'The wounds have begun to heal but the scar will remain on my heart forever,' the RHONY star wrote (via toofab)
star took to Instagram Saturday to pay tribute to her ex-boyfriend Dennis Shields, who died of an overdose last August."One year ago today, I woke up to a beautiful sunny day with @biggysmallz by the pool, and my world crumbled and turned upside down in an instant," Frankel captioned a photo of Shields with their dogs. "A man Dennis, who I loved and respected, who was in my life for 30 years unexpectedly passed away.
"Dennis insisted we adopt biggy AND smallz for my daughter Peanut," she continued. "He simply couldn't imagine separating them. We racked our brains staying up late coming up with the perfect name for two dogs from the same litter with very different body types. Thing 1 & Thing 2 was an option but Peanut found it degrading. Lenny & Squiggy was a good one but I knew it would only appeal to the over 40 set.
"Then at 5am, Dennis was waiting for me to wake up and in his stronger than Tequila New Yawk accent said 'BIGGY AND SMALLZ' and two stars were born," she added. "He loved these dogs and the feelings were mutual. They were particularly fond of his salty bald head. At times, it seemed like he and they spoke the same language and they were the only ones who understood him.
