Grief is harsh and horrid, particularly when it’s for your childhood. Anyone else wondering if he was after a little redhead? ---

It also contains this bit: > [@](#): > > He posted a picture on Oct. 16 of himself hugging a tan boxer-type dog, with a note that “happiness is sitting on the beach with Snoopy.” Neighbors at his Oceanside condominium said that dog died, and Robbins then acquired a small pit bull puppy. ---
