Bethenny’s Dog Cookie Has Passed Away

October 28, 2017 by tamaratattles 99 Comments

Bethenny Frankel started to worry about Cookie yesterday. This evening Cookie started having seizures. I think she was at her Hamptons house and her vet is in NYC. She finally got in touch with a vet and it was time to put her down.

Cookie was around 17 years old. That is a lot of bonding time with a dog and clearly Cookie is her favorite. Bethenny is a hot mess. I was told that she was posting and IG during a forty-five minute seizure hysterical and begging people to tell her what to do. Cookie had a couple seizure earlier and Bethenny was asking on Twitter if she should take her to vet or keep her home and calm. He pleas to social media were heartbreaking.

Updated: Cookie is in the hospital ALIVE, for now.

UPDATED: Cookie was unable to recover from the seizures and passed away in the hospital.

If you post the stupid rainbow bridge story, you will be banned. 

Updated: Bethenny’s driver Kevin has arrived at the hospital.

    Oh my God. I am heartbroken for her. Cookie has been her one constant, her one unconditional love.

    If you have never seen a dog with seizures, it is VERY frightening. (Had an epileptic poodle once)

      Our pug is epileptic and had to go on seizure meds last year. He’s 12. It is frightening to watch and not be able to do much to help. I’m very sorry for Bethenny. It’s heartbreaking to lose a pet.

      Cookie was far and away my favorite thing about Bethany. I lost my Blue Merle Aussie after 17 years, ( got him in 87, long before Aussies were cool) he still shows up in unexpected places … I had three kids and they all know he is my favorite.

      Heartbroken for her.

    I actually called T.O.D. a bit early. She has been driving to the vet and Cookie is unconscious and will have to be put down. Also, apparently it was her weekend with Bryn and she was witness to the entire horror. Bethenny is a wreck. The story just keeps getting works. She has literally been going through hours of this.

    RIP sweet girl, you were loved by the Bravo audience including myself.

    So sorry to hear this. Cookie was her first child, much love to Bethenny and Brynn. I actually had a cat for 29 years, healthy and spry to the end. He walked into the room, gave me half a meow and fell over. He said goodbye and broke my heart.

          Oh Yoya i am feeling your pain. I have been going through Lymphoma with my 7 yr old baby since the beginning of July. Once weekly chemo and a variety of prednisone and antibiotics and appetite stimulants. The 2 tumors are shrinking significantly but there is a huge difference in the different types of chemo and his energy/hunger levels. u have had indoor cats all my life and have never had to see a vet for anything beyond normal shots and checkups so this has been a really different but interesting experience. I cancelled one of my two vacations to pay for it but worth every penny. I’m also fortunate to have been recommended to this vet, she is truly a pioneer in the oncology field.

            Lymphoma is what my little Buttons had. The doctors told us we could do chemo, but the tumour was inoperable and the outlook was just not good. She had it throughout her body. I hope it goes well for you and the tumours keep shrinking.

            PSA: silica crystal cat litter is carcinogenic! I didn’t know, and after losing two cats to abdominal tumours I have to wonder if that was the cause.

              As far as the cancer spreading, fingers crossed, his blood work and ultrasounds have been good so far. i hope you rescue again when you are ready, i can’t imagine not having two spazzing cats to entertain me and love me?

    Poor Bethany. It’s so hard when a pet dies, even when they are old and you know the end is near. I’m glad she has the new two, though. It really helps. When my boy passed away last year I cried every single day until I got my new puppy, it’s never the same but it helps. Cookie had a very long and cared for life.. she was a very lucky girl to find Bethany.

    Ugh how awful. Totally heartbreaking loss! ! Have a 6 year old puggle that i love like family, especially since I’m in my mid40s with no children so he’s particularly sentimental about him.

    We lost our family dog a couple of years ago, when he was only 8, he was sick too. Before that I never experienced the loss of a pet. I tweeted Lisa Vanderpump asking her for advice on how she deals with the loss & I found her response so touching. She said losing them is so hard but we gave him love & a good home & so many don’t have happy lives. Have to say I appreciated it at the time & was such a nice thought.

    I’ve been driving some of my gays* crazy about what to do with Banjo. He’s 80 pounds and my vet won’t see him unless he is heavily sedated and muzzled. Even then they had to give him his shots at the end of a long stick. He’s about at the end of his life expectancy. And I have had MULTIPLE freakouts on Twitter went he gets a bit off.

    He’s my first dog. I didn’t really know much about having a dog before he rescued me. I don’t dress him up in ridiculous costumes. He doesn’t sit in my lap. He does his thing I do mine. He rarely goes to his crate until I am down for the night, Only then does he wander over there. We argue about his food. I don’t walk him enough anymore. I am either asleep or on the computer. We argue about his diet every night but that is about it. My vet hates him and me. I have no clue what to do when he dies.

    I don’t understand how people get a second dog. No dog will every be as great as Banjo. I’m not looking forward to this,

      Tamara, people get second dogs eventually because they learn that the human heart has the capacity to love another. They won’t ever take your Banjo’s place, but they do carve out their very own niche.
      After my first one died, my honey gave me some money the next day and urged me to go to the animal shelter. I did, and had an emotional breakdown and left, knowing that they are a high kill shelter and anyone not saved would probably end up put to sleep. Every time I have had to euthanize an animal I swore not to get another because the pain of losing them was just too horrible.
      A short while later, a large rescue dog found me, in horrible shape. Then another, and another, and another…now they are all getting on in years except one, and I dread “that” day. All the same, I wouldn’t change the time I had with them for the world. They never took the place of my heart’s companion, who was my very first dog–but I love them just as much in different ways.
      I’m sorry, back to my lurking corner now!
      My heart goes out to anyone on the loss of a pet.

        I’m kind of a horrible person because a fellow teacher of mine took a week off when her dog died.

        I’d never had a dog. And I only got one because of a break in.

        My stupid thought at the time was, “well just go get another one…”

        Now I can’t imagine getting another one. Banjo rescued the biggest idiot on the planet. When I got THE CRAZY he barely gets walked, though he does have a big backyard. He gets the fancy dog food and is also responsible for me eating organic because I researched all the best dog foods, but I think he might have been happier if he had rescued someone more active.

        He’s watching me right now waiting for me to turn the light out and go to bed. I started sleeping on the couch so I could wake up and see that he was fine every morning. He trained me on when he needed to go out by randomly sitting in doorways.

        I can’t imagine loving another dog like I love Banjo.

        I hate these depressing posts.

          I lost my 19 year old chihuahua cross pug Chester not long ago and it damn near killed me. Chester was my baby and my best friend before I had a human kid.

          I got a new dog a year later and it was too soon. I hate this dog, because it is not Chester.

          It is a perfectly satisfactory dog in every way, but it isn’t Chester.

              I agree. If you “hate” your dog, find a new loving home for it. It won’t be hard. I’m surprised that you use the word “hate”. I’m not surprised you may not be ready now, or ever, for another dog, but to use the word “hate” is disturbing. That dog deserves a loving home.

            I agree, may be best if you are having regrets and negative feelings about the dog to that extent, to let another family adopt the dog. Then you would give yourself the time and space you need to work through missing Chester before you get another one.

          If I could and if you wanted it, TT, I would get you a glass of wine and a hug.
          My 3 dogs, aged 11, 9, and 5 are sleeping around me. No kidding when I say I cook for everyone out of sheer fear of losing them (chickens and humans too). I lost 2 young bantam hens 2 weeks ago and I am still coping.
          Our family has lost many pets. It is part of choosing to take them in. I worked at a tropical fish wholesaler for 10 years. The losses of fish were a daily thing but no one “got used” to it.
          Banjo has a good long life ahead. Do not listen to those life expectancy fear mongers. Love him, play with him, give him good food and all the water he wants.

          Tonight’s menu for everyone except the chickens is chicken soup with noodles and vegetables. The chickens get hard boiled eggs, canned vegetables, yogurt, pellet food and grain.
          Yes, excessive and obsessive.

          My first pug will never be replaced in my heart. And, really he has not. However, I did end up getting 3 more pugs. I started doing some rescue volunteering and was slated to transport and elderly female pug to a foster. Let’s just say she never made it. 4 Years later I have adopted 2 more old dogs. All three are kooky, broken and terribly imperfect. One has one eye and is 34 lbs, the other has a 6-inch tongue. I think I will almost be more sad when one of my rescues passes. I did not know them as a puppy, as a youthful dog or healthy. I wonder about their past and if I am somehow able to make up for any unhappiness or abandonment. But it definitely made the passing of my first pug better, knowing that I gave him a complete life from puppy-hood to old man.

      My husband and I had our golden, Yeller, for 16 years. My hubs never wanted a dog. Although Yeller loved me Yeller chose Rabi as his human. That dog was our child. When he moved to heaven the silence in our lives was deafening. A little miracle came to us in the form of a Lab named Molly. Ten years later we can’t imagine not having her. Two beautiful dogs, truly blessed.

        Lets hear it for the “knot heads”! (Cause goldies and labs have that knot in their skull snd they are goofballs!)

        My folks have had labs and goldens (with one poodle and one shepard like mutt in the mix) My cat ADORED the goldie they had when I first got my cat. Seriously, when I needed a cat sitter, all I had to do was set up a litter box at their house, bring the food, and then just let the cat loose in their house. Beeline for the dog. When their next dog (neglected neighbors dog) started coming around to play with the Goldie outside, my cat was simultaneously heartbroken and PISSED.

        When the goldie passed unexpectedly, my cat never warmed up to any of the others. Attacked one twice… and won both times.

        My plan is, when my cat does pass, is to have him cremated. I will keep some of the ashes, and the rest will be spread over the goldies grave.

            Me too, but I am realistic because he is 17. FYI, the neglected neighbor dog was one of the best and smartest dogs I have ever known. I am grateful they surrendered her to my folks.

            I love my cat, but he IS an asshole to other people. There is a CAUTION warning on his file at the vets. I had to board him a couple of times at a facility.

            They literally gave up the cat playroom for him, so they could avoid his teeth and claws.

    I’m so sad for Bethenny right now. I get how much she loved Cookie. Putting them to sleep is so much worse than when they go naturally and at home.
    Its making me extra emotional because I’m going through health issues with my cat of 10 years. She was diagnosed as diabetic a month ago. She got feline acne on her chin and it got infected. Her temp reached 105 and I thought I was going to lose her that night. She got through that but has another two big ones this week. Doctor popped one and gave her a shot of antibiotics. She opened the other accidentally by scatching her chin and I squeezed it which made her stay under the bed for a day. Now I wash her chin with Ivory soap daily and have to put got packs on it for now. I’m afraid I’ll lose her, not due to the acne but finances. Insuulin runs $250 a bottle and it should last almost 2 minths… I hope. So far it’s been almost $800. Nothing will make me hate myself worse than having to lose my baby because I’m a loser who can’t pay for her meds and get appointments. (Call me Soggy right now.)

      Bee – my heart goes out to you. I’m not sure where you live, but look around online for help with your pet’s RX costs. There are some charities that will help. Also – don’t buy the Rx from your vet – take the script to WalMart as their pet prescriptions and even tick pills are a lot less. Do not ever think of yourself as a loser just because vets and pharmaceuticals are overpriced. Take care

          THe tick medical I bought at the vet’s was $90 but at Walmart it’s $3. Wait – I might be thinking the worm prevention medicine – I don’t remember the Rx but I do remember the prices!! : )

    Dukie Dachshund has had probably 300 seizures over his 13+ years, including 2 hospital stays for grand mals. Pretty sure that’s why his owners gave him up. He takes the max meds allowed and still had a breakthrough seizure today. He still thinks he’s the man!

    I can’t get past Bethenny posting it apparently while it’s happening.

    My friend has her husband’s ashes in her bedroom next to those of her pets. She deeply loved them all and it gives her comfort.

    How sad. Bethenny seems to love very, very few beings, and Cookie was definitely one of them. My sympathies to her and Bryn.

    Slightly OT, but I hope Tamara will allow this “public service announcement”. When it was time to let go of my dear dog, Fancy, I learned that there are services that will come to your home. It was the best possible situation for a difficult experience. Two lovely ladies came, we kept the lights low, Fancy was able to be in her own bed, in her home. It was very peaceful and again, as easy as it could have been. My sister has used a similar service since in a different city so I think this is available in more & more places.

    It is, of course, more expensive than taking a pet to the vet. However, my service has a corresponding charity & I donated so that another family who couldn’t afford it could have the same experience. So that might be a possibility.

    My condolences to all who grieve their animal friends.

    I feel her pain. We lost our beloved Max to type 2 diabetes which I had never heard of in dogs. Now we have a big rescue Bear. No table scraps for him. My rescue cat Holly is 18 and totally blind. She is doing fine otherwise. She spends most days in our yard in a straw/ hay pile in our bushes by the front door . She never leaves the yard. On sunny days she loves to lie in the driveway. It’s cold now so she comes in the doggy door and is laying by the heat vent in the kitchen. It’s Soo hard to lose a pet. I hope she goes to the North Shore Animal rescue and saves a dog from there.

    Not sure how to feel about Cookie being alive. It’s a mix of “YAY! She’s alive” and “We have have to do this all over again?”

    That was a rough night for me and I only had someone telling me how heartbreaking the IG story was. Bethenny must be a wreck today.

          I watched about 2 seconds past Cookie’s seizure, saw B’s face, and couldnt watch more since there was absolutely nothing I could do.

          I am not kidding when I say that if I had been in driving distancw I would have DMd with an offwr to drive or at least made local phone calls to vets.

          I should have messaged you. I was awake too, loving on my 17 yr old cat and reading way too many political tweets.

          You do realize that the woman has been using goddamn social media non stop for the past 6 weeks to get help for others, AND IT WORKED. At 1 am, with no vet nearby, she grabbed at the most immediate straw and you are being a total cunt about it.

          People use social media in very different ways. The value in getting an immediate response became crystal clear during the recent spate of natural and not-so-natural disasters. It’s an SOS tool, and a damned fine one if you have a decent-sized network.

          Sorry for Bethenny and Bryn’s loss. Losing a long-time furry companion – one who just loves you without judgement – is the pits. Cookie’s had a long, fine life thanks to Bethenny.

      Its ok. We saw the pups briefly this past season, but with the other drama it was wasy to miss.

      Beth was on Radio Andy with Andy, and said that Bethenny messaged her and said they were ready for a puppy, and could she (Beth S) set them up. I assume Bethenny meant her and Brynn. Lets face it… Cookie pribably hasnt had much energy for a 5 to 7 year old. Probably has been completely Mama’s dog.

      So Beth S. tikd her she had 2, dropped off both for an over night or weekend visit to see which fit in the home best… and of course Bethenny kept both! Their names are Biggie and Smalls, and they are tiny fluffy bits of complete adorableness.

    Hope Cookie will be OK. Bethenny did say last season that Cookie was blind too. So scary not being near your vet, plus trying to keep somewhat calm for Brynn. Pets are family.

    Spent last week running back and forth to vet with my 12 y/o Pom who tested borderline Pancreatitis. She’s fine now but I didn’t handle it well.

    Hoping for good news on Cookie.

(Mainly dogs and a couple cats) I’m crying right now thinking about it. I’ll say a prayer for Cookie and Bethenny.

      If you have no compassion for someone who is alone with their young child at their vacation home where they have no vet, freaking out because he dog is dying, then you are a shit person.

      The dog had never had seizures before. She had no idea how to deal with the seizure she reached out to a large group of people hoping a vet would answer and one did.

      Mary, there is no correct way to act when hit with a traumatic event like this. However, there is a right way to act towards someone who’s going through trauma and that is to show compassion. The fact that you don’t have it in you to show kindness right now speaks volumes. The sad part is that the way we treat others is the way we treat ourselves too. I hope you’ll grow into a kinder human being than who you are today.

      That’s what shocked me the most when my dog died. I always expected the process of putting him down to be quick – I don’t know why it never crossed my mind that that’s not the only way for dogs to go. The night he was hospitalized was the worst of my life. I was in such shock upon realizing that I am faced with this big waiting game and I knew it won’t end well. We got a phone call that he is not responding to any treatment and we need to come to the hospital to put him out of his misery. When we got there he didn’t even recognize us anymore. I am the opposite of a religious person but I found myself repeating again and again a prayer I learned as a child. I am surprised my heart didn’t stop that awful morning.

          That is my nightmare. We had to put two of our beloved family dogs down when I was younger, and more recently, our Socs and Gizmo, and blessedly we were able to say goodbye to each with them calm and it went smoothly with the vet. Socs had terminal cancer very young and her symptoms took a sudden turn and we knew we could no longer selfishly keep her with us, and as I mentioned before, Gizmo had seizures at a ripe old age. Just a few, and while they were horrible to witness, it was not long and drawn out like this with Cookie.

          In both cases we got to bring our babies to the vet, spend time with them, say goodbye, and peacefully have them fall asleep in our arms. It’s gut wrenching, but I can imagine worse ways to have to part with your furbabies.

          I’m getting so emotional over this. Sweet cookie is resting with all the other furbabies in heaven <3

    That is how we ultimately lost my beautiful girl Gizmo at age 16, she just started having seizures and they were severe. One she had one after another, we knew we had to let her go.

    Poor Bethenny. I saw her IG post earlier today and I legit shed a tear. There is nothing like losing your furry baby companion, she and Cookie have been through so much. That is her child. My baby Nestle is almost 12 and though he is healthy, thank god, I dread the day he is no longer by my side.

    RIP Cookie

    How stressful for Bethenny and Brynn. So heartbreaking for them. I know that feeling and would only wish it on a very few “special” people. A pet is our touchstone, however we pet parent. They are frequently closer to us than our family, and the grief is as profound. I never really understood until I had my own sweet Molly for 16 years. I’ll bet Bethenny feels like in some ways it seems like forever that Cookie was in her life and in others it went like a flash. I’m glad she has Brynn.
