Last week, Gerber's mom Crawford shared the sad news that Widget died on May 22.
The supermodel, 59, shared throwback photos with their precious pooch and wrote a sweet caption dedicated to Widget.
'I didn't grow up with dogs and, in fact, had been afraid of dogs since I was little as I got bit twice as a young girl,' she wrote.
'After I had kids, I knew I didn't want to pass my fear of dogs along to them, so we got two small dogs — that weren't too scary ;).'
She added: 'What I didn't know was how much fun having little furry friends adds to family life.
'I loved watching my kids chase our dogs around or dress them up or just cuddle up together on the couch,' Crawford wrote.
'And as my kids grew older, and our dogs too, their friendly presence continued to bring joy to our lives.'
She also revealed Widget's sister, their other family pet Sugar, previously died too.
'Wow today is a trip... I'm going to miss you Widget I love you so much and I'm going to hold you're [sic] spirit close to me forever fly high angel.'
'We had to say goodbye to our little girl Widget yesterday,' she wrote as she concluded her caption.
'She was a puppy for 17 years and we will miss her. Hopefully she is eating endless snacks with her "sister" Sugar somewhere in doggy heaven.'
Kaia's brother Presley, Crawford and Rande Gerber's son, also shared a tribute to their beloved Shih Tzu.
He shared a throwback photo of him with Widget and wrote: 'The two blondes in the fam.'
Alongside a more recent snap of their dog, he penned a heartbreaking caption: 'Wow today is a trip...
'I'm going to miss you Widget I love you so much and I'm going to hold you're [sic] spirit close to me forever fly high angel.'
