Kaley Cuoco breaks down in tears over “excruciating decision”

As a devoted fan who has followed Kaley Cuoco‘s journey for years, I have nothing but respect and admiration for her heartfelt decision regarding her beloved pet dog, Shirley. While it is always challenging to part with a cherished companion, Kaley demonstrated unparalleled compassion and love in making the tough choice that prioritized both Shirley’s safety and well-being.


Actress Kaley Cuoco from The Big Bang Theory has shared her heartfelt thoughts on the challenging choice she made to find a new home for her deceased pet dog named Shirley.

In a heartfelt video uploaded to Instagram, the actress decided to disclose a matter that has been on her mind for some time. Since she now manages Oh Norman!, a pet care business, she feels it’s crucial to maintain transparency regarding all aspects related to animals.

Cuoco clarified that she received numerous inquiries from fans following her absence on social media with regards to Shirley, as it’s uncharacteristic of her not to share updates about her beloved dog who has been part of her life since she was only six weeks old.

She mentioned that Shirley held a particularly dear place in her heart, but the dynamic shifted when Tom Pelphrey started living with his own pet dog a couple of years back.

My soulmate, a fellow passionate dog enthusiast named Tom, entered my world along with his stunning German Shepherd, Blue, by relocating from another part of the country,” she explained.

A few years back, regrettably, there were intense disagreements between Blue and Shirley. Shirley became resolute about harming him, which was quite terrifying. Interestingly, she had quarrels with other dogs, but never with Norman.

Cuoco expressed deep affection and appreciation for Shirley, yet found it impossible to continue residing with her, given Shirley’s behavioral changes.

She mentioned that she was genuinely worried, as she didn’t desire anything unfortunate to occur, or worse, someone might unintentionally end up in harm’s way.

Fortunately, Cuoco’s pet caretaker Tony and his spouse initially agreed to look after Shirley temporarily, but ultimately kept her until her recent demise from bone cancer.

They adored her deeply. Making the choice was extremely difficult… but it was necessary for Shirley’s own safety, as I didn’t want her to be placed in an environment that might not appreciate her unique qualities given how long I’ve known her and how special she is.

She determined: “Making this significant choice collectively as a family was essential, and I believe we made the correct call. I had numerous opportunities to spend time with her, and there were countless pictures sent my way. She radiated joy throughout those years, and her life spanned an incredible 14 years.
