While all is well in her alter-ego’s world (or as well as it can be given one of Kate’s sons is holed up in a safe-house that might not be as safe as authorities claim), Days of our Lives actress Lauren Koslow is mourning a substantial loss.

Lauren Koslow Remembers “Rita Hayworth”

Koslow took to Instagram Monday to announce the passing of a four-legged family member. Her post, which you can read in its endearing, heart-wrenching entirety below, reads in part, “Sadly we say goodbye to Rita Hayworth our flaming haired fox with the valiant heart. Our beloved Rita has gone on to her next adventure.

“Sweet girl, I imagine you running on four straight, strong legs with your OG pack -Fergie, Boomer, Harry & Indiana. Thank you for staying with us for as long as you possibly could – thank you for letting us know when you needed to go.

“Special needs dogs bring out the best in you – the caregiver & loving protector – Towards the end of her life – Rita needed extra help – to keep her eating, to help her walk, to replace her narrowing activities with new ones & to just be there and fully in the moment for her.

“Rita, we will miss you forever and a day. Our home seems empty without your presence – I know that will change. I know we will rescue another dog in your honor but for now we grieve for you…Our lives are better for it. Always & forever in our hearts.”

Koslow’s former co-star, Kristian Alfonso, was but one of the many who penned posts of condolences. The Hope Brady actress contributed a (no doubt) much appreciated, “I am so sorry.”

Daily Drama sends Lauren Koslow and her family our own sincere condolences as they grieve their loss.
