Kelsea Ballerini’s Doodle Dibs just turned 10!

On her Instagram Story, Kelsea shared a tribute to her beloved dog.

The photos showed her furry friend basking in the sun, along with the caption: “Double digits for my ride or die. Love you forever, Dibs.”

The birthday boy (dog) is wearing a “Happy Birthday” bib and a party hat. He even smiles as if he knows it’s his special day.

Dibs has been by Kelsea’s side through tours, writing sessions, a high-profile divorce, and big career wins! Ten years old is a big deal for any dog, but especially this one, as he has been battling cancer.

Last August, Dibs was diagnosed with an inoperable heart cancer. Kelsea was told then that he didn’t have much time left, but Dibs has exceeded those expectations and continues to stay happy and active.

Kelsea just headlined the CMA Fest this past weekend. During that appearance, she performed her smash “Cowboys Cry Too,” surprising fans with her duet partner, Noah Kahan.
