Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are mourning a difficult loss.
The couple shared the heartbreaking news that their family dog, Chewie, died Feb. 4. She was 17.
“We had a rough day yesterday. We had to say goodbye to Chewie yesterday,” Mark said of the Shih Tzu on the Feb. 5 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark. “Chewie had stopped eating for a couple of days and had been eating less and less for the past few weeks. She was extremely dehydrated and had some neurological stuff going down.”
The 53-year-old explained that the couple opted to have a vet come to their New York City apartment to put down Chewie using in-home humane euthanasia.
“You think, ‘Okay, I’m doing the right thing, this is going to be not easy, but…’ It’s probably one of the toughest things we’ve had to do as a married couple,” Mark went on. “I know pet owners at home can understand this. It takes a pet owner to understand this kind of loss. It’s grief. It really is grief.”
