Nick Lachey gave an interview with "Access Hollywood" in which he lamented about how the loss of Jessica Simpson's maltipoo Daisy (as I referred to as "Nick Lachey's Dog of Emasculation) affected him too -- even though he was totally unfairly left out of the media coverage.

"I think a lot of people forget that Daisy was my dog too -- for years," Nick said.

The former "Newlyweds" star admits his thoughts have been with his ex-wife, Jessica, over the last few weeks after learning about Daisy's fate. "I didn't reach out to her," he said. "I'm sure she was upset... I was upset... It was sad to hear that happened, but it's part of the cycle of life." (Source)

Don't get me wrong -- I'm sure most guys would probably be pretty sad to hear that their ex-wife's foofey white designer dog ate it. But according to my calculations, Daisy was five years old when she was dragged off to maltipoo heaven in the hungry jaws of a coyote, and Nick and Jessica split up in 2005. So technically, Daisy was his dog "for year," singular. But I guess getting simple facts wrong is just part of the grieving process.
