Ellen cries on her show

Now this is kind of sad really. I don't mean like "look at the dumb celebrity" sad either. I like Ellen DeGeneres and this whole deal sucks. She adopted a dog named Iggy and when things didn't work out between the pup and her cats, she went and found a good home for it with her hairdresser who has two kids. The adoption agency then stepped in and took the dog from the new family.

Last night, a rep from the agency came to the hairdresser's home, claiming Ellen violated the contract by not informing the agency of the hand-off. The rep demanded to take the dog away. Ellen' s position -- yeah, she should have notified the agency, but she found a loving home and isn't that what counts? The agency rep stuck to her guns and removed the dog with cops present. Ruby is heartbroken; reduced to tears.

Ellen says, "I kept saying, 'If you want to be mad at me, be mad at me, but don't take it out on the family. Don't take it out on the dog.'"

Those pet adoption agencies suck. We tried to adopt a pet before and our family was turned down twice. Since then, we ended up getting two dogs that have now been living a great and pampered life. It would have been great to rescue a dog rather then have one put to death eventually, but it's the agency's fault. It's like 6 questions to answer on a form only to get "sorry, you don't qualify."
