text: Miley Cyrus has taught her 14-year-old sister, Noah, how to twerk and dougie (at the same time!) and woah you'd think she's teaching her how to toke up. (Let's hope that's not happening!) People are really outraged. I mean, c'mon. Back in the day, parents were outraged at Elvis' hip shaking. The hokey pokey was probably the work of the devil at one time. 
   
   Look, 14-year-olds dance around. Toddlers do it. I have a friend whose toddler rolls around on the couch like Madonna on her Venice gondola in "Like a Virgin." Not everything is sexual -- not everything is evil. Teens and kids play around. Let's not get all like the preacher in Footloose here. 
   
   Isn't it nice that Miley is spending some time with her younger sis? 
   
   Here's the vid: 
   
   Okay, so I know what you're thinking. What next? Topless Insta photos? Naked on a swinging wrecking ball? Licking a hammer and lolling her tongue out? 
   
   Hey, Miley is her sister. Whether she copies her or not, who knows. Maybe the whole thing will turn her off of tongues forever. When teens rebel, they usually go in the opposite direction. 
   
   But let's not be so outraged at the dancing. It's not anything all the kids aren't doing. She would have learned it from someone else -- why not the master? 
   
   Yes, I too hope Noah will grow up to be a surgeon and leave the twerking to Miley ... but let's just give her a break and see how it goes. At least she's wearing more clothes than Miley. 
   
   Do you think Noah is too young to twerk?

   PHOTOS: Miley's wildest concert pics 
   
   RELATED VIDEOS: ||||| On Sunday, Miley Cyrus announced that she was sending her newest dog, Moonie, to live with another family. This happened less than two weeks after she got Moonie, who was adopted shortly after the mysterious death of her dog Floyd. 
   
   Let's investigate everything we know about Miley Cyrus and her dogs. 
   
   How many dogs does Miley have? 
   
   If you count all the dogs she had in the first week of April, six: 
   
   Floyd, husky, now deceased. 
   
   Moonie, Yorkie mix, recently rehomed. 
   
   Bean, chihuahua mix. 
   
   Penny Lane, tiny mix. 
   
   Mary Jane, black-and-white mix. 
   
   Happy, Rottweiler-beagle mix. 
   
   So what happened with Floyd? 
   
   Miley's dog Floyd died suddenly earlier this month under (at least to her fans) completely mysterious circumstances. She got the Alaskan Klee Kai in 2011, and he was evidently Miley's favorite of her dog army. "I know I don't mean it but I wish he would've taken me with him this is unbearable," she tweeted on April 1 without explaining how or why Floyd died. "What am I gonna do without him?" 
   
   I don't wanna say it because I don't want it to be real... But my precious baby Floyd has passed away ๐��ฟ๐�’” I am broken pic.twitter.com/QBPujurnUj โ€” Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) April 2, 2014 
   
   That's so sad. How did Miley handle his death? 
   
   According to her Twitter account, she struggled with his absence. 
   
   ๐��ฟ๐��ฟ๐��ฟ I wanna sleep but all I can do is cry ๐��ฟ๐��ฟ๐��ฟ I never wanna go home to a house where Floyd isnt running & playing ๐��ฟ how do I get thru this๐��ฟ โ€” Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) April 5, 2014 
   
   Im trying 2 tweet about it rather than screaming and waking up the entire hotel! I wanna fucking screaaam. Im so fucking angry at the world. โ€” Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) April 5, 2014 
   
   I wanna go home. But I don't wanna go home to a home with no Floyd ๐��ฟ 5 am. Can't sleep. Playing Barclays tomorrow. guide me rainbow Floyd ๐��� โ€” Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) April 5, 2014 
   
   How did Floyd's death impact Miley's touring? 
   
   A few days after Floyd's death, she paid tribute to him during a concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center: she sang a song in his memoryโ€”while wearing a bikini and furry chapsโ€”to huge inflatable husky that looks like Floyd: 
   
   We knew how much Floyd ment to @MileyCyrus She even included him in her concert ๐��ฟ๐��ฟ๐��ฟ #AlwaysInOurHearts #RIPFloyd pic.twitter.com/Tfcv5B8OrW โ€” (@louliparodi) April 2, 2014 
   
   The distraught Cyrus also canceled her Charlotte, N.C. last week just 30 minutes before she was set to perform, citing "a virus" as the reason. 
   
   Poor Miley. Has she thought about distancing herself from dogs for awhile? Maybe that would help. 
   
   Well, that would be difficult because in the worst idea ever, her mom Tish tried to cheer her up two days after Floyd passed by giving her a new puppy named Moonie. 
   
   my mama knew my heart was broken ๐�’” & this morning I woke up to Moonie kisses ๐��ฟ pic.twitter.com/1nUudVDaOz โ€” Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) April 4, 2014 
   
   Did Moonie fix everything? 
   
   Shockingly, no. One inflatable dog serenade and ten days later, Miley announced this Sunday that she was shipping off tiny, new not-Floyd to a family friend. Don't feel too bad for Moonie, though. If this picture is any indication, Moonie seemed to enjoy the idea of travel. 
   
   So torn. I love having little Moonie cuddle w me and Mary Jane ๐��ฟ but just don't know if I'm ready to love again ๐��ฟ pic.twitter.com/F6OxiXXepi โ€” Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) April 5, 2014 
   
   Why would someone who loves dogs and who has so many ship off poor Moonie so soon? 
   
   This is where the situation gets even bleaker. According to Miley: 
   
   @gypsyhearttour my friends mom who has a tiny pup 4 him 2 play with Molly ๐�’– After wht happened Im scared 2 have a tiny dog๐��ฟ #moonieandmolly โ€” Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) April 13, 2014 
   
   "After what happened?" With Floyd or...have there been others? This can't be good. 
   
   Yeah, so. It seems Miley's specific concern about Moonie's size probably has nothing to do with Floyd's death. No, "what happened" probably refers to another doggie incident in Miley's past. Back in 2012, her Yorkie mix, Lila, died when she was just over two years old. And that time it wasn't mere mysterious circumstances: Lila was killed after another of Miley's dogs, Ziggy, "grabbed her in just the wrong spot," according to Miley's mom. 
   
   What happened to Ziggy, Miley's dog who eats other dogs? 
   
   Ziggy was subsequently adopted by another family. And don't worry. There are no other dogs in Ziggy's new home. 
   
   Wow. Sounds like Miley doesn't have the best luck with dogs. 
   
   Well, she does ride a giant flying hot dog as part of her concert. 
   
   And sometimes she dresses like a hot dog? 
   
   But no, she has terrible luck when it comes to non-hot dogs. 
   
   What will Miley do without Floyd or Moonie? 
   
   It seems that Miley, along with her new favorite dog Mary Jane, is doing better now that she has a stuffed Floyd to carry around. 
   
   And we still don't know what happened to poor Floyd? 
   
   No. While it's rumored he was attacked by a coyote, we don't know exactly what happened. And perhaps we never will.

target: – Miley Cyrus was hospitalized yesterday after having a bad allergic reaction to antibiotics—but TMZ reports that it's actually the death of her dog earlier this month that's behind it all. Since Floyd's death, Cyrus has been "an emotional mess," and the only way she's found to deal with her crying jags and inability to sleep has been to party way too much, sources say. "She's been off the rails," adds another; both alcohol and drugs are reportedly involved. Worn out, she got sick, went on the antibiotics, and the rest is history. Miley tweeted today that she'll likely have to cancel tonight's concert in St. Louis, as she probably won't be released today, E! reports. Cyrus has made no secret of the fact that she's despondent over Floyd's death—in fact, she's posted about it so often on social media (and even sang a tribute to a huge inflatable version of the Husky at one of her concerts) that Gawker ran an explainer on Monday. It's not clear what happened to Floyd (there are reports he was killed by a coyote), but he was apparently Miley's favorite of the five dogs she had. After his death, her mom got her a new dog named Moonie, but she ended up giving the puppy away due to a concern about having small dogs—because in 2012, another dog of Miley's died after being grabbed by yet another dog of hers (who was also subsequently re-homed).
