After a relationship ended, Laura decided to adopt a Pomeranian puppy as a birthday gift to herself and found Preston when he was eight weeks old. That was six years ago and it was love at first sight! "Preston has made the most profound, positive impact on my life," Laura tells us. He brings happiness, laughter, peace, joy and insanity.
We've both grown so much together, and as intelligent as Preston is, I have learned 100 times more from him."
Being a workaholic most of her life, thanks to Preston, Laura credits this little ball of fluff with having more patience, balance and compassion in her life. Words cannot express the bond she and Preston share, it's beyond unconditional love and she remarks that a day doesn't go by without smiling, no matter what's happening in her life, just thinking of Preston.
Laura and Preston spent two months last summer on CBS's Greatest American Dog show. It was a great adventure and she and Preston were inseparable 24/7 with no iphone, friends or outside contact for the duration of the show. It was tough being cut off from everyone in her life, but she considers Preston her family, her best friend and home is where her dog is. "As long as we're together, we're happy," Laura gushes. Preston also acquired some canine lifelong buddies, Andrew, Leroy and Tillman, from the CBS show. Tillman was the famous skateboarding bulldog and is the reason Preston has taken up this sport. Leroy taught Preston how to play the piano and these two can wrestle for hours. Preston and Andrew are BFF's, as well as business partners.
These two gregarious go-getters have a lot of exciting projects in the works. Laura confides that "We're in development with a feature film for Preston to star in. It's a heartwarming, hysterically funny, family comedy." In the meantime, the inseparable twosome has been meeting with production companies about a few different animalrelated network shows. And every Monday, they host a live interactive Web show for dog lovers on theStream.tv, called Preston's Planet. They invite animal experts, celebrities and their dogs to join them on Mondays at 6 p.m. PST/9 p.m. EST, where fans can go online and help interview the guests.
Another project in the works is the book, Girly Dogs, which they plan on self-publishing. Laura and Preston are partnering with Laurie and Andrew from The Greatest American Dog and are on a mission to empower and prove the true potential of so-called girly dogs. Preston and Andrew have taken it upon their paws to start a revolution on behalf of small dogs everywhere!
And Laura and Preston spend time getting involved with various charities and wonderful organizations doing whatever they can to help raise money and awareness for worthy animal causes.
