“there are no words to articulate his role in my life, but i couldn’t have done the last ten years without him, and he will always be my soul dog…and i pray and believe we’ll find each other in every life,” she continued. “his love and reach can’t be captured in an instagram photo dump, or in a caption, but here’s a look at some happy from dibs. thank you for loving him so loudly with me. i feel like the luckiest girl in the world that i got to be his dog mom, greatest gift of my life.”

Back in August 2024, Kelsea revealed that Dibs was diagnosed with an inoperable cancer.

This past October, she shared a video of him licking her face on TikTok, writing, “thinking of everyone with a furbaby going through cancer tonight. truly don’t know my adult life without my dibby. he’s fighting so hard. i love him so much. any love or healing energy you wanna send his way, please continue to. we really appreciate it ❤️”

Our hearts go out to Kelsea Ballerini during this difficult time. RIP Dibs.
