Post A Pup Sundays: Eddie, the dog from Frasier

By


In the TV show Frasier, the adorable little dog Eddie was played by two Jack Russell Terriers: Moose and his son Enzo. Moose, who started the role, appeared from the show's beginning in 1993 until the end of its eighth season in 2000. Moose was known for his incredible training and ability to do many tricks. He was so popular that Moose even got more fan mail than the human actors, which is no surprise. The only problem is that people ran out and got Jack Russells, not realizing how independent and rambunctious they could be. They need plenty of exercise, and let's face it, not everyone is prepared to run their dog for an hour or two a day. 

Moose's incredible journey from a troubled pup to a much-loved TV star is really inspiring. Born on December 24, 1990, in Florida, Moose's first family found him way too energetic and hard to handle. That's when a trainer named Mathilde de Cagny adopted him. After only six months of training, Moose landed the role of Eddie in Frasier, where he stole the show with his comedic antics, especially his silent stares at Frasier Crane, played by Kelsey Grammer. 

After Moose retired, his son Enzo, born in July 1995, took over the role of Eddie for the rest of the series. Enzo was bred specifically as a potential replacement for Moose. He looks a lot like his dad, which helps keep the character consistent. Enzo also did more physically demanding stunts as Moose got older and became a senior canine who had captured the hearts of fans of the show. 

Moose and Enzo left a lasting impression on the show and its fans. Moose passed away in 2006 at the age of 15, and Enzo died in 2010 at the age of 14. They are dearly remembered by the fans who loved Frasier.

It's happening right now! This is place to scream about the election; to vent, to rejoice, to grumble, then scream again. I swear, your throat will feel like sandpaper once this day is done. Have you voted yet? Are you in line? Post pictures! Is your heart skipping beats? Do you fear for the future? Of course you do! But crucially, do you have enough booze and pills to get through this? What, exactly, are you taking or drinking? We want to know. And what are you eating? Are you a sugar or salt whore? We want to know that, too.  Leave those who'd rather not discuss such matters to our special Election-Free Open Post , since today, for one day only, we're gettin' real and gettin' dirty  in our own gasping, shrieking, blood-soaked election post. Hold tight.

OPEN POST: We Will Survive!

Rise up, my chickens. We're all worth fighting for.  It won't be easy, it won't be fun, but through the long dark of night and on to a new day, it will surely be worth it. We don't regularly refer to politics in our Open Posts, but today, I think it's worth noting that many of us got through eight long years of Ronald Reagan - and it was a nightmare, and for many of my contemporaries, deadly. But here we are, we're still standing. We'll get through this, too, I promise.  What does this mean in the short-term? Tears, fury, booze, pills, or weed, of course. You have my permission - not that you need it - to comfort yourself however you like for the rest of the week. But come Monday, all bets are off. Bitches won't even see us coming.

Are you freaking out about the election tomorrow? Me, too. Or maybe you're having a more generalized "It's Monday, oh-my-fucking-gawd" freak out? In either case, please allow Peckerwood Manor's esteemed DJ Li'l Scratch to take you away. Many of you already know about Li'l Scratch, as he regularly lays tracks at "Heavy D's," the Manor's exclusive after-hours club.  Today he's spinning Teri Thornton, a vibrant, husky-voiced jazz singer and piano player who hailed from Detroit. In 1961, she exploded onto the scene with her debut LP, "Devil May Care," demonstrating show-stopping vocal prowess. The reviews were through the roof and so was the public reception, yet just as suddenly - poof - she vanished after a few more LPs, her career thwarted by market changes given the rise of rock 'n' roll. And that was that. She was all but forgotten, reduced to driving a taxi to make ends meet.  But in a jaw-dropping comeback, she re
