All of us go through trials in our lives. But losing two dogs in one day seems down right cruel. But yes, that’s exactly what has happened to America’s Got Talent judge Julianne Hough and her husband Brooks Laich, who headed to their respective social media pages on Saturday (Oct. 12) to share the dreadful news that their two dogs Lexi and Harley had died in September…on the same exact day.

“Thank you for your love,” Hough wrote alongside a series of pics of the two Cavalier King Charles spaniels. “Thank you for being my babies, my daughters. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for teaching me how to be your mother. Thank you for allowing me to give and receive love.”

Hough’s husband Laich also headed to Instagram to post a pic of him and his wife holding the two dogs during brighter days. He also touched on how painful it has been for the couple since the dogs’ untimely passing.
“Their tragic passing has left my wife and I heartbroken,” he wrote. “Lexi and Harley were not just pets to us, they were our children, and we loved them as such.”

Laich went on to say that, ‘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.’
Neither post went into much detail as to how it was that both dogs passed away on the same day. Nevertheless, we send our condolences to this hurting couple.
