the tables and letting Oprah get the gift! When Mario Lopez was in Chicago to interview Ms. Winfrey for the premiere of her talk show's 26th season, we showered her with goodies by giving her a monstrous puppy-themed gift basket!

The Heidi Chronicles, Chapter 44: A dog "in development" June 29, 2009 | 7:26 am This is Heidi. Last year, she was "discovered" in the park by a pet talent agency; since then, she has embarked on a one-dog quest to break into the business. This is her Hollywood story as chronicled by Diane Haithman. And this is her "head shot": That longing look was achieved by placing a biscuit just out of reach. Since signing up with Central Casting in early June -- seeking extra roles that include a talented German Shepherd -- Heidi and I have gotten no nibbles whatsoever from Hollywood. But our East Coast colleague Lorraine Goodman, who writes a column on animals and show biz for Examiner.com, tipped us off to an open casting call being held in Burbank for a TV reality show involving dogs. (By the way, congrats to Lorraine's terrier mix, Tiger, who has landed a gig on a shoe commercial. Read her column here). As is the case with many open casting calls for projects in development, no details were provided; dogs and unemployed actors don't ask questions; they come when called. The audition was not geographically desirable for Tiger, but Lorraine thought we might be intrigued. I applaud the professional courtesy I am observing in the working dog community. Whether Heidi can act is still an open question -- but no one could argue with the fact that she is real dog. Plus, the producers were particularly interested in rescue dogs like Heidi. We responded to the e-mail with photos and a recounting of the heart-tugging story of Heidi's rescue from a Texas storm drain. Almost immediately, we got an e-mail asking us to set up an audition appointment. We did. No matter what happened from this point forward, in my mind Heidi had scored a Hollywood coup: She was part of the process. She was in development. Last week, we showed up for our appointment at the Glassman Media offices in a modern structure on Barham Boulevard; company credits include "The Ex-Wives Club," "National Bingo Night" and the NBC hit "Average Joe in Hawaii." Heidi, an average dog from Studio City, loved riding the building's elevator. In response to "The Heidi Chronicles," the dog had received a sample of a new product, Pepper & Tanky Eau de Parfum for Dogs. Heidi's sample scent was Peaches n' Cream. I gave her a spritz for her audition. She smelled like dessert. Click link for rest of the article.

Constant Chatter's 2009 Holiday Gift Guide for Pets: Pepper & Tanky
Our little guy is NOT a fan of the bath. He’s also not a fan of the brush. He is sadly, a fan of sleeping tight and close even when he’s a bit past his prime and some might say stinky. Lucky for us, there’s Pepper and Tanky’s eau du perfume just for the smelly dogs in our life. Puppy Love is a personal favorite, but we’ll let you decide.
