about miss fifi

I was born in the Triangle, but consider the world to be my home. The sum of my experiences rivals that of some of the most well-bred pooches. Believe me, from the top spot at the Westminster Dog Show to the confines of the local kennels, I have seen it all. 

I'm sure you'll notice that my pearls have an uncanny resemblance to those worn by Barbara Bush, and my bearing is quite regal. It just shows that you have good taste. Woof.

You may not agree with every word I say ... but just like my stellar reputation, my advice is always clean and definitely top-notch. I'm even willing to lower my standards to work with felines, though it tends to give me indigestion.

 I write an animal advice column called Ask Fifi on the WRAL.com Pet section; it's my goal to touch the lives of many and elevate the animal kingdom to new heights.

Thanks for writing and I love your column. Did you add Poor Old White Boy? He is my hubby and needless to say, my "Monkey Man." We absolutely love cats and have numerous pics of all our "babies." Thanks again!

Check out my profile picture and let me know what you think.

Miss Fifi, My favorite Beatles song is Yesterday.......it always makes me cry! Like you I really like it all.....especially Paul McCartney......I could listen to him all the time!

Thank you Miss Fifi!

My daughter went to Gainesville, Fla for the summer on a research grant and is staying in the dorms at the university. She was driving around with some friends when she saw a pick-up truck stop, push a dog out, and then drive off. She got the dog and said it was a few months old. Its face is very scarred up and looks like a mixed breed pit bull. She said it was frightened but very grateful she took it in. She said it seemed docile and well mannered. She spent several hours with it – trying to figure out what to do. She took the dog to a no kill shelter because “no dogs in the dorms.” She wants to bring the dog home. She has another year of living on campus and cannot keep the dog. My house is full of OLD, SLOW pets, including an old cat and dog. I am very hesitate to bring in a young part pit-bull who has already been trained to fight into my house.

Anyone have any experiences with a similar situation?

Please see my blog on Michael Vick and decide what you can do to end dog fighting.

Thanks.

Miss Fifi.....take a look at this web site:http://www.pawsatplay.com/poolcam.htm a couple of my friends take their "babies" there..sometimes I go to this website and it just makes me smile.

Check out my pool party blog!

Check out the free t-shirt blog from Angela. Lets pick on her today! Pass the word around!! Lol

Fifi...LOVE your picture gallery.

Why, Miss Fifi, surely you're not suggesting an easier means of cats falling into water, are you? Shame on you.

Miss Fifi...your picture's are great.......

catnip grows about anywheres....i have found....i got a pet question for ya...i adopted this mutto from the humane years ago...he is passive/aggressive...he will take a beating as long as he gets attention....before everyone jumps me...a bones beating is with a rolled up newspaper full of sound and fury signiifying nothing...as billy boy would say...i dont even have the heart to pop him with the rolled up newspaper he will just lay down and roll over on his back....be submissive..and look at me...like alright beat me if you must.....now how do i get him to behave...if i really yell at him he will be good for a week or two....he does not push the alpha thing with me...but he is just a mess...his pic is on my gallery...the one with the big old smile...

You know, that smile should tell you something bones. I think it says, "make all the noise you want, big boy, but I'm gonna do it my way." Have you talked to your vet?

Miss Fifi,

What wonderful humans you have, especially your boy, who will run with you. Just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your pictures.

Great picture.

Ah this is our lizard Rocko and yes he has great balance but the train isn't going too fast....he would sit and ride for hours and looks around like the scenery changes....We just love him...he loves to go to pet smart as well....what a great pet and we are glad we rescued him....The CAmerons in Apex

Loved your recent pictures and report from the Paris fashion shows. It must be wonderful to have front row seats with the Olsen twins :)

Miss Fifi, thank you for stopping by. That good looking boy is my little man Tucker. He is about 7 months old now, and loves his mama. He certainly thinks you are one stunning lady!

Thank you, Miss Fifi. I hope you enjoy the rest of your European trip. I'll be here in Raleigh, jealous of your adventure.

Ms. Fifi, Girl---I was wondering if you'd ever be able to type on that small keypad with those big paws of yours.... Glad you got your blackberry hooked up and I thought the phot0 shoot looked awesome.

Ms Fifi, Tucker said "sniff, sniff...hoooowwwwwl!"

Thanks, I just changed it today. For a couple of weeks I've been featuring pictures of my puppy, Savannah and her litter. The guy I'm getting her from makes a couple of pictures each weekend to share. The one on my profile page today is one of her brothers. Next Monday will be the last litter installment, I'll be picking her up next week. Man, is this week going by sooooo sloooooowwwwwww.

Thanks for stopping by

Paula

Good Monday Morning....have a great one!

Happy New Year Miss Fifi!! Looking forward to your words of wisdom in 2008.

I love the PET section of WRAL and Ms. Fifi! It's the most relaxing segment of the news - especially in a world where so many Bad things happen...the pet section is so great! Thanks, Ms. Fifi and WRAL!

I am so sorry about Penelope Buttercup. I know you will miss her. My heart goes out to you.

Miss Fifi

Just want to say I think you are a class act all the way!

Do you remember Stowaway?

I don't know if you follow the gossip around here, but a GOLO member has threatened to eat her! But Stowaway has already proved once that she is one tough cookie, err... kitten, and is posting a response to her arch-enemy, Thor.

The image gallery is here... http://www.wral.com/golo/image_gallery/3235711/

Enjoy!

Thanks, Fifi!
