00:10During the February 5 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark,
00:14the couple shares the heartbreaking news
00:16that their 17-year-old dog, Chewy, has died.
00:20We had a rough night yesterday, a rough day yesterday.
00:25Gosh, we had to say goodbye to Chewy yesterday.
00:30Uh, and you know, you know you're doing the right thing,
00:35and you, you know, the vet was there and was like,
00:39yeah, Chewy had stopped eating for a couple days
00:43and had been eating less and less for the past few weeks.
00:46Um, he was extremely dehydrated
00:49and had some neurological stuff going down.
00:52Kelly and Mark, who were first introduced to the Shih Tzu
00:54during an adoption segment on the talk show,
00:57reflect on how Chewy impacted their family,
01:00which also includes their three adult children,
01:03Michael, Lola, and Joaquin.
01:05We're filled with gratitude.
01:07She gave us so much, you know,
01:09and, and as each one of our kids left for college
01:13and then moved out on their own,
01:15we, Chewy, like, remained right there.
01:19Steadfast.
01:20Stead, like our steadfast companion.
01:23With Kelly going on to detail
01:25the, quote, presidential farewell Chewy got
01:28from their family and friends.
01:30It was, dare I say, presidential.
01:33People came, people like the mail carrier,
01:36people came to say goodbye to Chewy
01:39because she was such a beloved member of the community,
01:43not just, not just our dog.
01:45Our neighborhood, she's like a good neighbor.
01:46She was like the neighborhood dog.
01:47Yeah.
01:48The 54-year-old then shares the touching way
01:51she said her final goodbyes to her furry friend.
01:55She never let us kiss her face.
01:57She was very precious about her face.
01:59Like she would not let, she would not,
02:01she was not a bad dog.
02:05And after she passed away last night,
02:09I kissed her a thousand times on the face.
02:12I kissed her nose.
02:13I'd never kissed her nose before.
02:15I never kissed her nose before.
02:17And I know that she was like somewhere in dog heaven pissed.
02:22And I didn't care because it just was like so nice to have that.
02:28Yeah.
02:29You were a great dog, mom.
02:30She, she was, she adored you.
