Really, I can’t believe how much bandwidth and air time we’re all wasting on this Ellen DeGeners dog thing. Here’s the deal. Ellen signed and agreement, and she broke the agreement, plain and simple. Anyone who has ever adopted a pet from a shelter knows there’s more involved in it than writing out a check and going home. Hell, when we adopted our two kittens we had to wait a week, along with several other applicants, to be sure we were the right family. I get it.
There are rules and Ellen broke them, no matter how well-intentioned. And I do believe she’s using her fame and her show to bring undue attention to this matter because she’s a little pissed off. An abuse of power when you think about it.
But I digress…
The shelter that took the dog back, Mutts and Moms, found little Iggy a new home. The owners of the of shelter are reported to be home and “distraught” over threats received from Ellen’s posse over this whole incident. After Ellen went on the air on Tuesday to weep over poor Iggy (this is me rolling my eyes) a spokesperson for Mutts and Moms said,”She (Marina) is not going to give them the dog,” said Fink, who is not legally representing the owners but is authorized to speak on their behalf.
“She doesn’t think this is the type of family that should have the dog. She is adamant that she is not going to be bullied around by the Ellen DeGenereses of the world … They are using their power, position and wealth to try to get what it is they want.”
I hear ya.
I can’t stand her.
[…] me a river, Ellen DeGeneres. All of this Iggy business has Ellen feeling so sad she canceled tapings of her show for Friday and Monday. Poor […]
