Selena Gomez is making the best of her time at home right now by expanding her family by one … puppy. The singer shared clips on Instagram Live on Monday, March 23, introducing fans and followers to her new pal. “Winnie is here,” she said of her older dog (via Elle ). “And I would like to introduce my new family member Daisy!” She went on to say “Winnie and Daisy are getting along very well. And I know a few friends who are fostering right now just to give animals a safe place. But I couldn’t help it. I have to keep her. Right?” She then told the pups to “go play.” “I got Daisy a week ago. And she’s so sweet. And Winnie is like big brother mode for sure,” Selena continued. “I’ve been in lockdown,” she said. “I have not really left — well, I have left my house just to see my sister.” Selena then asked viewers to please taking the stay-at-home mandate seriously. “To me, I can’t wrap my head around people not taking lives that serious. It’s not to say it’s to be hurtful toward anyone else. It’s just, it’s really hard to see ’cause I have grandparents and they’re with me. I have a 6-year-old sister who can’t be in school right now so I haven’t been on this too much just for the sake of praying for you guys and honestly figuring it out for myself, trying to read and not go crazy,” she said to the camera. As for her activities? Selena said she’s taking a break from new music since her “label shut down.” Instead, she said she’s been Netflixing like the rest of us — and hoping everyone comes out of this OK. “We’re thinking of you,” she said in closing on behalf of her family, “… and we love you all, and I am praying for all of you.” If you want to foster a fur-friend during this crisis but are concerned about the cost, CNN recently reported the organization Susie’s Senior Dogs will cover the cost of fostering a pup in need at no charge to you.
