Is this Ashlee Simpson’s New Puppy?

Rumor had it that Pete Wentz was buying his lady-love, Ashlee Simpson a puppy for Christmas – pics of Ashlee loving on this Chihuahua during behind the scene moments while shooting the video Boyfriend. Could this be her puppy or was she just snuggling with a pooch on the set?

We aim to please so we’re reaching out to her publicist now!

Update 1/1/08: BAH! These are old photos we’ve been told so this obviously isn’t a new puppy for Ash.
