Nanny Fayecontinues to mourn the death of her 15-year-old dog Miley.
“It broke my heart and I’m still sad about her,” Faye told her granddaughterSavannah Chrisleyon the latest episode of the reality star’sUnlockedpodcast.
Chrisley, 27, hosted a Christmas themed episode titled “A Nanny Faye Christmas," in which she sat down with her grandmother to discuss the holidays and the recent passing of Faye’s beloved Yorkie.
“I’ve said for a while, she couldn’t see, she couldn’t walk,” Chrisley said of Faye’s pet.
But Faye quickly interrupted: “Don’t talk about her like that, cause listen, that breaks my heart. I carried her, and just like Jesus says, when you feel like I’m not with you, I’m carrying you. So that’s the way I did Miley. I carried her wherever she needed to go.”

Miley was 15 years old when she died. “That’s a long time,” Faye told her granddaughter. “But I didn’t want to give her up.”
Even the veterinarian Faye brought her dog to was grieving the separation of Miley and Faye, she said. “My doctor said, ‘Nanny I wish I could go back there and give you three more years with her.’ She cried too, said ‘but I can’t,'” Faye recalled.
“It broke my heart and I’m still sad about her,” Faye continued. “I miss her every day.”
“It won’t be Miley. I had one husband and one dog. So I’m not going to have anything else,” Faye said.
Aside from her attachment, Faye has a reasonable outlook on getting a new pet. “I don’t want one because I’m old myself,” she explained. “She was hanging on for me and I was hanging on for her. So she’s gone, so I ain’t got nobody to hang on to.”
“You’re talking about this dog as if you don’t have any family members,” Chrisley argued. “So you’re gonna hang on for a dog that’s 15 that can’t walk or see, but screw hanging on for us.”
“Well y’all got y’all’s life. I don’t want to be a bother,” Faye told Chrisley. “Not that y’all don’t check on me, now I’m not ever gonna say that.”
Faye admitted that the rest of the family reaches out to her almost every day, but Savannah does the most out of her 5 grandchildren, which also includes Lindsie, Kyle, Chase and Grayson.
“Grayson, now unless we’re going to bet on a game, I don’t ever hear from him,” Faye said of her youngest grandchild.
With that, Savannah let out a laugh defending her brother saying, “He’s also 18.”
Faye said that’s the reason why he gets a pass, “and that’s why I let him go.”
Savannah asked to make sure her grandmother was doing okay before moving on to talk about the holidays.
“I miss Miley, but you know what, life goes on,” Faye said. “The sun’s going to come up and it’s going to go down, so I’m going to do the best I can every day.”
