The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Condolences Go Out To Lauralee Bell And Her Family
Lauralee shared the sad news with her fans via Instagram.
This is what she posted: “I’ve waited a few days to post this because I wanted to keep things positive with the excitement of the Emmys plus this was very hard but so many of you have been so sweet and loving where our dogs are concerned so I needed to explain what has happened I never would’ve thought when I took this picture the first week of May that Bo (right) wouldn’t be here now.”

Well, to be sure, a pet is a family member, so it’s always a very sad loss when we have to say good-bye to our sweet fur babies, but geez! The headline made it seem like her husband or brother had been murdered! “Suffers a devastating loss!” Yes, it’s very sad, but what would the headline read if her husband or brother had actually been murdered?! If you use too much hyperbole there’s nowhere higher to go! It’s very sad to lose pets, for sure, but a spouse or family member being murdered is truly a devastating loss! In fact, that was the exact headline when Jennifer Hudson’s family was murdered. So dial back the hyperbole & go for a realistic headline. I promise you, everyone will still click onto it & will read it! If it said the truth: “Lauralee’s beloved pet dies” a zillion of us would want to read all about it!
So sorry for this loss. Hard to lose one dog, but two so close..Sympathies
RIP Bo. His sister will be sad for a long time missing her brother.
Sending prayers for comfort.
