Hi, my name is Mimi Scarjula and this is Miss Gypsy Rosley and this is Baby
0:18
We were doing so well. We were doing so well
0:28
So Gypsy was my first pub and she was my grandmother's. And my grandmother rescued Gypsy when she was six months old off the side of the road
0:38
in Robert Louisiana. So Gypsy went from a box on the side of the road to New York City
0:44
So she is the true rags and ridges story. And then when my grandmother passed right after I moved to New York about nine years ago
0:52
I brought Gypsy up to live with me and she's been with me ever since
0:55
And then I had the itch for another pup about around this time last year and with major, major
1:06
convincing to my amazing fiance. We finally said we could get another dog and so finally I had reached out to a lady who needed to get rid of baby because she had to many pubs And she came up with us She was the perfect fit And it was perfect because her name was baby when we got her
1:25
And our favorite movie is Dirty Dancing. So it just felt right. Gypsy is 16 and it's like be chillest dog you will ever be. Like she sleeps all day. She's prissy, prim and proper
1:38
She is the head of the household. Her new favorite thing is when she wants us to wake up, she barks at us, and then she's
1:47
completely fine when she comes out and deliver her. But we go by Gypsy's schedule
1:51
And Baby, as you can kind of hear, is our youngest sassy one
1:55
They are very much the, you know that mean, that's like, this is the first dog that made me
2:00
what a second dog, and this is the second dog and they're like, the first one's an angel
2:04
and the second one's crazy. Very much the two of them. But baby is like so happy and like loves to play with toys, loves to snuggle up
2:13
She is a Velcro baby. And both of them love to snuggle
2:17
So there's me girls. My daily routine is I am the morning walk mom
2:23
So we wake up. We usually have a cup of coffee and snuggle for a little bit And then we leash up and we go for a walk around the block and then I come home if it a two day I usually like playing with the ball with baby
2:39
or give them like one of those little com toys so they can get some like energy out and then I'll go do the show
2:45
and I'm insanely lucky that my fiance and I have like really great dog mom schedules like
2:51
I work, if it's a one show day, if we're just at night, I'm with the pups all day pretty much
2:57
and then she comes home at night, and if it's a two-show day, usually once I leave, they're at home
3:02
for like maybe two hours, which is usually a nap time, and then she comes home
3:06
So we definitely co-parent our babies really well. Baby is obsessed with the tennis balls, the, like, green tennis balls that are also sweet
3:16
She loves them. She often plays with, like, two at a time. And if you try to touch what, she's like, no, that's my fault
3:23
Don't touch that. And Gypsy's favorite activity is sleeping. They have never been to a theater before, but when I was in We Are the Tigers, we were recording our cast album
3:37
And that is when I still just had Gypsy. And I locked myself out of my apartment the morning of our cast recording I was taking her on a walk I was fully ready to go But all I had was my phone boot bags and gypsy
3:53
And so I was like, oh, my God. I don't know what's happening. Like, I called my stay turn to her
3:58
I'm like, so I locked myself out of my apartment. I need to be there in 30 minutes
4:03
My super or the locksmith can't be here for two hours. I think I just have to bring my dog to record the album
4:09
So, Gypsy came with me the entire day to record the cast album and in which we recording the album and doing the show that night
4:18
I thought she was going to have to come to the show with me. But the super was able to come up to me to my apartment
4:23
But if you see there's like pictures of her like in the sound booth, like watching this record and our director of her, so that was one of my favorite memories with Gypsy
4:34
Honestly, baby was born in June, so we sometimes call her baby June
4:43
I do think they would both slay as Gypsy Rosalie and Baby June in Gypsy
4:49
So I think George C. Wolf call them up. They're available. I mean, I don't think the contract negotiations would be very hard
4:55
They're really good. Easy work with
