Gene’s biggest fans don’t care at all that she’s a sensation from coast to coast. Her beloved dogs Dottie & Dashiell love Gene just the way she is! They love it when Gene clips the leashes onto their jeweled collars for a stroll along the immaculately landscaped avenues of Beverly Hills. Dahiell, a Scotch terrier, like the Roosevelt’s family pet Fala, trots along at a brisk pace, his black curls gleaming with health. Dottie, a white West Highland terrier, fairly bounces with excitement.

Their faux fur is a plush fluff and they have black button eyes. They measure 4x3” each. They come with a Certificate of Authenticity # K07796

I have just gotten back from a 2 week tour throughout the West : Went to Hollywood and saw the Craig Ferguson Show! Disneyland on my birthday! ...it is free on your birthday this year! Peoria, Sedona, AZ, Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas and Yosemite..It was a great time!

Tip about Disnyeland: The best way to see Disneyland is in a electric wheel chair that you can rent there! It is your car! No sore feet at the end of the day! and as an added bonus you can choose to go to the front of any ride lines! Of course, if you are not really layed up for some reason this is sort of unfair to the others...so don't just use the chair to get to the front of the line, but Randy had a cane and bad leg (just had a broken leg) and so needed it anyway. But anyone can rent one, just to have the comfort throughout the day and always a chair! I borrowed his too for quick errands, or to go walk the dog at the Disneyland kennel! that's right they even have a Disneyland kennel!!

It was a very fun day!
