The Young and the Restless star Lauralee Bell is grieving a huge loss in her household.

Saying Goodbye

Bell, who portrays Christine on Y&R, took to Instagram to share her grief at her dog, Chelsea, passing. Alongside several photos of her pet, she wrote, “Such a beautiful Chelsea girl! These posts are always so hard to write but most of you know that we are a dog adoring family! Chelsea crossed over the rainbow bridge!

“This amazing girl came into our lives in 2009 when our kids were young,” continued the actress. “She was part of what we called the OG3. An incredible sister to Couver and Bo and a fearless protector of us who happened to love every morsel of food you gave her!
In 2020, the unthinkable happened, and she lost her brothers. Couver to old age and Bo we still don’t understand. It was a big adjustment for all of us and obviously for her, but after some time, she settled into being the queen of our house.

“A little over a year later, the puppies came and rocked her world,” Bell wrote. “Definitely gave her a mommy purpose. She trained them so well and has put up with a lot of serious energy and rough play around her!”

“A positive I have to point out is A YEAR AGO this month, Chelsea had 3 days where she barely would lift her head so our daughter said goodbye before heading to college,” continued the actress. “She’s a miracle to have hung on with us for a full year longer.

“We will forever love you Chel and our greatest hope is your 2 brothers were waiting for you and you play forever together again as the unforgettable OG3 ❤️❤️❤️”

Bell’s co-star Tracey Bregman (Lauren) wrote, “Oh honey, this is the hard part of loving our animals so deeply. They leave their paw prints on our hearts forever. I’m sending big love to you and your family, today and always. ❤️✨ 🕊️”

“So so so hard. Love ya.❤️” Christian Le Blanc (Michael) replied.
