The Trucker Path (pampered) Puppy

| Missy the pampered #TruckerPath puppy. |
8:30am call time meant getting up at 5:30am for tea, coffee, getting dressed, pretrip inspection of the truck, and of course walking the four-legged, furbaby, Missy. We had an hour and a half drive from New Braunsfel to a ranch west of Austin by the name Raimer Ranch for the filming of the Trucker Path commercial. We had to roll before I could do my makeup, so that was done on the road. Did you know it's not easy sitting on the bunk in the back trying to put on makeup while he drives down a two-lane Texas back road, up and down hills, with bumps curves, and switchbacks?
It's amazing I didn't exit the truck looking like a clown! But our interview was first in the morning, so you do what has to be done. Plus they wanted picturesque shots and video of our truck throughout the day all the way up through sunset. It was going to be a long day.

A long hot day in the Texas August heat.
Usually the heat doesn't bother us, or the dog too much. The truck has a good AC. Even when we sit for a while we keep it idling with the AC and fans going. Texas heat is arid, dry, and not humid like Florida. But at 115 degrees you don't need humidity to feel the heat. Today we knew he and I would have to suff... endure the heat at least. Missy would maintain her usual spot snoozing on the bed in the comfort of the air-conditioned truck.
Arriving on set early the crew was just setting up for lights and sound. We met the director Gina and the assistant Director Zane. Then we were informed due to sound the truck would need to be shut off throughout most of the day. We were told, however, not to worry, they had a cool place for Missy to stay.
This cool place turned out to be her very own 28 foot travel trailer complete with air-conditioner already cranking.
The DOG had her VERY OWN trailer! Talk about PAMPERED!
The talent and crew were in a shaded garage with fans. Fans. But the 20 pound dog was escorted to her own private trailer to relax and snooze all day in cool and comfort. Periodically, people would go check on her, pet her, take her for a walk, make sure her water was fresh. Oh and when the filming was done the entire crew just HAD to come love on her.
Next I expect her to start demanding for filet mignon treats and a golden collar. Maybe her own star on Hollywood Blvd? But no, she didn't let the pampering go to her fuzzy little head. She continues to snore all day in the truck sucking up the AC and hogging the bed. That's my little Missy girl and I wouldn't have her any other way. She deserves all the pampering she can get!

Thank you to both the production company, Region C, and to Trucker Path for everything you've done for Allen and I, but also for treating my little puppy like the pampered superstar that she is to me.
