The news comes just a few months after Lisa lost her other golden retriever Avery.
Lisa revealed that both Avery and Rumpy were sick beforehand in a past tweet. "It's been a little overwhelming as my two retrievers are both sick," she wrote. "Avery is 13 now and struggling Rumpy is 9, cancer."
Thankfully, her two rescue dogs Binky and Puffy are "doing fine".
Lisa and Ken's other dog Giggy also passed away in December 2020. Lisa said: "We are devastated to say that our beloved Giggy has passed away this morning. He was truly loved, and we know how many of you loved him too.
"He inspired us to start our work in rescue, and for that we will always be grateful."
