‘Live’ Kelly Ripa Is Tortured By Decision About Sweet Elderly Dog
Undoubtedly, Live With Kelly And Mark host, Kelly Ripa is struggling with what she should do about her elderly dog. She has reached an age where knowing what she is thinking would be a blessing.
Kelly Ripa Loves Her Dogs
Live With Kelly And Mark host, Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa discuss their two dogs, Lena, 4, and Chewie, 17. With the cold weather, Mark jokes that Lena doesn’t appreciate him dressing her up in winter wear. Instead, they note they find it “humiliating” and even seem to scowl. Likewise, Kelly mentions they have two dogs that prefer being naked. But the conversation took a turn to the sad reality when Kelly discusses Chewie isn’t doing well. Unmistakably, Kelly is wrestling with a huge decision about her sweet elderly dog. When do you say goodbye?
Sadly, Kelly and Mark have noticed Chewie is deteriorating and essentially “slowing down” in her everyday life. But after an incident, Kelly emotionally shares that it is torturing to choose without knowing what Chewie wants. With a heavy heart, she reveals the night before their almost 18-year-old dog “had a huge, huge accident and then slipped in it and rolled around.”
Kelly Ripa Is Tortured By Decision About Sweet Elderly Dog
With the decline, Live With Kelly And Mark host, Kelly Ripa just wants her dog to be able to talk to her. Even though Mark wasn’t there during Chewie’s accident, he understands their sweet dog is having more challenges. Kelly said, “And so, this was like the real sign to me, so I took her to the tub to give her a bath.” She describes that Chewie normally puts up a big fight like a “dragon” at bathtime. But instead, this time Kelly saw Chewie just laying her head down on the sink.
At that point, Kelly Ripa just looked at Chewie wanting her to tell her what to do. However, Mark confesses, “She’s really old.” Kelly agrees that she knows that but is tortured by what they should do. Adding, “I just wish I knew what to do.” As she laments, she invites Live fans to inbox her if they know what to do. But then specifies she would prefer information from a veterinarian. Michael Gelman says they would entertain doing a segment on the topic because it is such a hard thing to go through. Furthermore, he believes it would be helpful for fans to know what to look for in an aging animal.
Kelly Ripa Wants Answers
Notably, little Chewie has a benign tremor. Seemingly beside herself, Kelly Ripa says, “I wish she would, just this one time, say something.” Then, Kelly says, “I picked her up, and she locked eyes with me. And she hasn’t locked eyes with me in a really long time. And I said, ‘I know you. Do you know me?'” Chewie nodded her head, which made Kelly wonder if she truly did know her. Admittedly, she knows it was most likely the tremor but she felt the connection for that moment. But she adds, “And now I’m talking to this dog. I have full conversations with her now.” After the accident, she was cradling her like a baby and just wanted her nearly 200-year-old (in dog years) pup to give her the answer of what is best for her.

Mark Consuelos Shares An Earlier Scare With Chewie
When Kelly Ripa was tossing around the idea of needing to say goodbye to her, Mark Consuelos revealed they had an earlier scare. She had run off after having the best dog day of eating scones and cream. When she went missing, they were afraid that was her disappearing to die. But Kelly said, she was in heaven on earth that day and there was no way. Mark adds, “She’s a great dog.”
