astrid Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 If you feel like tuning in to NBC on Saturday morning, you'll see a Well Trained Kid and her Well Trained Dog on the Today Show! We are all still quite stunned by the news-- You might remember that an article Molly wrote for the AKC Gazette last year when she was 12 was nominated for a Dog Writers Association of America award. Well, it seems that the Contest Chair of the Dog Writers Association of America, Sue Jeffries, is a friend of Frei's and in the course of discussions about the writing awards banquet, Sue mentioned to David that a kid was up for an award and also showing. I received a call from Frei's PR person asking that David had requested that Molly and Dani join him on Saturday morning on the Today Show. We are told she will be on sometime between 8:00 and 10:00 am on Saturday morning. In addition, she and her dog will be ringing the bell to close the NASDAQ on Friday afternoon. To say we are stunned is a COMPLETE. UNDERSTATEMENT. :svengo:We do NOT routinely engage in conversations that involve phrases like, "green room" and "send a car." (hope it has leather seats-- it's picking up a LEONBERGER, after all!) And by "routinely," I mean "never." Molly is well armed with lots of cautions about the breed-- shedding, almost amphibious nature, need for constant family companionship, etc. We are humbled and a bit uncomfortable by all this attention. Astrid (who will most likely remain in the green room with her dh and a wad of kleenex clutched tightly in her fist!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if we even get that show here in Quebec (I never watch TV, so I really am clueless, maybe we do, maybe we dont...) I would also like to read the article that started it all!
