Saying goodbye to a dear pet friend is so excruciating. It's a huge loss that cannot be measured. Sadly, country music star Thomas Rhett is now grieving the passing of not one, but two of his family's dogs. Hopefully it brings him some comfort to know that other stars are also missing their dear four-legged buddies. A few weeks ago, Jimmy Fallon wrote a heartbreaking tribute to his deceased dog Gary. And just days ago, Miranda Lambert posted sorrowfully about the death of her two wonderful miniature horses.

Per Parade, Rhett's pooch, Kona, has passed on not long after another of his family's treasured dogs died. He is grieving both painful losses, which he posted about on Instagram. The singer wrote, "It's been a tough dog month for our family. We lost our little Kona girl. I think after cash passed she just wanted to go be with him. It's weird losing a dog, cause whether you know it or not they are just always there, always by your side at the dinner table."
A Song by HARDY Helped Rhett
He added, "They are truly a part of your family. Got the courage last night to listen to @hardy song 'Dog years' I cried like a child, but dang that song is so spot on about the life of a dog if they could talk. Kona and Cash yall will be missed a lot. I know yall are having a blast up in heaven together."
