Kate Gosselin, 51, breaks down in tears over 'strain' from her dogs after one of them broke her leg last year

Kate Gosselin got candid about her struggle to raise two rescue dogs - Meika and Koda - in an emotional TikTok video this week.

The 51-year-old former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star – whose previous dog Nanuq died last December – said she's been having a hard time getting her dog Koda adjusted in her home.

'I was just crying this morning,' she said through tears as she gave her 293,000 followers a 'day 12 update' on Tuesday.

'I’m tired. It’s getting to be a lot, which makes me sound like a baby, but the truth is, I’ve just been on watch constantly hoping nothing happens and watching them all the time,' the former TLC star admitted.

Gosselin said the transition has been 'a lot' at her age. 'I know I raised eight kids, I had six babies. I know all the things, but I am 51 now,' she explained.

This comes seven months after Meika jumped on her so hard she fell and broke her leg, requiring three hours of surgery that left Gosselin with a leg full of pins and plates.

She noted about the Belgian Malinois mix, 'Koda is a humongous personality. She is now very obsessed with her ball, equally as Meika, and she could run forever.'

The video hit a fever pitch as she explained that the rambunctious canine nearly 'destroyed' her late dog Nanuq's bed.

'[Koda] destroyed a rug yesterday and she tried to destroy – this makes me cry – Nanuq's bed that used to be Shoka's,' she said in reference to her past German shepherd.

She continued, 'It’s our favorite bed. I’ve had it for 15 years or more and it’s very special to me.'

'[Koda] sleeps on it at night. It’s the bed we keep in our room. That really upset me. That would really break my heart. And I know that things get destroyed.'

The ex reality TV star said Koda is displaying the same amount of energy as an Alaskan Malamute and it's made her 'doubt' her ability to care for it.

She noted that the 'pressure,' 'strain,' and 'stress' has weighed heavily on her and boyfriend Steve Neild.

'At the end of the day, probably no one else would have saved her,' she acknowledged. 'So, I know that we’re doing a good thing.'

'Steve went to work, and so I'm with them today,' she detailed in the four-minute video. 

'And I always turn on Bob Ross painting when we're on the TV, when we're together. So I try to keep them calm, and I take them on walks.'

Gosselin and her ex-husband Jon Gosselin – who split in 2009 – share twins Madelyn and Cara, 25, and sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel, 22.

Jon & Kate Plus 8 aired for five seasons on TLC spanning 2007-2017, once amassing 9.8M viewers with the fifth season premiere.
