All dogs go to heaven!
Kameron Westcott is mourning the death of her dog Louis.
The Real Housewives of Dallas star’s prized pooch died on Sept. 8 at the age of 15½.
“He was my rock,” Kameron told PEOPLE of Louis. “Everything reminds me of him. I walk around the house, I have his bowls out. His closet, I have so many clothes for him. I turn on my iPhone, he’s there. It’s everywhere I turn and I just miss him so much.”
Kameron got Louis when she was a 21-year-old college student.
Over the years, Louis has been beside Kameron for every major moment in her life including her engagement to her now-husband Court Westcott.
“I always said, ‘Louis is going to help me find his daddy one day,’” Kameron recalls. “Back during my dating life, he checked out all the boys. Whoever I dated, if Louis didn’t like ’em, they were gone in two seconds. He would literally growl at people. And the first person that he fell in love with who I ever dated, was Court.”
“Louis used to have this little backpack where we kept his treats,” Kameron says of Louis helping Court propose. “So one day, Court takes me on this walk to this park in Highland Park where he played as a kid. And we’re in this gazebo and he goes, ‘Why don’t you get a treat out for Louis?’ And of course I’m pulling treats out and there was like a diamond in his backpack.”
“It was so special,” Kameron continues. “Louis was always there for those moments. He was there at our wedding, in a little tux. Holidays, birthdays… When I was pregnant, he would sit there and look at my tummy. I’d say, ‘Our baby is coming’ as he sat with me on the rocking chair in the baby’s nursery — which he thought was for him. When I came home from the hospital after giving birth to my kids (Hilton, 8, and Cruise, 6), Louis was there waiting. He’s been with my through it all. I can’t imagine life without him.”
Kameron says Louis’ death was hard for her but even harder for her kids. To cope with the loss, Kameron and her husband hired a therapist to help them.
“We knew it was going to be extremely hard,” says Kameron.
“It’s been really hard,” Kameron adds. “His ashes came home on Friday in a mahogany box, and the kids have been carrying his ashes around. They’ve been asking him to go to their sport games with us, to bring him in the car. He slept in the bed with us. They’re treating the ashes as if it’s him. It’s really sweet.”
“Take as many pictures as you can. Enjoy the moments, ’cause you never know when it’s your last kiss,” she says. “I give him a kiss every single time I left town. But I was flying to New York right before his death, and this was the only time I didn’t give him a kiss — the only time. And now he’s gone. That’s what was so hard.”
Adding that she feels so grateful for all the wonderful years that she had with Louis.
“Even just being able to talk to him right now is uplifting to me,” she continues. “He’s was the best and I’m always going to love him.”
The Real Housewives of Dallas airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo.
