Orlando Bloom Loves Dogs

photo courtesy of http://widgetbox.com

Orlando Bloom has been known to make many a lady swoon, but we swoon over his dogs.

Pictured above with Sidi, Orlando is proud papa to two dogs, the other being Essa. And he takes them with him everywhere…they even accompany him to movie sets and locations, all over the world. Certainly gives new meaning to the term ‘globe-trotting’ doesn’t it?

The star of such block busters asĀ  the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is a man after our own hearts – he adopted his canine friends from a street market in Morocco while filming Kingdom of Heaven.

And how glossy does Sidi look in the photo above? I wonder if Sidi gets the royal treatment from Orlando…

Halle Berry – Animal Lover

two lucky pups!

Halle Berry. Oscar winner and all-round gorgeous person (who had a gorgeous baby with another gorgeous person…) loves animals.

Her love affair started when she was in the film Catwoman. Known for ‘living’ her roles, Halle Berry wanted to understand the ways of the cat. Which, if she’d asked any cat owner, anywhere, they’d have more than happy to tell her the ways of all cats…but I digress… Halle wanted to understand cats so she adopted one of the cat extras on the film (a catextra?), whom she named Playdough.

Of course this led to her adopting another cat, named Spanky.

Clearly not satisfied with her animal collection, she decided to balance it out with two pretty white Malteses, Polly and Willy. That’s them up there in the picture. Looking spoiled, shiny and healthy, not to mention happy. Hey, who wouldn’t be happy, being carried around by the legendary Halle Berry?

I wonder what organic luxury pet products she uses on her dogs to get them looking so barkingly good?

Oh, and kudos for adopting some members of her pet family. Everyone should adopt an animal.

Posh Pigs

And they are very posh, indeed.

As you may have heard, the latest celeb to jump on the teacup pig craze is Victoria ‘Posh’ Beckham. The former spice girl, married to soccer star David Beckham bought two teacup piglets.

The piglets are living in luxury on the Beckhams’ English estate. Which makes sense, considering the family spent over $2,000 on the piglet pair.

Of course, the names for the pigs are up in the air.

Posh wants to name them David and Elton, after her friends Elton John and his partner, David Furnish. Hmm, not sure how well that would go down with Elton, especially after his recent bout of flu and other complications that landed him in hospital (thank goodness it wasn’t swine flu…). And Becks wants to call them Pinky and Perky.

What do you think is the better name?

Teacup pigs are all the rage right now, but before you jump on the bandwagon along with all the celebrities, think it through. They don’t stay that size. They grow quite big. So make sure you have the room in your life for a pig. If you really want one, then we suggest checking out the pig rescue sites, where you can adopt a pig that’s been abandoned.

I wonder what the next pet craze shall be…?

Flossie, Drew Barrymore’s Heroic Dog

Drew & Flossie

After Bond’s blog entry, we thought it entirely right to honour celebrity dogs, especially those who are bonafide heroes.

Like Drew Barrymore’s chow/labrador mix, Flossie.

Flossie was rescued from a Pasadena flea market way back in 1996 by Drew, and Flossie quickly became like a daughter to Drew. But it was in 2001 that Flossie really showed her true colours.

Drew and her then-husband, Tom Green, were sleeping when a fire broke out. Flossie’s wild barking and loud thumping on the closed bedroom door woke the couple and saved their lives.

Whoever said the ‘ordinary’ could never do the extraordinary was completely wrong.

And Flossie is more than a heroic dog, she’s also a fashionista! Drew encourages Flossie to chew on her new jeans to give them that perfect distressed look.

We wonder if Flossie and Drew will get invites to Bond’s fund-raising cruise?

And please, send us your stories of heroic pets – we’d love to hear them.
