Kathy Griffin with Olivia, Elliot, Mary & Maggie

What’s the best thing about sharing your life with a pack of dogs? I honestly believe that if every person across the globe had just one dog to love and take care of, we would be able to conquer anything together. We would just be better people for it.

Their ages and best-guess at breed?

My husband, Randy, and I are doing Dog DNA tests and are eagerly awaiting the results to find out what breed(s) they are. Expecting some type of “Super Mutt” for all four, but it will be interesting to see if there are particular genes for specific dogs that are more prominent. Ages - Olivia and Elliot are 5. Mary and Maggie are 3.

Is there a story behind any of their names?

Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler were named after the main characters played by Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni on “Law & Order: SVU.” Or, as my mother, the late, great, Maggie Griffin (which Maggie and Mary are named after), would call it “Law & Order: SUV.”

What is your idea of a perfect afternoon together?

Cuddling in bed with the whole pack!

If you could tell them one thing, what would it be? You have saved my life.

What’s the greatest extravagance you afford them? These dogs are all pampered beyond belief! They live in a Malibu mansion!

What is their motto? Leave no one behind. We are legion.
