“Our road dog with Sade, a tour dog for years. We loved her so much.

“We love you sweet girl. I know you’re giving Puddy hell up there.

“Thank you for giving us your whole life.”

John and Chrissy dressed their dogs up in bride and groom outfits and decorated their pool area like a wedding.

Chrissy regularly shares snaps of her family life on Instagram.

However, this week she spoke candidly about feeling depressed while home alone.

As part of her lengthy caption, she wrote: “Going outside sucks and doesn’t feel right, being at home alone with my mind makes my depressed head race.

“But I do know that however I’m handling this now isn’t the right answer.

“I feel lost and need to find my place again,I need to snap out of this, I desperately wanna communicate with you guys instead of pretending everything is okay.”
