Kate Middleton Pets

The pregnant Kate Middleton was seen out and about this week, sporting her baby bump, good friend Trini Foyle and dog Lupo in London's Hyde Park.

WhatKateWore (dot) com, a site dedicated to (you'll never guess) all things Kate Middleton fashion, posted a photo of her on its Facebook page.

"With thanks to lovely WKWer Jennifer, her sister saw Kate walking in Hyde Park yesterday, you can see Lupo on the far left of the photo," the caption read.

The Middleton fan adds, "Looks like Kate is in her LK Bennett Darwin jacket, Le Chameau wellies & skinny jeans. (Love the hair being partially pulled back.)"

Absence has made Kate Middleton's heart grow fonder.

With her husband off in the Falkland Islands on military duty, the Duchess of Cambridge confessed she has been "missing him terribly," but is keeping busy.

Among several successful solo engagements, Kate held her own for the first time as a member of the royal family, celebrating with Queen Elizabeth herself and the Duke of Edinburgh, as the family kicked off the Queen's Diamond Jubilee tour.

Kate isn't entirely alone with William in the Falklands. She has also had special company to keep her from being lonely in recent days: her new puppy, Lupo.

"I've got a dog keeping me occupied," the Duchess told interfaith worker Riaz Ravat at a lunch in Leicester. "I'm getting a lot of me time with the dog!"

When it came to naming their brand new puppy, royal newlyweds Prince William and Kate Middleton decided to go a traditional, sophisticated route.

Standard operating procedure for a Duke and Duchess.

Kate Middleton let their closely guarded secret slip when talking to a group of school children at Rose Hill Primary School Tuesday: Its name is Lupo!

The cocker spaniel's moniker means 'wolf' in Italian.

Why the name Lupo? "There is no significance in it apart from they liked the name," a royal aide told the U.K. Daily Mail shortly after Kate spilled the beans.

Adopting the puppy in January, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge first met the canine over the Christmas holiday with her parents in Bucklebury, England.

"He belongs to a litter of spaniels from one of Carole Middleton's friends near home," a Palace aide said earlier this month when confirming Lupo's origin.

Late last year, Kate and William reportedly took the small canine companion home for a brief fostering period before making the adoption official.

"William and Catherine fell in love with the pup instantly and it wasn't long before they decided to keep him, officially, in their family," the source says.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have adopted a new puppy!

Rumors had been circling about a new addition to their family since photos surfaced of the pair walking along with a canine companion on Newborough Beach in North Wales, but the Palace hadn't confirmed the adorable news - until now!

The newlyweds have become parents to a months-old black Cocker Spaniel: AWW!

The Palace has yet to release the name, but The Telegraph says the male pup is a son of a dog belonging to the Duchess of Cambridge's mother, Carole Middleton.

Members of the media are sure to love the newest royal addition as the royal couple is certain to take many more outings with their new furry friend in the future.

Not to mention the fact that it will stir up the obligatory Kate Middleton pregnancy rumors. After all, the dog always comes before the baby ... are we right?!
