Does Ellen DeGeneres ever talk about the Iggy incident? Is she still involved with pets?

—Jennifer Tracker, Granite Falls, Minn.

The daytime talk-show host, 50, has put “Iggygate,” last year’s heated custody dispute over her little mixed-breed puppy, behind her. An intensely committed animal lover and vegetarian, she invested earlier this year in Halo, an all-natural pet care company. As she says on the company’s website: “One of the things I really believe is that if you’re going to have pets you should treat them like you’d treat yourself. I don’t mean you should treat them to new shoes or a fancy car—I’m talking about the basics: a nice bed, fun toys and good food.”
