Kylie Jenner mourns loss of beloved family member

Kylie Jenner, 28, just took to Instagram today, October 22, to share the unfortunate news of the passing of her beloved Italian greyhound, Norman. Jenner received Norman, who lived to be almost 13, as a Christmas present when she was 17, and it’s been pure love and companionship ever since.

Norman, or Normie as Jenner affectionately called him, was a regular star on the Jenner family’s reality TV shows over the years, including Keeping Up With the Kardashians. He also made frequent appearances on Jenner’s social media accounts. At one point, Jenner even created Norman his own Instagram account, which he shared with his sister dog, Bambi, another of Jenner’s Italian greyhounds.
