Miranda Lambert adds new dog to family
Miranda Lambert has added a new addition to her family - she's adopted a pooch she found on the side of the road.
The animal-loving Over You hitmaker has made a habit of rescuing stray dogs and over the last several months she has amassed quite the menagerie of canines and cats.
And last week (12May12) the country star discovered an abandoned
pup by a busy freeway.
In an angry post on Twitter.com, she wrote, "Found another dog this
am on the side of the road. In sad shape... I have 'dogdar' (dog
radar). They find me. And I hope I never see the people that dump
them. For thier (sic) sake. It won't be pretty."
Lambert planned on helping the dog find a suitable new home, but
the 28 year old confesses she has since grown attached to the pooch
she has named Loretta - presumably after pal and country legend
Loretta Lynn - and she's hoping husband Blake Shelton will let her
keep it.
Tweeting a photo of the tired black mutt, she adds, "New puppy I
found last week. Loretta! She will go to a new good home soon I
hope.:) or maybe she is (home) already. Hehe... Sweet Loretta on
her first bus ride. I'm gettin really attached:) shhh don't tell
Blake."
But it's unlikely Shelton will mind - in a recent In Touch magazine
article, the country singer says, "We’ve rescued at least 20 dogs,
as well as cats and horses... If Miranda’s as good with a human
being as she is with dogs, the kid’s going to be golden!"
