LeAnn Rimes took to social media on Thursday to mourn the death of her dog, Eveie, who died after being attacked by a coyote right before her eyes.
“This is one of the most difficult, heartbroken moments our whole family has ever experienced,” Rimes wrote on Instagram, accompanying a slideshow of photos featuring her beloved pet.
“Our baby, Eveie, was attacked in front of us yesterday by a coyote. She was so much more than our dog, she was an old soul,” continued the singer, 36.

“She’d look in your eyes and speak deeply into you without any words. Eddie, the boys and myself are left with such a hole in our family and in our hearts. She was our daughter, our boy’s best friend,” Rimes wrote, referencing husband Eddie Cibrian and his sons, Jake, 11, and Mason, 15, whom he shares with ex-wife Brandi Glanville.
“We’ve taken turns crying and consoling for a day and a half now and it’s far from over,” she shared.
“We were so blessed to have her stumble into our lives, to have LovEd her with every inch of our being and to have her LovE us back just the same,” wrote Rimes. “They’ll never be another Eveie, she was one of a kind.”
The dog’s horrific death has clearly hit Rimes and her family hard, and has led her to reschedule some upcoming concerts.
“Due to a sudden loss, the following shows are being rescheduled,” Rimes wrote on Twitter, informing fans of her decision to postpone three shows.
