RHONDA BURCHMORE ME & MY PET
THE MEDIA PERSONALITY TALKS ABOUT HER POOCHES
She might be entertainment royalty and set to star in new show All Together Now, but Rhonda Burchmore loves the simple things like spending time at home with her poodles. Here she tells us all about them. MY PET’S NAME IS… Zorro! After the movie, The Mask Of Zorro. He thinks everyone loves him – he is very handsome and a flirt.
MY PET’S NICKNAME.
I call him, “Mummy’s boy”. WHERE I BOUGHT MY PETS. My dogs are standard poodles and I chose them because they are super intelligent and don’t shed fur. I got them from the breeder of standard poodles that has bred these wonderful dogs for 30 years and has won every medal in the dog shows. But, I have them as pets, not show dogs. WHAT MY PETS MEAN TO ME. Everything – unconditional love. MY PETS AND I LOVE...… Walking and chilling on my lap at night with a movie and a nice wine. And, Zorro wakes me up every morning with a little kiss on my cheek, then snuggles his wet nose on my pillow. MY PET’S FUNNY HABIT IS…… Zorro loves the camera! Anytime media is around he poses in front of the camera to have his picture taken. MY PET’S FAVOURITE TOY IS...… He doesn’t play with toys – but he loves his blanket. And, his favourite treat is pigs’ ears. DOES MY PET SLEEP IN BED? No – my husband would kill me! MY PET’S SCARY VET VISIT… When Zorro was a puppy his back legs froze and he needed to have a hip operation.
SIGNIFICANT OTHER OR PET?
Couldn’t choose between – I love them both. WOULD I LIKE MORE PETS? I love dogs – I would have as many as I could look after and have space for!
