Keira Knightley Lallygags with Lovely Lab Last Night

PetSugar — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 12:45:38 -0700

Between ducking into DKNY between takes, Keira Knightley also found the time to walk this cute (costar?) pooch through NYC's Meatpacking District on Tuesday. I mean what better way to pass time and stay in shape by lallygagging with a Lab as company. I'm personally hoping (fingers crossed) that we'll see the pup again when this film, Last Night, comes out . . . who's with me?

Check out more pictures of the duo when you read more.

Found! January Jones's Roped Leash

PetSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:45:38 -0800

This shaggy black dog sports a rosy lead with his leading lady mom, Mad Men star, January Jones, aww! While you may not be a fan of matchy-matchy leashes for your pet, the lucky dog has a fancy leash that coordinates with a pretty and pink purse . . . and I've sniffed it out.

The Aspen Pet Mountain Dog Leash ($23) is extra durable, with the rope style extending to the handle to make it a comfortable option for your hiking adventures and it comes in red, black, or blue combos in addition to the pink and gray style that January carries.

As season three of the popular series wrapped up last night, perhaps she'll have a bit of a break for more furry QT with this adorable dog in the coming months - check out more pics of the duo below.

Do Tell: Who Does the Most Dog Duty in Your Family?

PetSugar — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 04:00:10 -0700

Sloooow down there, Bo - I wanna get a good look at you! We've seen both Barack and the girls taking care of the first pooch, and here's Michelle walking (or getting walked by) this cute pup. It's great to have a family of humans to chip in for the dog walking (especially for early morning or late night duties) but who's left holding the leash most often in your household?

Bo's getting so big and sporting a different dog accessory than last time! See for yourself in the gallery when you read more.

Do Tell: What's Your Take on Taxidermy?

PetSugar — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 14:30:09 -0700

I didn't catch the 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards last night on TV, but I did stumble upon this photo today: a soap star holding a . . . stuffed cat. My web research reveals that Stacy Haiduk plays a delusional Mary Jane Benson (aka., Patty Williams after a facelift) on The Young and the Restless, and frequently confides in her cat, "Kitty."

So, naturally (unnaturally?), the actress chose to bring one of the prop cats to the ceremony - what looks like once-living, now-stuffed model is her date on the red carpet. I'm both captivated and creeped out by how lifelike this feline looks - I'd love to hear your takes on taxidermy in the comments below!

Largest Snake in Captivity Makes His Debut With Conan O'Brien!

PetSugar — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:10:45 -0700

Creepy crawlers blasted onto Conan last Friday - did you catch the episode? If you were loving that gigantic cockroach and feel the need to spy more reptiles and insects, check out the animals presented on this late-night show. Clearly Conan wasn't as into getting a close-up as the expert, Nigel Marven, but I loved seeing the animals (especially "Percival") - with appearances from a Goliath spider with a 10-inch leg span, a rare double-headed snake, and the largest python in captivity (365 pounds!), see the creatures . . . with only minimal blood lost in the process.

Super-Cute Video: Kittens in a Tissue Box From Jon Stewart

PetSugar — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:10:23 -0700

I imagine it's hard work being the country's most trusted newscaster, and if you tuned into The Daily Show last night, you can see what I mean. If you missed it, Jon Stewart put up the choice to cover healthcare reform . . . or a cute kitten video. He looked just as torn up as I felt when healthcare won out. So, to satisfy my kitty craving, I dug up the entire video he showed for just a few seconds: three cats playing in a tissue box. Awww-dorable!

The Night's Brandon McMillan Sheds Light on His Wild Side

PetSugar — Wed, 13 May 2009 09:00:20 -0700

Move over Travis from Greatest American Dog! There's a new handsome animal-loving fella on during primetime. Brandon McMillan, 31-year-old animal trainer and host of Animal Planet's The Night, is a nature lover's dreamboat. He has no formal training himself, but he's trained lions, bears, tigers and reptiles for flicks like The Jungle Book II, I Am Sam and TV shows 24 and Jackass.

His current show, The Night, which premiered last month and airs Wednesday nights at 10 p.m., is a dark look at what happens in the wild when the rest of us are cozied up in bed. Brandon goes on expeditions around the world to catch rare animal behaviors at night on camera. He recently chatted with OK!:

On his unusual job: When girls ask me what I do and I say I'm a wild animal trainer, they think I'm lying. I was telling a story in a bar and the bartender thought I was drunk and kicked me out.

On dangerous dates: My perfect date would be sitting in a Land Rover in Africa with a bottle of wine and some snacks...watching a lion kill.

On being fearless: I've had lions, snakes, leopards and buffalo come at me. I've been bitten, but I've never truly been attacked. Ninety-nine point nine percent of people who are attacked don't live to tell the tale.

Jon and Kate Plus 8 Do Tell: Would You Hire a Pet Sitter For a Couple Hours?

PetSugar — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 14:00:45 -0700

On last night's episode of Jon and Kate Plus 8, Shooka and Nala had just a bit role . . . but one that gave me food for thought. With Jon and Cara in Utah and Kate and the rest of the gang off to see Sesame Street Live!, the Gosselins hired a dog sitter to hang out with the puppies for the day. Must be nice! I understand sitters for overnight trips, and walks during the day, but have you ever hired a pet sitter for just a few hours of absence?
