Miley Cyrus’ dog dies; singer mourns on Twitter as #RIPFLoyd trends

Miley Cyrus’ dog Floyd has died, and the singer mourned her loss publicly Tuesday night on Twitter.

Her plaintive tweets were peppered with broken-heart and sad-kitty emojis, and by Wednesday the hashtag #RIPFloyd was trending on the site in the U.S.

“Today is the 2nd worst day of my life,� she posted Tuesday afternoon, offering no explanation until she returned to Twitter seven hours later.

“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,� she wrote, tweeting a picture of herself cuddling the Alaskan Klee Kai she adopted in July 2011.

“I know I don’t mean it but I wish he would’ve taken me with him, this is unbearable. What am I gonna do without him?� she added, along with another picture. “I am miserable.�

She even fretted about her upcoming Wednesday night “Bangerz� tour performance. “I’m sorry in advance if I am not myself tomorrow Boston. I will try my best to be my best.�

Come Wednesday, Cyrus wasn’t taking too much to the consolation offered.

“what you don’t understand is he’s not in a better place,� she tweeted. “the best place he could be was with me... where he was loved more than anything.�

“this is the 3rd worst day of my life,� she added. “i am beyond miserable.�

Cyrus has a whole pack of rescue dogs: Floyd’s buddies include Bean, Happy, Mary Jane and Penny Lane, with Bean adopted in January 2013, shortly after the death of the singer’s pet Lila. Lila, a Yorkie mix, was accidentally killed by bulldog Ziggy, another Cyrus pup. The singer then brought Ziggy to a rescue group to have him placed in a home with no other dogs or kids, “in case it wasn’t a fluke,� Tish Cyrus explained on her blog.

There was no indication as to the cause of Floyd’s death.
