Kenny Chesney Has Two Tiny New Best Friends

When Kenny Chesney flew into Bardstown-Nelson County Airport in Kentucky with his girlfriend on Dec.18 to buy a couple of MaltiPoo puppies, breeder Cathy Adamson at Puppies Plus didn't realize she was picking up a country superstar at the airport.

"I didn't have any idea who he was to start with," Cathy tells the Kentucky Standard. Apparently Cathy had only been speaking with Kenny's girlfriend -- Miss Tennessee 2008, Amy Colley -- and the contract was in her name.

Giving Kenny and Amy the celebrity treatment by picking them up from the airport, the breeder says the singer was wearing a beanie hat, and introduced himself simply as 'Kenny.' Cathy recalls the new dog owner as being very down to earth and sweet, as he sat on the couch laughing, letting the puppy crawl up his chest to lick his face.

After spending about a half hour picking out puppies, Kenny and Amy settled on two female teacup MaltiPoos, who only weighed about 23 ounces each. When they're fully grown, the pups will be about four pounds. Kenny and Amy named them Molly and Dolly.

On the drive back to the airport, the breeder says Kenny e-mailed pictures of the puppies from his iPhone. After Kenny and Amy boarded their jet, the breeder was told upon leaving by a crew member that she'd just sold puppies to Kenny Chesney. Stunned, she went back onboard and said, "Don't tell me you're Kenny Chesney."
