PLAYDOG INTERVIEW:
MR. KIBBLES
A candid conversation with TV’s favorite newly single pup on his recent divorce, career changes and chasing tail.
Can you tell us a bit about your recent divorce? Let’s just say marriage isn’t a walk in the dog park. I tried, you know? I tried to save my marriage but it just felt like I was barking up the wrong tree. I know she wanted our neighbor, Zeus, because he had a bigger bone than me. She denied it. But I knew. Boy, did we argue. She could barely stand to look at me. I was really in the dog house. I was even sleeping on the couch. Well, that was by choice. It’s comfortable. But still. After months of therapy, nothing changed. At that point, we both agreed it was
best if we split up. It’s hard sometimes, though. We live across the street from each other, so when I look outside the window of my owner’s home, I have to see her. Right there. Staring back at me from the window. It’s a constant reminder of my failures. Sometimes, our owners even walk us at the same time. We have to act civil. It’s terrible.
Any new love interests? It’s pretty recent, but there’s this lassie that lives down the block. I met her a few weeks ago. She’s got these big, brown, puppy dog eyes. They’re beautiful, they just lure you in. She makes me want to lay in the grass and roll around until I throw up. Don’t quote
me on this, because I think it might be too soon to say, but it might be… puppy love.
How’s your acting career going? Well, it’s a dog eat dog world out there for a dog that’s also an actor. Especially one that’s aging. I’m not the cute, lovable puppy I used to be. The fact of the matter is that I’m getting older, and that brings new challenges for my career. Apparently I’m too old to play the hot lead hound in thriller movies now. My agent keeps telling me that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” I don’t know what that’s all about. I learned how to handshake the other day, so she can go b*rk herself!
