Jessica Simpson Still Doggedly Pursuing Daisy

Thu., Sep. 17, 2009 7:55 AM PDT by Gina Serpe

Jessica Simpson has a message for the cynics (and, let's be honest, realists): Paws off.

Unlikely as a rescue may be, the singer is holding out hope for a reunion with her maltipoo Daisy days after she witnessed the 5-year-old dog get snatched up by a coyote.

"Still holding out hope despite the assholes that say is it a dumb thing to do," she tweeted yesterday. "Daisy is my baby…why would I stop searching? I'm a mom."

You mess with a mama, you get the claws.

In fact, if anything, Simpson has stepped up her efforts to locate her MIA pet, enlisting the aid of dog-finding service Find Toto in her quest to track down Daisy. The company made phone calls to roughly 1,000 of her neighbors (that must be some spread she's got there) asking for leads.

"I'm receiving every building block of faith I can get," she wrote in response to someone sending well-wishes for the pooch's safe return.

Not that she hasn't taken any breaks in her dogged doggy pursuit.

"Everyone watch my beautiful sister be a creepy bitch on Melrose Place tonight," she wrote yesterday. "Tune in! xo".
