Kelly Ripa cries with husband Mark Consuelos on live after the d eath of 17 yearold dog Chewie
“It’s probably one of the toughest things we’ve had to do as a married couple,” Consuelos said.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are mourning the loss of their beloved dog, Chewie, who died on Tuesday, Feb. 4, at the age of 17.
The couple opened up Wednesday’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark by revealing the news of Chewie’s death, Consuelos sharing that the pair had to put down the white and brown Shih Tzu.
“We had a rough day yesterday. We had to say goodbye to Chewie yesterday,” he said, explaining that the pair had a vet come to their New York City apartment for in-home humane euthanasia.
“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,” Consuelos said.
“And 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.”
