Liz Johnston Mourns Heartbreaking Loss: A Tribute to Her Late Pup Mill-Dog
Liz Johnston, star of 7 Little Johnstons, has been enjoying the joys of motherhood since giving birth to her daughter, Leighton Drew Bolden, on November 3, 2023. Her social media has been filled with adorable updates of Leighton, from milestone moments to sweet snapshots of the mother-daughter duo. Fans have been showering the baby girl with love, calling her “precious” and “cute” as they follow Liz’s journey into parenthood.
However, amid these joyful moments, Liz recently shared a heartbreaking chapter from her life that left her fans feeling emotional. On social media, Liz opened up about the anniversary of a devastating loss—the passing of her beloved dog, Mill-Dog. In a poignant tribute, Liz marked Mill-Dog’s “heavenly birthday,” reflecting on the pain of losing her furry friend just a few months ago.
A Heartfelt Tribute to Mill-Dog
Mill-Dog, affectionately known by many nicknames like “Miller Man,” “Big Boy,” and “Crazy Boy,” passed away in August 2023 after a tragic accident. His death left a deep hole in Liz’s heart, as he was not just a pet but a family member. Liz shared an emotional post on Instagram, offering a tribute to her late dog. “We lost our Miller Man, Mill-Dawg, Big Boy, Mill, Mill Mill, Crazy Boy to a horrific incident this past weekend,” she wrote. “He’ll never be forgotten.”
In the touching post, Liz included photos of Mill-Dog with Leighton, remembering the good times they shared together. She also shared that she misses him “SO much,” calling him her “crazy boy” in the caption. It was clear from her words how deeply Mill-Dog had impacted her life, and the tribute served as a bittersweet reminder of the love they shared.
Fan Reactions and Controversy
While many fans were moved by Liz’s heartfelt message, others raised concerns. Some fans took issue with the dates Liz shared, pointing out that Mill-Dog had appeared on social media for much longer than just a few months, as her post suggested. Others were less sympathetic, with some criticizing the family’s ability to care for pets. One commenter wrote, “Georgia was gone fast and so was this poor boy. They should not have pets. Anna is the only one who seems capable of caring for a pet.”
Another fan expressed frustration, saying, “Can this entire family (besides Anna) be blacklisted from ever owning animals?! Hopefully, Liz takes better care of her child. F–k this pisses me off.” The comments reflect a mixture of grief for the loss of Mill-Dog and concern about the Johnston family’s ability to responsibly care for animals.
A Mother’s Love and Reflection
Despite the criticism, Liz’s love for her late dog shines through, and it’s clear she’s deeply affected by the loss. As she navigates the challenges of motherhood, she’s also grieving the absence of a loyal companion who was a key part of her life before Leighton was born. It’s a reminder that life is full of both joyous and sorrowful moments, and Liz has shown vulnerability in sharing this difficult chapter with her followers.
What Do You Think?
The loss of Mill-Dog has sparked a conversation among 7 Little Johnstons fans. While some are sympathetic to Liz’s grief, others are more critical, questioning her family’s ability to care for pets and even raising concerns about her ability to raise her child.
