Spirit Ridge's "Jesse" girl Goes to the Movies!
Thanks to our friends with Moosonee Puppy Rescue in northern Ontario, our Jesse girl was recommended to play the role of "Toby" in the upcoming re-make of the movie FoxFire. It is not unusual for this type of cross gender stardom. Everyone remembers the famous collie "Lassie" who was, in fact, a male dog in reality playing a female collie in the movies. "Jesse" being the budding movie star that she is, also had an opportunity for some trans-gender acting in this movie!

Below are some pictures that were taken throughout Jesse's 9 day experience. We hope you enjoy the pictures and we look forward to seeing the movie when it is released in the latter half of 2012. Rumour on the set has it that this film may be entered in the 2013 Cannes Movie Festival. If so, Spirit Ridge may have to escort Jesse dressed in a tuxedo on the "red carpet"!
