Likes: Very people oriented. Pita loves to be fed with a fork. Pita will almost always during a walk; stop to smell the flowers on her path. She truly enjoys flower aromas. Loves to chase skateboards, bikes & squirrels. Must sleep on the bed and cuddle!
Pet-Peeves: loud noise
Favorite Toy: large stuffed Pikachu & dad...especially Jake...loves to lick him to pieces!
Favorite Food: MERRICK's All Natural Gourmet & CALIFORNIA NATURAL kibbles. AND, Bob cooks boneless chicken breasts/thighs just for me & I love carrots, strawberries, avocados and gourmet steak everytime we go to restaurants. I love to eat daddy's eggs and toast.
Favorite Walk: Everywhere. Most favorite place is the beach. Pita loves to dig a hole at the shoreline, lay in it and play tag with the waves.
Best Tricks: Loves watching the world through mirrors. Pita has quite a selection of mirrors to choose from throughout the house and always lays in spots wherein she can see our bed, kitchen area, front door through mirrors in different rooms. Most unusual trait!
Arrival Story: Thirteen years ago (1996), PITA was a rescue; or should I say; she adopted me. When I met her, I took her leash to walk her. She immediately tangled the leash around my legs and plopped herself down on my feet and began to smile and pant! That was it! I belonged to her! I was adopted by (renamed - PITA ).
Bio: Pita is mascot and inspiration for our non profit 501c3; People In The Arts Foundation, Inc. (Pita Foundation) The website is currently undergoing a face lift and mission statement re assignment AS WE ARE TRANSITIONING OUR MISSION STATEMENT TO WORK MORE EXTENSIVELY WITH ANIMAL RIGHTS, RESCUE AND FOSTERING. Making a donation to this non profit will assure that films of relevence to our society will be a matter OF FACT TODAY and not lost in the backpages of yesterday! Feel free to contact us regarding any donation inquiries and we shall be happy to discuss our mission and how you can contribute and be a part of our endeavors! Our dog PITA, works as a Service Animal and is a natural cure for all who come into contact with her. PITA seems to have an ability by her presence, to change and transfer negative energy into something positive. As the guardian of this very unique creature, I can attest to her natural/holistic influences on the lives she has touched from children to seniors. Our lives belong to her whims. I do not believe in magic; however, I do believe in the power of love and physical reinforcement. This unique animal has the ability to make anyone in contact with her make their situation better and easier by virtue of her contact with the individual. THIS Dog, PITA, is a unique creature ~ and a "God Send". PITA has been instrumental in bringing children out of severe depression, given seniors a reason to smile again; and effective in her pre warning abilities with heart patients. Pita has very recently, November 2007 gone 90% deaf. Yet she continues to do her job and I believe her other senses were heightened as a result of this. She is to be loved and admired forever. Only God truly knows how much our Pita is loved and respected!

The Last Forum I Posted In: Have you ever ate your dogs food
Special Skill/Ability: About six months after PITA acquired me, it came to my attention that she got distressed when around a human about to undergo angina/heart attack. She was consistent in this. She was certified by the State of California as an Assistance Dog. And just for good measure, on August 3, 2007 Pita was evaluated by the American Kennel Club and received her Canine Good Citizen Certificate and tag. We are very proud parents of Pita!
Travel: Because of her certification, PITA travels on planes, trains etc. She goes to the opera, movie & studio sets, restaurants; everywhere. The public is certainly getting an education in Service Animals due to her presence all over LA and her travels.
NEW ARTIST: I just have to bark at everyone about my new DOGGIE- pal JESSIE and her daddy - JARED. Jared is an exceptionally gifted artist and has just finished an OIL PORTRAIT of me! Wow...you can check out his incredible work at www.jaredseff.com Can I get more famous than this? Jared, and his dog Jessie supervising, paints people and pet portraits. Even PAUL McCARTNEY and PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON got their portraits done by Jared! I am humbled! Barks and Paws to everyone...look for MY portrait by Jared in my Photo Gallery. WOW! When your parents decide to get YOUR portrait done by JARED, be sure to tell him - PITA sent you - (www.jaredseff.com) Remember, a portion of the proceeds from each portrait go to Animal Rescue funding a project of PITA Foundation.
MY GUESTBOOK:
My Chow Badge:
MY message to ALL song..Take a Listen...:
A Christmas Message from our hearts!:
MY new SISTER: A few days ago, my dads and I went to the Harbor Shelter in San Pedro, California and through a friend, found the most wonderful, loving older Chow Chow/German Shepard mix one could ever imagine. I am sorry for whoever abandoned her but we are thrilled that she was held off the REDLIST for euthanization as she is just a brilliant, loving dog that is the perfect companion and friend for our Pita and ourselves. We have torn up our Christmas list as we got what no one could ever give us...the Gift of Life through a tremendous 4 legged creature who absolutely abounds in love! Our message to all is: Adopt! It will fill your heart more than any thing on this earth! Happy Holidays, Bob, Jake, Pita and our newest family member, LAYLA!
And we thought Bush had a problem! Boy! We had quite a desert storm ourselves outhere. The desert which gets about 5 inches of rain per year got it all in 4 days of severe weather. We did not have a good time walking out and doing our business. However, daddy DID have raincoats for us so we were kind of dry except our footies got wet. We actually got snow out here in Palm Springs. I think that Jake got some shots that are on Lalo's page. We did have a good time just rustling around and Bob and Jake threw some snowballs at us. They missed but Lalo had the most fun running like a mad dog.
Speaking of mad dogs, this evening we went for our walk and there was a coyote looking at me. I stayed calm and daddy was scared because we did not have any protection. But the coyote ran off and we went home quickly. That is the last time that daddy will not have protection. He said we will buy Trojans or baseball bats or whatever it takes to protect us. anyway, love from me and us to all of you!
It has been quite some time since daddy took dictation from me for my page as we wanted to give my brother LALO some air time as well.
I have been fabulous. Daddy had to go to Minnesota in early December for his moms funeral and then came home and we spent a somber December together. However by Christmas the mood had changed to lighter and brighter and we of course take all the credit for that! Lalo and me just kept hounding daddy till he started to smile and take us places again and we had a wonderful Christmas together with both dads.
January rolled in and Daddy had a birthday and thanks to all for his birthday greetings. Made him feel loved and fuzzy!
Jacob has been very supportive and working hard on his Marketing endeavors and Bob is doing his thing as well. We DO spend a lot of time together because Jacob FIRED his boss and started his own business! Hooray for him. We are proud of him and the risk he took doing that in this current economy. We know all about it. Daddy bitches all the time how people are unemployed and food packages and contents are shrinking while the price keeps rising. He is right you know if you take a look at the stuff you buy including doggy food.
We have had absolutely wonderful weather out here in the desert averaging about 70 degrees but that is coming to a fast stop tonight. California is in for a series of rain storms. We need it badly. I will NOT like going out in the rain but you gotta do what you gotta do! The desert is expected to get over 3 inches of rain. My poor little paws are going to get wet - and I just had my nails done!
Daddy's friend gave him some coasters for his birthday and the coasters are absolutely perfect for daddy and friends. They say: "I FEEL SORRY FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T DRINK, WHEN THEY WAKE UP IN THE MORNING THAT'S AS GOOD AS THEY ARE GOING TO FEEL ALL DAY." It was a quote from Frank Sinatra back in the day when they were the Rat Pack.
Bob got a kick out of it! So anyway, this week is supposed to be stormy all week so we went shopping today and got a pile of groceries, doggy food and other staples such as liquor (just kidding).
We had lunch outside today in Palm Springs at Bad Ass Coffee Cafe and it is very good. The lady who runs it gave us tons of free ham slices and of course we ate it all. So this evening we are going to hang out and watch the much awaited "24" TV show, Bob and Jake's all time favorite and we will lay with them and enjoy being close.
So that is about it. If you want to see some more recent pictures of us, probably Lalo's page has that but we will add more in a few days. Gotta go for now and chow chow chow to everyone! Love Pita and family
We got up today extra early and took a walk down to the doggie park and had some fun wtching Lalo and my dads chasing tennis balls while I supervised naturally. After that we took in some sunshine and just spent some time cruising around Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage. Daddy took some pictures of the moon in the desert and it really looks cool. He might put them up later but we are putting up the picture of daddy, me and Lalo just chilling at the Oasis in Palm Springs. The sign behind my daddy says it all and captures the day perfectly. It is picture number 2 (I think).
Jake got daddy a super cool card with some really nice words from his heart and is cooking a special dinner for Bob. We all four spent the day together exclusively without any calls or things. We wanted it to be just our day together. It all went well. Jacob is feeling good today after yesterday's illness. Daddy gave him a Xanax that knocked him completely out last night. That allowed his body to relax, sleep heavily and sweat out all the bad stuff. All is good!
For dinner, Jake is making Tuna Steaks and his famous green bean casserole and other things. Afterwards we will just lay around and enjoy each others company and do a lot of nothing. It is a day to reflect and know where the love is!
I see some of you sent daddy a birthday greeting. Hey Pita in Texas, thanks for the cake and cupcake. Yummy yummy!
We have been barking about Dogster to everyone and hoping that everyone we speak to signs up on it. It is the most awesome site.
Oh and lastly, Lalo, me, Bob and Jake are going to start doing some time working with the GUIDE DOGS OF THE DESERT organization. They do things that are outstanding and things we believe in.
So, off to dinner and a movie plus a lot of loving. (We hope you like our Just chillin picture!
