Lindsey Vonn, an alpine skiing legend, is ruthless, and successful in the competitive world of alpine racing. The celebrated American alpine ski racer boasts an illustrious career spanning four Olympic Games. She secured three Olympic medals, notably becoming the only American woman to clinch an Olympic gold medal in downhill skiing. Recently, however, the skier has been left helpless while chasing another challenge.

Even after enduring a terrifying crash during training at the 2006 Olympics, she rebounded swiftly, earning her the U.S. Olympic Spirit Award for her tenacity and comeback. Not everywhere she can conquer achievement, as sometimes one needs to accept defeat and that is the same that happened with Vonn. She recently welcomed another dog into her home back in 2022, and the rest is hilarious history for the legend.

The Olympic downhill champion announced the news by sharing a photo of herself with the newest members and her two other pups. Now she has three dogs namely Jade, Leo, and Lucy. But fur babies come with trouble written in their bones. Vonn keeps sharing sweet moments on social media, with her dogs, especially Jade. Whether selfies with her or cute video of Jade giving Lindsey extra encouragement and motivation during a workout.

Lindsey Vonn previously shared a picture about Jade, where she could be seen glancing at her mama. Looking at the photo we wonder if maybe she’s keeping mom up at night. Who knows it could be a cuddlesome night for them. Vonn recently shared a mischievous video of Jade where she could be seen tearing pillows apart.

The athlete returned from the mountains and saw such a scenario. The floor, couch, mats, and every single thing nearby is filled with cushion feathers. Clearly Jade is not the culprit here, it’s just a rare case of “pillow self-explosion“. She is definitely not going to miss the snow from the mountain now.

Jade’s arrival is undoubtedly a source of joy for the family, especially considering the recent loss of Lindsey’s treasured dog, Bear. Losing a beloved pet can be an incredibly painful experience. It leaves a great void in one’s heart that is immeasurable. It’s even more challenging when a pet’s life is cut short at just 7 years old, as was the case with Bear.

Bear held a cherished place in Lindsey’s heart, as well as other two canine companions Leo, and Lucy. When Bear passed away in January, Lindsey shared a heartfelt message that resonated deeply with those who knew him.  The addition of Jade is a hopeful sign that the family is taking steps toward healing.

While Jade will never replace Bear, she has the potential to provide comfort, and companionship, to the family. Through Instagram posts let’s just say it looks like Jade is precisely where she belongs. As she captioned her first picture, “The pack has grown! Welcome Jade to our family. There was a hole in our lives with the loss of Bear and we were also missing a protector (as you can imagine Leo and Lucy are a tad bit lazy). Nothing will replace Bear but we now have an incredible protector again and are so grateful.”

The bond between humans and their pets is a powerful and irreplaceable one, and the grief of losing a furry family member can be overwhelming. From the looks of it, Jade is loving her new mama to pieces, and she’s settled right in as a member of the pack.
