Ever since he was just a wee pup...we could see it in his eyes...
That twinkle...that said star quality...
Never shy from the spotlight, we knew he was meant to do great things...and then one day...turn all 'Hollywood' on us...
And now...he is ready for his big break! When he heard that Bissell commercial he just knew this was it...so he has packed his bags...
and decided to head out on the open road...
It will be grueling work of course...but with a face like this he'll be famous in no time.
The producers will be hounding him and the fans will be lining up to get his autograph...
He'll be forced to wear shades when going out so as not to be hounded by paparazzi...
There will be benefits to his fame of course...
Expensive shopping trips...and living in the lap of luxury...
And at the end of a hard days work...he will be dog tired...
But first...before he can live his dream...he needs your help! You can bring all of Renoir's 'Hollywood' dreams to life by voting for him as the Bissell Pet MVP!
Renoir is desperate to get his face on a Bissell box...but it can't happen without you!
So please, head on over and vote for Renoir! There is some steep competition...but Renoir's not worried ;)
He knows you'll pull through for him.
After all, how could you say no to a face like this?

Dear Renoir,
As per Aunt Julie's instructions, I have come to vote for you. I have often read your mother's blog and even left her a comment once. And after reading her heartfelt plea to "get out and vote!", I will now proceed to the ballot box and cast my ballot for you ( a scruffy-but-cute little rascal for sure.) Good luck Alice (I mean Renoir!) xoxo Amy Arnaz (the mother of another rascal named Jelly Belly)

Dear Alice-I came across your blog in Artful Bloggers and just had to stop by! I am a visual artist and I was drawn to your images...your aesthetics and sense of color and form are...luscious. I love the everyday beauty you surround yoursef with, that you create. Amazing!Thanks for sharing. -Soraya

Hugs to you sweetie and sweetest,

Renoir,
I just voted for you because you are
A. white (my favorite color) and B. cute.
Don't be offended by my shallow reasons, I just don't know you well enough to have any other reason : )
Best of Luck,
Allison

I was vote number 39 :). It's so nice how much you love him. I have a very spoiled toy poodle.
I love your pictures. I visit them often for inspiration. You are very gifted.
Thanks.

I know how much someone can love a pet, like you love your Renoir, because I have my own two terriers that mean the world to me. I have to say that he has star quality, and deserves to win the contest! Best of luck, Renoir!
Posted by: Mitzi Curi | February 09, 2010 at 05:39 PM
Renoir, I can tell from your photos you were born to be a star. My doggie is jealous right now ;o) If you don't win, those people are crazy!
Best of luck!
