Venus Williams shares hairbrush with her dog
Venus Williams shares a hairbrush with her dog. The 44-year-old tennis legend travels everywhere with her beloved Havanese Harry and while she always carries a brush for her "super fragile" curls, she's been known to whip it out to comb out some tangles from her pet pooch too. Discussing what she always has in her bag, she told Us Weekly magazine: 'My hair's super fragile, so this is my go-to brush — it just helps those curls bounce. Harry has curly hair too, so every now and then I have to use my brush on him — then we have to get a new one!' Harry often travels in Venus' handbag alongside the brush. Asked about the most important item she keeps in her bag, Venus laughed: 'It's my boy Harold. Harry is 18 years old and comes everywhere with me. "He hates tennis balls, but I know he loves me.' Because she usually has her hands full with Harry, Venus is practical and opts for a mini phone carrier and wallet combo. She said: 'I'm always carrying my dog, so my purse needs to be attached to my phone. 'This one's so cute. It's perfect for parties, easy for airports, and easy if you're on the go.' The sportswoman never leaves home without a supply of vitamins, but has to stop herself from eating chewable Vitamin C like sweets. She said of her craft box of supplements: 'You got the staples like Vitamin C, then I have lots of enzymes, probiotics, and all the other vitamins and minerals. I don't go anywhere without this.' "This [chewy vitamin C] is one of my favourites. I have to be careful because I'll just keep eating these because they taste great.' Venus previously admitted her dog is her "life", even though she hadn't initially planned to get a pet. She told People magazine: "I'm a passionate pet owner, and my dog is my life. He is the focus of my life. I love the little guy. "I had not planned on getting a dog. And I just saw this dog one day, and I called my sister and said, 'What should I do? I like this dog.' And she said, 'Get him. I love him already.' And so it was the best decision and best advice I ever got."

Dog Health 2025: Here are the 26 most and least healthy breeds of adorable dog - from Border Collie to loving Labrador 🐶
We're a nation of dog lovers, with around one-in-three households including at least one four-legged friend . By far the most popular pet in the UK, they make for wonderful companions, all the while improving both our mental and physical health - and that's a scientific fact. The army of dog owners continues to grow, with 221 different breeds of pedigree dog to choose from, alongside numerous crossbreeds . Choosing the right breed is absolutely essential – for example opting for a small dog if you don't have much room at home, or a hypoallergenic dog if you suffer from allergies. There's also always the option of adopting a dog from a dog shelter for a minimal fee - for example from the Dogs Trust . There's even academic guidance to seek out, with Psychologist Stanley Coren's book 'The Intelligence of Dogs' ranking breeds by instincts the ability to adapt. And one thing you might like to consider is that some breeds tend to stay healthier for longer, meaning your vet bills shouldn't be too painful and your pet has a better chance of a pain-free and lengthy life. Meanwhile others - including some of the most popular breeds - are prone to developing health problems. Here are the 26 most - and least - naturally healthy breeds of dog. 1 . Poodle We're starting with the breeds of dog who should need the least visits to the vet. No matter which size of Poodle you go for - Standard, Miniature or Toy - these immaculate dogs tend to stay in good health, with a lifespans of up to 18 years. Only older dogs tend to develop the joint and eye issues common to the breed. | Canva/Getty Images Photo Sales 2 . Havanese Hailing from the capital city of the Carribean island of Cuba, like many small dogs the Havanese has more chance of developing liver and kidney disease than their larger cousins. Otherwise these loving characters can be expected to remain healthy for most of their lives. | Canva/Getty Images Photo Sales 3 . Australian Cattle Dog A relatively rare breed in Britain an Australian Cattle Dog called Bluey made it into The Guiness Book of Records as the world's oldest dog. He reached the amazing age of 29. While longevity and health don't always go hand-in-hand, the breed are known to stay fairly fit until a ripe old age. | Canva/Getty Images Photo Sales 4 . Belgian Malinois Bred as herding dogs, the Belgian Malinois is a close cousin of the more popualr German Shepherd. Like many working dog breeds they are naturally intelligent, very hardy and tend to stay healthy. The one condition they are predisposed to is cataracts. | Canva/Getty Images Photo Sales

New Barbara Walters documentary tells the story of my dear friend
Up close 'View' on Barbara Barbara Walters left us at age 93. Her Tribeca Festival and Imagine Entertainment documentary 'Tell Me Everything' is on Hulu June 23. As teenagers, we'd meet steadily in her father Lou Walters' B'way nightclub the Latin Quarter. Me dating his club's star. She in college. Both of us nobody. In larger life, we lived near one another. We traveled together. I have her Bulgari wristwatch and two mink jackets. Together we sold her diamond jewelry. Her housekeeper now works for me. Once I had her favorite Chinese restaurant charge $1,000 takeout to me. Another birthday, $1,000 in pantyhose. Advertisement I had dinners, lunches with her. My driver Jose drove her. We shared the same doctor. People magazine quotes me: 'She didn't love you if you were nobody. You had to be somebody.' Visiting me was always in hat and dark glasses. Her Havanese dog was named Cha Cha. Summers we'd visit her Hamptons rental. We did Iran, Israel, Argentina, Italy and another dozen countries together. Taking one Italian steamship trip. She to make a speech. Me her Plus One. On our way, a doctor gave me Ambien to sleep. Five milligrams. Airborne, I took a second pill. Forget it. My head fell inside our scrambled egg breakfast. The crew had to tie me to a wheelchair. Up the ramp as the ship's captain saluted Barbara, the crew needed to strap me in and push me. Thrilled Barbara was not. Advertisement Our dining table was in a protected area so nobody'd bother us. Know that a nearby table of 10 shouters were knocking Barbara. We heard. I didn't know what to do. Barbara knew. Finishing dinner she walked over and told them she'd heard every word they said. Three of us friends were buying contiguous homes together in the Plaza Hotel's newly renovated apartment wing — Barbara, Joan Rivers, me. We'd have each other's keys. Always be together, safe, never alone. One by one that idea would not work. Sara Bernstein — behind my own Imagine Entertainment doc and always knows what she's doing — was involved in this one. Advertisement Vocab lessons Forgotten words: I never forgot them because I never knew them. Now they're yours — lotsa luck. Hoddypeak: A fool or simpleton. Cockalorum: Boastful person.

Dave Ramsey Prefers His Dog To Most People, But He's Clear On One Thing—You Don't Go '$14,000 In Debt To Put New Hips In A Labrador'
Dave Ramsey says he genuinely loves his dog more than most people. In a recent post on X, the personal finance expert shared, 'I've got a little Havanese bear dog, it's 12 pounds. I truly prefer this dog to most people, I really do.'Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: . But Ramsey didn't stop there. He pointed out that many dog lovers let their emotions take over when it comes to their pets' medical care. 'We spend $8,000 to keep the dog alive while the dog is suffering, and it's not fair to the dog,' he said. 'Most of the time, this is about the person, not the dog.' Ramsey admitted he's faced this tough choice himself, having had to put dogs down. 'I've sat there and cried, sobbed while the vet puts one of them down. But that requires more courage than prolonging the dog's life and letting it suffer,' he said. The core of his message: love your dog, but don't let guilt or fear justify irresponsible spending. He suggested that how much you spend should depend on what you can reasonably afford. 'Do I go $14,000 in debt to put new hips into a Labrador retriever? No, you do not,' he emphasized. Trending: Invest where it hurts — and help millions heal:. His comments reflect a broader financial truth—tough decisions often arise when pets become seriously ill or injured, and the costs can be staggering. A recent article by MetLife (NYSE:MET) laid out just how expensive dog health issues can be: Intervertebral disc disease: up to $12,000 Bloat: $8,000+ Cancer treatments: $8,000+ Intestinal blockage surgery: up to $7,000 Hip dysplasia: up to $6,000 Cruciate ligament tear: $5,000+ Broken bones: $2,400 to $8,000 Poisoning or toxicity: up to $5,000 According to MetLife, some dog breeds are more prone to expensive issues than others. Cavalier King Charles spaniels, bulldogs, dachshunds and Great Danes, for instance, tend to have more health problems. Breeds like poodles, beagles, border collies and Havanese – – like Ramsey's own dog – tend to be healthier agrees with treating pets when it makes sense. 'If we can actually fix the animal, well, sure, we would spend some money on it,' he said. But he stressed that it should never come at the cost of financial ruin or prolonging a pet's suffering. 'They have a lifespan of 10, 12 years, maybe. So we outlive 10 or 12 of them if you live to be 70 years old,' he said. 'You kind of got to get that built into the system here and not put the poor animal through suffering because you're a big baby and you can't cry.'
