Lauren Graham stars on that new show Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, which, I don’t know. I cannot seem to get excited about it from the clips, even though I like everyone in the cast. I guess it scratches the My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend itch? In addition to Zoey’s, Lauren also just started filming Disney+ new Mighty Ducks series that films in Vancouver, which turned out to be fortuitous because it allowed Lauren to add to a new fur baby to her family. Lauren said she found her new pup on the internet, fell in love, drove down to meet her and knew right away this sweet dumpling would become the newest member of her family. Lauren told Ellen DeGeneres the story – and brought pics. Look at her! *makes strangled noises in throat*

You got a puppy. And, it’s a rescue dog… What is she?
We think Lab, Shepherd and then, I took her in to the vet and they’re like, “and Rottweiler.” I was like, “she keeps getting smaller – wow.” Yeah, she’s kind of a big dog. I fell in love with her on the internet, which I hope is the closest I ever have to come to internet dating. But… there was something in her eyes and I’d been working in Vancouver and I drove to Washington state to pick her up. And I didn’t intending on taking her home that day, but one look in those big, brown eyes and “you’re coming with me!” I just put her in the car and now she’s my dog.

Every single time I set out just to “look” or “meet” a potential pet – cat or dog – I left with them. Once I ended up with his brother too (best decision I ever made). I mean, any time you get face to face with one of these furry angels, you’ll lose your heart to it, but driving across the border to meet the precious pup? Lauren had to know there would be no turning back. And who can blame her, look at that little face!

We don’t have a name for Lauren’s new little love, but hopefully she will be the subject of Lauren’s next book. Did you know Lauren was a best-selling author? Because I sure as hell didn’t. Honestly, sometimes I don’t know how I get away with calling myself a fan. Lauren has written a memoir, a novel and an advice book and I am just learning about all of them. She also runs an online book club. I also did not know that Lauren lives near Parenthood co-star, Dax Shepard. Since Lauren lives *with* Parenthood co-star Peter Krause, it’s like a family reunion every day.

Anyway, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist is on NBC and Hulu. If it’s good, please tell me so I can move it up my list.
