Sharkey and I always join Martha in the gym for her daily exercise regimen, and yesterday, we were surprised to see that she had visitors there. We found out it was that television show, called Nightline and that Cynthia McFadden, one of the co-anchors was interviewing Martha. They were actually doing a big story about spending one whole day with Martha to see what her life is really like. We can’t wait to watch it on November 19th!
…And a new relationship with Age Group Ltd. and Petsmart
As you know, Martha is always thinking of ways to make the world a better place and that includes the world of pets. Martha loves all her pets, including the cats and birds, and we all feel like very important members of her family. Sharkey and I were so happy to hear that Martha and MSLO have entered into a new relationship with Age Group Ltd. to manufacture, market and sell pet-care products, which will be sold through PetSmart, Inc., the largest specialty retailer of services and solutions for pets. This is really great news for all of you who want stylish pet accessories, like Sharkey’s and mine, including apparel, collars, leashes, bedding, grooming supplies, toys and more. You can expect to see the first of these products sometime next year. Are you as excited as we are? Check out our photos and video of us being interviewed on CNBC’s Power Lunch about this new relationship.
1 Sharkey and I were bathed and dressed chicly for our guest appearance with Martha on CNBC's Power Lunch. Here we are on our way to be interviewed.
2 From a distance, we thought we had seen a turkey, but when we got closer, we realized it was the colorful peacock logo of NBC.
3 Hurry up, Sharkey - we don't want to be late for our call time.
4 Wow, this lobby is very impressive - I just love the sapphire-blue flooring.
5 Oh great! It' Mary Curran, Martha's hair and makeup artist. We love her!
6 Here I am with Karima Greene - she was our producer for the segment
7 Mary? Mary? Where are you? I need a touch-up!!
8 You know, sometimes I work the controls at Martha's TV show - can you give me a tour of your control room?
9 Sharkey, you go ahead - I'll just stay here for a few minutes.
10 When we finally got on set, Bill Griffeth - co-host of Power Lunch - came over to greet us. I don't think they have too many dogs visit their show.
11 Smile Sharkey - we're on air! Charles Koppelman - chairman of MSLO and Martha, being interviewed by Michelle Caruso-Cabrera - Power Lunch co-anchor
12 There we are live on TV - Oops - I guess we weren't facing the right camera.
13 It looks like it's a great time to be a pet - 81% of pet-owners will increase pet care spending!
14 Everyone at Power Lunch was so surprise at how well-behaved we were. They just didn't realize how experienced we are!
15 Sharkey, I hope you don't feel left out.
16 Can you believe there was actually a bet that we, Frenchies, wouldn't sit still? Here is Dennis Kneale - Power Lunch co-anchor - who lost that wager to Uncle Charles.
