Ирландский блогер Алан Кларк сообщил о смерти своего питомца Кукки, которая прожила с ним 16 лет

Irish influencer Alan Clarke has announced the death of his beloved pet Kookie. The springer spaniel was a regular on the podcaster’s social media accounts, and even inspired his own gin brand, Kookie Gin. The Mayo native, who is best known as the host of the hit Big News Coming Soon podcast and live stage shows, shared the devastating news via Instagram on Monday. View this post on Instagram Sharing a video montage featuring clips of Kookie, who was 16-years-old, the content creator wrote: “We had to say goodbye to our beautiful Kookie today.” “Even though we knew this day was coming, nothing could have prepared us for how devastating and heartbreaking it would be. “Kookie wasn’t just our family pet. She was my best friend, my little shadow and, without a doubt, my therapy dog. If she had been paid for all the hours she spent listening to me over the years, she would have been a multimillionaire. “She was the kindest, most compassionate little dog I have ever known. Sometimes I genuinely believed she was almost human. She always knew when something was wrong, when you needed her, and she was always there,” he continued. View this post on Instagram “For 16 years, Kookie never gave us a day’s bother. Sixteen years of unconditional love, companionship and memories that I will treasure forever. I really don’t know what I’m going to do without her. “Everywhere I go, people ask me, “How’s Kookie?” She was loved by so many. Thank you to every person who ever asked about her, bought her gifts, spoiled her with treats or simply showed her love over the years. It meant more than you’ll ever know. “Most of all, I want to thank my Mum, Dad. Without their endless love, care and support, we wouldn’t have been lucky enough to have Kookie with us for as long as we did. “A huge thank you also to Vivian, Shauna and all the staff at Breaffy Veterinary Clinic. Kookie was in there so often they were nearly paying PRSI for her! But seriously, the kindness, compassion and care they showed Kookie and our family was exceptional, especially when we needed it most,” Alan penned. “Our homes are going to feel incredibly empty without our best friend. I’m absolutely devastated, but I get so much comfort knowing Kookie had 16 years of being completely and utterly adored. She genuinely must have been one of the most loved dogs in the county. “Kookie will never know everything she did for me, how many difficult days she got me through, or how much comfort and happiness she brought into my life simply by being there. “I hope somehow she knew just how much I loved her. Thank you for everything, Kookie,” he added. “My best friend forever. ❤️🐾.” View this post on Instagram Alan is a popular Irish content creator, podcaster, and author from Castlebar, County Mayo.
