Kaley Cuoco had a sad message to share with fans on her social media this week. The Flight Attendant star took to Instagram to reveal the unfortunate news that the first dog she adopted with her partner Tom Pelphrey has passed away.
"There are no words to describe our dearest little Kingy. He was the first dog @tommypelphrey and I rescued together and honestly the most special," Cuoco wrote alongside a series of adorable photos of Kingy, one of which featured her daughter Matilda.
"I saw him online shaking in a shelter in Atlanta while I was away in Germany , and asked the shelter to hold him because we just had to have him," Cuoco explained. "A month later we were in Atlanta for Tom’s work, and we spent an entire day driving hours to go pick up King. It was ♥️ !"
The Big Bang Theory star continued, "We did not have him nearly long enough. What started as a 6-pound, skinny, wouldn’t drink water, fur less, scared dog, turned into a chubby, hilarious, side-plopping, eye kissing part of our family. The hardest part about adopting seniors with medical issues, is we truly don’t know how long we have. All I know is Kingy gave us the most joy over the last year in a half and we could not love him more. 🌈 to everyone that helped with Kingy’s journey along the way, thank you. I urge you to rescue your next best friend ❤️🩹 He has left his paw print on our family’s hearts forever."
