The Teen Mom 2 mama also updated her Facebook status to read “Feeling Devastated.” That got fans wondering whether they had a fight and broke up.

“Crying Every Day”
“Nugget … I’m crying every day. I love you so much and I’m so sorry. I’m speechless,” she wrote. “You were my sidekick and knew the moment I felt bad and would cuddle with me. You still had a lot to learn and a lot to grow from your lessons.”

No Coming Back From This
The Teen Mom franchise star continued, “Every day I wake up you’re not here, when I come home you’re not here, when I go to bed … you’re not here. You’re gone forever and there’s no coming back. #Heartbroken #Distraught.”

Confirmed
Meanwhile, David confirmed via an Instagram post that he did indeed kill the dog. “I don’t give a damn what animal bites my baby on the face. … Whether it be your dog or mine, a dog is a dog, and I don’t put up with that s–t at all,” he said on May 1.”

Hate Me
“You can hate me all you want, but this isn’t the first time the dog bit Ensley aggressively,” he added. “The only person that can judge [whether] or not [an] animal is a danger to MY CHILD is ME.”

What Else Could He Do?
But Teen Mom fans still (rightfully, tbh) judged David for his violent actions. “He full on let her put her face in the dog’s face, and he knew what was going to happen. So instead of stopping it before she got bit, he just let it play out,” one person wrote, before seemingly warning Jenelle to “Get out of that relationship before something happens to you. He was quick to shoot the dog, so what else is he capable of???!!!”

Unconcerned
But David seems oddly unconcerned by the criticism and possible consequences he could face for shooting Nugget.

Happiness?
He shared a quote to his Instagram Story on May 1 that read, “Happiness depends on your attitude, not on what you have.”

Wrong Attitude
Frankly, that seems like the wrong attitude to have for a guy who just shot his family’s dog. Is he really that blasé about the whole situation?
15 of 16
Final Straw?
Jenelle, at least, seems to be taking things a bit more seriously. She told Us Weekly on May 1 that she’s considering a divorce after her husband killed her dog, “but nothing is finalized.”
