As someone whose occupation necessitates mass amounts of solitary time, walking to Starbucks during the work week qualifies as an actual “outing” (seriously).
So you can imagine my excitement when I got to be a part of The Bonnie Hunt Show this week…cartwheels!
I’m not even going to try to act cool about this whole thing and delete all my italics and exclamation points. It was a complete thrill!!! And the cast, crew – basically everyone we came in contact with – were all just as friendly and welcoming as Bonnie herself.
But even with three exclamation points, it’s hard to truly express how 1.) surreal it was and 2.) how grateful I feel to have even had this experience, considering what I do for a living. I mean, really – who invites dog artists to be on talk shows? Exactly.
The show airs this Monday, January 18th, 2010. You can check out Bonnie’s website for exact show times in your area.
In the meantime, here’s a few behind the scenes pics from zee best outing I have had since my last latté…
Thanks, as always, for reading. (And for watching on Monday!)

I am so happy that you had a great time. You deserve it. You are very talented so why shouldn’t you get recognized. I can’t wait to watch Monday. Bonnie Hunt is an awesome person and she makes everyone feel so comfortable that is just how she is very personable.

How exciting for you. I can’t wait to watch the show.
Congrats! That is so cool! I’ll have my Mom record it since I don’t get broadcast television. I love the shepherd BTW, he does look a lot like Caleb.
Whoo hoooo! Congrats and well deserved. Love the photos. I am setting the DVR. 😀
My parents are the hugest Bonnie Hunt fans. That is the only reason I know about the show. The watch it over and over. LOL I will tell then you will be on.
You’ll be on the show on my birthday!!! I hope I can find it broadcast online. Her show isn’t on in these here parts.
Aimee
Good for You!!! I luv the Bonnie Hunt show too. I have been viewing your work for some time now and hope one day you will do a piece for my husband (Uwe) and me.
You are so blessed.
Cheers!!!
Janine
Putting YOU on my calendar RIGHT NOW! You are extremely inspiring! Reminding me to shoot for the stars with my own work!
High FIVE and a big Woo HOO!
Jen
Bonnie must have been completely out of guest prospects!
Jusy kidding.
Agreed! (That is, if I was on as an actual “guest.”)
Hey Aimée-
I found my local channel/time for Monday’s show, but your name isn’t listed in the description. Is your show the one with Billy Ray Cyrus?
Excited!
Janet
Yep! I am not a “guest” interview, but on at the top of the show when Bonnie calls the portrait winner on air. Unless, of course, it’s cut for time. At which point you’ll find me in the corner, rocking back and forth, sobbing.
Already have it Tivo’d….Still love Coco’s pic that you did for me….a real treasure!!!! Break a leg – as they say in H’wood!
Aimee, your paintings are awesome! I was going to enter my dog’s pic in Bonnie’s contest, but didn’t get it done. Candy was a pomeranian and was 16 years old when she died last April. I still miss her a lot. I’m looking forward to seeing the show tomorrow. Congrats on being on Bonnie’s show!
Yeaaa! We are so excited to see the show! Congrats! You really deserve it! Love the pics!
So happy for you!
The Bonnie Hunt show is not shown on tv where I live. I hope you are able to set up some kind of link so those of us who are not able to see the show will still see your part of it?
Once again, congrats!
Wow that is so exciting, Some one should record it and post it on youtube for all of the people who wont be able to watch it!!
*Someone please record and post it!!!! I wont be able to watch and am a HUGE Fan and would love to see it!!
Can’t wait to see it! I’m setting up tivo in my new place right now, first thing I’ll set to record is the Bonnie Hunt show. HOW EXCITING!!! 😀
[…] had such a blast working with The Bonnie Hunt Show on the pet portrait contest. The whole experience from beginning to end was just AWESOME. In case you missed Sadie’s big national television […]
Love your work. How cool that you’ve gone National TV!! Watched it, you did a fabulous job!! I would have been a nervous jerk ~ haha
Congrats and Good Luck!!
