Beador shared the sad news about Archie with fans in a May 14 Instagram post after she announced that her sweet canine companion had received a diagnosis of brain cancer after having seizures.
In the caption of the post, Beador wrote, “Heaven has a new special angel.”
“Archie passed away yesterday and the girls and I are heartbroken. For the last 10 years, Archie wasn’t just my dog - he was my constant comfort, protector, best friend and truly the real ‘man’ in my life,” wrote the RHOC star. “I have been through so many highs and lows, and through every good time and every heartache, Archie was always by my side and loved me the same way every single day. Never judging me and always giving pure, loyal, and unconditional love.”
In addition, Beador shared she was “grateful so many fans had the chance to watch Archie grow up” while filming on RHOC beside her.
“Everyone that got to know him could see his gentle heart and sweet soul. He was loved so much and felt all of it, even winning his Best Appearance award at Bravocon,” continued Beador in the caption.
Beador also shared that all three of her daughters were able to spend time with Archie during “his last day,” where he enjoyed “doing his favorite things- standing in the ocean, sitting in the park, and eating, a lot of eating.”
She also encouraged her fans to “give your animals a hug and kiss for Archie today.”
