It’s alright, Miley Cyrus has a new dog
By Andy Malt | Published on Tuesday 1 July 2014
Miley Cyrus has a new dog. Shut up, yes it is news. The news (yes it IS) comes just over two months after the death of the singer’s previous pet, Floyd, which prompted a distraught Cyrus to post on Facebook that she wished “he would’ve taken me with him”.
The new puppy, a rough collie, became Miley’s last week, and has taken the name Emu Coyne Cyrus – I think because he’s the puppy of Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne’s dog, but maybe don’t quote me on that. Either way, please don’t think that this means Miley has forgotten Floyd. You don’t get over a relationship like that in two months.
Writing on Instagram, she said: “I welcomed Emu Coyne Cyrus into the family a couple days ago. Been keepin him a secret cause sometimes I’m weird like that. It’s taken some time to be ready for this next step and loving again. There will never be anyone like Floyd. There was a bond that was so deep it’s irreplaceable but that’s not what I am trying to do. Never will I replace Floyd and that’s something I had to take time to understand”.
She added: “We had a very special memorial service for Floyd and I felt my angel Floydy give Emu his blessing. I prayed to Floyd to just give him a touch of his awesomeness and he has. He is so special and different than my baby Floyd and I think Floyd did that on purpose. But sometimes he does little things that remind me of him and it makes me smile. I’m blissed the out right now. I feel like this is a new beginning in so many ways. I feel a change coming on”.
Well, it’s good to know that the ghost of her dead dog gave his blessing. If you were wondering what Emu looks like (I know you were), Miley has put a few photos up on Instagram too. Here she is with the dog. And here she is taking a shower with the dog. And here they are with superimposed jewels. And here’s what the dog would look like if it wore sunglasses. And here’s Miley kissing the dog. Here’s the dog on its own after a good dig. Here’s Miley trying to eat the dog. Here they are having another shower. And here’s the dog having a well-earned rest.
Now I just hope Fiona Apple’s OK.
