Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola spent over a decade in the loving company of a "sister" – one with four legs.

Abby, a cockapoo, was like a sibling to the Jersey Shore star, but last year, doctors discovered a tumor in her stomach, and the 11-year-old pup died soon afterward.

"It was a very devastating and traumatizing experience," Giancola tells PEOPLE. "Abby was a part of my family, and it was a huge deal to say goodbye to her."

So when the reality star popped by PEOPLE to discuss the fourth season of Jersey Shore – the GTL gang goes to Italy – we challenged her to a fill-in-the blank quiz about all things Snooki.

How do you say "brace yourself" in Italian?

Jersey Shore's season 4 premiere is less than a month away – and now PEOPLE.com has your first look at an official cast photo, and it appears they're not holding anything back.
