May 18, 200916 yr The Sun has finally caught up with the Blog I see :rolleyes: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...icle2435837.ece Mutt be love for Robbie Published: 19 May 2009 TIMES may be tough but ROBBIE WILLIAMS is still splashing the cash on some transatlantic puppy love. The minted former TAKE THAT star has been missing his beloved mutts Little Wallee and The Poops so much he has been flying back to his former LA home every couple of weeks just to visit them. Rob moved to a £7million pile in Wiltshire last year and he blogged: “We’ve come back to see the dogs. Because of quarantine they have to have jabs then wait six months before they’re deemed fit enough to join us in England.” Eleven hours each way in first class at £4,000 a pop — that’s serious doggie dedication.
