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!

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 so DOCTOR Bob is going to self administer his meds. We already did our walks for the night. That was not very pleasant for Bob as he was all wrapped up and look like Boris Karloff in THE MUMMY. He was walking a little slower due to his muscular aches and pains BUT, now will be the interesting part. He has checked his phones and e mails, and is about to administer his final solution medication for the night.
NO scotch. (He realized it made him too lazy)
So the prescription for the night is:
One double shot of HOT cognac
A half glass of water with two alka seltzers
One shot of Nyquil cold and flu
1000 MG of Vitamin C
1 B-100 Tablet
2 aspirin
A bottle of 12 ounce water
A cup of chicken soup with one chopped up chicken breast and horseradish sauce
A bowl of Special K Cereal with Blueberries
Well if this don't kill him, it certainly will fill him up and he should be out in half an hour.
It is about 20 minutes to his take it all time.
AND he decided not to sleep on the sofa. He made a bed on the floor next to us so we can sleep with him tonight. Lots of pillows, blankets, and warm things. He is softer than Snuggles right now. We will see how this works out in the morning.
Love to all.....Pita, always at Bob's side
Since Bob got his piggy flu, he has slept for periods of 15 hours and sweated out a ton of liquid. He has not forgotten us though Lalo had an accident in the house. All is forgiven of course. It was not Lalo's fault only that Bob was too ill to take him out. I have been a very good doggy and waited patiently by his bed and he did manage to get up and take me out and Lalo too. BUT, Lalo obviously needed more out time. We did clean up and all is good and Lalo is loved as always.
Daddy is wrapping himself up in a lot of clothing and blankets, is going to have a scotch and drink a lot of nyquil and alka seltzer and hopefully knock this out by tomorrow as we do have business to take care of which requires a drive out to Hollywood.
Daddy is grumpy as hell today and sounds even worse. We hope that he is better tomorrow because we are getting nutty being inside all day long.
Jacob called a few times to check on everything and he knows that all is relatively ok over here.
We will check e mails as daddy is going to spend the night on the sofa tonight so that we can all be closer together. We will be within rubbing distance of Bob. I think he is beginning to sweat again cause we just heard him say damn it again. So, I think we are going to go out for a short walk again and then off to bed.
We love you guys and appreciate your support and words of encouragement. Always your friends, Pita, Lalo, and Bob
Over this past week or so, Bob and Jake have been talking and some serious changes have been going on for both of them individually and mutually. Jake has been talking to Bob a lot lately and Bob has been doing so as well with Jake. We do not know what is in the cards for now but hope that as suspect, Layla and Teddy had their paws in this situation. We are crossing our paws and watching to see the outcome.
First daddy got very sick with a heart attack and then he got that darn piggy flu. Even today he is a mess and has been trying to medicate the hell out of himself to stay healthy enough to deal with daily things.
We of course, have always and forever will be Bob's number One Priorities and he has made sure of that by no matter what, taking us for our walks, even though lately they have been shorter and slower. We have seen a few things that have endeared us to Jacob and he has shown another side of him that we have not seen in quite some time. Daddy was very pleased. In fact, Jake spent three days over at Bob's place in Palm Springs and they and we had some good times at the restaurants, on our walks and just laying around while they talked and tried to square things out. Daddy as you might have gathered, is a sentimental fool (or idiot), depends on how you look at things. But he is always for whatever makes Lalo and me happy and when Jacob was here, we were all over him and would not take no for an answer. He tossed us some leftovers and fed us secretly and daddy woke up to seeing Jake on the floor with us just messing around and having fun. Lalo just wags himself silly whenever he is around. I suppose there is something to that. I am being an elderly lady, am more subdued but do indeed show my joy at his being around.
After daddy got sick, Jake has been very attentive and has made sure that Bob was safe, secure and helped guard over him while he was in recovery. Also, since Bob got the Piggy flu, Jacob has been very caring and made sure that he did not stress out and took us out for all of our needs.
I heard them talking about possibly giving another shot at living together. Trust Lalo and ME, it would give us no greater pleasure than to have our original two dads back again. They do get along so well when it comes down to it.
Jake is having to make a few life changing decisions and came to Bob for advise. I suppose that after all is said and done, he trusts Bob's judgment and they worked on that together to resolve some very serious issues that could reflect on them both.
Bob is being very very cautious with exposing himself to another let down and yet, he cannot help himself and we see that he is most animated and happy when Jake is around. We are as well. It makes Jake smile again and Bob watches sometimes without anyone noticing and smiles as well.
This will be a tough and touchy road and we hope that it comes to a wonderful story book type of ending. It will mean sacrifices for both of them and mean that we will again have to decide who to sleep with and play with more....decisions, decisions.
We will certainly keep everyone posted. Jacob should just about now be arriving back in West Hollywood so we will be awaiting his call to make sure that he got home safe and sound.
Daddy is going to put on a pile of sweaters, blankets, drink a few scotches and take his medications and hopefully can be up and about again within a day or so.
He is such a grouch when he isn't feeling well. We can understand. He said it even hurts to open his eyes.
So from Lalo, me, my two angels in Heaven; Layla and Teddy, let us hope that this situation draws to a happy and wonderful life type of ending. We are not holding our breath this time, but still wishing for all the goodness that was once upon a time shared to be remembered and worked on! Love Pita and family
