Frenchie Farmer Fantasy

Posted by Sharkey

If you’ve been reading Martha’s blog, you know that she went exploring for plants on the North Fork of Long Island in New York State. Of course, we went along for the ride, in search of adventure. There are lots of farm stands out in the country and we spotted one that looked …

Picking blueberries for Martha

Posted by Sharkey

Martha’s been blogging and tweeting about how gorgeous her blueberries are doing this year.  Franny and I agree that it is a bumper crop of great tasting berries.  We like them for breakfast, but maybe we should make a new recipe for blueberry dog muffins.

Workin' At The Car Wash

Posted by Francesca

We were told that Uncle Carlos was coming to visit us and we wanted to give him a little surprise. One of the things he does is to wash the cars. We decided that we would wash the Kawasaki so that he would have more time to spend with us. It was …

Sharkey Helps Out in the Berry Patch

Posted by Sharkey

Martha’s berries are beginning to ripen, which means pick, pick, pick. Francesca isn’t feeling well from a bout of that dreaded lyme disease and she needs to stay calm and cool inside. I, however, wanted to lend a paw in the berry patch and help with the picking. Martha really likes red …

Strange events at the TV studio

Posted by Sharkey

Martha took us to the television studio where she had to tape something for The Whatever Girls show, Whatever Martha! It was taking a longer time than anticipated so we tried to take a little nap. Of course, things don’t always go as expected…..

Making Cupcakes!

Posted by Francesca

Martha has been talking so much about cupcakes lately, promoting her new Martha Stewart’s Cupcakes book.

Giving a tour of the property

It’s a busy time of year for garden tours and people just love coming to see Martha’s gardens.  As you know, I am very fond of showing off the farm to visitors and this time it was a group from The Royal Oak Foundation.  And as for Sharkey, as usual, she went off and did …

Francesca thinks she is so clever

Posted by Sharkey

Francesca thought she was pretty clever the other day, getting involved with that garden tour.  Honestly, she can be so self-important sometimes.  But you may have noticed that she lost interest before the tour group got to the pergola and I’ll be happy to take you there.  Martha’s pergola is a long, freestanding structure of …

Francesca gives a garden tour

Posted by Francesca

Yesterday, I looked outside and saw a large group of people standing down at the stable. I told Sharkey that we should go and investigate, but wouldn’t you know it – Sharkey spotted a squirrel and ran off chasing it. I didn’t mind because I soon found out that it was a garden …

Our photo shoot at the office

Posted by Sharkey

As you know from Friday’s blog, we Frenchies had a very important engagement at Martha’s offices and studios at the Starrett Lehigh building in New York City.  Because of our great beauty and fame, we were called to be part of a photo shoot, modeling the latest in Halloween costume couture.  As usual, the craft …
