Kylie Jenner Mourns Beloved Italian Greyhound Norman Who Passed Away at 13
On Wednesday, October 22, Kylie Jenner shared an Instagram tribute to her dog Norman, announcing his passing at the age of “13 years old.”
Accompanying a series of pictures of the Italian greyhound, she penned, “In Loving Memory of My Sweet Norman.” She continued, “I vividly recall the day I welcomed you into my home. My affection for anything had never run so deep. Throughout my childhood, I always yearned for an Italian Greyhound, but my mother consistently denied me one. Subsequently, just after my 17th birthday, you arrived as a Christmas present, proving to be the most wonderful gift I could have ever been given.”
She went on to say, “Normy, you brought unadulterated happiness into my life and the lives of countless others. Despite reaching nearly 13 years of age, I am certain your memory will endure with me for much longer than the period we spent together. I truly wish I weren't composing this message. I recognized your advancing age and attempted to brace myself, but saying goodbye to you, Norm, is incredibly difficult.”
The 28-year-old Jenner expressed gratitude that her children had the opportunity to know Norman. She and her former partner, Travis Scott, are parents to Stormi, 7, and Aire, 3.

She concluded her message, stating, “It brings me comfort to know my children had the chance to meet and cherish you. My sweet Normyyyy. My heart is heavy with grief for you. Rest peacefully, my beloved Normandle. I will love you eternally.”
Norman was a well-known figure among Jenner's followers, often featured prominently on her Instagram feed. Back in 2019, admirers raised concerns about the canine when they observed his absence from her social media updates.
At that point, Jenner questioned on Instagram, “What leads you to believe anything has befallen my Norman?” She clarified, “While I may not share photos of my dogs as frequently, it does not imply they are no longer a significant part of my existence.”
The creator of Kylie Cosmetics previously managed an Instagram profile dedicated to Norman and her other greyhound, Bambi. In 2016, the pair welcomed a litter of puppies.

By 2023, Jenner was the devoted owner of seven dogs, confiding in Interview Magazine that employing a dog nanny was the most invaluable staff addition she had ever made.
“Their numbers just grew,” she remarked about her canine companions. “One of them gave birth, and I felt compelled to keep the entire family unit intact.”
This somber announcement from Jenner follows closely on the heels of her musical premiere, which saw her drop the track “Fourth Strike” with pop duo Terror Jr on October 14, operating under her alias King Kylie.
This new release serves as a continuation of the duo’s earlier track, “Three Strikes.” At that time, speculation circulated that Jenner, who had partnered with Terror Jr for the song, was in fact the group's principal vocalist (their identities were undisclosed then).
While she had refuted these claims, she alluded to the past speculation upon the launch of “Fourth Strike,” posting on Instagram, “A decade ago, a small rumor suggested I was the true singer on 3 Strikes! It wasn't me (though I wished it had been), so I conceived the concept of reuniting for Fourth Strike, with ME actually being FEATURED! @terror.jr, thank you for crafting yet another flawless song and for entrusting me with this feature! I was incredibly anxious yet immensely thankful.”
