Jonna, I am a 76 year old Nana. I have two sons and four grandchildren. Living alone, I have time to watch you. You are wise beyond your years. Stay true to your pure heart and all will be well. God has blessed you with many gifts. Sometimes the gifts can feel quite heavy. Know that God loves you and is with you through all of your life. Peace, peace, peace! ❤
My old dog also had bad episodes of Vestibular Syndrome, and he had the same symptoms: his eyes couldn't focus, he couldn't stand on his own, he couldn't keep his balance. We had to help him go to the bathroom by using a sling under his belly to help him stay upright. It's really, really hard to see them that way. But it did eventually pass, and my dog recovered his old energy. He lived for several years after his worst Vestibular episode. There's a good chance Nanook will return to his old self and enjoy more years of life. I'm sorry you have to go through this, but try to hold onto hope. ❤❤
I have the same experience with vestibulaire syndrome with one of my dogs.. It comes with no reason and can disappear again but it can take weeks. So stay hopeful, Nanook can become better again and for kennel cough my dogs are vaccinated every year but I wouldn't do that with an old dog. Big hug ❤
I have a vestibular disorder. There was a time that I couldn’t walk from my bedroom to my kitchen. I was bed ridden for two years. One day, I just said no way, this will not be my life. I got up, did a yoga balance pose for 15 seconds, then was down for several days, did it again for 45 seconds, then rinse and repeat. It took me two years of getting out of bed and slowly pushing through this.. Today, I am now a yoga teacher. I still have a slight wobble in my body but yoga gave me my life back. I still feel the left over wobble will heal. ❤
Jonna, our hearts hurt for you two as we watched this with tears streaming down our cheeks. We lost our 15-1/2 year old dog, Emma the night before. Emma absolutely LOVED Nanook. Each time he was on camera, I would say 'Emma! Look, it's Nanook!', and she would actively watch - ears up and forehead wrinkled. It was halfway out of my mouth last night before I realized that she wasn't here. You have given Nanook such a loving home and wonderful life, and when it is his time to transition on, you can be certain that Emma will be waiting for him at the gate and they will watch over us all. Pauline & David in Texas
We are the whole world to our pets. We love them so much for what seems like a short time. I am an old woman now and have loved and lost many pets. The pain never gets easier but I always think of them and miss them. Showing Nanook love is the best medicine. ❤
You and that beautiful old guy have had a life together that sadly most people will never experience. You know an he knows. Nature blessed you both. Losing them is the hardest part of having them. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you, much love from America.
I don’t know how you could ever read the thousands of comments but I decided to write one anyway, just to release some words into the universe. I cry when I think of Nanook and what he is experiencing yet I am so happy for the most loving precious family he has with you and Johan and so many others. I have laughed, smiled, cried, felt awe and inspiration when I get a glimpse into the exceptional life you are creating and sharing with the world. I’m a 65 year old mother of 3 grown children with 4 beautiful grand babies. I was a dental hygienist, stained glass artist, Ironman athlete and a potter. And then I experienced a life changing accident 12 years ago on a bicycle ride. I am now a “walking quadriplegic” meaning I can walk with a cane but am limited in so many ways. I struggle with what I used to be able to do and the limitations I have but am so grateful to still be on this planet enjoying your beautiful paintings, photography, jewelry and music. You have brought my heart so much joy by just being you and sharing the good and the hard times too. I live on the west coast in Portland Oregon USA and have traveled to Gothenburg with my daughter who married a man from there. What a beautiful country! I really just wanted to say how much I appreciate and love all you do in bringing beauty to the world. Thank you from the bottom of my soul ❤ Christy Quinn
I cried along with you on this video. There is nothing like a pets love and when they are sick, you cant help but be worried and concerned as you just dont want to lose them. My heart goes out to you. I love our pet dog so much. I pray for your Nanook
Wishing for Nanook’s healing ❤ It is never easy when our furry loved ones get sick. Give him all the snuggles you can and know that you give him such a happy life full of love!
My husband purchased a piece of your jewelry as a Christmas gift. It feels appropriate to hold it between my palms and pray for sweet Nanook. That it somehow connects us and that it may somehow allow these prayers to flow in a more direct way. My heart breaks for you as I know first hand the bonds, the unbelievable bonds that can exist between us and our animal companions. Take care sweetheart, and may God lay his healing hands on Nanook. Take care.
Jonna, you have no idea how much you've been helped me! This morning when I woke up and watched your video, I started drawing on cups instead of sitting in my phone. For few hours I was so consumed by drawing and it felt like my mind was resting, which it hasn't been for a long time, and I've been mentally super tired. The day after that, instead of opening my laptop first thing in the morning, I started drawing patterns in my notebook. It felt amazing. I'm usually drawing in my ipad, but drawing on paper felt so amazing and so different, and I found myself in such a flow, that I've never drawn like this before. I drew 9 HOURS that day and filled over 10 pages with patterns that I can now tattoo. (I'm also a tattoo artist) But I've just never ever felt this way when I'm drawing. I'm always thinking too much and I'm scared to make mistakes so I'm never drawing something new. And have always loved the tattooing part of my work, but drawing in my free time has always been super difficult. So I wanted to say THANK YOU! I absolutely love your videos Jonna, you literally are an angel.
L-theanine helped our old dog with vestibular syndrome immensely! It is over the counter, pet and human safe supplement that supports mental clarity, among other things. Our Mili had all the symptoms your baby does, dizzy, disoriented, and sometimes confused. With the supplement, she became more alert, present, and stable, and it was a huge relief to spend quality time with her before it was time for her to pass at the ripe age of 16. ❤
This was not boring, I cried the whole way through. Your precious Nanook is loved around the globe ~ thank you to you and Johan for sharing him with us all. Thank you Nanook for bringing such joy to so many of us ~ such a special being dear, sweet boy. Be well, be free. ♥ Your photo montage filled my whole heart, such a gorgeous love story of you and your boy. I hope the dreams stop and your spirit is soothed. So glad you are revising to be sure that your painting and singing never becomes work, only your passion. Yes - I want to break walls with you! Thank your for inspiring. Blessings on you Jonna, Johan, Nanook.
I am so happy your music is on Spotify. My daughter likes to fall asleep with your songs, she asks for "the lady from the mountains" ;) You have a beautiful and calming voice.
Our old dog also had Vestibular Syndrome for over a week when she was 14, but recovered and lived happily 2 more years! I pray that Nanuk has a full recovery and many more happy times.
I think the fires that you are dreaming about is linked to your overwhelming emotions and/or anxieties that are currently happening in your life. I hope and pray for peace and comfort. ❤ love you!
It makes sense that you are having nightmares about losing your art studio as you fear losing your precious Nanook. It’s so sad and difficult to come to terms with losing what we deeply love. There’s nothing like it in life. Sending my love ❤️
Oh, I didn't even think about that but that makes sense that the dreams have to do with fear of losing Nanook. Dreams are so interesting, how they're so abstract and indirect, and draw different things in our life together like this.
Yes, oh my gosh, as I listen to the dream again it all makes sense! The firefighters coming again and again are like the vets and the medicine that help Nanook get better. But it's inevitable that he'll get sick again, like the house that keeps catching fire again, and like with the very slow faucet, too slow to give enough water to put the fire out, sooner or later you will be helpless to bring him back to health again. Maybe making the nightmares go away isn't about a feeling of gratitude vs fear for the studio. Maybe it's about this same gratitude vs fear of losing Nanook, coming to a place of acceptance, as painful as that may be. Oh, I hope she sees you comment!
I think you hit it on the nose. Dreams often talk in metaphors, where one thing represents another. And the thing Jonna is afraid of losing right now is Nanook.
We lost our 13 year old lab and it was so hard. It's not only about loosing the dog, it is about loosing that time in your life. Enjoy him as much as you can now. He is such a kind spirit. Sending you guys a hug from the U.S.
Nanook is a fighter, we love Nanook - our old dog GARY also had the Vestibular Syndrome for over 12 days - when she was 13, but recovered and lived 2 more years - greetings from Salzburg
Nanook will recover from the vestibulair syndrome. We have a kennel with Siberian huskies and at least 5 of older dogs got this syndrome. Most of them where within a week much better. They lost their balance a little for ever but were happy and continued their retirement. Stay positive and optimistic, dogs are so resilient it’s we humans who suffers the most when our beloved ones are sick 💜
We just buried our 18 year old dog today, he was much loved and travelled Australia. He was deteriorating pretty fast and was hard to watch. My heart goes out to you both, it's been such a pleasure watching Nanook and his adventures ❤️ much love x
71 years old. I’m a portrait artist. I am a dog lover. You are on the right path for your arts. Continue to break those walls to move forward. I have had 4 German shepherds in my life. 3 of them from puppies. It is painful to see them grow old. And to lose the. Stay focused on the love they give you, knowing we all have a limited time here, reflecting that love back to them. Thank you for sharing.
You talking is never a boring video. None of us will ever be ready. Oh, how we love Nanook, the beautiful spirit. I am praying for you and Nanook in Tennessee.
My old 16 year old border collie had vestibular syndrome. It was aweful to watch and experience! I found out (too late) that taking the dog to a dog osteopath would be the best option. Vestibular syndrome has something to do with the blood supply and flow in the inner ear and it is linked to the spine (neck part and atlas) and it might be that Nanook is blocked there. For my 16 year old girl this message came too late but I know now with my 13 year old Flat Coated Retriever how valuable it is to see a dog osteopath regularly (especially with an old dog). So many diseases of dogs are linked to their spine and mobility (especially neck and hips) and I can only say: Guys, get your dogs to the dog osteopath and watch the miracle and believe me: they will live a far longer and happier life!! Hope, this message finds and helps you, Jonna
This is sometimes true for humans also re neck and atlas part related to vestibular system. My old dog used to get nystagmus but it used to pass. I think vestibular system might be damaged but the brain and body learn to adapt and habituate both in humans and dogs
Grief and love are joined. Where there was great love there will be great grief. With time, we can let go of loss, but never of love. Those we love become a part of us, and in that way, never die. What a blessing you are to Nanook and he to you. Blessings and light to you, Jonna. The loss of an animal kindred spirit is one of the toughest things to endure, but he still has life to live yet and I know you'll make it beautiful! Lots of love from New Mexico
The past few years, I have cried with every video when I see Nanook. With the aging process of an animal, you know the pain that you will suffer with a loss and so for years, I’ve cried tears. Today I did it again. Sending strength and all good and healing thoughts and vibes for “our” Nanook. I know the pain and I know the worry. It’s stressful and it’s heartbreaking. Big furry hugs! Love you, puppy! ❤
Dear Jonna. I am so sorry to hear the health scares you had with Nanouk! I am a vet nurse. The vestibular syndrome is awful to look at. We can only treat symptoms. Cerenia tablets for nausea in the beggining. And what we like to give elderly dogs is Karsivan or Propentotab which helps with blood circulation. We leave them on it as a lifelong therapy. What could also help his cognitive function and is only natural ingredients is "Aktivait". Sending you lots of love ❤
I wonder if there are specific movements a physiotherapist can do with Nanouk's head, like with humans. I had BPVV (BENIGN PAROXYSMAL POSITION DIZZINESS) and it took months to get rid of it, but in the end it worked. Not sure if you can apply to animals?
Jonna, hello from NY. I'm crying listening to you. Our dog was so loved, and she got sick at 12 yrs old. It was awful and she passed on my lap, after the vet put her at peace. It's terrible, but I heard the most true statement from an animal Dr. " It's not the dogs who fear to go, because it's nature. It's the people who love them, who suffer when they have to go". I still cry when I think of all my sweet pets, but they're happy now, feel no pain. Just love him and help him feel safe, as his life is only the both of you. Also, your dreams might be bothering you because maybe you haven't been painting like you feel you should be? You feel down deep, your studio is there for you and the work you want to get done? Try a new art project, and it might lessen your bad dreams. You have a lot going on with the other new business in town, so in your dreams, your studio is calling you? I wish you peace with Nanoock
As long as you and Johann are there for Nanook, his little well known world won‘t change - he will feel safe, fearless and loved - no matter what. Lots of love and cuddles ❤
Jonna, you could never be boring! Chat all you want about your gorgeous little boy, we are all here for you and him. He’s part of your family and life, so it’s perfectly natural to feel worried and anxious when he’s ill. I hope by now he’s fit and well again - and excited for his delicious treat. Sending you much ❤️ and best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Ironically, you inspire my long lost, deep love of photography. I feel it is time to break down the walls as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you for reminding me that I am not alone, and that others (even creatives like yourself that I admire) feel creative blocks too. That it’s a CHOICE to break through them🙏🏻✨
Jonna, I am so sorry for your sadness and for nanook. I just discovered you and I’ve been trying to watch all of your videos and send my support with likes, but here is a little bit more. Thank you so much for being yourself and sharing your world with us. You have such a beautiful soul and your videos and jewelry and paintings and music and little family are soo beautiful. You have inspired me so much in the last 3 days I’ve been watching. I work from home and play your videos on repeat 24/7 now! I will pray to all the gods that nanook stays healthy as long as possible. Even though it is a sad time, nanook loves you so much and is so happy and grateful for all you do for him, and he doesn’t want you to be sad. Embrace every moment you have and know he will always be in your heart, always, always. Lastly, no matter what your soul is telling you to do, paint, sing, play, cry, scream, love, we all want you to follow your heart and do what makes YOU happy. We love you!! 💙💚💜
I had an 18 year old chuihuahua who has Vestibular Syndrome and she recovered. It is really scary and hard to not feel helpless. He will be OK. Your love for him will go far beyond they physical. You and Nanook are also soulmates. ❤️
Thank you for sharing Nanook's experiences, it helps others understand different things that can happen to our furbabies. I had to say goodbye to my baby boy recently 🐕and it was devastating. I know your heart is hurting and I'm sorry for your grief. The love is real.
I run an animal rescue and we have had some success with lavender oil for dizziness in guinea pigs with vestibular issues. We rub it on their ears. It doesn't cure anything, but it might relieve some of Nanuk's symptoms. It's also soothing for them. My heart is with you, Jonna. Peace, light, and love.
2023 was a hard year for me. I had 2 strokes but fully recovered except I forget a bit more.the past 2 wks I have been very down and sad and that makes me get very afraid. So it was like magic today when I came across your video. Nanook always makes me smile and the news of him being sick pulled at my heart. Then your story of Melinda Sue from another part of our universe touched my heart. This showed mecwe are all connected in some way, by our hearts, our spirits. TY for your beautiful message and for lifting my heart up, making me feel better.mi send you live and brightness into your days. I will send prayers to the Heavens for your Nanook.. I'm a 74 grandmother whose has watched u for quite awhile now. Seems like each time I watched one of your videos it was meant to be. My ancestry is from your part of this massive world. Maybe that's why I feel connected to you. God bless xo
Our dog had this. The treatment from the vet was instantly helpful. It was motion sickness medicine: Meclizine and Dimenhydrinate. Your veterinarian can tell you the dosage. After 1 hour she was improved and 3 days of medicine, completely better. We had rushed her to vet because we thought she had a stroke. Sending love to Nanuk and you who love him so very much.❤
Yes keep this medication on hand in case Nanook gets another episode. I am a 56 year old woman and I get vestibular issues myself. The anti-nausea medication really helps. Lack of vitamin D is also associated with vertigo. Also maybe Nanook got an infection in his middle ear when he had the cough? That is what happened to me … if I get a cold or flu I can get vertigo a few days after due to a viral infection. Get medication from the vet so you can give it to Nanook if he gets another attack of vertigo. 💕💝💕
Sweet Jonna, I am so sorry to hear about Nanook and how hard it's been for you all. I am sending you SO MUCH love! I am doing a course about energy at the moment and I have just learned how to tap into the collective healing energy. Each morning I've been practicing how to heal myself and others. I will dedicate tommorows meditation to Nanook and send out a healing energy ball. As I am writing this, I realize that at this exact moment you have the jewelry that I ordered at your home to hang it outside one of these days, which makes writing this comment even more special because I rarely comment. You get so many comments that I start thinking "Will my comment even matter, because there will be so many beautiful comments already." But it matters and it solidifies the energy that I am sending you and dear Nanook. Take care, I love you, your energy is so beautiful and pure ❤❤
This is such a beautifully touching video, Jonna, thank you for sharing your honest heart. You radiate light! My eyes welled up as you talked about Nanook & I could feel your sadness. Last week I lost one of my cats who suddenly went downhill, couldn’t walk without her back legs collapsing. It truly is heartbreaking to watch them suffer & not know what they’re feeling. Animals are wise & I honestly believe they can feel our love. Hold him tight & let that love soak into both of you. Sending you hugs across the ether & thank you as well for sharing Melindasue’s channel. I agree, it’s very important right now to spread beauty. ❤
This was a wonderful video Jonna, not boring at all! I cried watching because the love that our four-legged babies give us is unmatched by anything else. We always want them to be just the happiest and healthiest forever. I am so sorry for your poor Nanook, and I hope that he is feeling so much better now and continues to be back to his happy healthy self! Thank you for sharing all your wisdom and for you and Johan, sharing Nanook with all of us too! I love that you talked about breaking down the walls and prioritizing what matters and the whispers of our hearts that we ignore! I want to not ignore those either :) May you continue to do what inspires you and brings joy to your spirit!
I remember when my favorite horse died. I was 22 years old. I cried and cried. He was the embodiment of beauty and strength. He was so smart and well behaved. It wouldn't be worth having them if we didn't love them. And a hurting heart offers tribute to their memory. I'm sure your dog knows that he is in very good and loving hands. I'm sure he has many days ahead.
Ohhh so do I, I moved from Yorkshire in England that got a heck of a lot of snow at winter to a place near the ocean that's lucky to get a days fall a year..I didn't know what i had till I no longer have it.
Yes, I hear the whisper. I feel like I’ve been denying it was there for several years. When you said the words, “breaking your own walls”, I related so deeply that my eyes filled with tears. Why we block ourselves I do not know. Things get in the way I suppose. It feels, to me, that my spirit shrinks to fit into a tiny little space deep inside and once it’s there, it’s hard to let it out. I deny it, ignore it, pretend I’ve more important things to do. Thing is, without my spirit, I am just going through the motions of life without really living it…which is sad, really. Empty. All this is to say that I appreciate you. Every video, regardless of the topic, that you release has a moment that really resonates with me. Something you say or a beautiful visual you capture through your lens hits me right in the heart. This video was no different; I completely understand what you’re saying and feel the same right now. So thank you ❤. So much. Let’s break those walls! For Nanook, I’m sending so much love. To you all. Bless his sweet soul. May you all have much more time together 🤎🤍
"my spirit shrinks to fill a tiny little space deep inside" WOW I felt that, so beautifully said. I've been doing that my entire life. Time to break down some walls! 💪💖
I personally relate with every part of this video. My precious boy Bailey (he was my golden retriever) had this happen a few months before he passed. He was my version of Nanook. We grew up together too. The true reasons why we put things off and the reasons we tell ourselves we can’t. Walls we build. Yes I relate to it all. Don’t be afraid to put your emotions into your art. I’ll be here breaking my walls down along with you 😊 i know it will be difficult in ways but it is needed. I have watched you for a while now, your energy is beautiful and touches each one of us❤
You shouldn't shy away from using art to express those tough emotions either. Some of the most incredible artworks come from raw, vulnerable places. Embrace the full spectrum of your feelings and how they transform into something beautiful or powerful:)
This might sound crazy or silly but it may just work; sometimes in order to get rid of the fear, you have to creatively get it out of your mind and into a canvas. What you should do is make a painting of that art studio on 🔥 then options of either getting rid of it by selling said painting, donating it off, burying it or setting it on fire... Or perhaps hang it somewhere in the studio and make a weird shrine out of it, like if you offer milk and cookies to the weird painting, the studio spirit will stop with the weird hauntings in your sleep. I honestly think it would be cool to do a painting of Nanook. It might be a challenge because sometimes artists paint landscape better than portraits of humans and animals but it may be a cool challenge to give to yourself. Perhaps once you paint the art studio and Nanook, good things will happen!
I found your channel a month ago and since then it has become my safe space. I feel very connected with you and other people here in the comments, even though this is my first comment. Funny that before this video, I was just about to start sewing again after 5 years that I've been avoiding it because of the same reasons that you mentioned. I'm definitely taking part of this challenge of breaking walls with you, let's do it! You have also reminded me to enjoy the beauty and magic of the world and nature around me, thank you so much. I think you are a gift to the world! Love and hugs from Northern Finland to you and everybody else that sees this comment❤️
Hi Jonna! THANK YOU ❤……. I have lost a lot in my life and this summer I lost my soulmate and the joy of my heart! Inka, my 16 year old dog. My losses has closed my heart bit by bit. I didn’t know how to survive otherwise. But after listening to you I know that opening my heart again is the only way! I need to tear down my walls around my heart, my feelings again! Thank you! And about your nightmares, PAINT THEM! I practice Symbolic art, a way to handle your inner, true you and to understand what it want to tell you. It is amazing. It is a different way of painting, it should be fast and without thinking of what you paint. Just paint the feeling. When you then step back and look, you might understand something you didn’t expect. This is my gift to your ❤. From a place near by. 🙏🏼
Oh Jonna, I’m so sorry 😞 we just lost our little bear two days ago to something very similar. Nanook is loved by so many! Sending healing hugs and love to you and the boys.
As someone who struggles with reoccurring vestibular problems, I have deep sympathy for Nanook. As a life long dog mom, my heart hurts for you. Sending peace to you all.
Every time I think you couldn’t possibly be more inspiring, more heart-centered, more just friggin cool, you expand even more. Thank you for sharing your light.
Hi Jonna. You don't know me, but I've been a long-time fan and subscriber of your channel, yet I don't think I've ever commented on any of your videos. This may be a first for me. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you, because out of ALL the channels I subscribe to, yours is the one which holds a special place because of your authenticity, your passion, and the beautiful spirit you possess. Your videos and your talks always put me in a calm and peaceful state. Thank you for your positivity and good vibes, and for sharing that with the world. How things are going now a days, your message is very helpful. I would love to share more about myself, but I rather do so on a one to one correspondence, rather than for the masses. Anyway, I hope you continue to create and be creative. May God bless you and your loved ones.
The photos of you and Nanook are wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing them. Your fears and anxiety over his health are perfectly understandable to anyone who has loved an animal companion. You have literally thousands of people all over the world sending you and Nanook wishes for many more years of health, vitality, and joyful, loving companionship. Your channel is a tranquil island of peace, calm, love and beauty. You are a very special, very beautiful human being. There are many reasons why you have five million followers!
Dearest Jonna, my beautiful friend that I have never met. I am over 50 and have my first dog, who is 8. I finally understand the love of a dog and their human. :-) I pray for Nanook and you and Johan as well. Whatever happens, Nanook knows that he is TRULY loved and will be until the end. . .which will hopefully still be a long while! xo
Poor Nanook! I immediately felt a big lump in my throat and teared up when I heard he hasn't been doing well the past weeks. I am so sorry to hear about this! He is such a precious soul, you're so lucky to have him and he's the luckiest to have you, too. I wish you and Nanook all the very best💗
Having some big tears for Nanook, I know his days are full of love and warmth with you both. I hope his symptoms ease and you all have some more time together ❤
Let's all imagine a protective light around Jonna's art studio and village! We can help her by sending our loving energy to keep her and her family safe! Prayers, lights and peace to you and for Nanog, too on this powerful full moon. I have loved watching your life with Nanog and will miss his presence dearly. Good dreamers can change the world. Jonna is one of them. Thanks for inspiring us all to be creative dreamers.
The thought of losing our furry companions is one of the scariest. I am truly sending nothing but positiveness for you and your sweet earth angel Nanook.
Dear Jonna, I have been going through a similar time with my cat whom I love dearly since 19 years ! so I understand EXACTLY what you are feeling. 💔 The first couple of weeks were agonizing for me but then I began to get braver and learned to administer a drip to help him with dehydration and I even can give him subcutaneous injections to perk him when he is feeling too weak. This has helped him so much and he feels a lot better now and even purrs well when I stroke him. Because I overcame my sadness, I am able to give him these moments of joyful love throughout the day and we are both so much better for it. ❤ We hurt our pets when we give in to the sadness. They are much more accepting then we are and can just take things as they come. He taught me to live more like this, bless his little heart 😍 Also I would like to recommend to you to say a little prayer of protection for your loved ones and your living quarters every morning and every night. Address it to the Creator of all things. Only He has the power to give us true protection. And when you say « I’m going to do this and do that… »… always follow it by saying: »God willing ». The dark forces will leave you alone then. Much love to you from Kuwait ❤❤❤
I have had an older dog with vestibular syndrom. It took about a week to get better. You are doing everything right. Keeing them calm, relaxed, feeling save and loved. Sending lots of love and positive thoughts to Nanook. ❤❤❤
Hey Joanna! I work with a homeopatic veterinarian in Greece and we had to condole a lot of owners about their hardships, losses and grieve with their pets. The most important thing that we tell them is this: The pet does not understand why their owner is worried or sad and thus this makes itself sad. It is not the fact that it is not feeling good or sick. The pain is only for that exact moment that it is hurting and then it moves on for the day. What I am trying to say is to try to be happy for the good progress and cheer Nanook up (I know it is hard, as i lost my senior dog recently) but trust me this will help him with the recovery. Our pets are sensitive to what emotions we give out. Give him treaats, give him hugs but not with fear of loss but with love and try not to be worried around him! I'm sorry if i came out harsh and what i'm about to say is hard. At some point of your life you know the time will come that you will have to let go. This is the natural order of life and nature itself. Our pets aren't afraid, they just pass on without fear, without regrets. They just go to a painless sleep. Just like my Jena moved on 2 weeks ago. You are such a beautifull soul and i know that you understand the way of life and nature! You've got this! I know you can do it and Nanook can too, he can get better with your good energy! With outmost love, Julia. And I hope i can ease some of the sadness of many other owners that are having hardships or with their loss!
Oh Jonna, thank you so much for sharing your feelings with us. Nanook is a beautiful, gentle dog. Sending hugs and prayers to him for healing. I feel your pain also. I lost my Mollie in 12/22 and I am still crying. We love our fur babies. They are part of our family. 🙏🙏❤💕
I'm praying for you three. My family and I experienced this with my dog of 16 years in 2021. He has passed now, but I remember my distress watching him suffer. Sending a lot of love. Nanook loving food is still a hopeful sign. Try not to worry until he doesn't want to do the things he enjoys anymore, and try to enjoy every moment you've got left. Every moment is a gift ❤
I am praying for Nanook and when I go to the Cathedral, I will light a candle and kneel in front of our Lord to pray. Keep him well and comfortable. I have been in your situation and talking to others helps so much. Sending my ❤
Dear Jonna, I'm sorry to hear that Nanook was poorly. Glad he made it through. Pets are family members and the best friend that one can have. You are such a delight, always sending us heartwarming hugs, so be sure we are rooting for you all. Sending warm hugs to you ❤
Jonna - Nanook is your family. You can't know when his time will be you can only love him. Sending you the warmest hugs. I know exactly what you mean about priorities it's easy to stick the most important at the bottom of the list. Take care❤
Jonna, you literally have no idea of what kind of huge fan base you have here in India 🇮🇳... Love all your work... Nordic n Scandinavian vibes hits different for tropical people like us,,it's like divine heaven .
Im so happy to hear that! I see on the analytics of my RUclips channel that India is among the top countries! Amazing! I love India and really want to visit some day! 😍
How right you are... indeed, multitasking drains our energy and we don't do any of the tasks well. My walls are dusty and have green deposits on them. Although I can afford to drop everything, as I have enough to live on, I still get involved in so many things, and the things that really matter, I put on the back burner. The walls need to be broken down, enough is enough!!
Thank you Jonna, and Melinda, and everyone here. I have been in one of the most sorrowful places of my life this last year , but your energy is like a candle burning bright against the frigid dark.
My Great Dane had vestibular syndrome and we were prescribed Meclizine for those episodes. It helped to calm her and make her more steady until she could come out of it. Nanook is your soul dog, his heart is forever inside yours, just as your is inside his. Never forget that .❤❤ Poor Nanook, he only deserves the best in his senior years ❤
I watched you like 5-6 or more years ago and I used to watch to regularly. like EVERY SINGLE VIDEO. I came across this video and decided I would tell you that your art and hard work is appreciated. You work very hard and deserve everything that you have right now! Love you ♡♡
I loved Melinda Sue. Her light just grabs you like a hug! Yes, go Jonna. I kept saying Jonna needs to meet her. It would be awesome....kindred spirits.
I believe Nanook is literally reminding you to bring back balance in your life, especially, championing you to always prioritize what lights you up. Truth always feels good in every way. I commend you for choosing to always break down the walls that block that truth. Sending much love and healing to Nanook and love and gratitude to you all for bringing so much love, light, beauty and inspiration into the world. ❤🙏🏻
My 16 year old four legged family member Maggie also has bouts of the syndrome, and when it happens and her hind legs give out, I massage her legs, it seems to help! Then I help her stand and walk. Maybe happens once a year. Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I have appreciated and enjoyed your creativeness for some time now and you definitely are making a difference in the world
Everything is in the river, and we can not only let ourselves drift, but also swim against the current or sail across to the wind. Only one thing we can't, we can't keep anything and hold nothing forever. You are so creative in your work and have a lot of energy. Thank you, dear Jonna, for sharing so much with us. You're wonderful. 💖🍀😀🤗🍄🙌🏻
When you see a loved one, a fellow human or a furbaby struggling, it's one of the most painful thing to go through. I am sending all the love, healing and positive vibes for poor Nanook and for you as well, Jonna & Johan. You guys are in my prayers. Stay strong and we, your viewers will always support your beautiful family!
Dear Jonna, my heart goes out to you and Nanook ❤ I lost my best fur friend a few years ago, and it’s a loss that impacts your soul forever. From what I learned, the animals feel about death in a way different from us. They sense when their time is up and they go peacefully. Nanook’s eyes are still so full of life, so I’m sure he’ll enjoy so many more moments with you and Juan! Also, regarding your dreams about your studio catching fire. That fear of losing a place you feel safe hits home. I lost my house due to the war, and I still feel anxious and scared because I have no place to go. But this loss has also taught me that this sense of safety is found from the inside and from close people you have, their love and support. No matter what happens, your spirit will remain free, wild, and creative. And you’ll always have people who care about you. That’s your solid foundation. This life can be challenging in many ways, but we can always make it beautiful and fulfilling. Stay strong! Sending big hugs from Ukraine ❤
We all love you and Johann and Nanook so much! My boys, my dogs, are my heart. When they are vulnerable, so am I. We walk together through life. Dogs, animals, offer us unconditional love and joyful presence. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. You make a beautiful difference in this weary wonderful world.
Thank you for sharing, I sit with you in these emotions. Anyone who has had a senior dog can recognize your heart feelings here. I'm so glad you're on Spotify your voice is outstanding. We're here for you 💕

Jonna, I am a 76 year old Nana. I have two sons and four grandchildren. Living alone, I have time to watch you. You are wise beyond your years. Stay true to your pure heart and all will be well. God has blessed you with many gifts. Sometimes the gifts can feel quite heavy. Know that God loves you and is with you through all of your life. Peace, peace, peace! ❤
My old dog also had bad episodes of Vestibular Syndrome, and he had the same symptoms: his eyes couldn't focus, he couldn't stand on his own, he couldn't keep his balance. We had to help him go to the bathroom by using a sling under his belly to help him stay upright. It's really, really hard to see them that way. But it did eventually pass, and my dog recovered his old energy. He lived for several years after his worst Vestibular episode. There's a good chance Nanook will return to his old self and enjoy more years of life. I'm sorry you have to go through this, but try to hold onto hope. ❤❤
Thank you sooo much for sharing your experiences with this. It really helps a lot ❤
Kinda like vertigo for humans? Feeling dizzy all the time, oh so sorry. Just keep praying for strength in your soul and understanding also.
Herding dogs get it more often. But it goes away and sometimes never comes back.
@@jonnajinton
I haven't watched more than 2 minutes of this video yet, but your comment already has me 😭. Animals suffering 💔
I have the same experience with vestibulaire syndrome with one of my dogs.. It comes with no reason and can disappear again but it can take weeks. So stay hopeful, Nanook can become better again and for kennel cough my dogs are vaccinated every year but I wouldn't do that with an old dog. Big hug ❤
I have a vestibular disorder. There was a time that I couldn’t walk from my bedroom to my kitchen. I was bed ridden for two years. One day, I just said no way, this will not be my life. I got up, did a yoga balance pose for 15 seconds, then was down for several days, did it again for 45 seconds, then rinse and repeat. It took me two years of getting out of bed and slowly pushing through this.. Today, I am now a yoga teacher. I still have a slight wobble in my body but yoga gave me my life back. I still feel the left over wobble will heal. ❤
Wow. Reading this was such an inspiration. Mindset wins over everything:) Keep going jennifer:)
@@Harveersandhu-y7k thank you
That's amazing!! ❤ Yoga is Healings ❤
Same..dancing again after lots of years.
@@maria-christinasmyrnaiou1631 that’s so exciting. I did dance as well.
Nanook's ears blowing majestically in the wind will never get old.
🥰❤️❤️
Jonna, our hearts hurt for you two as we watched this with tears streaming down our cheeks. We lost our 15-1/2 year old dog, Emma the night before. Emma absolutely LOVED Nanook. Each time he was on camera, I would say 'Emma! Look, it's Nanook!', and she would actively watch - ears up and forehead wrinkled. It was halfway out of my mouth last night before I realized that she wasn't here. You have given Nanook such a loving home and wonderful life, and when it is his time to transition on, you can be certain that Emma will be waiting for him at the gate and they will watch over us all. Pauline & David in Texas
Much love to you at this hard time ❤
I am so sorry for your loss of Emma.
We are the whole world to our pets. We love them so much for what seems like a short time. I am an old woman now and have loved and lost many pets. The pain never gets easier but I always think of them and miss them.
Showing Nanook love is the best medicine. ❤
❤
You and that beautiful old guy have had a life together that sadly most people will never experience. You know an he knows. Nature blessed you both. Losing them is the hardest part of having them. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you, much love from America.
❤🙏🏻❤️
Love is only equal to the pain. But love also heals.
I don’t know how you could ever read the thousands of comments but I decided to write one anyway, just to release some words into the universe. I cry when I think of Nanook and what he is experiencing yet I am so happy for the most loving precious family he has with you and Johan and so many others. I have laughed, smiled, cried, felt awe and inspiration when I get a glimpse into the exceptional life you are creating and sharing with the world. I’m a 65 year old mother of 3 grown children with 4 beautiful grand babies. I was a dental hygienist, stained glass artist, Ironman athlete and a potter. And then I experienced a life changing accident 12 years ago on a bicycle ride. I am now a “walking quadriplegic” meaning I can walk with a cane but am limited in so many ways. I struggle with what I used to be able to do and the limitations I have but am so grateful to still be on this planet enjoying your beautiful paintings, photography, jewelry and music. You have brought my heart so much joy by just being you and sharing the good and the hard times too. I live on the west coast in Portland Oregon USA and have traveled to Gothenburg with my daughter who married a man from there. What a beautiful country!
I really just wanted to say how much I appreciate and love all you do in bringing beauty to the world.
Thank you from the bottom of my soul ❤ Christy Quinn
This is a beautiful life story! I just wanted to mention that i live in Portland, Oregon too!
Much love, Christy!❤️
Beautiful share! I am in Klamath Falls, Oregon! ❤❤❤
I cried along with you on this video. There is nothing like a pets love and when they are sick, you cant help but be worried and concerned as you just dont want to lose them. My heart goes out to you. I love our pet dog so much. I pray for your Nanook
❤❤❤❤
Wishing for Nanook’s healing ❤ It is never easy when our furry loved ones get sick. Give him all the snuggles you can and know that you give him such a happy life full of love!
My husband purchased a piece of your jewelry as a Christmas gift. It feels appropriate to hold it between my palms and pray for sweet Nanook. That it somehow connects us and that it may somehow allow these prayers to flow in a more direct way. My heart breaks for you as I know first hand the bonds, the unbelievable bonds that can exist between us and our animal companions. Take care sweetheart, and may God lay his healing hands on Nanook. Take care.

Jonna, you have no idea how much you've been helped me!
This morning when I woke up and watched your video, I started drawing on cups instead of sitting in my phone. For few hours I was so consumed by drawing and it felt like my mind was resting, which it hasn't been for a long time, and I've been mentally super tired.
The day after that, instead of opening my laptop first thing in the morning, I started drawing patterns in my notebook. It felt amazing. I'm usually drawing in my ipad, but drawing on paper felt so amazing and so different, and I found myself in such a flow, that I've never drawn like this before. I drew 9 HOURS that day and filled over 10 pages with patterns that I can now tattoo. (I'm also a tattoo artist)
But I've just never ever felt this way when I'm drawing. I'm always thinking too much and I'm scared to make mistakes so I'm never drawing something new. And have always loved the tattooing part of my work, but drawing in my free time has always been super difficult. So I wanted to say THANK YOU! I absolutely love your videos Jonna, you literally are an angel.
L-theanine helped our old dog with vestibular syndrome immensely! It is over the counter, pet and human safe supplement that supports mental clarity, among other things. Our Mili had all the symptoms your baby does, dizzy, disoriented, and sometimes confused. With the supplement, she became more alert, present, and stable, and it was a huge relief to spend quality time with her before it was time for her to pass at the ripe age of 16. ❤
yes please try this
This was not boring, I cried the whole way through. Your precious Nanook is loved around the globe ~ thank you to you and Johan for sharing him with us all. Thank you Nanook for bringing such joy to so many of us ~ such a special being dear, sweet boy. Be well, be free. ♥ Your photo montage filled my whole heart, such a gorgeous love story of you and your boy. I hope the dreams stop and your spirit is soothed. So glad you are revising to be sure that your painting and singing never becomes work, only your passion. Yes - I want to break walls with you! Thank your for inspiring. Blessings on you Jonna, Johan, Nanook.
You said so well that I cannot ad anything and can't write such a beautiful Thank you, Jonah is such a messenger of beauty and love .
Ditto to everything they said. Prayers to you and Nanook healing and comfort
Anyone else sobbing? We love Nanook so much ❤ Praying he makes a recovery 🙏🏼 Send you love ❤
I am so happy your music is on Spotify. My daughter likes to fall asleep with your songs, she asks for "the lady from the mountains" ;) You have a beautiful and calming voice.
Our old dog also had Vestibular Syndrome for over a week when she was 14, but recovered and lived happily 2 more years! I pray that Nanuk has a full recovery and many more happy times.
I think the fires that you are dreaming about is linked to your overwhelming emotions and/or anxieties that are currently happening in your life.
I hope and pray for peace and comfort. ❤ love you!
It makes sense that you are having nightmares about losing your art studio as you fear losing your precious Nanook. It’s so sad and difficult to come to terms with losing what we deeply love. There’s nothing like it in life. Sending my love ❤️
Oh, I didn't even think about that but that makes sense that the dreams have to do with fear of losing Nanook. Dreams are so interesting, how they're so abstract and indirect, and draw different things in our life together like this.
Yes, oh my gosh, as I listen to the dream again it all makes sense! The firefighters coming again and again are like the vets and the medicine that help Nanook get better. But it's inevitable that he'll get sick again, like the house that keeps catching fire again, and like with the very slow faucet, too slow to give enough water to put the fire out, sooner or later you will be helpless to bring him back to health again. Maybe making the nightmares go away isn't about a feeling of gratitude vs fear for the studio. Maybe it's about this same gratitude vs fear of losing Nanook, coming to a place of acceptance, as painful as that may be. Oh, I hope she sees you comment!
I think you hit it on the nose. Dreams often talk in metaphors, where one thing represents another. And the thing Jonna is afraid of losing right now is Nanook.
We lost our 13 year old lab and it was so hard. It's not only about loosing the dog, it is about loosing that time in your life. Enjoy him as much as you can now. He is such a kind spirit. Sending you guys a hug from the U.S.
Nanook is a fighter, we love Nanook - our old dog GARY also had the Vestibular Syndrome for over 12 days - when she was 13, but recovered and lived 2 more years - greetings from Salzburg
soo many people who love Nanook are all sending him love and healing so imagine the energy coming to him as well as your own love and care for him ❤
Nanook will recover from the vestibulair syndrome. We have a kennel with Siberian huskies and at least 5 of older dogs got this syndrome. Most of them where within a week much better. They lost their balance a little for ever but were happy and continued their retirement. Stay positive and optimistic, dogs are so resilient it’s we humans who suffers the most when our beloved ones are sick 💜
We just buried our 18 year old dog today, he was much loved and travelled Australia. He was deteriorating pretty fast and was hard to watch. My heart goes out to you both, it's been such a pleasure watching Nanook and his adventures ❤️ much love x
71 years old. I’m a portrait artist. I am a dog lover. You are on the right path for your arts. Continue to break those walls to move forward. I have had 4 German shepherds in my life. 3 of them from puppies. It is painful to see them grow old. And to lose the. Stay focused on the love they give you, knowing we all have a limited time here, reflecting that love back to them. Thank you for sharing.
You talking is never a boring video. None of us will ever be ready. Oh, how we love Nanook, the beautiful spirit. I am praying for you and Nanook in Tennessee.
My old 16 year old border collie had vestibular syndrome. It was aweful to watch and experience! I found out (too late) that taking the dog to a dog osteopath would be the best option. Vestibular syndrome has something to do with the blood supply and flow in the inner ear and it is linked to the spine (neck part and atlas) and it might be that Nanook is blocked there. For my 16 year old girl this message came too late but I know now with my 13 year old Flat Coated Retriever how valuable it is to see a dog osteopath regularly (especially with an old dog). So many diseases of dogs are linked to their spine and mobility (especially neck and hips) and I can only say: Guys, get your dogs to the dog osteopath and watch the miracle and believe me: they will live a far longer and happier life!! Hope, this message finds and helps you, Jonna
This is a very lovely advice ❤
This is sometimes true for humans also re neck and atlas part related to vestibular system. My old dog used to get nystagmus but it used to pass. I think vestibular system might be damaged but the brain and body learn to adapt and habituate both in humans and dogs
👍👏👏 exact and very good idea
Grief and love are joined. Where there was great love there will be great grief. With time, we can let go of loss, but never of love. Those we love become a part of us, and in that way, never die. What a blessing you are to Nanook and he to you. Blessings and light to you, Jonna. The loss of an animal kindred spirit is one of the toughest things to endure, but he still has life to live yet and I know you'll make it beautiful! Lots of love from New Mexico
The past few years, I have cried with every video when I see Nanook. With the aging process of an animal, you know the pain that you will suffer with a loss and so for years, I’ve cried tears. Today I did it again. Sending strength and all good and healing thoughts and vibes for “our” Nanook. I know the pain and I know the worry. It’s stressful and it’s heartbreaking. Big furry hugs! Love you, puppy! ❤
Dear Jonna. I am so sorry to hear the health scares you had with Nanouk! I am a vet nurse. The vestibular syndrome is awful to look at. We can only treat symptoms. Cerenia tablets for nausea in the beggining. And what we like to give elderly dogs is Karsivan or Propentotab which helps with blood circulation. We leave them on it as a lifelong therapy. What could also help his cognitive function and is only natural ingredients is "Aktivait". Sending you lots of love ❤
I wonder if there are specific movements a physiotherapist can do with Nanouk's head, like with humans. I had BPVV (BENIGN PAROXYSMAL POSITION DIZZINESS) and it took months to get rid of it, but in the end it worked. Not sure if you can apply to animals?
❤
Jonna, hello from NY. I'm crying listening to you. Our dog was so loved, and she got sick at 12 yrs old. It was awful and she passed on my lap, after the vet put her at peace. It's terrible, but I heard the most true statement from an animal Dr. " It's not the dogs who fear to go, because it's nature. It's the people who love them, who suffer when they have to go". I still cry when I think of all my sweet pets, but they're happy now, feel no pain. Just love him and help him feel safe, as his life is only the both of you.
Also, your dreams might be bothering you because maybe you haven't been painting like you feel you should be? You feel down deep, your studio is there for you and the work you want to get done? Try a new art project, and it might lessen your bad dreams. You have a lot going on with the other new business in town, so in your dreams, your studio is calling you?
I wish you peace with Nanoock
❤
Thank you so much for Sharing. I am crying for you so much! I love him as much as I love you and your work. And your wonderful husband
As long as you and Johann are there for Nanook, his little well known world won‘t change - he will feel safe, fearless and loved - no matter what. Lots of love and cuddles ❤
Jonna, you could never be boring! Chat all you want about your gorgeous little boy, we are all here for you and him.
He’s part of your family and life, so it’s perfectly natural to feel worried and anxious when he’s ill. I hope by now he’s fit and well again - and excited for his delicious treat. Sending you much ❤️ and best wishes from the UK 🇬🇧
Am glad you mentioned prayers..... Prayers do move mountains🙏
Am glad he is feeling better, and so are you ❤
Ironically, you inspire my long lost, deep love of photography. I feel it is time to break down the walls as well. Thank you, thank you, thank you for reminding me that I am not alone, and that others (even creatives like yourself that I admire) feel creative blocks too. That it’s a CHOICE to break through them🙏🏻✨
There's nothing worse than when our fur babies get sick. Wishing Nanook a full and speedy recovery
Jonna, I am so sorry for your sadness and for nanook. I just discovered you and I’ve been trying to watch all of your videos and send my support with likes, but here is a little bit more. Thank you so much for being yourself and sharing your world with us. You have such a beautiful soul and your videos and jewelry and paintings and music and little family are soo beautiful. You have inspired me so much in the last 3 days I’ve been watching. I work from home and play your videos on repeat 24/7 now! I will pray to all the gods that nanook stays healthy as long as possible. Even though it is a sad time, nanook loves you so much and is so happy and grateful for all you do for him, and he doesn’t want you to be sad. Embrace every moment you have and know he will always be in your heart, always, always. Lastly, no matter what your soul is telling you to do, paint, sing, play, cry, scream, love, we all want you to follow your heart and do what makes YOU happy. We love you!! 💙💚💜
I had an 18 year old chuihuahua who has Vestibular Syndrome and she recovered. It is really scary and hard to not feel helpless. He will be OK. Your love for him will go far beyond they physical. You and Nanook are also soulmates. ❤️
Thank you for sharing Nanook's experiences, it helps others understand different things that can happen to our furbabies. I had to say goodbye to my baby boy recently 🐕and it was devastating. I know your heart is hurting and I'm sorry for your grief. The love is real.
Melinda went from TWELVE subscribers, to over 6,000! Just from a little shout out from Jonna :)
WOW! Congratulations. Someday my channel will get there...
I run an animal rescue and we have had some success with lavender oil for dizziness in guinea pigs with vestibular issues. We rub it on their ears. It doesn't cure anything, but it might relieve some of Nanuk's symptoms. It's also soothing for them. My heart is with you, Jonna. Peace, light, and love.
Lighting a candle for him and you all now. Sending Nanook all the love and light I have! He is such a blessing to this world ❤
2023 was a hard year for me. I had 2 strokes but fully recovered except I forget a bit more.the past 2 wks I have been very down and sad and that makes me get very afraid. So it was like magic today when I came across your video. Nanook always makes me smile and the news of him being sick pulled at my heart. Then your story of Melinda Sue from another part of our universe touched my heart. This showed mecwe are all connected in some way, by our hearts, our spirits. TY for your beautiful message and for lifting my heart up, making me feel better.mi send you live and brightness into your days. I will send prayers to the Heavens for your Nanook.. I'm a 74 grandmother whose has watched u for quite awhile now. Seems like each time I watched one of your videos it was meant to be. My ancestry is from your part of this massive world. Maybe that's why I feel connected to you. God bless xo
Be well
Lots of love to you ❤❤❤❤
Our dog had this. The treatment from the vet was instantly helpful. It was motion sickness medicine: Meclizine and Dimenhydrinate. Your veterinarian can tell you the dosage. After 1 hour she was improved and 3 days of medicine, completely better. We had rushed her to vet because we thought she had a stroke. Sending love to Nanuk and you who love him so very much.❤
Ours gave us those for our dog also. plus prednisone
Yes keep this medication on hand in case Nanook gets another episode. I am a 56 year old woman and I get vestibular issues myself. The anti-nausea medication really helps. Lack of vitamin D is also associated with vertigo. Also maybe Nanook got an infection in his middle ear when he had the cough? That is what happened to me … if I get a cold or flu I can get vertigo a few days after due to a viral infection. Get medication from the vet so you can give it to Nanook if he gets another attack of vertigo. 💕💝💕
Sweet Jonna, I am so sorry to hear about Nanook and how hard it's been for you all. I am sending you SO MUCH love! I am doing a course about energy at the moment and I have just learned how to tap into the collective healing energy. Each morning I've been practicing how to heal myself and others. I will dedicate tommorows meditation to Nanook and send out a healing energy ball. As I am writing this, I realize that at this exact moment you have the jewelry that I ordered at your home to hang it outside one of these days, which makes writing this comment even more special because I rarely comment. You get so many comments that I start thinking "Will my comment even matter, because there will be so many beautiful comments already." But it matters and it solidifies the energy that I am sending you and dear Nanook. Take care, I love you, your energy is so beautiful and pure ❤❤
This is such a beautifully touching video, Jonna, thank you for sharing your honest heart. You radiate light! My eyes welled up as you talked about Nanook & I could feel your sadness. Last week I lost one of my cats who suddenly went downhill, couldn’t walk without her back legs collapsing. It truly is heartbreaking to watch them suffer & not know what they’re feeling. Animals are wise & I honestly believe they can feel our love. Hold him tight & let that love soak into both of you. Sending you hugs across the ether & thank you as well for sharing Melindasue’s channel. I agree, it’s very important right now to spread beauty. ❤
This was a wonderful video Jonna, not boring at all! I cried watching because the love that our four-legged babies give us is unmatched by anything else. We always want them to be just the happiest and healthiest forever. I am so sorry for your poor Nanook, and I hope that he is feeling so much better now and continues to be back to his happy healthy self! Thank you for sharing all your wisdom and for you and Johan, sharing Nanook with all of us too! I love that you talked about breaking down the walls and prioritizing what matters and the whispers of our hearts that we ignore! I want to not ignore those either :) May you continue to do what inspires you and brings joy to your spirit!
As a veterinarian I hear you. I’ve went through many pets myself and only me and my wife grieve for them.
Jonna, you are so loved. Praying for you and your precious companion. ❤
I remember when my favorite horse died. I was 22 years old. I cried and cried. He was the embodiment of beauty and strength. He was so smart and well behaved. It wouldn't be worth having them if we didn't love them. And a hurting heart offers tribute to their memory. I'm sure your dog knows that he is in very good and loving hands. I'm sure he has many days ahead.
Oh Lord, I miss winter so much! The snow, the ice 💫 It's been 7 years since I had a real snowy winter, what a magical time! 💛
I miss summer already..
Where are you from?
Ohhh so do I, I moved from Yorkshire in England that got a heck of a lot of snow at winter to a place near the ocean that's lucky to get a days fall a year..I didn't know what i had till I no longer have it.
Yes, I hear the whisper. I feel like I’ve been denying it was there for several years. When you said the words, “breaking your own walls”, I related so deeply that my eyes filled with tears. Why we block ourselves I do not know. Things get in the way I suppose. It feels, to me, that my spirit shrinks to fit into a tiny little space deep inside and once it’s there, it’s hard to let it out. I deny it, ignore it, pretend I’ve more important things to do. Thing is, without my spirit, I am just going through the motions of life without really living it…which is sad, really. Empty.
All this is to say that I appreciate you. Every video, regardless of the topic, that you release has a moment that really resonates with me. Something you say or a beautiful visual you capture through your lens hits me right in the heart. This video was no different; I completely understand what you’re saying and feel the same right now.
So thank you ❤. So much.
Let’s break those walls!
For Nanook, I’m sending so much love. To you all. Bless his sweet soul. May you all have much more time together 🤎🤍
"my spirit shrinks to fill a tiny little space deep inside" WOW I felt that, so beautifully said. I've been doing that my entire life. Time to break down some walls! 💪💖
@@SatiricalSarah absolutely! We got this! Love to you 🩷
Me too! I felt it!
Sending so much love and healing to your sweet boy. 🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽🙌🏽
I personally relate with every part of this video. My precious boy Bailey (he was my golden retriever) had this happen a few months before he passed. He was my version of Nanook. We grew up together too.
The true reasons why we put things off and the reasons we tell ourselves we can’t. Walls we build. Yes I relate to it all. Don’t be afraid to put your emotions into your art. I’ll be here breaking my walls down along with you 😊 i know it will be difficult in ways but it is needed.
I have watched you for a while now, your energy is beautiful and touches each one of us❤
You shouldn't shy away from using art to express those tough emotions either. Some of the most incredible artworks come from raw, vulnerable places. Embrace the full spectrum of your feelings and how they transform into something beautiful or powerful:)
This might sound crazy or silly but it may just work; sometimes in order to get rid of the fear, you have to creatively get it out of your mind and into a canvas. What you should do is make a painting of that art studio on 🔥 then options of either getting rid of it by selling said painting, donating it off, burying it or setting it on fire... Or perhaps hang it somewhere in the studio and make a weird shrine out of it, like if you offer milk and cookies to the weird painting, the studio spirit will stop with the weird hauntings in your sleep.
I honestly think it would be cool to do a painting of Nanook. It might be a challenge because sometimes artists paint landscape better than portraits of humans and animals but it may be a cool challenge to give to yourself.
Perhaps once you paint the art studio and Nanook, good things will happen!
I found your channel a month ago and since then it has become my safe space. I feel very connected with you and other people here in the comments, even though this is my first comment.
Funny that before this video, I was just about to start sewing again after 5 years that I've been avoiding it because of the same reasons that you mentioned. I'm definitely taking part of this challenge of breaking walls with you, let's do it! You have also reminded me to enjoy the beauty and magic of the world and nature around me, thank you so much. I think you are a gift to the world!
Love and hugs from Northern Finland to you and everybody else that sees this comment❤️
Hi Jonna! THANK YOU ❤……. I have lost a lot in my life and this summer I lost my soulmate and the joy of my heart! Inka, my 16 year old dog. My losses has closed my heart bit by bit. I didn’t know how to survive otherwise. But after listening to you I know that opening my heart again is the only way! I need to tear down my walls around my heart, my feelings again! Thank you!
And about your nightmares, PAINT THEM! I practice Symbolic art, a way to handle your inner, true you and to understand what it want to tell you. It is amazing. It is a different way of painting, it should be fast and without thinking of what you paint. Just paint the feeling. When you then step back and look, you might understand something you didn’t expect. This is my gift to your ❤. From a place near by. 🙏🏼
Oh Jonna, I’m so sorry 😞 we just lost our little bear two days ago to something very similar. Nanook is loved by so many! Sending healing hugs and love to you and the boys.
As someone who struggles with reoccurring vestibular problems, I have deep sympathy for Nanook. As a life long dog mom, my heart hurts for you. Sending peace to you all.
Love and Peace from germany to you ❤
Every time I think you couldn’t possibly be more inspiring, more heart-centered, more just friggin cool, you expand even more. Thank you for sharing your light.
Hi Jonna. You don't know me, but I've been a long-time fan and subscriber of your channel, yet I don't think I've ever commented on any of your videos. This may be a first for me. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you, because out of ALL the channels I subscribe to, yours is the one which holds a special place because of your authenticity, your passion, and the beautiful spirit you possess. Your videos and your talks always put me in a calm and peaceful state. Thank you for your positivity and good vibes, and for sharing that with the world. How things are going now a days, your message is very helpful. I would love to share more about myself, but I rather do so on a one to one correspondence, rather than for the masses. Anyway, I hope you continue to create and be creative. May God bless you and your loved ones.
Loving can be so bittersweet. Prayers and love to you all.❤🙏
The photos of you and Nanook are wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing them. Your fears and anxiety over his health are perfectly understandable to anyone who has loved an animal companion. You have literally thousands of people all over the world sending you and Nanook wishes for many more years of health, vitality, and joyful, loving companionship. Your channel is a tranquil island of peace, calm, love and beauty. You are a very special, very beautiful human being. There are many reasons why you have five million followers!
Dearest Jonna, my beautiful friend that I have never met. I am over 50 and have my first dog, who is 8. I finally understand the love of a dog and their human. :-) I pray for Nanook and you and Johan as well. Whatever happens, Nanook knows that he is TRULY loved and will be until the end. . .which will hopefully still be a long while! xo
Poor Nanook! I immediately felt a big lump in my throat and teared up when I heard he hasn't been doing well the past weeks. I am so sorry to hear about this! He is such a precious soul, you're so lucky to have him and he's the luckiest to have you, too. I wish you and Nanook all the very best💗
Having some big tears for Nanook, I know his days are full of love and warmth with you both. I hope his symptoms ease and you all have some more time together ❤
This is the finest quality channel you tube ever had I feel so peaceful to watch it ❤
Let's all imagine a protective light around Jonna's art studio and village! We can help her by sending our loving energy to keep her and her family safe! Prayers, lights and peace to you and for Nanog, too on this powerful full moon. I have loved watching your life with Nanog and will miss his presence dearly. Good dreamers can change the world. Jonna is one of them. Thanks for inspiring us all to be creative dreamers.
The thought of losing our furry companions is one of the scariest. I am truly sending nothing but positiveness for you and your sweet earth angel Nanook.
Dear Jonna,
I have been going through a similar time with my cat whom I love dearly since 19 years ! so I understand EXACTLY what you are feeling. 💔
The first couple of weeks were agonizing for me but then I began to get braver and learned to administer a drip to help him with dehydration and I even can give him subcutaneous injections to perk him when he is feeling too weak.
This has helped him so much and he feels a lot better now and even purrs well when I stroke him.
Because I overcame my sadness, I am able to give him these moments of joyful love throughout the day and we are both so much better for it. ❤
We hurt our pets when we give in to the sadness.
They are much more accepting then we are and can just take things as they come.
He taught me to live more like this, bless his little heart 😍
Also I would like to recommend to you to say a little prayer of protection for your loved ones and your living quarters every morning and every night. Address it to the Creator of all things. Only He has the power to give us true protection. And when you say « I’m going to do this and do that… »… always follow it by saying: »God willing ».
The dark forces will leave you alone then. Much love to you from Kuwait ❤❤❤
We love you, Jonna! ❤
I have had an older dog with vestibular syndrom. It took about a week to get better. You are doing everything right. Keeing them calm, relaxed, feeling save and loved. Sending lots of love and positive thoughts to Nanook. ❤❤❤
You are filled with love, light and compassion. You are all that is good in this world. Thank you for sharing from your heart.
Я вас обожаю и переживаю за Нанука. Пусть он будет здоров и мы все счастливы❤
Hey Joanna!
I work with a homeopatic veterinarian in Greece and we had to condole a lot of owners about their hardships, losses and grieve with their pets. The most important thing that we tell them is this: The pet does not understand why their owner is worried or sad and thus this makes itself sad. It is not the fact that it is not feeling good or sick. The pain is only for that exact moment that it is hurting and then it moves on for the day. What I am trying to say is to try to be happy for the good progress and cheer Nanook up (I know it is hard, as i lost my senior dog recently) but trust me this will help him with the recovery. Our pets are sensitive to what emotions we give out. Give him treaats, give him hugs but not with fear of loss but with love and try not to be worried around him!
I'm sorry if i came out harsh and what i'm about to say is hard.
At some point of your life you know the time will come that you will have to let go. This is the natural order of life and nature itself. Our pets aren't afraid, they just pass on without fear, without regrets. They just go to a painless sleep. Just like my Jena moved on 2 weeks ago.
You are such a beautifull soul and i know that you understand the way of life and nature! You've got this! I know you can do it and Nanook can too, he can get better with your good energy!
With outmost love, Julia.
And I hope i can ease some of the sadness of many other owners that are having hardships or with their loss!
Oh Jonna, thank you so much for sharing your feelings with us. Nanook is a beautiful, gentle dog. Sending hugs and prayers to him for healing. I feel your pain also. I lost my Mollie in 12/22 and I am still crying. We love our fur babies. They are part of our family. 🙏🙏❤💕
Nanook is so lucky to have such loving parents. Praying he feels better soon!! xx
I'm praying for you three. My family and I experienced this with my dog of 16 years in 2021. He has passed now, but I remember my distress watching him suffer. Sending a lot of love. Nanook loving food is still a hopeful sign. Try not to worry until he doesn't want to do the things he enjoys anymore, and try to enjoy every moment you've got left. Every moment is a gift ❤
I am praying for Nanook and when I go to the Cathedral, I will light a candle and kneel in front of our Lord to pray. Keep him well and comfortable. I have been in your situation and talking to others helps so much. Sending my ❤
Dear Jonna, I'm sorry to hear that Nanook was poorly. Glad he made it through. Pets are family members and the best friend that one can have. You are such a delight, always sending us heartwarming hugs, so be sure we are rooting for you all. Sending warm hugs to you ❤
Thank you with all my heart ❤
@@jonnajinton 🥰
Jonna - Nanook is your family. You can't know when his time will be you can only love him. Sending you the warmest hugs. I know exactly what you mean about priorities it's easy to stick the most important at the bottom of the list. Take care❤
Jonna, you literally have no idea of what kind of huge fan base you have here in India 🇮🇳... Love all your work... Nordic n Scandinavian vibes hits different for tropical people like us,,it's like divine heaven .
Im so happy to hear that! I see on the analytics of my RUclips channel that India is among the top countries!
Amazing! I love India and really want to visit some day! 😍
Yes I am Indian too!! But my heart belongs to that true nature ❤ I love you u....YOU are inspiration for me❤😊
You should visit some meditation or yoga retreat center in India, your videos showcases your meditative side a lot
Yes that's all I wanna say since many years...
Love from India ❤❤❤❤
How right you are... indeed, multitasking drains our energy and we don't do any of the tasks well. My walls are dusty and have green deposits on them. Although I can afford to drop everything, as I have enough to live on, I still get involved in so many things, and the things that really matter, I put on the back burner. The walls need to be broken down, enough is enough!!
Thank you Jonna, and Melinda, and everyone here. I have been in one of the most sorrowful places of my life this last year , but your energy is like a candle burning bright against the frigid dark.
My Great Dane had vestibular syndrome and we were prescribed Meclizine for those episodes. It helped to calm her and make her more steady until she could come out of it.
Nanook is your soul dog, his heart is forever inside yours, just as your is inside his. Never forget that .❤❤
Poor Nanook, he only deserves the best in his senior years ❤
The most important thing is he’s been happy and well loved .. your love for him will always stay with you ❤
I watched you like 5-6 or more years ago and I used to watch to regularly. like EVERY SINGLE VIDEO. I came across this video and decided I would tell you that your art and hard work is appreciated. You work very hard and deserve everything that you have right now! Love you ♡♡
I loved Melinda Sue. Her light just grabs you like a hug! Yes, go Jonna. I kept saying Jonna needs to meet her. It would be awesome....kindred spirits.
I believe Nanook is literally reminding you to bring back balance in your life, especially, championing you to always prioritize what lights you up. Truth always feels good in every way. I commend you for choosing to always break down the walls that block that truth. Sending much love and healing to Nanook and love and gratitude to you all for bringing so much love, light, beauty and inspiration into the world. ❤🙏🏻
My 16 year old four legged family member Maggie also has bouts of the syndrome, and when it happens and her hind legs give out, I massage her legs, it seems to help! Then I help her stand and walk. Maybe happens once a year. Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I have appreciated and enjoyed your creativeness for some time now and you definitely are making a difference in the world
Everything is in the river, and we can not only let ourselves drift, but also swim against the current or sail across to the wind. Only one thing we can't, we can't keep anything and hold nothing forever.
You are so creative in your work and have a lot of energy.
Thank you, dear Jonna, for sharing so much with us. You're wonderful.
💖🍀😀🤗🍄🙌🏻
When you see a loved one, a fellow human or a furbaby struggling, it's one of the most painful thing to go through. I am sending all the love, healing and positive vibes for poor Nanook and for you as well, Jonna & Johan. You guys are in my prayers. Stay strong and we, your viewers will always support your beautiful family!
Dear Jonna, my heart goes out to you and Nanook ❤
I lost my best fur friend a few years ago, and it’s a loss that impacts your soul forever. From what I learned, the animals feel about death in a way different from us. They sense when their time is up and they go peacefully. Nanook’s eyes are still so full of life, so I’m sure he’ll enjoy so many more moments with you and Juan!
Also, regarding your dreams about your studio catching fire. That fear of losing a place you feel safe hits home. I lost my house due to the war, and I still feel anxious and scared because I have no place to go. But this loss has also taught me that this sense of safety is found from the inside and from close people you have, their love and support. No matter what happens, your spirit will remain free, wild, and creative. And you’ll always have people who care about you. That’s your solid foundation. This life can be challenging in many ways, but we can always make it beautiful and fulfilling. Stay strong! Sending big hugs from Ukraine ❤
Beautiful Nanouk is a lovely dog. Getting old isn’t for wimps. He’s a lovely addition to your already lovely posts.
We all love you and Johann and Nanook so much! My boys, my dogs, are my heart. When they are vulnerable, so am I. We walk together through life. Dogs, animals, offer us unconditional love and joyful presence. Thank you for sharing your heart with us. You make a beautiful difference in this weary wonderful world.
Dein Hund ist eine ganz besondere Seele. Alles alles Liebe für ihn, und auch für euch ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You are the purest thing that was created in this world same time as we all are in these comments! Adoring your beautiful being.. ✨ best wishes! ❄️
Thank you for sharing, I sit with you in these emotions. Anyone who has had a senior dog can recognize your heart feelings here. I'm so glad you're on Spotify your voice is outstanding. We're here for you 💕
Sending all of the love and healing vibes to dear, sweet Nanook. May he recuperate swiftly. It’s always such a pleasure to see you, Jonna ❤
Thank you so much ❤❤❤
