Miranda Lambert Mourns Death of 'Sweet Companion' in Emotional Post

Miranda Lambert is saying goodbye to an important member of her furry family.

On Tuesday, July 25, the "Bluebird" songstress announced the death of her beloved dog Thelma, a Great Pyrenees that she's had since 2016.

She shared the sad news with a lengthy tribute on Instagram, which featured several photos of her late angel pup who lived on Lambert's Tennessee farm with all the singer's fellow fur-babies. 

"🌈💕May 1 , 2016 I adopted 2 beautiful Great Pyrenees named Thelma and Louise to watch over one of my happiest places on earth. My farm outside of Nashville" the 39-year-old country star began her heartfelt message. "The Kitties, chickens and mini horses needed to be looked after and these 2 girls have done that since the day we brought them home. They rode on my bus all the way from Dallas to Nashville and on that 10 hour drive I fell in love with them."

"Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our sweet Thelma," Lambert continued, while sharing some of her fondest memories of her loyal pet. "She spent her days lounging in the barn and her nights keeping watch over all of us. 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. 💙"

Lambert then gave an update on all the other animals she has on the farm, including Thelma's sidekick Louise, who "has retired from her farm duties and is getting all the more love and snuggles from Delta, Bellamy, Cher, Brendan [McLoughlin] and me," the Palomino artist wrote.

"It hurts so bad to say goodbye to these sweet companions but their love is always worth it," Lambert went on. "How lucky are we do get to have friends like Thelma. I am so proud to have been part of her story."

"Thank you to my friends and farm managers Julia and Tommy for taking such good care of her and everyone of my fur babies and loving them like they are your own," she added, wrapping up her post. "We all miss you Telm Telm 💔 Y’all don’t forget, love a shelter pet."
