How did a pair of happy-go-lucky farmhands with impeccable pedigrees become the fabulous celebrity bloggers you know today? With grit, determination, and a pinch of sass! Here's the story of Francesca and Sharkey, bloggers extraordinaire.

We may as well start from the beginning. Once upon a time, there were two Frenchies, one named Francesca (though she was born with the name Raven)...

And one named Sharkey, nee Classy Justus Folle Blanche. (Go figure!)

They -- that is, we -- found a wonderful human named Martha, who took us on long, rambling hikes. (Here we all are at Great Head in Maine.)

With Martha, we had a relaxing life of al fresco luncheons on the front porch...

...Games of skill...

...And most of all, playing tricks on one another. Here's Francesca noticing that Sharkey is just a little too comfy out in the yard, and preparing a classic ambush.

She goes on the attack, straight for the ear...

...But gets it as good as she gives, as the tables are turned!

Basically, we were a pair of lovable goofs. Here we are entering the big Easter photo contest on MarthaStewart.com. Little did we know that as family members, we weren't qualified to win!

One day, Martha decided that we ought to get to work, so we began our blog, The Daily Wag. This is us writing a post on the First Family's dog, Bo. We're still waiting for our White House invitation.

Suddenly, we were celebrities! We became regular guests on Martha's television show, like on this occasion when we modeled gorgeous felted sweaters made from hand-me-down cardigans.

We made the rounds of the talk shows just like all the other celebrities. Here we are on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."

And posed for fashion shoots... (This one was for a Halloween costume spread.)

By the way, Francesca was dressed as a sinister black widow spider...

And here's Sharkey as a magnificent gray moth.

We even tried our paws at a radio show, "Whatever Frenchies," on Martha's Sirius Radio channel.

We spent hours getting dolled up to be seen by our adoring fans. (Here's Sharkey looking glamorous in her Swarovski crystal necklace.)

And we brushed up on our etiquette, so we'd represent the company like the refined ladies we are.

Just to give you an idea of how our lives changed, we went from very basic transportation...

...to cruising the farm in a Kawasaki four-wheeler...

To hitting the road behind the wheel of an SUV. Look out, Thelma and Louise!

But as celebrities, we really need a limo, don't we? Here we are on the way to the television studio.

And for longer distances, what else? A private jet. We're on our way to Saint Louis to take a tour of the Purina headquarters.

But through it all, we worked very hard and were never afraid to get our paws dirty. We did our chores around the farm. We're pretty handy at auto mechanics, for instance.

And we enjoy giving garden tours of the farm in springtime. (We let Martha do the talking, but we're in the lead.)

We're less thrilled about washing cars, but we do that, too.

We even tried our paws at handling security. OK, Aunt Laura, you're on the list. You can come in!

But that didn't work out quite as well as we'd hoped.

Still, with all that work, we felt it necessary to negotiate a raise with Martha's business manager at the farm.

We got the raise, and to show our gratitude we tried our hand at some crafts -- though without opposable thumbs, that wasn't very easy! Here's Sharkey with a knitting kit.

Unfortunately, Francesca didn't take the effort quite so seriously.

Another attempt went better, when we made Martha a Valentine's Day surprise.

Success! The Boss approved.

Of course, we still manage to get into trouble. Chasing a skunk turned out to be a bad idea...and ended in a gross tomato-juice bath.

And it was still a bad idea when we did it again a few weeks later. Sorry, Laura!

One thing we've learned from our experiences is that when you're famous, you can become the target of some pretty catty remarks, like when Bill O'Reilly called us pinheads! As you can see, we responded with the maturity you'd expect.

But like many celebrities, we find our "center" by doing yoga. Or at least Sharkey does. Here, she is trying very hard to get into "Sarvangasana," the shoulder-stand pose. Did you know that it is one of the best and most important asanas in hatha yoga? It really benefits all the body systems. OK, just a little more lift -- almost there!

And at the end of the day, there's nothing quite like a nap to set things right.

Though we have a sneaking suspicion that our stuffed animals come to life when we close our eyes. Or is someone playing a trick on us?
