“Jetzt seid ihr frei”: Julianne Hough trauert um ihre beiden Hunde

Sie waren wie Kinder

Schauspielerin und Tänzerin Julianne Hough (31, “Safe Haven”) hat ihre geliebten Hunde Lexi und Harley verloren. Wie aus einem Instagram-Post der 31-Jährigen hervorgeht, starben die beiden Cavalier King Charles Spaniel am 28. September 2019. Houghs Ehemann, der kanadische Eishockeyspieler Brooks Laich (36), spricht auf seiner Instagram-Seite von einem “tragischen Verlust”. Das Paar ist am Boden zerstört. Dennoch findet es Worte der Dankbarkeit.

“Danke, für die immerwährenden Erinnerungen”

Laich, der seit 2017 mit der Schauspielerin verheiratet ist, schreibt über die beiden Vierbeiner: “Sie zeigten mir, dass wahre Liebe auf der Welt existiert.” Sie seien für das Paar nicht nur Haustiere gewesen, sondern Familienmitglieder. “Danke, dass ihr meine Babys wart, meine Töchter”, schreibt daher auch Hough zu den zahlreichen Schnappschüssen und Videos.

Und weiter: “Danke, dass ihr mich beschützt habt und dass ich euch beschützen durfte.” Lexi und Harley seien “die beständigsten Wesen” in ihrem Leben gewesen. “Ich habe noch nie eine Liebe wie unsere erlebt.” Sie werde die beiden vermissen und für immer lieben. Die Erinnerungen an sie und die gemeinsamen Momente würden für immer währen. “Jetzt seid ihr frei”, so die Worte der 31-Jährigen zum Abschied.

It is with the heaviest heart that I share with you the passing of our beloved dogs Lexi and Harley. Their tragic passing has left my wife and I heartbroken. Lexi and Harley were not just pets to us, they were our children, and we loved them as such. They were the purest example of love that I have ever seen. They showed me that true love did exist in the world. The way they loved their mom @juleshough and the way she loved them back was the first time I knew that there was hope for me to have love in my life. And they accepted me into their little family, and helped me become a dad for the first time. The past 2 weeks have been filled with tears of sorrow, and tears of joy. The immense pain we feel by their loss is due to the overwhelming love we had for them. Every single beautiful part of them will be missed, but we trust that they are in a better place now, and can still feel their presence in our hearts. I want to thank the many people who have helped see us through the past 2 weeks. The outpouring of love and support we have received from our family and friends has helped heal our hearts. I am eternally grateful for everyone who has held space for my wife and I to grieve and mourn. There are too many names to list, but you all know who you are, and know that we couldn’t have made it through this without each and everyone of you. In the most sincere way possible, thank you very much. Thank you to @kristysowin, @derekhough, and @camilaforeroo for going above and beyond what we could ever imagine asking of you. There simply are no words to express our gratitude, we love you deeply and are so grateful for you. Thank you to my wife for allowing me to share in their world, and trusting me to be their dad. I wasn’t perfect, but I loved them with every ounce of my heart. And thank you Lexi and Harley, for teaching me grace, softening my heart, and showing me love. You are perfect, and may you Rest In Peace. ❤️ ❤️
