MIDGE
When you finally get out on your own after living a nice existence with your parents, you need a grounding force, something to come home to that will make it feel more like home. Since Amanda had tried that and failed with Nick Zano, she decided she'd better get a puppy. Following Jennie Garth's lead, she selected a purebred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel she named Midge, after her alter ego on the "What I Like About You" set. Midge was the reason Amanda made her way onto the set of "Martha" this fall, and apparently Amanda, whose track record with animals has been nothing but impeccable, has indeed found a friend for life and hopefully will reside together in Hollywood for many years to come.
