An Exclusive Sneak Peek at Spike

Spike is the new spokesdog for Iams Naturals dog food & he sent me a behind the scenes sneak peek of the filming of his latest commercial to share with all of you!

I eat both the new Simple & Natural and the original Healthy Naturals varities.  We switch them up, so it always seems like I’m getting a new food.  My mom person says that I’m getting awesome nutrition from a great company.

Here’s some info on the new Iams Naturals.
– New IAMS Sensitive Naturals – ideal for dogs with ingredient sensitivities.
– New IAMS Simple & Natural – simply made for dogs and contains our highest quality ingredients from nature.

Each of the IAMS Naturals products have higher levels of antioxidants like vitamin E for a healthy immune system, more Omega 3 fatty acids from fish oil for healthy skin and coat, real chicken, fish or lamb meal for building strong, lean muscles and natural prebiotics for healthy digestion.

– None of the IAMS Naturals recipes contain fillers or artificial preservatives, artificial colors or artificial flavors.
– All of our IAMS Naturals recipes are available at pet specialty stores, mass retailers and grocers.

My mom person has been lucky enough to get to know many people behind the Iams & Eukanuba brands & we are proud to say that I am a Iams dog!

Checking out the BlogHer Expo Floor

Flat Oskar really got around and met cool peeps at BlogHer.  Here are some pics from the first day.

Here’s a group of us flat pets in front of a giant bar of Ivory soap that a man was carving like an ice sculpture.  It was really cool.  The flat pets are (L to R) Skeezix, Mao, Tyler, Gracey, & yours truly!

We settled in to get a little office work done,

this is the Skinny Cow if you can see her through the crowd,

the Brawny Man didn’t seem so brawny, but he was nice.

This was a lunch event for all the bloggers who had flat pets.  Besides our group of Proctor & Gamble bloggers & employees, we met up with some of the BlogPaws folks who had their buddies along.

It was at this lunch that my mom person got to meet some of the ladies behind the I Can Has A Cheesburger network!  They were super cool.

Flat Tyler & Flat Oskar got to post the with sun from the Jimmy Dean breakfast commercials,

My mom person thought that these were famous flat people, but I know that they’re not more famous than me!

Also, I’ll be posting about it in a day or so, but the Back to School Auction to benefit The Slimmer Pugs & the Blogville Back to School bash are are in the planning stages.  Check out Frankie Furters blog for all of the latest news & Paws of Peace auction site for information.

Flat Oskar & BlogHer

Flat Oskar & my mom person had a great time at BlogHer.  They went to conferences, lunches, fancy dinners & got to meet an amazing group of people.  She went with a group of bloggers sponsored by the Iams/Eukanuba division of Proctor & Gamble.

Mostly she took pictures of me with stuff, but there were a couple of photo booths where she took pictures with F.O. & her together like this one:

She doesn’t really like posting photo’s of herself, she always thinks she looks daffy, but since it’s my blog, I convinced her that she had to!

We have to tell you that Flat Oskar is the creation of our great friend Bev, who runs the website My Flat Pet.  My Flat Pet tells gives you step by step instructions for how to make your own flat friend.

For anyone going to BlogPaws, there is going to be a session on where you can make your own flat pet, if anyone is interested.

More flat adventures & my brush with celebrities, coming soon!

He Is Kinda Handsome!

My mom person made it home from San Diego & has lots of pictures that she’ll be sharing of Flat Oskar’s adventures.  I got to meet the dude.  He’s quiet, but he seems cool.

Sorry for the poor picture quality.  Someone wasn’t cooperating during the photoshoot!

He does happen to be excessively handsome, don’t you think?
