She wrote about her long desire to have a dog, and the moment she found out the horrible news. “I would borrow friends’ dogs & take them on walks growing up.

The 39-year-old also revealed that her canine suffered from health problems in the past that she miraculously overcame. “This dog inspired me so much with her spirit & her fight.

To celebrate we threw her a sweet 16 bday bash!”

I know it’s hard for some to understand bc maybe they haven’t experienced the unconditional love from a dog, but it’s deep & special.”
