The actress, known for her love of animals, explained that Shirley had been part of her life since she was just six weeks old. However, things took a dramatic turn when her fiancé and actor, Tom Pelphrey, moved in with his German Shepherd, Blue.

What began as a joyful chapter in her life quickly became fraught with tension as Shirley and Blue began engaging in what Kaley described as “mega fights.”

“Most of you know I had [Shirley] for many, many, many years,” said the 38-year-old actress.

“All of a sudden, you kind of stopped seeing her,” she continued, “and I started to get a lot of questions as to where she was because it’s very unlike me to just stop posting about a dog that I’ve had since she was 6 weeks old.”
