Devastated: Kathy Griffin has mourned the loss of her dog Pom Pom in a string of heartbreaking posts on Twitter
Kathy first revealed her loss by sharing a heart-warming photo of Pom Pom reclining in her bed with a toy, but still looking up at the camera.
Clearly distraught, she wrote in the caption: 'Tonight we said goodbye to our beloved Pom Pom. She was 13-years-old.
'I know many of you got to know her from My Life on the D-List...Randy and I are heartbroken but relieved that she's not in pain anymore. We miss you already, Pom Pom...you were a very good girl.'

'Such a good girl': Another upsetting post saw her reveal how Pom Pom was always there for the family, despite old age
She went on to discuss Pom Pom's later years - revealing she was still always there for her owners in old age, and that she found a new lease of life from their two excitable puppies Olivia and Elliot.
She continued: 'Up until a week ago she would still gather up all her strength to go out and patrol the front yard...
'While protecting our house from intruders she took the time to also catch some lizards and chipmunks. She would get antsy if she couldn't patrol...she was a working woman.'
Dream team: She also revealed that their two new puppies Olivia and Elliot gave Pom Pom a new lease of life, alongside a selection of sweet photos and clips of the trio (above)
Sharing clips of Pom Pom meeting the young dogs for the first time, and one of the trio playing in the garden, she went on: 'I'm convinced our puppies Olivia and Elliot gave her an extra 7 months of life.
'She wanted nothing to do with them when they first arrived but she begrudgingly accepted them and would occasionally give into their pleas and play with them in the backyard.
'But towards the end of her reign, Pom Pom would give in more and more. The other day she allowed Elliot (who was in love with her) to sit on her bed for 30 whole seconds. It was the best day of his life.'
Distraught: Too overcome to speak, she wrapped her speech by simply sharing further photos of her beloved dog, captioned with heartbroken emojis
Too overcome to speak, she wrapped her speech by simply sharing further photos of her beloved dog, captioned with the words: 'My girl', and a heartbroken emoji.
Many of her 2million followers flooded the thread with their condolences, and urged Kathy to focus on all the happy memories she and Pom Pom shared.
The loss only adds to a difficult year for Kathy, whose career has suffered a blow since her controversial photo shoot - which saw her pose with a severed head resembling Donald Trump - last May.

Bad to worse: The loss adds to a difficult year for Kathy, who came under fire for a controversial photo shoot - which saw her pose with a severed head resembling Donald Trump - last May
The image drew a quick reaction from the Oval Office, with the President himself blasting on Twitter: 'My children, especially my 11 year old son, Barron, are having a hard time with this. Sick!'
The Emmy-winning comic paid lost a number of comedy gigs after the photo's release, and was fired from her annual New Year's Eve hosting job on CNN.
While she initially apologised for the furor, she later rescinded her statement to The Cut in August, by putting a number of the president's own controversies in perspective to her own.
'Why are people still expecting me to apologize and grovel to a man that tweets like this? I’m a comedian; he’s our f***ing president,' she said, while rattling off a list of Trump's contentious statements and actions while in office.
