Rest in Peace Eddie, We’ll Miss You!

Remember Eddie from Frasier? I loved that dog!  Eddie’s real name was Moose and he lived a long and fun life as one America’s favorite sitcom pets.  Something I didn’t know was that she also played the grown up dog on “My Dog Skip”.. cool!  Moose was almost 17 years old.  R.I.P. boy - we’ll miss ya!  Arrfff arrrffff

A new baby for Britney

Britney Spears dined at a Malibu restaurant with the new love of her life - a tiny hairless Chihuahua pup.

Brit brought along her new pooch to the exclusive Moonshadows eaterie - and even dragged along hubby Kevin Federline.

Britney was quick to make sure the pampered pooch, real name not yet known, was achingly fashionable. 

The doggie was donned in an up-to-date red and black poncho. Lucky mutt! (errr shall I say poor little puppy!)

Sweet hubby, Kevin, strolled to the restaurant with the dog in his arms. But when he saw the paparazzi -and mindful of his manly image - he quickly handed the slavering pooch to his missus.  Britney immediately placed it in a Burberry-style doggie tote, along with a bowl of water - and her Kabbalah book.

Princess Anne’s killer bull terrier attacks again

A royal maid was attacked by the Princess Royal’s killer bull terrier just days after it savaged one of the Queen’s corgis, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.

Florence the English bull terrier attacked the woman while at Sandringham on Saturday, biting her on the knee, a Palace spokeswoman said.

The woman, reportedly in her 50s, was treated on the estate by a doctor who had been called by Anne after hearing of the attack.

The hound will now undergo behavioural retraining but the Palace spokeswoman refused to comment on whether it would have to be put down. [via Ananova]

Behavioural training? Oh puh-lease.. give me a break. It kills a dog just a week ago, now it attacks a maid. Obviously the pooch has problems. Maybe someone is teasing it? Maybe something odd is going on in the household? Something is setting this dog off and making it attack.

. . .

(I’ve skipped a beat here, between the last post and this one so I thought I’d play catch-up here. It was discovered that Dotty did not kill the Queen’s corgi, it was Florence who did the deed.)

Queen Elizabeth II is mourning the loss of…

one of her beloved corgis, after it was mauled by an English Bull Terrier that belongs to her daughter, Princess Anne.

Buckingham Palace would not comment on the widely reported attack, which has cast a pall over the family’s holiday celebrations. An unidentified “royal insider” told The Sun newspaper that the queen was devastated by the dog’s death.

British newspapers said Pharos the corgi was hurt in an altercation with Dotty the bull terrier at the royal family’s Sandringham estate on Monday. The 77-year-old queen, recovering from recent knee surgery, hobbled to the scene to find Pharos badly injured, with one leg broken in three places.  The corgi was treated by royal vets but had to be put down, reports said. more...

Keiko the whale of Free Willy Died!

Oh man this is sad. I totally loved to watch the Free Willy movies with my kids. I just saw this on the NBC Nightly News. Here’s a link to a bunch of stories on it. Poor Keiko, he only was able to survive for a year on his own in the ocean. He swam all the way from Iceland to Norway on his journey of freedom.
