In a recent interview with Us Magazine, they of course had to ask Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards about her six-pack of celebrity canines. the interview asked about what life has been like since her ex-husband Mauricio Umansky moved out and if she was lonely. With her two younger daughters who live with her out a lot, she replied, “… It is sad for me. I’m here alone with six dogs. Am I a crazy dog lady? Maybe!”
The interviewer replies, “At least you have the dogs!” Then Richards adds, “It’s like having six husbands. It’s a lot of work! But they make me laugh and make me feel safe. They sleep in my room. One sprawls across [me], and I end up sleeping in a split because I want to accommodate her.” So while many would expect a woman comparing husbands to dogs, it would be a dig at them. In this case it was, but also a way of praising husbands (and dogs). As they’re a lot of work but also bring her joy and safety.
Does Kyle Richards have 6 or 7 dogs?
But this recent interview also brings up a new mystery, as she says she has six dogs and has six dogs photographed with her… But at last count, she had seven pups at home! The family photo above includes Bambi her senior Golden Retriever, her giant mutt Storm, her Pomeranian Romeo, her two rescued German Shepherds, Luna and River, and her recent foster fail Georgie the Burmese.
What happened to Kyle Richards’ dog Smokey?
Notably absent from the fur family photo is Smokey, pictured below. Smokey is a large mixed breed similar to Storm, but with distinct grey fur. Richards posted about Smokey several times after adopting the pup in January 2022, but hasn’t since then… She got Smokey when she was still together with Mauricio, so he might be looking after him (but he has no Instagram posts with Smokey) If you have any info on Smokey’s whereabouts, please let us know!
