Chrissy Teigen is mourning her dog's death.
The model, 39, announced the death of her dog on Saturday, marking Penny's departure with sweet photos of the French bulldog.
"Our beautiful little tripod queen, penny, passed on peacefully in her sleep today," she captioned her Instagram.
"Born the same day John and I got married, 11 years ago, she was there for us for every baby, every loss, every joy," wrote as she included photos of the pup with herself, one with her six-year-old son Miles as well as one of the couple cuddling with the dog.
The cookbook author also shared some traits of the pup's personality
"She loved nothing more than being loved, having her nub rubbed and destroying any ball she could get her paw on, even til her last weeks," she wrote.
"Never forget that while every pup is just a few chapters in your long life, for them you are their entire book, their entire lives," she continued.
Teigen concluded the post with a sweet message for Penny herself. "Oh penny. We were so beyond lucky to have you. Say hi to Puddy and Pippa for us. You are all together again."
Teigen and her husband John Legend also gave home to multiple other dogs, as well as birds, a hamster, and a bearded dragon.
Earlier this month, the family was forced to evacuate their home with their pets amid the devastating fires in Los Angeles.
She shared a series of videos at the time, including one from her bed as two of her other dogs, Petey and Pearl, climbed up to join her in the video posted on January 8.
She quipped in the caption, "4 dogs, 4 kids and a bearded dragon walk into a hotel."
