RIP: MIMI LA RUE

Celebrity pug, Mimi LaRue, has sadly passed away at the age of 11.  Mimi was the beloved dog of actress Tori Spelling.  "I’m devastated," Tori tells People magazine of her pet.  "She was not just a dog but a fashion icon and legend amongst Hollywood dogs…She received fan e-mail on a regular basis, and I often joked she got sent more designer clothes than me!" Mimi had been suffering from medical problems for years but died in the comfort of her home surrounded by Tori, husband Dean, Liam, 1, and newborn Stella.
"She was a loving pet and a true diva to the end," Tori adds.  Rest in peace Mimi La Rue…don’t fade away.

    I was so sad to hear of mimi’s passing. The main reason I watched their show was to get a passing glance of mimi larue in all her gloriousness. I have 2 pugs that are the world to me, one from a rescue. Maybe when the time is right another pug from the rescues could be in order. There are so many out there needing love.
