1000-Lb Sisters' Tammy Slaton & Amanda Halterman Mourn Tragic Loss Of Loved One Amid Season 7 Cancellation Rumors
Tammy Slaton, Chris Combs, and Amanda Halterman from 1000-Lb Sisters have announced the passing of their mother's beloved dog. The siblings have made significant progress since their first appearance in 1000-Lb Sisters season 1. Tammy has lost over 500 pounds, completely transforming her body. Chris has completed his weight loss journey and adopted a more active lifestyle. Amanda, who joined the show in later seasons, has also lost significant weight and is nearing the end of her journey. Therefore, there have been rumors that 1000-Lb Sisters may be canceled now that everyone in their family has lost weight.
Recently, Tammy, Chris, and Amanda shared a post on Instagram together, grieving the loss of their family dog, Baby Girl.
Amanda posted a picture of her mother with the dog and expressed how much Baby Girl meant to her. She wrote, "she has given My mom so much joy and companionship over the last 20 years." Amanda discussed Baby Girl's life and how she had been a part of their family for two decades, asking for prayers for both the dog and their family. She wrote, "please whispers a prayer for her and our family. The devil surely has been busy." Tammy, Chris, and Amanda's post received over 10k likes, with fans sharing their prayers and praising Baby Girl's long life.
The comments section was filled with numerous social media followers sending their condolences to Amanda, Tammy and the entire family. Several people mentioned that 20 years is a long time to have spent with Baby Girl, so Amanda's mom's dog lived a very long life. Another fan questioned why Amanda mentioned the devil considering Baby Girl's long life, that it might have made more sense if the dog had passed away at a much younger age, so they wanted to know if someone else was going on her life to warrant such a comment.
What Amanda Asking For "Prayer" From Fans Means Amid Tragic News
Baby Girl's Passing Could Bring The Slaton Family Together
Amanda, Tammy, and Chris are devastated by the loss of their mother's dog, as Baby Girl was very close to them. The siblings grew up alongside their mother's dog, watching her go from being a puppy to an adult. Therefore, it is understandable for them to feel saddened by Baby Girl's passing, as she was not just a pet but a family member to them. Amanda asked 1000-Lb Sisters viewers for prayers from fans to ensure that Baby Girl received the recognition and love she deserved for being part of their family.
Baby Girl's passing isn't the only tragedy the popular reality TV family has encountered in recent years. Prior to this, Amanda posted a video of her cousin seeking donations from fans. She revealed her cousin is battling cancer and requires financial support for treatment. Additionally, Tammy suffered a significant loss in 2023 when her husband, Caleb Willingham, passed away due to obesity. The devastating experience greatly impacted Tammy, prompting personal growth. The passing of Baby Girl will likely bring similar growth and unity to the Slaton family.
What The Family's Loss Means For 1000-Lb Sisters
Baby Girl's Passing Might Not Be Mentioned On 1000-Lb Sisters
It's unknown at this time if 1000-Lb Sisters season 7 will come to fruition. 1000-Lb Sisters season 6 just ended in December 2024. Several family members, including Tammy, Amy, Chris, and Amanda provide updates every so often on social media to keep their fans apprised of what's going on in their lives (regarding the events that they can talk about that don't break any NDAs because of filming purposes).
Fans have invested five years of their time getting to know all of these cast members, so a loss of a pet, even if viewers weren't familiar with her, causes a lot of heartbreak to spread around the community and fandom. A lot of people can relate to losing a pet, after all. There are quite a few storylines that will need to be covered if 1000-Lb Sisters returns, so mentioning Baby Girl's passing might not make the cut, but there's always a chance the news could be mentioned in passing in one of the episodes.
Tammy's possible skin removal surgery, for example, would absolutely take precedent over most other events going on their lives. Fans, not to mention Tammy herself, have been invested in all the weight loss storylines, so the anticipation has been building for the next big stage of Tammy's weight loss journey, which is the surgery. Regardless of whether Baby Girl is mentioned on the show, hopefully, the family is feeling the love from fans as everyone mourns this loss.
Our Take On Amanda Saying "Devil Surely Has Been Busy"
Amanda & Her Sisters Have Experienced Numerous Challenges
Amanda believed that the "devil" played a role in Baby Girl's passing, but many fans think that Baby Girl lived a good life, considering she lived to be 20 years, well beyond the average 13-year lifespan of a dog. However, Amanda may not be entirely wrong in blaming the devil, as she and her sisters have all faced hardship. Amanda went through a devastating breakup, Tammy lost her husband, and Amy ended up in jail for a serious crime. Hopefully, the 1000-Lb Sisters family will find the strength to navigate through their difficult time following Baby Girl's passing.
