Meet Lola From Madrid

Donna Mei-Ling Park and Harold were in Madrid on business recently. Near the Prado (they tell me that's a place with cool, old paintings), they met Lola. 

Isn't Lola cool?

Lola's younger than I am. It's good to be older and wiser. Sometimes.

Meet Donna. She Read My Story For You!

Donna Mei-Link Park read my White House Dog Tales story, which is now wending its way to The White House via Priority Mail. Hope it gets there before Easter! 

Donna is the super-excellent co-host of Canada's "Electric Playground." daily TV show. She does stories on everything from "Ratchet & Clank" in Dubrovnik to art galleries in Montreal.

She is cool. You can trust me, your White House Dog, on that one.

Woof! Buy My 'White House Dog Tales'

I am so excited, I want to climb a tree! Today, White House Dog Tales goes on sale! 

You can buy the MP3 at CD Baby. Some of the money goes to charity, too, like the World Wildlife Fund and Save The Children.

And, if you click the button above, you can get the actual CD at Paypal. I will burn a copy for you with my paws personally.

This is cause for celebration. Who wants some biscuits? Who wants to play Frisbee? I do, I do. I want to run around til I pant. I want to chase a cat! (But I'll control myself. I'm your White House dog, and I do have some manners, after all.) Woof!

Who Helped With My Rhyming Diary?

I had some help with putting together my rhyming diary.  Here's who helped out.

The writer is Harold Goldberg, an award-winning journalist who is a columnist for Boys’ Life and has written for Family Circle, Vanity Fair, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Wired, The New York Times Book Review, VH1 and many others. He is co-author of the best selling book My Life Among the Serial Killers. He is now working on a narrative history of video games called The Game Changers for Random House. He lives in New York City.

The poem is read by Donna Mei-Ling Park. After a stint with MTV Canada as a fashion correspondent, she has opted for cerebral media and now travels the world for the country's most popular video game lifestyle TV show, the Electric Playground. She is based in Montreal.

What Is 'White House Dog Tales'?

White House Dog Tales: The Very Personal Rhyming Diary of the White House Dog and the Mystery in the Fountain is a humorous and inspiring children’s audio book about the incoming White House dog. This fictional tale will appeal to anyone who’s a fan of dogs, the White House itself and the First Family.

The story surrounds me, an affable dog who can find things. While I become known around the White House for my ability, I have to admit I have an Achilles heel: I don’t like the water. When confronted with a life and death situation -- and a big mystery -- I have to face my fears. 

That’s the moral to the story: everyone can face their fears and do things they didn’t think possible. They just need to try. Woof!
