Ashley Olsen Gets a Furry Friend

Toting around her furry friend, Ashley Olsen was spotted in New York City with a brand new puppy on Wednesday (April 7).

The former "Full House" hottie cradled her adorable French bulldog as she ran around town to tend to the day's errands.

Miss Olsen's puppy pickup comes as she and boyfriend Justin Bartha get used to a new routine while he performs on Broadway.

In related news,Ashley and sister Mary-Kate have recently announced that they will be dropping Robert Lee Morris's name from their Elizabeth & James jewelry line.

The fall 2010 release will rid of Morris’s tag-on after the Olsen gals became part of the CFDA, therefore making it unnecessary to require an “expert” overseeing their endeavors.
