A
lonnngggg story, but we were contacted by
WTBS to see if our family wanted to participate in a dog-themed Movie-and-a-Makeover. We didn't know anything about this program, so we went to their website and did some research. The
MMO show airs Saturdays at 11 am and shows a room make-over in
conjunction with a movie. The makeovers that we saw online were awesome so we jumped at the chance to participate.
Wellllll..fast forward to the present day: Since the downturn in the economy, their makeovers have turned into product-placement makeovers. Fourteen people descended on our house for close to 12 hours last week to film commercials for dog-related products, anywhere from Purina food products to a dog door. Our make-over? A dog door. Yep....a dog door.
Even though we didn't get a 10K makeover, we had a GREAT time and I got to pick the designer's brain about paint colors for our walls (which saved me having to hire---and pay--- a designer to come out to the house this summer to pick colors).
This was the scene while they were trying to shoot a commercial for the dog-food. Turner people flew in from NEW YORK for this shoot...it was surreal. Forteen people to film a dog food commercial?!?
One of the TBS people arranging the dog-food just-so for the shoot. This took about an hour. I am not kidding. An HOUR.
Ellie reading to the on-camera designer, Brian. Brian and his partner want kids in the near future super-bad so Brian couldn't get enough of ours. Ellie has a grape in her mouth...hence the bulge in her cheek.
Cosmo enjoying some of the perks given to us by TBS....
Ellie is hands-down the happiest child I have ever (EVER) met...so this is just another ordinary day of happiness for her! I have no words that are strong enough to describe the joy that she brings our family every single day. It is hard to believe that she has only been a part of this family for nine months....it's hard to remember what life was like before Ellie. 
Bringing our sled---okay, a trashcan lid---out of the basement to take a ride. Note: Our new dog-door is in the background...that story is in another post.
Ready?
You betcha!
Total happiness.
