Britney Spears Finally Got Her Dogs Back
Last week, those of us who thought we had our Ph.D. in All Things Britney from All Things Britney University embarrassingly asked ourselves, “Wait, Britney got dogs after owning the legendary Bit Bit and also #WhatHappenedToBitBitAnyway?” when it was reported that there was recently some dog drama between Britney Spears and her housekeeper. Britney’s housekeeper was reportedly concerned about how her dogs were being treated and took them to the vet, which eventually led to Britney calling the police to report the theft of her dogs, which led to a fight between Britney and her housekeeper. Britney’s dogs are back in her house and in news that is the exact opposite of shocking, her housekeeper is no longer working for her.
Britney currently has two dogs: a Yorkie named Hannah and a Maltese named Lacey. We already heard that earlier this month, Britney’s housekeeper was worried about how Hannah and Lacey were being treated and took them to the vet. Hannah and Lacey didn’t come back home after their vet visit and nobody told Britney where they were. So she called the police on August 10 to report that the dogs were stolen from her. She eventually changed her mind about filing a police report. And last Monday, Britney reportedly confronted her housekeeper about where her dogs were. The housekeeper then showed Britney cellphone pictures she took of the sick dogs. One rule in Britney’s house is that people aren’t allowed to take pictures while inside. So Britney allegedly grabbed the housekeeper’s phone. The housekeeper claims that Britney hit her arm while grabbing her phone and filed a police report for battery. Britney denies ever touching her housekeeper and only grabbed the phone.
TMZ now has more information from sources who say that one of the dogs has bowel woes and both are on a special diet. When one of the dogs got the barfs after eating table scraps, the housekeeper took them to the vet.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … one of Britney’s two dogs has serious digestive issues and both dogs were supposed to be fed a special type of food. We’re told the housekeeper became alarmed when she saw the dogs regularly being fed table scraps … causing the pets to become very sick, especially the one with digestive issues.
The housekeeper also said both dogs were dehydrated from a lack of water … which ultimately caused her to take them to the vet.
Sources claim that the vet agreed that the dogs weren’t in great shape and decided that they shouldn’t go back to Britney’s house. Hannah and Lacey were given to Britney’s dogsitter who has been taking care of them. The sources add that Britney believed that her father/co-conservator, Jamie Spears, was behind all of this and grabbed her housekeeper’s phone, thinking that her housekeeper was going to send those pics to her dad.
Hannah and Lacey were reunited with Britney on Friday. The dogsitter is still working for Britney but the housekeeper is not.
The timing of this story is side-eye-worthy. I mean, just as Daddy Spears is getting pushed out as one of his daughter’s caretakers, TMZ publishes a story about how she hasn’t been taking care of her dogs? I’m going to need to hear from Hannah and Lacey Spears. And no, Daddy Spears, that isn’t your cue to put on a Yorkie costume and film a video of you saying, “Hello, this is Hannah Spears and we miss Daddy Spears!”
