Fans are showing their support and love after country music star Thomas Rhett shared the loss of a second beloved family dog in less than one month. The emotional update struck a chord across social media, where fans flooded the comments with prayers, condolences, and personal stories of their own four-legged companions. As the singer navigates a deeply painful month, the country music community is wrapping him in steady, heartfelt support.
‘Truly a Part of Your Family’
The former Battle Advisor on “The Voice” shared the touching message on his Instagram page on Wednesday, November 26. This message comes just weeks after Rhett revealed that another one of the family’s four-legged friends had also passed away.
Rhett started the caption saying, “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.”
The “Small Town Girls” singer went on to say the loss of these dogs hits deeply, adding, “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.”
Rhett is now trying to navigate life without his pups. He is working through that grieving process, stating, “Got the courage last night to listen to @hardy 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.”
He ended by saying, “Kona and Cash yall will be missed a lot. I know yall are having a blast up in heaven together.”
It was on October 16, Rhett posted that “our sweet little Cash man went to go be with Jesus.”
