Dogs, Celebrities & Custody Battles II:

Celebrity custody fights over their dogs, collected from the Huffington Report, TMZ and others:

         In 2009, Jennifer Love Hewitt and her former fiancée Ross McCall announced they were having an “amicable” split.  Then they got into a battle about who got custody of their dog, Mona, and things got a lot less amicable. 

           A “source” revealed to one New York sleazy newspaper that, when the dog was with Hewitt, she tried to change its name so later when McCall called it, the dog wouldn’t come.

         The stars of Jon and Kate Plus 8, Jon and Kate Gosselin, had arguments about who would get their two German shepherds, Shoka and Nala, which they bought during a 2009 series episode. 

           Later, Jon returned the dogs to the breeder after complaining that Kate refused to care for the dogs in his absence.  That was in addition to battles about who was or was not unfaithful and custody of the eight children.  When the dust settled, Kate took one of the dogs back.

Dogs, Celebrities & Custody Battles I

         Celebrity custody fights over their dogs, collected from the Huffington Report, TMZ and others:

         Charlie Sheen Twittered on March 28, 2011 that his ex=wife is a “loser whore” and a dog thief – not the best way to settle custody of his two pugs.  He wrote on his Tweet site which has 3 million followers, "We must bombard with Warlock Napalm, that traitor and loser whore #DUH-neese POOR-ards. a vile kidnapper and now dog thief. hate," he wrote on his account, which has more than 3 million followers.

           According to TMZ, Richards was told that two of Sheen's pugs were being mistreated, so she took them both. Unfortunately, one of them died – also not the best way to make a separation pleasant.                                    

            This tweet comes as a surprise. Richards has been supportive of Sheen throughout his recent ordeal, and Sheen, in turn, would only say nice things about his ex.                           Richards and Sheen have two daughters together, Lola and Sam, and now one pug.
