We wanted to take a moment to send General Hospital’s Jon Lindstrom (Kevin) and Days of Our Lives‘ Cady McClain (Jennifer) our deepest condolences. The actors took to social media to announce some very sad news and shared, “Mr. Peanut has gone to meet his maker.” A beautiful photo of their sweet boy accompanied her post, as McClain reflected on their life together.

“Those of you who know me well know how close this little man and I were,” the Emmy winner stated, then went on to express how bonded they were, “right at the heart bone,” and how loyal they were to one another “through thick and thin.”

McClain shared in a post that Lindstrom re-grammed that she had made a promise to Mr. Peanut when he was just a wee little one at six weeks old, a promise that “he would never suffer. That his life would be full of joy and that he would always know he was loved.” And she made good on that throughout Mr. Peanut’s life right up until the end.

“Anyone who tried to hurt this dog met my wrath, and I’m not sorry one bit.” And anyone who owns a pet and loves them like family would agree.

“It was my honor and privilege to love this guy. I think he felt the same about me,” she continued and expressed how grateful she is to still feel the pup with her. “It is a kind of energetic proof to me that there is life beyond the body. Even for dogs. We do not become ‘nothing.’ That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.”

McClain also sent a message to those who may be trying to reach out during this very difficult time. “If you call and I don’t pick up, please know… I’m just tired. It’s been a big week. If you think of it or care to, whisper a little ‘Good boy’ to Mr. P… and to all the good boys and girls out there who share this planet with us,” she urged. “We are so lucky to live in a world filled with dogs.”

Just three days ago, McClain shared another post about their pup and stated, “Yesterday was a very beautiful day in NYC, and it was a day devoted to Mr. Peanut. I don’t know how many more days he will have (do any of us?) but darn if they won’t be full of all the love he has given me.”

And loved he was… That is very much evident. Again, our condolences go out to Lindstrom and McClain.
