Mariah Carey is grandmother to a Jack Russell puppy

Earlier this year, Nick Cannon gave his wife Mariah Carey a very special anniversary present – a puppy! The puppy was a Jack Russell terrier, and Mariah named her Cha-Cha. Well, Cha-Cha got knocked up, and she had to have an emergency c-section. Get this – Mariah flew in her “personal vet” from Los Angeles to New York to perform the C-section. Mother dog and newborn puppy are doing well, and Mariah is showing off her grand-puppy while out and about with Nick in Aspen Colorado.

This puppy is really, really cute. I’ve heard Jack Russells are big pains, though. Like, they’re hyperactive and need a ton of exercise, something they’re not going to get if Mariah has an entourage specifically to carry her from place to place. This one looks very docile, so maybe I heard wrong. Or maybe he’s just exhausted from dealing with his grandmother.

By the way, I have no idea what Mariah named her grand-puppy. Perhaps, Butterfly Angel Razzle Dazzle? That’s my guess.

Also – Mariah’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” is the most played Christmas song of the past decade. Well done, Mariah!
