'Teen Mom' Jenelle Evans Announces New Pet Dog: 'Meet Rosey'
"Meet Rosey!" That's what Jenelle told her followers on Wednesday.
The former "Teen Mom" star announced that her family has a new furry friend in a blog post shared on her website. Complete with pictures of the dark-haired pup, she detailed what led her to purchase another pet and addressed (sort of) the concerns that many fans no doubt had in their minds.
"Back in November of 2019 I left my home in North Carolina and ended up moving to Nashville, TN. When I arrived I wanted to make the kids feel as comfortable as possible. I thought the best way to do this was to buy a dog," the mother of three began.
"Yes, I know what you’re thinking, 'Jenelle is crazy!'," she continued. "Sometimes I have the best ideas, and sometimes I don’t. This idea turned out to be a good one."
Jenelle goes on to detail her process of buying a pup -- from researching all the way through to purchase.
Jenelle's blog post seemed to be a direct response to a report that TMZ posted in the wee hours of the morning. The outlet reported that she and David Eason, with a few children in tow, were spotted out at a Walmart in North Carolina and had purchased dog supplies -- including a bed and food.
The 28-year-old confirmed the news and even though she explained her reasoning for purchasing Rosey, the decision still raised a few eyebrows for those who know the story of what happened to their previous dog.

"Hope this one doesn’t get dragged out to the woods and a bullet through it’s [sic] head," one Twitter user responded, referencing the incident in which David shot and killed Jenelle's French bulldog, Nugget.
The controversial moment ultimately led to MTV cutting ties with Jenelle in April 2019 (they had already cut ties with David in 2018). Months later, David tearfully explained his actions during an appearance on PeopleTV's "People Now" in September 2019.
"It was a situation where my daughter, her health, her safety was in danger," the 31-year-old said. "The dog was aggressive."
"When a dog bites a child on the face more than one time, then it should never be around the child again," he continued. "If you call the authorities at that point, the law says the dog has to be euthanized. I’m not going to pay anyone to euthanize my dog when I could do it myself."
"I mean, I loved that dog," David added, fighting back tears. "I still think about her every day. It’s really hard for me."
