Kylie Kelce mourns dog Baloo’s death with moving tribute and photos
Perhaps the most difficult part about losing a pet is telling your children about the heartbreaking news. Kylie Kelce found herself in the same situation after the unfortunate death of their family dog, Baloo. In a touching Instagram post, she mourned the canine’s demise and recalled sitting her and Jason Kelce’s daughters — Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett — down for the emotional conversation.
“When I told the girls that Baloo was going to leave us, Ellie asked where he was going,” Kylie wrote, claiming she told her baby girl that Baloo “was going to heaven.” The mom of three continued that after hearing her response, Elliotte instantly replied, “Oh! He’ll get to be with Winnie again! They’ll be so happy to see each other!” Winnie was reportedly the Kelce family’s other dog, who passed away about a year ago.
Kylie Kelce remembered Baloo as “the goofiest, sweetest, most lovable, and tolerant dog I’ve ever met” as she grieved his death. She further described him as a “simple guy” who “wanted nothing more than carbs and pets” and was “held together by bubble gum and paper clips.” Despite the “immense” heartbreak, she agreed with Ellie’s words that “the Winnie-Bubba reunion had to be pure magic” before concluding the tribute with a hearty goodbye, “Miss you already Bubbies.”
As for the photos, they documented Baloo’s journey with the Kelces, especially around their three children. Some snaps showed his goofy and cozy moments with the children, with one particular slide showing him lazing around with Winnie. The images captured their wholesome journey together as they said their final goodbyes.
