Miley Cyrus Gets New Puppy To Deal With Dog Floyd's Death

  • 05 April 2014

Miley Cyrus was struck with the tragic news that her beloved dog Floyd had died on Tuesday (April 1st).

The 21 year-old singer has found it hard to cope with the loss, so her mother, Trish, gifted Miley with something she hopes will cheer her up.

To help with the grieving process Cyrus's mom bought her a new puppy, who is cutely named Moonie.

The 'We Can't Stop Singer' took to twitter, which she used frequently this past week to express how devastated she was, to announce the new addition news.

"my mama knew my heart was broken & this morning I woke up to Moonie kisses," Miley tweeted, along with a photograph of the young puppy.

"no one could ever replace my baby Floyd but this precious angel is lendin me some fur to cry on along with my other babies," she later added.

Before being introduced to Moonie, Cyrus was seeking comfort with Mary Jane, the dog whom she and former fiancé Liam Hemsworth adopted. On Thursday (April 4th) the pop-star posted a pic of the rescue canine on Twitter, and the caption read, "crackin a smile thanks to Mary Jane."

"Can't wait to introduce Bean and Happy to Moonie Currently soakin up some Moonie & Mary Jane.... so many emotions I am exhausted," she continued to write on social media on Friday (April 4th).

Cyrus first informed her 17.6 million followers that Floyd, an Alaskan Klee Kai, had passed away earlier this week. "Today is the 2nd worst day of my life," she posted, later adding, "I don't wanna say it because I don't want it to be real... But my precious baby Floyd has passed away. I am broken."
