Six Degrees Of Sadness: Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedgwick’s Dog Dies
Posted on Jan 10, 2012 @ 04:00AM
It's been a sad start to 2012 for Kevin Bacon and wife Kyra Sedgwick, who lost their dog Paulie, RadarOnline.com has learned.
"I so deeply appreciate the kind words about Paulie," Sedgwick wrote on her Twitter page Tuesday.
Bacon wrote Monday on his WhoSay page in memorial of the Lab mix: "Paulie 1999-2012. Sleep well old friend."

The Wild Things star said his canine had been ailing in recent months; in November, he'd posted a pic of the dog sporting bandages with the caption, "My man Paulie home from the hospital."
The dog was named "Paulie" in honor of Burt Young's scrappy character from the Rocky film series.
"At six weeks he reminded me of Rocky [Balboa's] brother [-in-law] Paulie," Sedgwick told People in 2009. "It made no sense. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. He looked like this little tough guy who the second he came into our apartment wreaked havoc."

You have clearly never formed a true bond with a dog as many of us have, I almost feel sorry for you because it's truly a magical and wonderful experience. They are far more loving and understanding than any human I've ever known.

It's tough when your pet dies - they truly do become members of the family. I'm going through this right now - my little 13-1/2 year old doggie is in her last days too and it's heartbreaking.

I'm also sorry, allie. I lost two of my oldsters last year. You're right, they are a part of your family and it kills you when there is nothing more you can do for them, but that day does come. My best to you and your dog.
