Minka Kelly Mourns the Loss of Her Beloved Dog Chewy: ‘You Were My Rock'

Minka Kelly‘s pooch Chewy has passed away.

“My sweet angel baby girl. My Chewy…I still can’t quite catch my breath,” the Friday Night Lights alum wrote alongside a series of photos of her pet Cockapoo, whose name is short for Chewbacca.

Continuing, Kelly, 37, wrote, “My heart is broken into a million pieces. Thank you for 13 years of true and unconditional love.”

“We’ve lived all over the place and what a trooper you were. You made everywhere new and foreign feel like home,” she continued. “You’ve seen me through it all… You were my rock during the hard times and taught me humility during the good. What a divine gift and love you were.”

My sweet angel baby girl. My Chewy... I still can’t quite catch my breath. My heart is broken into a million pieces. Thank you for 13 years of true and unconditional love. Thank you for growing with me as we ventured out into the world. We’ve lived all over the place and what a trooper you were. You made everywhere new and foreign feel like home. You were the first living thing I was responsible for and the first living thing who’s love I trusted. You've seen me through it all... You were my rock during the hard times and taught me humility during the good. What a divine gift and love you were. I hope you’re out there somewhere running through a forest chewing on sticks and chasing squirrels. I hope you’re with my momma. Give her all the kisses for me and make sure she knows how much we’ve missed her. Thank you for choosing me to be your momma. I’d suffer this heartache a million times over to do it all again. I love you forever, my puppy.

“I hope you’re out there somewhere running through a forest chewing on sticks and chasing squirrels. I hope you’re with my momma. Give her all the kisses for me and make sure she knows how much we’ve missed her,” she added.

Concluding her heartfelt message, Kelly wrote, “I’d suffer this heartache a million times over to do it all again. I love you forever, my puppy.”

Kelly also has a dog named Fred. Before Chewy’s passing, the actress would frequently share videos of the two canines playing together on social media.

Almost time to go home.. Bitter sweet. Definitely a little homesick, but I’m gonna miss these mornings! ????

In a separate post memorializing her beloved pet, the actress wrote, “What an honor and a true and abiding gift it was to have her precious spirit in my life for as long as I did.”

What an honor and a true and abiding gift it was to have her precious spirit in my life for as long as I did. I don’t remember who I was before Chewy, but I do know I’m a better person because of her. The morning after my sweet girl went to sleep, my beautiful god mother sent me a poem. I haven’t stopped reading it since. May it warm your heart the way it does mine should you too have ever lost your beloved puppy/family member/best friend... I know that you must miss me, By the tears rolling down your face. But believe me when I tell you that, I'm in a very good place. There are beaches here to run in, And plenty of balls to chase. There are other dogs to play with, To frolick with and race. So please don't worry about me, My spirit feels light as can be. There's no more pain to plague me, I'm young again and free. And I'll be watching over you still, of that you can be sure. I'm your guardian angel, And my love for you remains pure.
