Just fyi, snoopy died just two to five years shy of the average lifespan for a medium size dog, and even so dogs can live quite long even medium sized ones can reach ages of 20 or even 25 with proper care and regular checks for major health problems like Cancer or heartworm.

But this is Chris we're talking about. I doubt he gets anything more than a rudeimemtary physical every year for himself. Let alone cancer screenings or cardiology. So it's fair to assume he didn't take his dogs to anything more than a yearly vet check and probably to a cheap or free vet.

Now add on snoopy was fed canned soup in lieu of proper food, was never taken for walks or let out for exercise and much like Chris himself showed signs of premature aging and it's no wonder he passed so young.


Chris still has my sympathy for his loss and at least snoopy isn't suffering neglect at casa de Chandler anymore. But it's too bad that thick skull of Chris's won't see this for the wake-up call it is.

Pretty much. With the gaining weight, I can't help but feel that contributed to Snoopy's leg.

Bonded animals sometimes can’t get over the loss of a litter mate an will eventually stop eating and pass away too. I’m torn between wanting Clover to be free of her horrible conditions and knowing that freedom would devastate Chris and Barb. This might be the first domino.

I don't think Chris could handle two pet deaths. Then again, the CWCki article on Chris and death describes his grieving process differently.

Right. I don't think Chris is totally heartless but just going off of what I've seen with autistic people in general in my own experience, death really doesn't seem impact them the same way unless it's like immediate family or close friends. I think it would weigh a lot heavier on Barb while Chris might just feel sad for a bit then get lost in toys for awhile and be alright. It was her idea to get the dogs after all.

I know I'm going to get powerlevels like mad here, but this made me hug my 13 year old cat and tell him what a good boy he is. I'm lucky that he has no health issues (the vet says that if they didn't have records of him going back 13 years they'd think he was 6), but pet death still makes me really sad, even when they're poorly cared for and likely better off.

(I would have hugged the younger cat too, but if I pick her up she'll bite me like the sassy asshole she is. So she got treats)

Snoopy seemed like a good dog and deserved far better than a hoarde (complete with a hoarde witch) and Chris.

RIP Snoopy. We can only hope the Chandlers don't hoard another pet to make up for the loss.

They'll bring her up right like a traditional family with Campbell's Noodle Soup and old ditties like "The old soft shoe", "How much is that doggie in the window", and Sammy Davis' Jr's "Candyman"!

F for snoop, and much :heart-full: for Chris and Barb (if she even noticed) in this time. There is nothing more heartbreaking then losing a beloved family pet, other then that of losing a beloved family member and for many people, that's one in the same.

Snoopy awaits you on the other side, Chris. Be that post-merge or post-life so hang on, celebrate his life and move on with your own.
