In a shocking and emotional update, Tammy Slaton of 1000-Lb Sisters revealed a devastating loss that has shaken her and her entire family to the core.
Losing a beloved family member is never easy, and for many, the pain of losing a pet can be just as profound as losing a human loved one. While some may see pets as ”just animals,” for others, they are cherished companions who become an integral part of the family.
Tammy Slaton, star of 1000-Lb Sisters, recently shared her grief over the loss of her dog, Baby Girl, who had been by her family’s side for 20 years. This heart-wrenching loss has touched not only the Slaton family but also the many fans who have followed their journey.
A constant presence on the show
The Slaton family had Baby Girl for an incredible 20 years, and her loss has left Tammy, along with her siblings Amanda Halterman and Chris Combs, devastated.
Baby Girl was a constant presence on the show and held a special place in the hearts of the Slaton siblings. On social media, they posted a touching tribute, including a photo of their mother, Darlene Slaton, holding Baby Girl in her arms. Amanda wrote in the caption:
”She has given my mom so much joy and companionship.”
The Slaton family shared their sorrow with fans, asking for prayers as they cope with the difficult loss.
”That’s not a typo. 20 years Baby Girl has been with my momma. Please whisper a prayer for her and our family. The devil surely has been busy.”
Fans flooded the comments section with condolences, offering words of comfort and sharing their own experiences of losing a cherished pet.
According to Collider, one fan wrote, “20 years is such a blessing! I’m sorry for her loss. I know how heartbreaking it is.” Many also expressed how much Baby Girl had become part of the Slaton family’s journey.
More family hardship for the Slatons
This loss comes at a time when the Slaton family is already facing significant challenges. On January 12, 2025, Amanda Slaton revealed that her cousin, Katie Slaton, had been diagnosed with Stage 4 gastric adenocarcinoma, a rare and aggressive form of stomach cancer.
In her post, Amanda shared Katie’s GoFundMe page, which aims to raise $100,000 for her cousin’s medical bills, treatment, and travel costs.
While many fans have shown their support, others have offered advice, like using alternative treatments such as vitamin B-17 and blackseed oil. As of now, the fundraiser has raised $1,733 toward the goal, and the family continues to receive love and support from followers.
What’s next for the Slaton family?
The latest 1000-Lb Sisters season 6 finale aired on December 17, 2024, but it remains uncertain whether the show will be renewed for a 7th season.
Fans can still catch up on past episodes, available for streaming on Hulu. Despite the tough times, the Slaton family continues to lean on each other and their fans for support.
As the Slaton family navigates through this incredibly tough time, fans are rallying behind them, sending love and support.
While the pain of this loss is unimaginable, Tammy and her family continue to show their strength. Stay tuned for more updates as they face these challenges head-on.
