Lisa WonderpumpNo Pomeranian dog, Gigi, Has died … leaving a big hole in both Lisa’s heart, and in the hearts of many who have faced the famous Poonch over the years.
The Bravo reality star and owner of Rest Restaurant Runt broke the sad news on Saturday … “We were disappointed to hear that our beloved Gigi passed away this morning. He was really loved, and we know how many of you loved him. . “
Wait for your approval to load Instagram media.
Lisa added, “Our Sweet Gigolo was an incredible, unique dog, but primarily, because of that, we started the Vanderpump Dog Foundation and started our mission to rescue as many dogs as possible.”
Finally, she writes, “He inspired us to start our work in defense, and for that we will always be grateful. Gigi’s legacy will live on by every dog rescued by eVenderpumpdogs. Thank you for your support. Rest in Peace Giggy, we Love you – Ken and Lisa Dolly “
Gigi was probably the most popular of Lisa’s eight of her dogs – often seen dressed in small doggie suits, including mini tux and bow ties, sweaters and hats. The reason … Lisa revealed that Gigi actually suffered from alopecia, which causes patches in the dog’s fur and affects hair growth (the same deal for humans, BTW).
The disease is not fatal … and it is unclear if it had any effect on Gigi’s death. It is possible that Puch died of old age – the youngest was pushing at least 10.
Gigi will also be remembered for her extravagant attire and her red carpet appearance – she often stayed with Lisa for premieres and other events and usually took her instead of walking on debris. Of course, it was also freakin ‘adorable.
The dog was also known for celeb cameos and photoshoots – he got it Ellen DeGeneres, Drake, ‘Real Housewives’ artists … and countless other stars over the years. Gigi also appeared on ‘Ander Nderpump Rules’ many times … he was a fan for sure.
