Documenting the occasion on her Instagram Story, Cuoco shared images of herself and the tiny tot posing near a pen housing an adorable pony. The snap captioned," Full time mommin it," and a blurry text," I'M IN HEAVEN," saw the "Harley Quinn" actress wearing a dark blue oversized T-shirt and sports shorts.

The mother-of-one sporting a beaming smile and her daughter, complete with a bib around her neck, shared a delightful moment indoors with the pony in a stable. Cuoco humorously revealed that Matilda was the lucky recipient of a new pony, playfully adding, "Someone got a new pony.... And it wasn't me lol," before cheekily declaring the toddler a "horse girl."

Matilda's newest furry friend may be her first pet, but her love for animals started earlier. Back in June, Cuoco shared a heartwarming glimpse into the close bond between her daughter and the family pet dog, Opal. 

Two precious pictures showcased the little one in a pink-colored onesie, lounging contentedly on a gray couch while the furry family member nestled beside her.

A charming scene unfolded as Opal playfully nudged Matilda's nose, creating a moment filled with sweetness. The Satellite Award winner affectionately captioned the images as "BESTIES" and revealed her daughter got excited when the dog showered her with kisses.

The 'Killer Movie' Star Says Goodbye To Beloved Pets

Despite the cute moments, the journey of love within Cuoco's pet-loving family took a heartbreaking turn this year. The two-time People's Choice Awards winner mourned the passing of her Chihuahua, endearingly named "Dump Truck." 

Unfortunately, the grieving process intensified when, on September 16, the "Alley Cats Strike" star shared on Instagram the heartbreaking news of another loss — her beloved horse, Bella.

In a heartfelt tribute, Cuoco expressed the profound impact Bella had on her life. She shared a carousel of photos capturing cherished moments with the horse, highlighting the transformative journey they shared. 

The "Toothless" actress' emotional caption reflected the depth of their connection, describing the horse as one who taught her to "fly and put me in dream arenas I thought could only ever be a dream." 

Cuoco's words resonated with her famous friends, including Amanda Seyfried, Brad Goreski, and Beth Behrs, who offered words of comfort and support. The ASPCA also extended their condolences, stating, "Kaley, we are so sorry for your loss. Sending you much love and light during this difficult time. Bella will be missed." 

Amidst the outpouring of sympathy, one fan expressed admiration for Cuoco's resilience, acknowledging the challenges of being an animal lover with multiple pets. They went on to express their own difficulty in imagining how they could endure the pain, writing:
