On July 26, Lambert announced on Instagram that her dog Thelma had passed way. Thelma, who was one-half of a Great Pyrenees pair that Lambert adopted in 2016, “spent her days lounging in the barn and her nights keeping watch over all of us,” Lambert wrote. (The other half of the duo was aptly named Louise.)
The country crooner also shared Thelma and Louise’s adoption story. “May 1 , 2016 I adopted 2 beautiful Great Pyrenees named Thelma and Louise to watch over one of my happiest places on earth. My farm outside of Nashville,” she wrote. “The kitties, chickens and mini horses needed to be looked after and these 2 girls have done that since the day we brought them home.”
Lambert continued, “They rode on my bus all the way from Dallas to Nashville and on that 10 hour drive I fell in love with them. Yesterday, we had to say goodbye to our sweet Thelma…She lived the last 8 years with no fences, just freedom to do what she did best. Love and protect.”

He also wrote about how the dog blossomed over the years. “She was a girl who was so shy no one adopted her as a baby who became a girl who travelled to multiple countries, appeared in three movies, on two magazine covers, and inspired countless works of Zelda-art…”

My other pup Bryn is a little lost. And our hearts ache. But I am glad he is no longer suffering.”
