WooHoo...it's Labor Day Weekend!

Tillman and Friends chillin' in the RV

Ahhh I'm so ready for a nice long holiday weekend. It isn't easy being a world famous bulldog like me. I have pawtagraphs to give, people who want to pet me and the endless photos with people aiming their iPhones and Droids at me for a "quick picture". But truth be told, I LOVE IT! I just stand there, smile for the photos and let one rip when no one is looking. It cracks me up seeing everyone's faces when the realize what happened.

So this Labor Day Weekend? Well right now we're already chillin' out in my RV. We're relaxing before we head down to Dodger Stadium tomorrow for one final 'Bark in the Park' for the season. My pals at the Dodgers and Natural Balance Pet Foods love to invite lots of dogs to the ballpark for fun and mayhem.

What are your plans this holiday weekend with your pet?

Take a Tip from Tillman!

Tillman likes chewing & playing Tug of War

Take a tip from me for your dog: Chewing and playtime helps relieve stress, provides mental stimulation and keeps dogs out of trouble.

Although sometimes I still like to get into trouble and be a bad boy. It's fun once in awhile, agree?

Go Ahead and JUMP!

Tillman jumps for the board!

I get so excited when I see my board it makes me jump for joy. Well that and I was trying to impress the sand crabs... I have been told once or twice that I'm a bit of a ham! Truth be told it was an awesome morning at the beach, not crowded, not too hot and the water felt so great between my toes. Life is good. Don't you want to jump when things all go so well?

Delectable Delights Stews...Something to Bark About

I'm not usually a product spokes-dog but I have something BARK about!

Check out these new Delectable Delights gourmet stews from my pals at Dick Van Patten's Natural Balance Pet Foods, Inc. Find them at your local independent pet store or any Petco. Your pets will LOVE them.

Try them this weekend...take a photo of your dog or cat eating them and post the photo on my Facebook wall. I might surprise some random people who post. :-D

Sincerely,

Tillman

A Wild Time in Las Vegas

They say what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But I'm more than happy to share this photo of me at the Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. Here's a photo of me with Elvis Presley. He didn't say much-- but I didn't mind, he seemed like a dummy anyway. I should have tried giving him some of my Tillman's Treats.

Any Elvis fans out there? What's your favorite Elvis song?

Weekends Are Made for Smiling

Despite being a "cool guy" bulldog, I like to smile and be happy. Weekends make me happy for sure....I'm always smiling. What makes your pet smile? Can you tell when they are smiling? Check out this picture of me and my dad...now THIS makes me smile.

We all need a pat on the back....

We all need a good pat on the back now and then. I know I do! Especially belly rubs. Lucky for me, I'm famous so lots of people want to pet me. But even when I'm home with my brothers and sister, we get lots of attention from dad.

Does your pet "ask" for your attention? How?

Rose is a Gold Medal Winner to Me

My sister Rose is more than just a pretty face.

She's smart, talented and a good athlete. After watching the Olympics now she's even trying volleyball.

I think she'd be a Gold Medal Winner, don't you think?

Keeping Cool in LA

Tillman keeps cool in his bone-shaped pool

It has been a hot summer. H-O-T! Lucky for me I have an awesome swimming pool at home. My dad takes great care of me, don't you think? I'm a lucky dawg, don't ya think?

Sept 1st: Bark in the Park at LA Dodgers!

Filming in Los Angeles

I was filming this week in Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium. I had to remind the Hollywood movie people that I DON'T need help from the 'Hair, Makeup or Wardrobe' department.

Despite that, I am a Hollywood Hunk and Sports star too...

Agree?

I Love Paw-Ball

Tillman loves playing football, especially the tackling part

Hey I found another sport I enjoy: FOOTBALL. Maybe I should call it PAW-BALL. Bwwaahaaahaaa!

What sports do you enjoy most?

Can You Dig It?

Ahhh Sundays. They were made for digging around at the beach. I love play time. My dad keeps me busy when we go for walks on the beach, burying stuff, playing fetch, digging for crabs, whatever. I just like to have fun.

Summertime Sundays are the best.
