Celebrity Yorkie Jilli Dog
Jilli Dog is quite the celebrity. She’s been on Live with Regis and Kelly, has been featured on Animal Planet, and has played poker with Bette Midler. It just so happens that her trainer, Rick Caran, is the brother-in-law of Tina Rosenzweig, who’s been staying with me for a couple of weeks.
Jilli has a big show in Dallas later this week, so Rick brought her to the San Jose Hotel for a dress rehearsal. Unfortunately she was feeling a bit under the weather, so we didn’t get the whole show, but we did get to see her say hi, dance around a bit, and shoot some hoops. This is one entertaining little Yorkie. Everyone loved her, and she loved everyone right back.

There are tons of videos on her web site if you’d like to see her in action. I’ve heard from a couple of trainers that little dogs can’t really be trained. Jilli definitely proves the claim entirely wrong.

My aunt in NY had a yorkie named Suzy Q. Very smart dog, like Jilli–but she got tubby towards the end of her life, leading to her nickname of Porkie Yorkie!
Hey Julie! Very nice story about our little Jilli Dog! Your pictures are so crisp and clear and you caught some nice mood!-) Just for the record, she is feeling better, and getting her spirit back. I think by tomorrow she will be fine! Hope to see you again, soon! best regards, Rick and Jilli Dog
