Chrissy Teigen is mourning the loss of a furry family member on Wednesday.
“Lip Sync Battle” personality Teigen took to social media on Wednesday to alert fans that her dog Puddy had died, noting, “My heart aches.”
Teigen said that she and her husband John Legend got Puddy a decade ago, and that the dog “was there for everything.”
“Today our baby, Puddy, has gone on to the pup heavens. John and I got Puddy in our first year of dating, when I convinced him half-birthday presents were a real thing. 10 years ago, on May 30th, I found the dog that would be there for us through every up, down, new house, new city, new tour, new travel,” Teigen wrote in an Instagram post that also included a photo of Teigen with the pooch.
“He welcomed new pups and loved on new babies and new bellies. He was there for everything. Every time I needed a taste tester, someone to kiss or needed to sob into his stinky rolls, he was there,” Teigen continued. “It’s true what they say. We are their entire lives and it is the greatest shame that they can only bless us with a short spark of time in ours.”
Teigen added that she “always knew I would lose a piece of me when he left us.”
” I always knew I would lose a piece of me when he left us. I feel the hole now. I will love you forever, my boy. My heart aches. Thank you so much for everything, everything,” Teigen concluded.
In addition to Teigen and Legend, Puddy leaves behind a spouse, Pippa, Teigen noted in a subsequent post.
“Not many people know this but Puddy is survived by his wife, Pippa,” Teigen wrote in a caption for a photo of the happy couple tying the knot. “Yes, they were married.”
