A little over a week ago, <a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2011/05/06/day-220-my-dog-hijacked-my-computer/" target="_blank"><strong>my dog hijacked my compute</strong>r </a>and created a <strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/worlds.most.precious.pooch" target="_blank">facebook</a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/worlds.most.precious.pooch" target="_blank"> page</a></strong>.  She already has 62 fans.

&nbsp;

She is promoting herself as <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">A</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">m</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">e</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">r</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">i</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">c</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">a</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">'</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">s</span> <span style="color: #0000ff;">D</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">o</span><span style="color: #0000ff;">g</span></strong> and hopes to eventually surpass <strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/beast.the.dog" target="_blank">Mark </a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/beast.the.dog" target="_blank">Zuckerber'g</a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/beast.the.dog" target="_blank"> pup, Beast</a></strong>, who has 113,938 fans.

&nbsp;

Bella seems unfazed by the monumental task ahead of her.

&nbsp;

I try to explain to her that Mark Zuckerberg is the FOUNDER of facebook, and therefore, his puppy is going to attract a lot of attention.

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Bella:</strong></span> Woof, woof, woofwoofwoofwoofwoof!

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #993300;"><strong><em>translation:</em></strong> </span> <strong><a href="http://www.diaryofalatebloomer.com/2010/12/05/day-69-art-walk-was-a-bust-but/" target="_blank">Remember when that nice lady said that I was destined to be on T.V.?</a></strong> Celebrity is HUGE in this country!  Forget Beast.   I'm going to have more facebook fans than OPRAH!

&nbsp;

Oh, boy.

&nbsp;

Luckily, she's still as sweet and as perfect as ever.  Impending celebrity hasn't gone to her head.  Yet.

&nbsp;

The other day I received an email reminder from the Apple Store reminding me of a 2 p.m. Sunday appointment at their dog-friendly Biltmore location.

&nbsp;

I looked over at Little Miss B.

&nbsp;

<strong><span style="color: #993300;">Bella:</span></strong> Arf.

&nbsp;

<span style="color: #993300;"><em><strong>translation:</strong></em></span> You've already paid for unlimited One-to-One's, and I need to learn how to navigate around this MacBook Pro better so that I can start leveraging social media.

&nbsp;

Oh, brother.

&nbsp;

How could I say "no" to that precious face?  I packed up Little Miss B and the laptop and headed on down to the Apple Store which is the Coolest Store on Earth for allowing dogs.

&nbsp;

As usual, Little Miss B attracted a lot of attention.

&nbsp;

One passerby noted that she looked just like Toto.

&nbsp;

An Apple Genius tickled her chin and cooed to her that she looked like Gizmo.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

(Note how neither of these look like a Neapolitan Mastiff as declared by Mars Veterinary's Wisdom Panel DNA kit.)

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Back to reality...

&nbsp;

Children approached for petting privileges.

&nbsp;

Little Miss B remained humble throughout all of this and bestowed kisses and coy glances upon her fans.

&nbsp;

She also learned a thing or two from her Genius before lying down at my feet and drifting off to sleep.

&nbsp;

What do you expect?  She is a dog, after all.
