This is so sweet: Actor Mickey Rourke’s beloved 18-year-old chihuahua Loki passed away suddenly last week, just a day after Mickey had told a gossip rag that he planned to take the little dog to the Oscars with him.

Mickey found a way to bring Loki with him just the same with a sweet little picture pendant necklace, which he wore to both the Academy Awards and the Independent Spirit Awards. During a red carpet interview he said he’d trade in any award for more time with little Loki:

“It’s bittersweet. I said to myself I’d rather have Loki for another two years than an Oscar. And I told her that. But she stayed as long as she could, you know,” he said sadly. “She’s the love of my life. She made it until six days ago. She left me at a time where, after 18 years, she knew I’d be all right.”

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go cuddle a chihuahua of my own.

Mickey Rourke Honors Loki at the Oscars

Remember Sparta, the freaking adorable kitten from The Mean Kitty Song?

His owner, “Mr. Safety” of SMP Films, has posted an update (above) about the quirky kitty and how he’ll only eat his food out of the sink, sleeps on the back of the toilet, and enjoys a good spanking now and then. Seriously.

Sparta now has his own page on Youtube where you can also see Mean Kitty, Creature of the Night, meet Loki, and a three part series on How to Annoy Your Mean Kitty. The kids have already tried the receipt trick on our playful cat, who entertained us pretty well for a few minutes!
