Tori Spelling?s famous pug, Mimi LaRue, dies


I'm not a big Tori Spelling fan, but I did love her fabulous little pug, Mimi LaRue. Mimi was the only pug with her own entry on IMDB, and she could wear designer couture with appropriate fierceness. The dog basically stole the show in Tori's reality show, "Tori and Dean: Inn Love," in which the couple ran a bed and breakfast named Chateau LaRue, named after Mimi. She also made regular appearances on Tori's previous show, "So NoTORIous." Tori announced that Ms. LaRue passed away yesterday. She was 11 years old.

New mother Tori Spelling is mourning the death of her beloved pet dog Mimi LaRue, just a week after she welcomed new baby daughter Stella into the world.

The pooch died from natural causes on Tuesday, at age 11.

Spelling tells People.com, "She was a star and a true lady, and she will be missed greatly. People everywhere knew her by name. I loved when fans wanted her over me. I felt proud."

The actress reveals the pug had battled medical problems for years, and she says she believes the pooch waited until she had given birth to Stella on June 9, before dying.

Spelling adds, "I'm devastated. I'm convinced she waited around to make sure I had the daughter I always dreamt about before she left us."

Tori once said that she bought Mimi at a pet store, but would never consider doing that again, saying, "I wasn't aware." Condolences on her loss. One of my beloved golden retrievers, Astro, is getting up there in age as well- I don't even want to think about it!

Picture note by Celebitchy: Tori and Mim LaRue are shown below in 2004 and in the header in March, 2007 with Dean in front of the Inn. They kind of look alike. Thanks to PRPhotos and Splash.
