Miranda Lambert‘s late dog Thelma has left a paw print on her heart.
The “Tin Man” singer, 39, announced her beloved pet’s passing in a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram.
“May 1, 2016 I adopted 2 beautiful Great Pyrenees named Thelma and Louise to look at over one of my happiest places on earth. My farm outside of Nashville,” Miranda wrote in a July 25 Instagram post. “The Kitties, chickens and mini horses needed to be taken care of and these 2 girls have done that for the reason that day we brought them home. They rode on my bus all the way in which from Dallas to Nashville and on that 10 hour drive I fell in love with them. Yesterday we needed to say goodbye to our sweet Thelma.”
The Grammy winner noted that her canine companion lived life.
“She spent her days lounging in the barn and her nights keeping watch over all of us,” she continued. “She lived the last 8 years with no fences, just freedom to do what she did best. Love and protect. I loved her with all my heart.”
