Adele 'puts career on hold for dog'

Adele has revealed that she has put her second album on hold while she prepares for the arrival of her new dog.

The 'Chasing Pavements' singer admitted that she is taking a break from recording sessions until alterations on her home are completed.

"I'm getting a new floor put in my flat in a couple of weeks 'cos I'm getting ready for my little doglet," she told the Daily Star. "He's so cute!"

Last month, the 21-year-old revealed that she was halfway through recording her upcoming second LP and found inspiration from everyday activities.

"The littlest things I can write about, it doesn't have to be some drama. The littlest things about not putting a cup in the dishwasher. I can write a song about that as well," she said.

Adele shifted 2.2 million copies of her debut record 19 and picked up the gong for best new artist at the Grammy Awards earlier this year.
