Amy Slaton has grieved the loss of her best friend in the most recent episode of 1000-lb Sisters.
Amy and Tammy Slaton are the two sisters from the reality show 1000-lb Sisters, but this week on the show they mourned their sidekick and best friend.
Amy’s dog Little Bit suddenly passed away in April of last year, but it was revealed on the show for the first time this week.
According to Amy’s memorial Instagram post, Little Bit was born in 2000, making the pup 22 years old when she passed away.
Amy picked Little Bit up from “Granny’s house,” and once the pup was in the car she fell over and wasn’t breathing.
Amy’s husband Michael tried to wake the dog up but was unsuccessful.
Amy said: “Little Bit was literally my daughter. She might not have been human, but she was my daughter.”
While reminiscing, Amy talked about when Little Bit walked her down the aisle at her wedding and when she ate a whole piece of lasagna.
Amy also said that Little Bit was Tammy’s “girlfriend,” and Amy’s worried about how Tammy will take the loss. She said: “Tammy’s gonna be devastated.”
Later in the episode, Amy told Tammy the bad news. After hearing the news, Tammy said: “My heart stopped for her,” and that her heart was broken.
Tammy was in rehab when Little Bit passes away, so Tammy was not able to say goodbye.
Amy and Michael held a memorial service for the special dog, and she was buried in their backyard so the family can visit her.
R.I.P. LITTLE BIT
Fans on Twitter rallied around the Slaton family to surround them with love and support after the loss of their beloved family pet.
One wrote: “Lil bit was soooo sweet. May her soul rest in peace. I am over here crying over a dog I never met. That’s just how special she was. My heart goes out to Amy and her family that loved lil bit so much.”
Another said: “Disappointing to hear that Lil’ Bit passed away!! She was a great family dog!”
A third wrote: “Awww, Little Bit crossed over the rainbow bridge.”
BABY NUMBER TWO
Although Amy grieved the loss of her dog, she has two young sons to fill the void.
In the previous episode of the TLC show, Amy went to the doctor to discover the sex of her second child.
Amy was hoping for a girl, but she was pregnant with a son whose name is Glenn.
Glenn was born on July 5, 2022, via a C-section, Amy exclusively told PEOPLE.
The trailer for season four shows a pregnant Amy being rushed to the hospital, but the new momma’s social media shows that she and the baby are alive and happy.
The newborn, Glenn Allen Halterman, weighed in at 5lbs 11oz and measured 17.5 inches long at birth.
Amy told People: “The wait is finally over… Michael and I are happy to announce the birth of our son, Glenn Allen Halterman.
“The delivery was a huge success and now I have both of my miracle boys; our family is complete!”
Amy’s first son, Gage Deon Halterman, was born on November 10, 2020
