Kaley Cuoco Announces Exciting New Venture Inspired By Late Furry Friend

New mom Kaley Cuoco is dipping her toes into a new business adventure, all thanks to her late furry pet Norman!

The talented actress, who became a mom of one on March 30, 2023, after welcoming her daughter with her partner Tom Pelphrey, has been a mom dog since she was 16 when she got her first dog as a gift from her then-boyfriend. 

Being an outspoken dog adoption and animal rights advocate, she adopted Norman in 2014, when he had a broken leg, and loved him unconditionally till his passing in February 2021. 

The "Big Bang Theory" actress, who currently has six rescue dogs named Zeus, Ruby, Shirly, King, Miss Opal, and Dump Truck, honored her late Pitbull mix's memory by co-founding a company in his name that caters to dog needs.

Announcing the exciting news to the public, she took to her Instagram page to post a carousel of snaps of her late furry pet alongside her reason for making such a sentimental decision.

In the first image, the Pitbull mix and the "Hop" actress posed for the camera while lounging inside Cuoco's exquisite home. While the blonde bombshell lay on the ground next to Norman, the late dog, on the other hand, stared lovingly at its owner.

In the following slide, the lovely pair were captured playing at the swimming pool side of Cuoco's house. The producer, who appeared to be enjoying her time with her dog, donned black swimming trunks and held on to her dog with a green ball in her hand.

Meanwhile, in the last frame, the "Wedding Ringer" star and Norman appeared to be taking a nap on the bed. The new mom, who donned a two-piece black pajamas, affectionately cuddled her late furry kid.

Opening up about her business venture, she penned, "Omg 🐶 I am beyond excited to announce my newest adventure as Co-Founder of @ohnorman! My beloved dog Norman's unconditional love inspired me to make the company I always wanted to see in the world."

She explained the company's purpose: "Created in his honor, @ohnorman is all about giving our furry friends the love and care they deserve."

Sweetly concluding, she added, "Oh, Norm, this one's for you! 🐶 head over and follow @ohnorman to get involved and see what's coming! You don't wanna miss out!🐾🐶❤ #ohnorman #lovemydog #doglovers #dogsarefamily #adoptdontshop."

As expected, her touching post amassed over 100,000k likes; however, her comments section was bombarded with questions about her other pet, Shirley, whom she adopted in the mid-2010s.

One fan wrote, "Norman was great. But so is Shirley! Speaking of Shirley….. Where is she? We miss and care about her. All the newer small pups are cute, but Shirley is an OG in the house of Cuoco. I would love to get an update 💜."

Another inquired, "Did I miss something about Shirley? Where is Shirley"? A third fan shared the same sentiment, asking, "What happened to Shirley?! I haven't seen her in a long time."

Meanwhile, others commended the actress, with a happy fan writing, "We need more Kaley Cuocos," alongside several red heart emojis. "Awwww! How adorable! ❤💕," gushed another.

Cuoco's new dog company comes after the mom of one rescued and adopted a pup in early March, weeks before giving birth to her baby daughter. The Blast shared that the "Harley Quinn" actress took to her Instagram Story to announce her and her partner's decision to add a furry kid to their well-blended family.

Sharing a photo, cuddling the pup named Opal, she wrote, "We did a thing … again. Welcome Miss Opal (little widdle girl) into our growing family."  She added, "Thank you, @deityanimalrescue and an amazing foster @thisisdarragh, for bringing this angel to us."

Obsessed with her new pup, the dog lover bombarded her fans with several clips of Miss Opal on her page. Explaining her furry kid's character, she wrote over one of the clips, "She's hilarious and already torturing every dog in this house."

The video further showed how the actress apologized to her other dog for the new pup's behavior. She said, "Leave him alone. Sorry, Dumpy. I'm so sorry; she's so crazy." Meanwhile, in another clip showing Opal with their giant dog, the new mom revealed, "She's obsessed with her biggest brother too."

Asides from being a devoted dog advocate and lover, the star is also quite fond of horses and has a stable for her horse.

Per reports, the actress has frequently taken to social media to profess her love for her more prominent animal companions. 

Taking to her Instagram account in 2021, when she was still with her equestrian ex-husband Karl Cook, the actress revealed, "I never thought I would be so obsessed with our #bigbaycity baby horse 🐴 program! I'm in love."

She shared a selfie with her new foal, adding, "Meet Zee-Yah (another Zaza baby. My dad named him, and he's very proud of it) convos with my husband. Me 'babe, we have so many babies; what will we do with them? Karl 'well, the idea is to sell them' me 'laughs hysterically.'
