Margaret’s post lovingly continued: ‘Always ready to kiss, hug, play and brighten your darkest day.
‘She loved everyone (except the landscapers) and everyone loved her.
‘A part of me died along with her. She was a rescue, but she actually saved us.’
The TV personality had previously described Bella as her “favorite family member” and regularly shared updates about their life together.
She had previously expressed concern about the puppy’s health, stating: “If you know anything about me, I’m always nervous that he’s not feeling well because he’s always had hip and joint problems.”
‘Yorkies are very prone to this.
“And she’s 12 and a rescue, so I’ve always had a challenge.”
And dozens of Margaret’s fans took to the comments section to offer their condolences.

Someone else commented: ‘We are so sorry for the loss of your beloved Bella.
‘Pets are truly family and losing them is incredibly difficult. May you all find comfort in the wonderful memories you shared together.”
And a fourth person shared: ‘The unconditional love they bring into our lives is indescribable and that feeling is euphoric. Therefore, when we lose our pet, the pain can be even more overwhelming.
But you should know that she is not gone. Her memory is a blessing. That will help you in the moments when you need to feel that euphoria of unconditional love.’

The pet’s death has been a devastating blow for the star who, earlier this week, also told TV personality Rachel Fuda about her husband Joe Benigno’s recent visit to the doctor.
During episode eight of the show’s final season, which aired June 23, Margaret revealed that she and her spouse, who celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary this month, are waiting for the tests to come back.
She shared, “I’m so exhausted because Joe had routine blood work and we just got a call from the doctor and he said, ‘Joe, your PSA (prostate-specific antigen) jumped high.'”
“I was scared because men his age can get prostate cancer very easily.
‘We ran directly to the urologist. They did all the tests.
“It had to be investigated. We’ll get the results this week.’
