R.I.P. Mimi LaRue

Posted by amy on June 19, 2008.

Celebrity pug, Mimi LaRue, has sadly passed away at the age of 11. Mimi was the beloved dog of actress Tori Spelling. "I'm devastated," Tori tells People magazine of her pet. "She was not just a dog but a fashion icon and legend amongst Hollywood dogs...She received fan e-mail on a regular basis, and I often joked she got sent more designer clothes than me!" Mimi had been suffering from medical problems for years but died in the comfort of her home surrounded by Tori, husband Dean, Liam, 1, and newborn Stella. "She was a loving pet and a true diva to the end," Tori adds. Rest in peace Mimi La Rue...don't fade away.

Oprah's Dedication...

Posted by amy on May 28, 2008.

An exhibit dedicated to the memory of Oprah Winfrey’s late dogs opens in Manhattan’s west village, helping to promote pet safety awareness. A life-size monument depicts “puppy versions” of Oprah’s Cocker Spaniel Sophie and Golden Labrador Gracie atop the head of the talk show icon by controversial sculptor Daniel Edwards. The Puppies’ Memorial was exhibited at Leo Kesting Gallery on May 22nd. “Memories of Sophie and Gracie: A Puppies’ Memorial” is inspired by the Oprah press releases that announced the passing of Gracie, who choked on a ball last year, and the passing of Sophie, who died in March.

Puppy Love Pet Matchmaking?

Posted by amy on April 03, 2008.

It’s Love, Doggone It!

Birds do it. Bees do it. And naturally, Poopsy does it, too. It’s just unfortunate she’ll get down with any scruffy hood mutt who’s willing and able.

Save her reputation and do the randy bitch a favor: Hook her up with Puppy Love, Beverly Hills’ new matchmaking service for pets. Getting started is not only simple, it’s free, too. After answering a detailed personality and preference questionnaire (east side or west? Smooth or wire coat? Jerky or chew? Top or bottom?), send in a few doggie glamour shots to the brains at HQ. They’ll run the pooch’s profile through their system and e-mail over a short list of compatible animals. You pick a suitor or two, arrange a meeting (think Runyon), and the rest is up to Poopsy.

Yes, it might sound crazy.

But you’ll do anything to help get her over the hump.

Puppy Love (310-555-8888 or www.puppylove.com)

Pet Costume Contest in West Hollywood

Posted by amy on October 29, 2007.

On a stroll through West Hollywood Saturday, I stumbled across the cutest Fairy and Superman I've ever seen. My curiosity got the best of me so I followed the pair to the Pet Costume Contest in West Hollywood. I didn't stay around to see who had won categories like "most outrageous", "most creative" or "most spoiled" but I did snap a few shots for you to check out the participants. More pics to come...

Stay tuned, Amy
