Thomas Rhett is mourning the loss of another beloved family pet.
The singer-songwriter shared on Instagram on Wednesday (November 26) that the family’s dog, Kona, died shortly after the family said goodbye to Cash. Rhett said it’s been “tough,” and “they are truly a part of your family.” He wrote in his post about Kona:
“It’s been a tough dog month for our family. We lost our little Kona girl. I think after cash passed she just wanted to go be with him. It’s weird losing a dog, cause whether you know it or not they are just always there, always by your side at the dinner table. They are truly a part of your family. Got the courage last night to listen to [HARDY’s] song ‘Dog Years.’ I cried like a child, but dang that song is so spot on about the life of a dog if they could talk. Kona and Cash yall will be missed a lot. I know yall are having a blast up in heaven together.”
On October 16, Rhett opened up about losing Cash, “the most loyal, kind dog that I have ever known.” He pointed out that Cash was there to greet each one of his babies when they arrived home for the first time. Rhett and his wife, Lauren Akins, are parents to Willa Gray (10), Ada James (7), Lennon Love (5) and Lillie Carolina (4). They announced earlier this year that Akins is pregnant with Baby No. 5.
