DANVILLE — A Knox County-bred Yorkshire Terrier made its appearance on the red carpet Monday night at the Golden Globe Awards.
June Bug is the small “tea cup” Yorkie purchased from Renotta and Kevin Oliver, Rabbit Ridge Road, by Ms. “Jake” Dennis this past weekend for the occasion. Dennis flew in from California to make the purchase and spent the night with the Olivers.
Dennis told the Olivers she would be mentioning Renotta’s name and giving out the Oliver’s Web site (
www.yorkiecity1.com) on the air, and that they could expect their e-mail to “load-up” and all the Yorkies they have available to be sold very quickly. As of Monday afternoon, the Olivers had 25 Yorkies on hand, including the adult ones.
Dennis made her first appearance with June Bug on E! Entertainment at 1:15 p.m. EST Monday and the Oliver’s reported they had 249 hits on their Web site by 2 p.m. Dennis and June Bug were scheduled to be on Access Hollywood later Monday.
“This is really exciting for me,” Renotta said Monday afternoon.
