Miranda Lambert Announces the Death of Her Dog, Jessi
Miranda Lambert is mourning the loss of her dog Jessi this week. The singer shared that the dog she found in a sleet storm in early 2008 died on Thursday (July 29). The news comes nine months after the death of Jessi's brother, Waylon.
Both dogs were on the side of the road that day in January. They were just six weeks old when Lambert and her mother drove past them while listening to a Jessi Colter album.
"That’s how they got their names," she writes. Waylon Jennings was Colter's husband. "The truth is they belong together. They always have. I know she missed him terribly and we are so thankful to have had extra time. Today they are reunited at the rainbow bridge. We sent her off with the song “Storms Never Last” from the same record she heard playing the first time I put her in my truck."
