Farewell, Shooka, and Nala: Gosselins' Dogs Go Back to Breeder!

Added to the family less than a year ago, Jon Gosselin already came under fire for past remarks about the sextuplets treatment of their pups .

Added to the family less than a year ago, Jon Gosselin already came under fire for past remarks about the sextuplets treatment of their pups . . . and now they're reportedly returned to the breeder. First off, it's sad to lose (or give up) any pet, but even sadder that the kids are losing two furry family members along with so many other changes in their lives right now.

I understand that dog ownership is hard work (boy, do I ever), but it seems that another solution could have been found — a caretaker for the pups perhaps, or a larger place in NY where the big dogs would be welcome? Oh well, here's hoping that the German Shepherds find a forever home soon enough.

Jon spent a final day playing with the dogs before the duo was loaded up into a crate in the back of a truck — see Shooka and Nala's last day when you read more

The Scoop: Trakr's Cute Clones Make Their Debut!

In no particular order meet Trustt, Solace, Prodigy, Valor, and Dejavu.

In no particular order meet Trustt, Solace, Prodigy, Valor, and Dejavu. How cute (and sleepy) they are! This unconventional new puppy alert features five German Shepherd dogs recently cloned in South Korea and making a press debut yesterday in LA.

If you've forgotten, Trakr was a hero dog working after the 2001 terror strikes on the World Trade Center and we first learned of his most "clone-worthy" status and future procedure last Summer. Even if you wouldn't pay to clone your own pet, I can't see anything wrong with adding five future heroes to the world, can you?

The Scoop: Joe Biden Picks His Puppy

While we've been anxiously waiting for any announcement about the TBD Obama puppy, the "second dog" was just introduced over the weekend.

While we've been anxiously waiting for any announcement about the TBD Obama puppy, the "second dog" was just introduced over the weekend. Vice President-elect Joe Biden picked out a three-month-old German Shepherd from a kennel in suburban Philadelphia on Saturday. The lil boy won't join the family quite yet and still remains nameless. Turns out Biden told the breeder that honor will go to his grandkids . . . but, with five of them, how will everyone agree on just one name?!

Do you have any name suggestions for the cutie pie? Let's hear them below!
