Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador had to say goodbye to her golden retriever, Archie Beador,
Since last month, Archie has had a seizure and was diagnosed with brain cancer.
Goodbye to a good boy:
Shannon shared her family’s sad news on Instagram. She paired her heartfelt message with John Lennon’s Beautiful Boy.
“Heaven has a new special angel. Archie passed away yesterday, and the girls and I are heartbroken. For the last 10 years, Archie wasn’t just my dog. Archie was my constant comfort, protector, best friend, and truly the real ‘man’ in my life.”
“I have been through so many highs and lows, and through every good time and every heartache, Archie was always by my side and loved me the same way every single day. Never judging me and always giving pure, loyal, and unconditional love.”
Shannon continued, “I am grateful so many fans had the chance to watch Archie grow up. Everyone that got to know him could see his gentle heart and sweet soul. He was loved so much and felt all of it, even winning his Best Appearance award at Bravocon.”
“Stella was able to fly home from Paris. Archie spent his last day doing his favorite things- standing in the ocean, sitting in the park, and eating, a lot of eating. More than just his usual carrots.”
“One of the most selfless and thoughtful things Archie did was to bring Troy into our lives so we aren’t alone. There is such a void in our household right now. Troy continues to look for his big brother which is heartbreaking. I keep thinking he is just taking a nap but Archie is now a very special angel in heaven and is swimming, running, and playing catch with no more pain. The girls and I are so blessed to have spent 10 years with the most incredible companion anyone could ask for.”
“I am going to be posting a lot about our handsome boy. There are so many amazing memories. And thank you is not even an accurate phrase to express our gratitude for so many of you that have reached out with your love and support. Please give your animals a hug and kiss for Archie today. 🤍🤍🤍”
