Devastating Announcement
In her post, Louise wrote: "Our hearts are broken our gorgeous boy Rudi went to sleep forever today. Thank you for 12 amazing years of love and memories Rudes, you were the most gentle, loving boy, you’ve grown old watching Chaz and Beau grow up and kept Banks in check from day one and been my shadow since the day we got you as a tiny wrinkly puppy."
She added: "We’re going to miss you doing what ever you feel like doing when you feel like doing it, managing to escape any barricade put in place ‘Roudini’, telling Banksy off, pawing us all for strokes 24/7 and most of all those wrinkles and that little curly tail wagging when we come through the front door."
Friends Rally Round
Louise, who was previously married to football pundit Jamie Redknapp for 19 years, signed off: "Love you forever. Mummy, Chaz, Beau and Banksy." She also shared a heartwarming photo of herself cuddling her beloved pooch.
The singer was inundated with messages of support, including from Ruth Langsford, who lost her own dog Maggie last week. The Loose Women presenter wrote: "Oh darling I’m so sorry….we lost our beautiful Maggie last week. Feeling your pain and sending you & the boys massive love. Hold your memories close."
