Pearl (Dog)
Lorde had a Retriever mix dog named Pearl that she adopted in 2018 and tragically passed away in November 2019. Pearl, unfortunately, had various illnesses his whole life and passed away due to two heart attacks in two hours. Lorde shared the message below via her newsletter and also said she was delaying her album to due to her loss.
As anyone who has had the pleasure of raising a dog can understand, my life grew exponentially. Pearl brought an immeasurable amount of joy and purpose into my world. Love vibrated all around us. It was a long process of figuring out what this illness was, and after he dropped some weight over a few weeks in October, a kind specialist finally honed in on the problem. I was giving Pearl the medicines to get him back on track, and everything was looking good. But one day we woke up and I knew, in that way mothers do, that he was sicker than we had realized, and that we were nearing a point where his body wasn’t going to be able to cope.
