Gracie (Dog)
Parker Posey has a beloved Maltichon (Maltese-Bichon Frise Mix) named Gracie, famed for a 2008 Gawker article titled, “Parker Posey’s Dog Is The Devil“. Posey got Gracie in 2003, who passed away in November 2019 at 16 years old.
For all of you who have loved Gracie, she had her last tic-tac last night and we slept somewhat peacefully. She was ready to go. She helped me heal through the loss of my father last year, while working on Lost in Space. She and I both loved sharing her humor, grace and natural performing abilities with you! As I’m sure many of you feel, our beloved pets make us better human beings.
