Owners | Barbara Chris |
Clover (b. circa March/April 2012[1]) is the Chandlers' beagle. Snoopy (March 2012 - 15 July 2021) was her brother.[2][3] The Chandlers bought them at a puppy mill in Fredricksburg on 13 May 2012.
The idea of getting beagles was originally Barb's idea, and Chris eventually acquiesced. The CWC community learned of their existence on 1 August 2012, when a link to an entry of them Chris submitted to a local contest was posted on the CWCki Forums; Chris didn't win the contest.
According to one of Chris's Facebook posts, the dogs are siblings. Clover has a white mark on her snout, and Snoopy doesn't. Additionally, they each have an animal chew toy - Clover has a duck, Snoopy a skunk. Snoopy has a green collar, and Clover, Chris's dog, naturally has a pink collar. Barb claimed in the Rental House Tour audio that the dogs were part fox, though this is incredibly unlikely – no authenticated hybrids between domestic dogs and foxes exist.
Snoopy, who officially belonged to Barb, was named after the dog from Peanuts, who was also a beagle. Even though Snoopy was her dog, Chris was listed as the person responsible for not getting proper checks and licenses for both dogs, according to legal records from 2016.
The origin of Clover's name is unclear. It was initially believed to be derived from Patti-Chan's origin story in Sonichu #6, which featured a four-leaf clover by way of explanation. When Chris first introduced the dogs on Facebook, he posted the cryptic comment, "'Shine, little Clover, Glimmer, Glimmer.' :D." This would imply that Clover's name actually came from Chris mishearing the lyrics to Johnny Mercer's song "The Glow-Worm" (which he probably heard from Bob's collection). The actual lyrics are: "Shine, little glow-worm, glimmer, glimmer." However, to confuse the story even more, during his date with Catherine, Chris claimed that Clover was named after the character from the show My Little Pony Tales.
Poor Living Conditions and Neglect
“ | It’s, it’s awfully inconvenient to take them outside and have to pick it up. I’d rather have it inside, to pick it up. I’m 72 years old, and I don’t... | ” |
Barbara on why the dogs relieve themselves inside the house.[4] |
On 6 August 2013, Chris posted on Facebook a picture of dog urine on a newspaper.[5] In December 2014, a statement released by Catherine (who manipulated Chris into inviting her to the Chandler house) confirmed that the dogs are not house-trained, are aggressive towards strangers, and are severely obese. This was especially apparent in a series of photos released in November 2015. The dogs were still relieving themselves on newspaper in April 2018, evidenced when Chris filmed a paid request video which showed a newspaper with dog shit on it in the background.[6]
In the Rental House Tour, Barb can be heard attempting to justify her gross neglect of her animals by whining about how she's too old to perform laborious tasks such as opening a door to let the dogs out to relieve themselves. It's also believed that the fact that there was a hole in the fence in the backyard, which the Chandlers never bothered to fix, also contributed to their decision to let their pets piss and shit on the floors, with the hope being that they'd do it on the newspapers.
When Chris reflected on Snoopy's life, he noted that he'd regularly sleep on the couch with the puppies until January 2014, and that they would regularly play in the hoard. This eventually led to an accident where Snoopy injured his left back leg, an injury which he would never fully recover from. Chris also noted that he didn't walk either of the dogs often, if ever.[3]
When faced with a situation where he wanted to go on a date, but Barb was not home to watch the dogs, Chris's proposed solution was to take the dogs with him, then leave them in the car. Catherine managed to dissuade him from this act of animal abuse.[7] Catherine also stated that the dogs are so terribly taken care of that they can't even be left at home by themselves without destroying all the furniture.
Chris also mentioned to Catherine that he has fed the dogs chicken noodle soup,[8] which can cause sodium ion poisoning if fed from canned soup with high sodium amounts.[9] An insider source confirmed that to be the case.[10]
In the Rental House Tour, Chris is cooing and babbling over the dogs.
In August 2016, even though Barbara and Chris both look after the dogs, only Chris was slapped with two (more) misdemeanors on his record, as a result of the Chandlers failing to acquire proper licenses and rabies checks for the dogs, marking the first time the authorities have gotten involved because of the Chandlers' neglect of their pets.
As of 2020, Clover and Snoopy were both still alive, barking loudly and getting overexcited when pizza deliveries summoned by weens appeared at the door while Chris tried reading fanfiction in a livestream.
Stealing a Neighbor's Dog
According to Emily, Chris and Barb once stole a neighbor's dog. They eventually gave it back when its owner showed up at their door.[11]
I don't think I have emails regarding that, but if anyone needs the rundown...a neighbor's dog slipped out of their collar while tied up outside and went wandering around the neighborhood. I'm assuming it was more Barb's idea, but she decided she wanted to keep it so instead of doing the right thing and asking around first. They bought it a collar and a couple of other supplies. Lo and behold, the neighbor goes looking for their dog and winds up at the Chandler's. From what I remember, they put up a fight to keep the dog and blamed the neighbor for being irresponsible. Basically, finders keepers. Neighbor still got their dog back. But Chris couldn't comprehend why it was wrong for them to try and keep the dog. I wonder if this is (part) of the reason they keep their own dogs locked up inside, a fear of repercussion from trying to steal someone else's dog. |
Snoopy's Death
Snoopy passed away in July 2021 in his sleep.[2] Shortly after his demise, Chris took to social media to offer a eulogy not unlike the one he gave Patti Chandler so many years ago. In the process, Chris explained that he and a neighbor buried the dog by a tree, making a stone mound around where the body lay as a marker for the pooch. Chris was understandably distraught by his dog's demise, but remained confident that the coping mechanism of the Dimensional Merge, which he believed that Snoopy was somehow also aware of, would allow him to reunite with the animal. Chris also noted that he saw an anthropomorphized version of Snoopy in Dimension C-197 that was taller than Patti-Chan.[3] Chris resumed his usual social media habits only a day after the dog's passing, though he still mentioned feeling sad about Snoopy in the days afterward.

- ↑ According to their entry, they were three months old when Chris entered them into the contest. Since registration to the contest began on 16 July 2012 (see contest rules) and they were registered no later than 1 August, this would mean they were born sometime between March and May. Chris has stated that Snoopy was born in March, meaning that Clover could have been born no later than April if they were both three months old at the same time.
