While Underwood doesn't travel with her husband, NHL player Mike Fisher, she does take comfort in having her dogs with her. She has insisted that "they're totally worth the extra costs and efforts" when charged additional fees at hotels or are inconvenienced out on the road. The singer's affection for her little ones is abundantly clear based on Twitter posts and Instagram photos that show Ace and Penny in enjoying a good meal or lying nestled in Underwood's loving arms.

"He makes me appreciate all the little things in life because he is a little thing," smiled the singing sensation while talking about Ace during a 2010 interview (featured below).
