Demi Lovatohas some new ink and it carries a very sentimental message.
On Wednesday the 26-year-old singer shared a photo of her new ankle tattoo on Instagram stories, which features a drawing of her late dog’s face with the words “Buddy was here.”
“Thank you @_dr_woo for the incredible portrait of my late angel buddy,” she wrote alongside the photo. “RIP @demisbuddy. I will love you and never forget you.”
Lovato got Buddy in December 2014 and shared the pup with her then-boyfriend actor Wilmer Valderrama. The Instagram account @DemisBuddy is still live and features 76 photos of the dog with Lovato and Valderrama, who are referred to as “mom” and “dad” in captions.
At the time, Lovato shared the sad news with fans on Twitter. “We are absolutely heartbroken to be writing this but Wilmer and I are devastated to inform you that we lost our little angel Buddy last Sunday,” she Tweeted.
“He was taken from us way too soon in a tragic accident and though I will never know why this had to happen, I do know that God only puts us through situations that we can handle so with that, together we are staying strong.”
The couple dated for six years before their split in June 2016, but they’ve remained close friends ever since.
In July, Lovatosuffered an overdoseat her Hollywood Hills home and was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai in L.A. immediately following. She remained in the hospital for nearly two weeks before being released toseek in-patient treatment.
Asecond source also told PEOPLEthat he “spent hours at the hospital with Demi every day. He seems very concerned about her.”
