Earlier this year, Nick Cannon gave his wife Mariah Carey a very special anniversary present – a puppy! The puppy was a Jack Russell terrier, and Mariah named her Cha-Cha. Well, Cha-Cha got knocked up, and she had to have an emergency c-section. Get this – Mariah flew in her “personal vet” from Los Angeles to New York to perform the C-section. Mother dog and newborn puppy are doing well, and Mariah is showing off her grand-puppy while out and about with Nick in Aspen Colorado.
This puppy is really, really cute. I’ve heard Jack Russells are big pains, though. Like, they’re hyperactive and need a ton of exercise, something they’re not going to get if Mariah has an entourage specifically to carry her from place to place. This one looks very docile, so maybe I heard wrong. Or maybe he’s just exhausted from dealing with his grandmother.
By the way, I have no idea what Mariah named her grand-puppy. Perhaps, Butterfly Angel Razzle Dazzle? That’s my guess.
Also – Mariah’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is the most played Christmas song of the past decade. Well done, Mariah!

I wonder if her other jack russel “Jack” was the father…then she’d be a grandmother on both sides…
Jack Russells are full of energy though, they can jump really high.

How cool is that for a vet? You get flown in for a section on a Jack Russell by Mariah Carey. Great looking pup and Nick looks so thrilled, he’s throwing f-bombs.

The father’s name is J.J. The new puppy’s name is Dolomite. She was on George Lopez’s new late night show last week and told him all about it.

jack russells grate my nerves, as do most small breeds. LOVE large breed dogs, tho.
have to admit, the puppy is cute, but he’s gonna grow up and be a noisy pain in someone’s a$$.

If I had as much money as her, I would get my vet flown in too. It’s so hard to find a good vet and in an emergency situation I couldn’t imagine taking my dogs to a vet I’ve never met before.

So, no one else thinks it was weird that she brought her heavily pregnant dog across the country? She flew her vet over for an emergency (lucky it was the kind of emergency that could wait a couple of hours…) but couldn’t she just have left the poor dog at home with a friend?
If I had as much money as she does, I would hire an awesome dogsitter for my pregnant dog. Then, I would pay my excellent personal vet to SPAY MY DOG.

@princess pea, ITA! Unless you’re a breeder, I don’t see why anyone wouldn’t get their pets desexed. It’s just irresponsible.

Mariah must have one great publicist for this non-story to make the news.

“Mariah Carey is grandmother to a Jack Russell puppy”
I warn ye, rant ahead…
No. No, she isn’t. Listen, I love animals. I have never NOT had multiple pets, be they dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, birds, or squirrels (yes, squirrels) and I’d cut a bitch if they messed with my beloved mini schnauzers…but the whole concept of pets being babies/children/furbabies (that one REALLY sets my teeth on edge) is just *wrong*.
Dogs are incapable of viewing humans as “parents” (pack leaders, yes, parents, no). When they cutely “kiss” us by licking our mouths, their instinct is, ‘This will make him/her regurgitate what they ate so I can eat it’.
There was a book that came out recently, “Secret Language of Dogs” or something, that plumbs into all that in more depth.
I hate sounding negative about pets, since I love my own and have run the whole “Stages of Grief” when any of them have died…but I just find it ridiculous to anthropomorphize pets (especially dogs) the way we do.

I adore Jack Russells! I used to have two. They make wonderful pets and are full of energy. Also great at catching mice. That puppy melts my cynical jaded heart!

Jack Russell’s are crazy dogs. Enough said.
