More recently, the Big Bang Theory alum mourned the death of her chihuahua Dump Truck, posting a sweet Instagram gallery on May 30 in remembrance.

“A dog is the only thing on earth, that loves you more than he loves himself’ My sweetest Dump Truck, saying goodbye to you has deeply pierced my soul. You were with me during some of the hardest moments I’ve had in my life,” the actress wrote in her photo post.

“You brought endless joy to everyone that met you, and kissed my nose when I needed it most," Cuoco continued. "You were as special as it gets and I’m so grateful we found each-other. Please tell Norman I miss him every day and will cherish you both forever.”

Cuoco’s partner Tom Pelphrey — with whom she shares daughter Matilda, 3 months — posted similar sentiments in his tribute to Dump Truck, expressing alongside photos of himself with the chihuahua that he had a "heavy heart today."

"He really was a special dog," Pelphrey, 40, also wrote. "What he lacked in size he more than made up for in personality. And in a house FULL of personality — Dumpy was 👑. @kaleycuoco ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️."
