Wathing you
Kelly and
Mark 🐕😅😂❤😊💙❤️🐕😎
Bigger problems? No! Our babies are precious and part of our home and it hurts when they leave us
My little doggie passed years ago and I still tear up sometimes. 🐶 I made sure to take the next day off work. Its tough
Aweee. Kelly… praying for you. Such a hard thing to walk through. 🙁
Aw, Kelly, no need to aplogize. Truth is, you will never get over the grief of losing Chewie out of your system becuase she was your child, even though she only had four legs. Our pets are our family members but much more than that, they are so giving to us in so many unconditional ways and so forgiving of all our human failings. They are the friend we all need in our lives at times of happiness, sadness and boredom, because they are always there for us, no matter what. Sadly, they just don't live long enough and having to say goodbye to them when their time comes is one of the most heartwrenching things about pet ownership. I am so sorry for your loss, and hope you will always know you're not alone because there are so many of us out here missing our 4-legged children every single day.
❤I too cried every time I mentioned her to people, 151/2 yrs together, we had such an emotional cry for our babies. I couldn’t walk where we walked for a long time. Peace be with you, love you Kelly &Chewy.
So sorry i lost mine too
So sorry. You will see all your fur babies in heaven.
So hard to loose a beloved pet. I have a Shin Tzu who has been with me through thick and thin for 14 years, and identify far too fast.
It hurts so bad??😢 So sorry! Prayers!!
Sincere Condolences for your loss …They become family to us …❤
Can relate and still cry a lot after several years
Love is love is LOVE….. Never apologize for loving 💝 SO Sorry for your loss 💗😢
wtf
She was a lot more.composed than me. I lost my dog a week and a half ago and I have been crying hysterically. Dogs have the most pure and loving hearts.
I’m so sorry for your loss. There is nothing harder than losing a beloved fur baby.
I am so sorry!
Animals are like family so sorry 😢for your lost
Everybody loses a pet be professional. You can afford a million more.
Such a diva always playing the martyr
💜🐾🐾🙏🦋
I’m sorry for your loss!
Our fur babies become like family to us & give so much unconditional love & joy & fun to our lives. It’s OK to cry Kelly! And shows how big your heart 💜 is. I have a cat Mufasa that has been the love of my life for 15 years & I know I will be just like Kelly when he goes. I just enjoy him & love him everyday I can!!
Kelly, don't apologize. My oldest dog battled heath issues for almost 6 months recently, I thought I was going to lose him. He, and my other dog, she's 8 years old, were my grounding force after my middle aged son passed away. Dogs don't care if your beautiful, rich, or popular, they love you unconditionally. They are there for you 24/7, full stop. Grieve Chewie, it's a huge loss she was family. Hugs to you!
Oh no. May he rest in Heaven with all the other doggie angels 🐕😇💌

May deepest condolences to your family and u my cousin is going through the same 🫶🏻👐🏼🙏🏼🕊️RIP Chewy will never be forgotten is hard to lose someone as important in the family stay strong 😢
Awe I’m so very sorry I know the devastating feeling. It absolutely breaks my heart but it takes a long time for your heart to heal from this. We have had to do this 4 times and each time it took a piece of my heart.
It's heart breaking. There's nothing like the love of a dog. I totally understand your pain. Sending love and light.
Awww😭
She's still on that show, she must be a 100 years old by now 😅
We lost our 15-16 year old (rescued so age was always an estimate) little guy last month. He actually looked a lot like Chewie! He was with us for 14 years and helped us through some very rough times. Losing him has been difficult. I hope both their sweet souls are somewhere where they are happy, painless and safe and that they know our love for them is everlasting ❤
Kelly I love you ❤ chewy rip ❤
