First off, I had no idea other celebrities existed besides Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and anyone with a crazy set of fake tits. (Who the hell is Ellen DeGeneres? What is a dog?) Much like you, I’m frightened and confused. Maybe, after this post, will you just hold me? Thanks. FOX News has the details:
DeGeneres explained on her show that the Brussels Griffon terrier mix didn’t get along with her cats, so she gave it to her hairstylist’s family. The owners of Mutts and Moms claimed that DeGeneres violated the adoption agreement by not informing them that she was giving the dog away and removed Iggy from the hairstylist’s home Sunday. As a result of the publicity, Marina Batkis and Vanessa Chekroun received voice mail and e-mail threats of death and arson.
Apparently the adoption agency feel Ellen’s hairdresser’s family is unfit:
Fink said Moms and Mutts has a rule that families with children under 14 are not allowed to adopt small dogs.
“It’s for the protection of the dog,” he said
Man, it sounds like these adoption folks are in some hot water. They’re going to need some dirt on Ellen to dig their way out of this one. Dirt which I just so happen to have. Yep, for a small fee I could be enticed to hand over photos of Ellen eating a kitten. I’ve got them right here in my – oh, wait, my bad. It’s Owen Wilson at a pig roast. You can see how I got them confused, right? Because they’re both blonde and, you know, lesbians.
I am sooo glad I am not 69. I thought I’d post to bring that special someone closer to their ultimate dream of being “69″.
I like 69.
You’re premature- hell you’re prolly underage too. Get a gas mask and come back in about 17 posts. Then dive in. Like I always say- Better you than me.
Mutts and Mom’s or whatever it’s called is prolly pissed because they could have gotten the dog back and sold it again for another thousand bucks in “administration fees” Don’t be a baby lady, just be a lady baby.
dear writer,
please don’t ever write
‘my bad’ again,.. it’s
embarrassing
She should have called Cesar Millan. He rehabilitates dogs…..he trains people.
Good. I hope some of those crazies try to carry out their threats. I have a dog, I love my dog, but I fucking hate ‘dog people.’ You know, those fucking losers whose self esteem is so low for whatever reason that they surround themselves with dogs as a substitute for human contact and human relationships. They know EVERYTHING there is to know about dogs (they think they do, anyway) and are impossibly holier-than-thou about any disagreements that crop up over canine care. They call their dogs their ‘kids’ and refer to themselves in the third person as “Mummy” or “Daddy” when addressing the dogs. See, these are terrified, pathetic little people who feel they’ve no control over their lives so they maniacally control dogs’ lives, and, by extension, the lives of those to whom they’ve been gracious enough to permit a dog. When Ellen gave the dog away, they dog people lost that control and that sent their sad little neuroses spinning. I fucking hate ‘dog people.’
@57 You are correct sir! Especially this sentence ” When Ellen gave the dog away, they dog people lost that control and that sent their sad little neuroses spinning.” That’s it in a nutshell.
Poor girl … Have you seen her telling how much she misses the dog in this TMZ video? (http://www.weshow.com/us/p/19802/ellen_degeneres_drama)
In this video Ellen explains why she decided to tell the drama is her program. Although I’ve found Ellen’s attitude ridiculous, I just don’t understand why not to let the girl stay with the dog.
I’ve lost all respect for Ellen. She signed a contract. She broke the contract. Then, she uses her considerable public position to whine about the contract holder exercising their rights to the dog of the contract.
If she hadn’t broken the contract, her hairdresser’s kids wouldn’t have become attached to a dog that was then taken away.
Because people are such sheep and Ellen is one of their shepards … she can do no wrong. That’s BS … she messed up. That’s ok, we all do, but she’s using her starpower to try and blur her misconduct.
The fact that that the organization who took the dog back may be wrong is not the issue. The contract is the issue. Now, this organization has death threats against them. I’m sure this whole thing is taking time away from dogs needing homes.
Ellen blew it. She’s fallable. She’s imperfect … like the rest of us.
Be a stand up gal, Ellen, and admit you’re shortcomings.

@60 Based on the tone of your post, it seems pretty clear that you lost all respect for Ellen long before this incident (if you ever had any). I believe you are simply glad to see her suffer for whatever reason.
That the dog people were wrong to take the dog is the ENTIRE issue. To suggest that is all about the ‘contract’ is no different from citing archaic sodomy laws in condemning a man about to be imprisoned for sexual acts he committed in the privacy of his own home. Injustice that hides behind the letter of law or the language of a fleetingly-signed pseudo-document is still injustice.
No, this whole fiasco is all about the psychology of ‘dog people.’ It has come out that the shelter in question has in the past placed small dogs in households with children – the hairdresser’s children were therefore obviously not the real issue. If these dog people were truly concerned with the dogs, they at most would have had a look at the hairdresser’s household, then said, “Thank you for giving Iggy a home and seeing to his needs. Thank you for adopting him rather than going out and buying a dog.” But, of course, they didn’t. This has sadly been about nothing more than jealously guarding the small measure of power that they have claimed as proprietors of an animal shelter.
yeah, well doesn’t seem fair that the agency is taking the dogs away from a good home, some people are just as egotistical as much as a whaling, silly elle degernerate. i am ashamed of her as a woman. even as a straight woman.
Totally support the rescue folks…if you break the contract, you lose the dog. Ellen shouldn’t be pissing and whining on her show because she didn’t like the dog and gave it away which her and her partner said they wouldn’t do. Dont go whining to the public and try to bully your way around. It’s petty and childish and completely in character for lots of Hollywood types but I wouldn’t have expected it of her. The rescue folks COULD have done a home visit for the other family but they weren’t obligated to do so…face it, Ellen and partner could have followed the rules but they didn’t…tough shit for them, life’s hard. THEY broke the kids heart, not the rescue folks…
I did a parody of a Mutts and Moms blog, it’s at http://mutsmoms.blogspot.com.
is that pic owen wilson tryin to cover up his smack dilated pupils?
Wayne Pacelle of The Humane Society of the United States commented on the situation yesterday: http://hsus.typepad.com/wayne/2007/10/ellen-dog.html. He says Mutts & Moms threw common sense out the window.
@61 “It has come out that the shelter in question has in the past placed small dogs in households with children” Credible Link please.
you are so wrong you take that back how would you like if you were a dog and somebody took you and killed you. little dogs shouldent be put down. Guess what I have a toy poodle the sweetist little angle. GUESS HOW OLD HE IS 10,10 YEARS WITH ME and I also have to more. One of the died because he got ran over because of my carelessness of leaving the door open. And I stand up for the dogs THE SMALL DOGS.
