Her loyal Labradoodle Lily cast a nervous eye at her new canine companions, who looked like they were loving their brand new home.
The 54-year-old star wrote: “Puppy love Rory, Tiger and our Lily #puppies.”

Others were left wondering whether the rescue pups came from Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, which is where Rod and Penny adopted their first dogs, Bubbles and Lily.

She had also shared a heartbreaking photograph of Bubbles with Lily taken during the last weeks of his life.
“My fur babies, my gifts from up above, my angels on earth, you warm my heart and lift my spirits. Bubbles our curly one has been diagnosed with cancer and although his recent surgery was successful, sadly it’s spread.

Rod and Penny’s family life
Penny previously explained her decision to adopt a dog, revealing that she and Rod had initially considered adopting a child to complete their family because they felt they had “extra love and fun” to offer.
Rod is a father to eight children, including his two youngest sons, Alastair, 19, and Aiden, 14, whom he fathered with Penny.
Speaking on Loose Women, Penny, who has been married to the Maggie May musician since 2007, said: “We considered adopting. But having discussed it with the little ones they said they loved out little brood the way that it is and there might have been too much of an age gap. So we’re getting a puppy instead.”
The couple’s extra love will also go towards Rod’s four grandchildren, including the newest addition Elsie, born in March 2025, and his soon-to-be fifth grandchild, following the news that Rod’s daughter Kimberly Stewart is expecting another baby.
