AceShowbiz - Jenna Dewan is mourning the loss of Meeka, her cherished 18-year-old canine companion. On Wednesday, May 29th, the 43-year-old actress shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram, accompanied by a series of photos capturing their bond over nearly two decades.
Meeka played a pivotal role in Dewan's life, being present for significant milestones and offering unwavering support through her journey as a mother. She credits Meeka with showing her she could become a mother and being a constant by her side when she welcomed her daughter Everly with ex-husband Channing Tatum.
Despite her reluctance towards children, Meeka adored Dewan's two children, including Callum, whom she shared with fiance Steve Kazee. Dewan shared photos of Meeka protectively watching over Callum as a newborn and a reluctant Halloween dress-up with a young Everly.
"You were the queen diva, quietly ruling the house and I will never be able to express how much I will miss you," Dewan wrote in her tribute. "You were the biggest gift and I am grateful I can still feel you with me."
Meeka's final moments were peaceful, leaving Dewan with a sense of gratitude. "Somehow even in your last moments, you knew what I needed," she expressed. "I love you so much and even though my heart is broken to lose you in the physical, I know you will always be around and watching over all of us."
Dewan is currently expecting her third child with Kazee, and she believes Meeka will be a guardian angel for their new arrival. "You were the biggest gift and I am grateful I can still feel you with me," she wrote. "Somehow even in your last moments, you knew what I needed."
Celebrity friends and fans alike expressed their condolences and shared their own experiences with pet loss. "Jenna, I'm so sorry," wrote Nina Dobrev. "Sending you so much love right now." Actress Vanessa Hudgens added, "Oh mannnn sending you so so so much love."
Jenna Dewan's loss of Meeka is a poignant reminder of the deep bond between humans and their pets, and the lasting impact they have on our lives. Meeka's love, loyalty and companionship will be forever cherished by Dewan and her family.
