'The doctors asked me to make a list of my reasons for living. [Her dog] Petunia was the one and only thing on that list,' the artist recalled in an emotional essay she penned for Elle (via toofab)
"Petunia and I moved to Connecticut in December 2020, in the wake of my severe mental health breakdown and what appeared to be the impending end of my marriage," she wrote."We fused even more deeply together in an attuned and totally symbiotic relationship. She never let me out of her sight.
The 37-year-old said that Petunia"became an entirely new version of herself" to take care of her owner. In the essay, Tendler detailed Petunia's health struggles, sharing that the canine suffered from heart disease as well as"brain tumor or brain stem disease." Last April, following the deterioration of Petunia's health, Tendler"made the decision that Petunia's life should come to a close."
"I am heartbroken that John has decided to end our marriage. I wish him support and success as he continues his recovery," Tendler said in a statement at the time.
