Sandra & Jesse: Secrets of a Happy Marriage! | Alias Jesse James, Jesse James, Sandra Bullock
For their first wedding anniversary on July 16, Sandra Bullock and Jesse James decided to expand their family. So in addition to celebrating quietly in Bullock's adopted hometown of Austin – to mark the occasion, Walton's, a local florist, decorated her lake-front property with glass lanterns, hydrangeas, roses and lilies – they adopted Bebe, a one-eyed Chihuahua they took in from a Long Beach, Calif., animal shelter.

The pooch joins a menagerie of seven dogs (including Poppy, a three-legged mutt). "Jesse's got a soft heart. He picks animals with issues, and that takes someone special," says Sylvia Gyimesi of Best Buddies Rescue in Long Beach, where the couple found both Bebe and Poppy. "Too many people are always looking for the perfect pet, but they're the type who don't get caught up in how the dog looks."
