Jennifer Aniston’s dog doesn’t like John Mayer, barks & growls at him


Note by Celebitchy: Sammie wrote this cute piece about Jennifer Aniston’s dog not approving of John Mayer. I think we can file this one under the same creative fiction as her fall wedding and non-baby, but it’s a funny story and I wanted to publish it. Aniston also looked pretty amazing when she was photographed yesterday outside her agent’s office.


All the Jennifer Aniston buzz is about her rumored marriage and baby with ladies’ man John Mayer, but maybe the two need to make an appearance on Animal Planet’s It’s Me or the Dog before they get too serious. According to Globe, Jennifer’s beloved dog Norman doesn’t like John at all.

“John is crazy about dogs, but for some reason, Norman has taken a strong dislike to him,” says an insider. “He’s become very protective of Jen lately and barks and growls every time John comes to the house. Naturally, Jennifer is upset because she dotes on Norman and treats him like a child. As much as she loves John, she’d never consider getting rid of her ‘baby.'”

To try and help the two boys in her life get along, Globe reports Jennifer consulted an animal behaviorist, who suggested John spend more one-on-one time with Norman by feeding and walking him.

Obviously, Jennifer didn’t consult the Dog Whisperer, who would suggest something much more severe to show Norman who was pack leader.

No word on whether John is taking the behaviorist’s advice, but if he wants to marry Jennifer, he’ll need to at least give it a try. Jennifer told Star why she loves her dogs so much:

It’s nice to open your door and have somebody run to you and jump on you and kiss you because they cannot believe you are actually back. They are so excited; they love you. It’s quite simple.

[From Star, print edition, August 11, 2008]

Coincidentally (or maybe not), Jennifer and John first went public with their relationship while Jennifer was in Miami filming Marley & Me, the story of a married couple who adopt an unruly puppy.

Jennifer takes her two dogs everywhere and does seem to find comfort in having Norman and Dolly with her. If Norman really does dislike John, then Jennifer should dump John right away. I may be a cat person, but I know that an animal’s instincts are much better than a person’s when it comes to romantic interests. Trust your dog, Jen!

    Consulting a dog psychiatrist? How very ritzy of Jen. In complete honesty, I find it entirely adorable when my 3 year old pomeranian gets vicious with any men I might bring home.

    I mean, what’s more precious than watching a full grown man cower as a pint sized pup goes for their carotid?

  2. I choose me says:

    She does look amazing. Gotta say she has one of the hottest bods in Hollyweird.

  3. Kaiser says:

    Perhaps the dog smells the dick rot?

    Sorry, had to say it. But she does look good here, but the belt is overkill.

  4. Snowblood says:

    Sammie’s right. “Trust your dog, Jen” is right! Animal instincts are NEVer off. John Mayer’sa just gonna break her heart, she’s putting far too much stock in this brand-new relationship far too early, and that guy’s creepy. I don’t like him at all. Something about Mayer rubs me the wrong way.

  5. geronimo says:

    Don’t care if this story is made up or not: dogs KNOW. Listen to Norman, Jen.

  6. Payton says:

    Jen is going to get her heart broken again. John is too young to settle down. Mayer is a huge upgrade from Vince Vaughn. Vinnie always looked dirty & smelly!

  7. anastasiabeaverhausen says:

    IF this is true, she should listen to her dog.

    And she does look nice in that header pic–I’m glad her nipples aren’t on display for once.

  8. someone says:

    Im not so sure about dogs always knowing..I have a best friend, and I have 2 dogs…my collie absolutely loves her..and my beagle absolutely hates her….I have to put chelsie my beagle , in the back yard every time she visits.

  9. Lana says:

    This is retarded. My dog barks and growls anytime anyone at all knocks on the door and when they first enter. 30 seconds later he is all over them trying to get some lovin’.

    I’m getting a little sick of the “insider” and “sources” making up crap about these two. Oh, she wants a baby! She’s forcing him to move in! She’s planning the wedding and serving water! It’s all such bullshit. Not a word of it is true.

    Does anyone know where she got this dress?

  11. daisy424 says:

    Old Navy?

    Sorry lolina, I couldn’t resist.

  12. Missy says:

    Some male pets like to be the only “man” in the house. My dog didn’t like my boyfriend either.

  13. lb says:

    I seriously doubt this is true. There have been photos printed of John walking her dog alone on several occasions. If he didn’t like John I doubt he would go anywhere with him.

  14. DLR says:

    I’ve heard of animals being good judges of character. The same thing goes for cats. If Jennifer’s dogs are nasty toward John, but okay toward other guys, then she should really think about what it is that makes her dogs not like John.

  15. Whitey Fisk says:

    Old Navy! Daisy424 that’s pretty good!

    Kaiser, literally that exact sentence went through my mind when I read this headline, word for word. Spooooky.

  16. fee says:

    Well they do day that animals can sense evil dont they??

    It seems as if Jennifer feels that she has to watch the clock and compete and I think, she thrives on looking good for the papparazis and tabloids and with John ( or whomever), to try to be sure that Brad Pitt doesn’t forget her. At the same time, I say this without judgment, or malevolence …I know what it’s like to believe in finding The Love of Your Life – and I have no idea what I would go through if I lost my husband to someone else. I can’t even bear to think about it. have had a fight now and again and I thought that maybe it was over – thank God it wasn’t and to even try to imagine how I would survive with my essential self intact and sane without him, well – I imagine it is far easier said than done. Maybe she ought to be open to meeting some guys who aren’t in show business. Brad Pitt one said that he could only be with a woman in his same line of work – but that doesn’t mean the same needs to be true for Ms nniston. Maybe she needs to take a different route to find True LKove everlasting. In either case – my heart is with her – Choosing a guy who openly expreses that he’s not goofd permanent realtionship material is honest of him -maybe this is like a conquest challenge thing for her?

    The dog has better taste than she does.

  19. brianne says:

    It may sound a little ridiculous I know, but I have a hard time liking people that my dog dislikes…but then again its a rarity that she dislikes anybody so I just automatically assume its for a good reason! Even if it wasnt for a good reason though, I’d never get rid of my dog for a boyfriend!

    Norman misses Brad.
