Bones joked that he couldn’t handle “the Instagram hate,” to which Eldredge laughed.

“I don’t want to have an influencer dog anymore, I just want to spend time with him all the time,” he added. “That’s why we ended up doing it.”

In May, Eldredge revealed that his Weimaraner/Vizsla mix, whom he adopted in 2016, was now going to be more private.

“I don’t have anybody else with me, so it’s good to have Ed. Ya know? Edgar recently retired from the spotlight, so he is just my pup now. I get more time with him now that he isn’t trying to post pictures and stuff,” thecountry singer told Cody Alan. “It’s been really nice.”

Edgar even appears — no,stars— in Eldredge’s 2018 music video for “Love Someone.”

Besides hanging out with his pup, Eldredge also told Bones he learned to play the piano during quarantine.

“I started taking lessons around last year and then he helped me some,” the singer-songwriter said, referring to his keyboardist. “Repetition, repetition, [because] I don’t read music.”
