‘Absolute Logistical Nightmare’: Lily Allen Returned Adopted Puppy After It Ate Family Passports

by

As a dedicated follower of Lily Allen‘s life and career, I find myself deeply moved by her recent experiences with her adopted dog and the subsequent impact it had on her family’s travels. The story serves as a stark reminder that even the smallest, seemingly innocent actions can have far-reaching consequences.

More casually: Lily Allen, a British singer and actress, had quite a pickle when her pet dog (who they’d adopted) gobbled up their children’s passports! This mishap kept her kids from going on a visit with their dad, Sam Cooper, who lived in London at the time. In frustration, Lily ended up returning the pooch to the animal shelter where it had originally come from.

In a recent episode of her Miss Me podcast, which aired on August 22 with co-host Steve Jones, Allen talked about her adopted pet dog. She mentioned that they had already adopted the dog as a team, but then it destroyed her passport, so she returned the dog to its original home.

After the unfortunate event, the artist known as Not Fair found herself extremely upset since it occurred amidst the pandemic. She shared that she accidentally ate all three of our passports, which held our visas. Replacing them cost her a significant amount of money, and due to the pandemic, the process turned into a massive logistical challenge for her, as she described it as a “nightmare.”

Although the financial side of things didn’t cause distress for her, it was deeply painful to watch her children not able to see their father. Residing in New York with her husband, David Harbour (known for his roles in Stranger Things and Thunderbolts), Allen shared a challenging situation. With the father of her kids residing in England, they couldn’t travel to visit him for several months due to their passports being destroyed by their dog. “I found it hard to look at her,” she confessed, further stating, “It felt like I was saying, ‘You’ve disrupted my life.'”

Allen also mentioned that apart from the passports, the dog had caused more damage. Regardless of her attempts to train it, the dog’s behavior continued to be disorderly, as she put it, “the dog was extremely misbehaved.” At 39 years old, she candidly confessed that the situation became overwhelming in the end.

It’s unclear which puppy of Allen’s consumed the passports, but as per a Daily Mail article, Allen welcomed a dog named Mary into her family in 2021, after adopting her from Animal Haven, a charity located in New York City.

The artist additionally established an Instagram page specifically for their pet, but updates ceased suddenly following the publication of a handful of pictures featuring the dog.

Moving forward from a past chapter, it appears the actor/singer is ready to embark on a fresh experience by potentially welcoming a new puppy into her household within the next few weeks. During a recent podcast, she expressed her enthusiasm about this addition, and shared that her daughters were particularly excited, as they have already chosen a name for the Chihuahua mix they intend to adopt.

Regarding her new passport, Allen explained that she continues to use her ex-husband Sam’s last name, despite marrying the Black Widow actor. She mentioned that she hasn’t updated her surname due to having two children with her former spouse, stating it can be difficult for travel when your children don’t share the same name. Since her ex was resistant to changing their kids’ last names to ‘Harbour,’ Allen opted to maintain her previous surname.

Additionally, she admitted that it could be annoying for Harbour since they have combined banking, and “having, you know, me possessing an American Express Card bearing the name of my former spouse.”
