❤ I agree but we all know that Jamie loved his fur baby very much. It's ok to grieve but keep positive. You and your buddy have touched our hearts. We're have lost our fur baby back in December 2022.

You did the right thing Jamie. Please no regrets. You'll never know how much pain Sherpa might have been in, dogs being so stoic about t things like that, but your choice freed him and ultimately was selfless.
@@pilgrimpeace7763 I did exactly that to my Barney (Border Collie) back in 2001. I always think about Barney even though I moved to another property afterwards. The pressure was insane I see this in Jamie. It's a difficult situation to be in. But it will get easier for Jamie all he has to do is keep in contact with us through RUclips etc 🐕👍
Jamie. I hope you read this. You gave Sherpa the best life a dog could ask for, he was cared for, fed well, sheltered, walked everywhere, went anywhere you could take him, got lots of treats, was socialised regularly with humans and dogs, he knew love inside and out because of you. Not a lot of dogs get that much respect, care and love from their owners like Sherpa did. He stayed near you so he could make sure you were ok as much as you did him and if you brought him into your bed that night, you wouldn't have had his last scent on his blanket. It was part of his last gift to you to help you in mourning.
@@Lozza2993 that's so true, Jamie's an amazing guy. The love and bond those 2 had, will never ever be broken ❤️. We love you Jamie and Angel Sherpa ❤️🙏🌈xxx
You were a wonderful daddy to Sherpa! You did everything for him and so much love. I know that all of us do the same with regrets but for sure you should not have any. Don’t apologize for your grief, all of us that have animals do understand. So sorry for your loss and you are in everyone thoughts🙏✨❤️
I really an idea recently that the grief we feel in losing a pet is because we now have nowhere to put all the love we felt. And if/when another pet comes into our life, it gives us somewhere to put all that love. I found that quite comforting.
I have to respectfully not agree with you on that. For some people getting another is the healing tonic. And for some it is not. That is just the reality of it.
Jamie, remember just because you can't see him with your eyes, you can always see him with your heart. He is patrolling his garden and watching over you, forever with you ❤
Thank You for saying that everytime I try to put my feelijngs into words I end up a blubbering mess and he was not even my dog I knew him from online and I can't cope sometimes I watched an old video of Key and Sherpa and Sherpa went for a visit and he came to the door and said let me in or something and I just lost it in tears
DO NOT second guess your decision! What you did for him was a gift~ the boy you loved was already gone. He was in horrible pain, and you with love allowed him to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Your heart break is REAL, and you do not need to explain to anyone. WE LOVE you Jamie... and will always love Sherpa!
Jamie those of us who have lost a beloved dog know exactly how you are feeling . You are grieving , just take your time , take comfort that he had the best life and he was LOVED
From the moment you adopt a pet, you become responsible for not only their life, but also their death. You gave Sherpa the best life possible, but also the kindness of a peaceful painfree death. Be proud of yourself Jamie, in the same way that we are proud of you!
Yes I told my vet on Trudy’s last visit that I promised to be there at the end at our beginning. I buried her myself but I was much younger then . Waldo will probably be cremated when he passes in a few months to a year or maybe two. This time I added a second dog a little over a year so we can both have a reason to carry on.
You did the right thing, an older dog does not have the resources to recover from a huge operation and then be healthy without vital organs, always on medicines. We will remember him as that strong, energetic, characterful howler in the street. Everybody who met him loved him and he loved them back.
JohnDavis-ed5sg, I agree with your sentiment. Being that humans have been blessed with boundless capacities for empathy, reason, and vocalization, we are supposed to be the "voice of reason" for those loved ones that - by hook or crook - cannot speak for themselves. While some viewers wanted Jamie to carry-on with Sherpa, I'm personally glad that, in the end, he considered Sherpa's quality of life.
After a certain stage of infirmity in an old dog, keeping Sherpa alive for longer, unable to control peeing and pooing, would not have been kindness. You did the right thing for him, even though you are hurting badly yourself. Please don't make hasty decisions about your car, your house etc for several months. Allow yourself some stability and calmness after this awful emotional upheaval. Xx
As a person with clairvoyant/medium tendencies you are correct. Whenever a person or a fur babies dies they are still around us. They can hear and see us even in spirit. Sherpa will always be with Jaime no matter where he goes. Jaime will sense when Sherpa is around him. Animals accept death and know when it's time to go. In a way they are better than humans to accept death. Sherpa no longer has the problems he had on this earth he is running around free from pain and discomfort. We will miss Sherpa immensely but I know he will always be with Jaime at his side and it brings me comfort to know this.
Dear Jami, Sherpa was telling you he was ready to go. He loved you and wouldn't want you to suffer just like you didn't want him to suffer. I'm glad you know it was the right thing to do. He IS with you. You may not see him yet, but you will, when you least expect it. It was almost a full year before my best friend showed herself to me. I felt such comfort, knowing she was no longer in pain. That is where Sherpa is now. Pain free, running free, patrolling the garden, chasing the birds from the feeders .....and loving you for all wonderful adventures you both went on.
Grief is the most horrendous emotion. The harder we grieve the more we loved. Sherpa was loved all over the world and we are grieving right along with you. ❤
May God Bless you and give you comfort in your loss. I lost my Duke a red and white Husky 6 years ago suddenly and I can still be brought to tears over it I also lost my husband 2 years later I watch a lot of Husky and Malnute videos and I loved Sherper too
We love you too, so much. Love and hugs to you from across the pond in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I miss seeing Sherpa's new vlog every day, I'm so glad that you are still making videos and letting us know how you're doing.
Scatter a few of his ashes there or down at the lake. Jamie we watch your channel because we love your relationship with shepra and Sarah. Maybe when you are ready maybe become a puppy walker/ border for guide dogs or help out a local animal as a forster carer for the dogs. Maybe go and see some of those places abroad where you couldn't go with Sherpa and take us along with you.
I expect this note will get lost in the mix but here goes: Jamie, though you bought your home with Sherpa’s happiness in mind, please know that it was always meant to be his gift to you. Pets are not designed to live as long as human, but just like you felt it in Little Red, his love will always be there with you, watching as you rebuild your life with new daily routines as well as the inevitable crossing of spaces you shared before. It’s all good. 🥰
Remember Jamie, we didn’t watch JUST for Sherpa. We watched for Sherpa AND you. We will always be there for you. Not everyone grieves through the same timeframe. It may take you weeks, months, even longer. And that’s ok. That is so much okay. As I’ve said, you wanna film just mowing the lawn, you do it and we’ll watch. We’re here for you in this difficult time and grieve with you. Nothing we say can amount to easing the pain but I hope all of our support can continue giving you a safe place to mourn and remember and come to for help. Everything in its time.
This. All of this. I'd watch Jamie clean the car or the house. ❤❤ Massive hugs Jamie. Every single one of us is right here behind you, for whatever you need. 💜💜
Losing a friend is never easy. Giving our friends a comfortable ending is the least we can do. And mourning is just love without a place to go. Be at peace, friend.
HEARTFELT ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO’S BEEN THRU’ IT: *PUT HIS BLANKETS/TOYS IN SELF SEALING BAGS TO PRESERVE HIS SCENT. *START A NEW ROUTINE DOING THINGS THAT BRING YOU JOY. *CONSIDER GETTING ANOTHER PUP WHEN YOU ARE READY.
@@MdRobin-bv5gv Often dog parents are emotionally tied to specific breeds. I have had three Huskies and would never consider having another breed. Having Sherpa for over 13 years , Jamie understands Malamutes and Huskies so, when he is ready, bringing another one into his life will likely work far better.
When the time is right become a dog daddy again , Sherpa would love to know he's got a brother looking after you, and you're such a wonderful dog owner ❤
I’m Jewish. For the first week after someone passes we sit Shiva. The first week, we grieve and allow others to be there for us. We are here for you through this.
Wanted to share this poem. " God saw that he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him, and whispered , "Come with me". With tear- filled eyes we watched him suffer and fade away. Although we loved him deeply, we could not make him stay. A Golden heart stopped beating, hard - working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. " This fits Sherpa. It was the poem I chose for my dad when he passed in 2020.
Amen to that. We had our dog from when I was 7 until I was 22. Lot of the same issues as Sherpa at the end, benign tumors, but tons of them. I think we put off the inevitable for a bit too long, for her sake. That was over 30 years ago, and if I think about her too much, I will tear up.
Dear Sherpa is immortalised in his books and the videos of his adventures. His Christmas story with the Robins was epic and his plushy went into space, got frozen, survived re-entry and landed where you were able to find him.What a hero. 🥰
In honor of Sherpie, go on a trip / adventure that you always wanted to do. Come to the USA and take a tour of the places that you received pictures and cards from your fans here. I am sure we would all be honored to host you on your adventure
I lost my 16-year-old companion last year, which was the most heartbreaking experience of my life. He saw me grow from a boy to a man, and I still deeply miss him. I haven't brought myself to get another pet since then because I fear going through that loss again. Reflecting on this brings back so many emotions. It feels like reliving the pain all over again. But I find comfort in knowing that my buddy, Sherpa, and all the dogs who have crossed the rainbow bridge are happy and watching over us. Their memories will always remain in our hearts.
Sherpa knows you did everything in your power to make him feel better! The UNCONDITIONAL LOVE & BOND YOU SHARED WILL LAST A LIFETIME JAMIE!! HE WILL ALWAYS BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE! HE'S IN THE BACK OF THE MINI LISTENING TO YOU RIGHT NOW! HE IS ALSO MOURNING LOSING YOU, JAMIE!💯👆🐾🐕🦺🚘💞🌈💔🕊@SherpasDay
Totally agree I lost my lovely cat nearly 4 years ago but I feel her love still now the way she welcomed me home from work and the way she would lie by my side at night I will never forget her.
Energy never dies, it only transforms. He'll Always Be With You ❤️ talk to him, he's there & keep an eye out for signs from him, they'll be there. He's your Guardian Angel now... Be at Peace, Jamie.
It's the little things that are hard. The walks alone - the empty water bowl - the quiet. It's okay to do whatever you can to comfort yourself. I so very much understand the weird freedom feeling - suddenly so much you can do but you really don't feel like doing much at all. You're not alone, you won't be alone, we won't let you be alone. 💗
Maybe you could help a shelter dog? Some people are just supposed to have dogs, and you are probably one of them. When you give yourself permission to have another fur baby, it will have been sent by your other dog who passed. We’re not supposed to walk alone 🌹
What about doing dog walking for owners who need help with that for a while? You would have purpose and doing something you enjoy and are good with and helping the animal too. Just something that popped into my head. 👌🏻🫶🏻👍🏻🤔🙂
Jamie-- what makes you think Sherpa isn’t with you? Just because you might not be able to see him-doesn’t mean that LOVE doesn’t cross all barriers! Talk to him and know his love and your love crosses all barriers!
Yes, exactly! I have been LOOKING for Sherpa in this vid - seeing if I could SEE movement 'in the air", or footprint impacts on the earth/ grass. I am CERTAIN Sherpy is there. He would SO WANT Jamie to acknowledge him, speak to him, try to feel his energy (a kind of fuzzy/ itchy/ buzzing, with warmth), and try to pet him. The trick to this is to remember his size relative to the surroundings - what was the height of the tops of his ears, his head, his back, the front and ends of his body, where is heart would be, etc. When you touch/ connect with those parts, you will FEEL it. Then, ask Sherpa (or your dog) to come and sit right close to you, directly in front of you, and raise your hand higher than where his head would be, and slowly bring your hand down, feeling for his body energy. I ask for tingles and sparkly white/ silver light, when I connect with my guy's form. (I don't seem him clearly, just "vibrations in the air", a flash of black, vibrations of movement as he walks by, etc.) I still offer him first dibs on sampling my food (which I NEVER did - off my own plate, IRL), and I can usually see/ FEEL something. Jamie & Sherpa went ghost-hunting in haunted places, so he shouldn't be scared. And, connecting with your beloved pet on the other side of the veil, feels SO good. I also ask my guy to give me his scent - it used to happen a lot, but less frequently now. It is a REAL treasure when you smell it. Also, even though my guy NEVER slept on my bed, after he passed, he began to sleep ON me - I can STILL feel the covers touching my body more where he is, and the warmth of his very slight soul-body weight. He is so warm, that I've even had to kick him off in the heat of the summer! BRENT ATWATER, animal/ pet psychic & medium, is gifted in seeing and connecting with - AND helping US to connect with, (our) beloved pets after they've passed. ** Always do a spiritual protection (should have said this first) - you only want your pet to come - no trouble-makers. Use the Christ light around you, or other. Gosh I hope that Jamie - or someone close to him, reads this and passes the info on. Cheers!
Someone once described death as simply stepping into another room. I like to think Sherpa is still in the house that you shared with your Best Buddy. I swear after my Rambo left I could still feel and hear him jumping off the couch in the living room. As long as you keep him in your thoughts and heart he will always be with you. God Bless!!
Hi Jamie. Please don't regret not having Sherpa on your bed. He may have tried to get off the bed during the night and fallen off. Then he would have definitely been in big trouble. You gave Sherpa the BEST life any dog could ask for. Thank you for allowing us to grieve with you. Sending Love to you from British Columbia, Canada. ❤❤❤
If it's helping you Jamie then keep on talking, we will always listen. It was an honour to be able to share Sherpas life , thank you and although it's heartbreaking it's comforting to be able to share his passing with you.
Jamie you let Sherpa pass with dignity, he’s poor body was failing ~ Sherpa would NOT have liked living like that . You gave him so many wonderful travels, and wanders by the moors …… so much I can’t count. He lived a very loved, happy life ~ never forget that . HUGS
You were 100% right in putting his quality of life over quantity. It is a testament to your love for him that you broke your own heart to ease his pain. As to not lifting him on your bed, unless you have a crystal ball, there is no way you knew that would be his last night with you. Grief is funny though, it will create regrets and what ifs, out of nowhere. I'm so glad you are sharing your grief with us. We are honored. Holding it in is very destructive. Sending hugs across the pond.
You said every heartfelt thing I was trying to compile for my message to Jamie. Well done!! Very insightful, along with a whole lotta love...Thank you!
So very true. Having a dog or cat who is getting on in years and showing your love for them is making the decision that is right for your best friend. There comes a time when you look into their eyes and they are telling you it’s time for their next adventure and that he/she will be waiting for you. You did a great loving service for 😢Lord Sherpie. Never doubt that. Take care, JoAnne
Don't get 'down' on the house Jamie. You bought it for Sherpa AND yourself. Sherpa loved it, and you do too. In time, be it 6 months, a year, or however long, a new pup will love it too. Imagine the joy it will bring to another. Sherpa would 100% approve I'm sure. Meantime do some small projects to enhance your garden and keep yourself, and us!, entertained. A hut, a raised bed, a veggie patch, a wildlife pond. It will all come together in its own time.
I still agree with this..l wanted to move when l lost my 20 years old cat..just give yourself time Jamie,you are grieving,what you are feeling and going through is normal,so is crying,it’s all part of it. I tear up listening to you because I’ve been there as has everyone else who sends you messages. Please take care of yourself..try to eat something,sleep and make a land first your beautiful garden. A huge hug to you Jamie.
I nursed my sheltie Madl through the last year of her life (age 13)--special homemade menu, carrying her up and down stairs, putting up gates to stop her from falling down stairs, taking her out at 3:00 in the morning to do her business. I worried that I had kept her with me too long, but our vet said, no, Madl had a great summer. When it turned bad, Madl let me know it was her time to go and I know we made the right decision for our little girl. She always slept on my bed and her soft weight beside me is what I missed the most. I know it's not easy to say goodbye, but you did everything you could and more for your precious Sherpa. Take care, Jamie.
It's funny the things you do for your pets. In my case, it was my cat that I nursed the last year of his life. It seemed a lot at the time, and some people may even say too much, but I would do it all over again. You just do. I still miss Cody and his fluffy tummy 😢.
Bless you, I also cared for my dear baby and carried her up and down the stairs at odd hours, the amount of love I felt is proportional to the amount of sorrow. Her life and her passing have been a breaking point in my life. We’re so lucky to have loved so much ❤
@@cathyburke5547 You did what your heart desired to do. That’s called…..love. We love our little family members, and do what we can. I lost my old boy, Sherman, in February. He was 15. I will always miss him. I was called upon about a puppy, and whilst I wasn’t ready, I took him in. I honestly believe that Sherman sent me Sheriff. ❤
Jamie, I’m so sorry about Sherpa. I don’t know if you’ll read this but if you do, you may want to consider putting Sherpa’s blanket in a bag to preserve his smell. I’m so sorry for the pain you’re having to live through, I lost my boy a year and a half ago and I’m still heart sick over him. You were amazing to Sherpa, you were his whole world.
I lost my Auggie girl two years ago. I suffered for ten days, then I went and found a rescue dog who needed me. We rescued each other ❤️ God bless Sherpa he was such a a good friend
I like that. I hope Jaime will adopt again soon. It helps so much to have another animal to spoil and love on! Doesn't give us a chance to dwell but rather to mourn surrounded by love. Don't mourn alone!
Whenever I lost one of my rescue dogs (I've had ten in total, usually in pairs) I too would look for another rescue dog to save me. My last dog took three months to arrive at my home from Bulgaria, but she was well worth the wait. Now she is gone and because of my poor health, I can't have another dog, and it is killing me. 54 years with dogs, and now it is 17 months and counting without one. I know which I preferred. R.I.P. Sherpa
I lost my cat Beady four years ago during the peak of COVID, it was heartbreaking to see him go, especially during a difficult time. Eventually I went and got another cat to keep me company, because I couldn't deal with being on my own.
I'm tearing up at the image of Sherpa's garden with his bowl waiting for him, and the familiar smell of his blanket. Bless you, Jaime, for sharing your grief with us. You watched over him so lovingly all this life. Sherpa's spirit is watching over you. 💞
You will never replace Sherpa. Trust me, He is going to send/put some fur friend in your path. He is going to share his human so you aren’t lonely. It’s happened to me.❤❤❤
Every dog owner who loved his dog like you do goes through the same grief … it hurts so much.. seeing shadows of your dog, smell the dog and just so intensely missing your best friend. Give yourself time ..
The joy my heart feels as I encounter tributes to you, 😢Jamie, and Sherpa validates the deep love in this amazing global family, the community seeded by you, Jamie generously sharing Sherpa's adventures with us all. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Only a brief comment: Taking Sherpa to the Vet one last time, is bittersweet. He was always ready with what ever you did with him. Taking him to the Vet, again, was like any other time. This time, he closed his eyes and took his last earthly breath. The last thing he saw was you & felt his friend's touch. Be Proud and Satisfied ~ you did right by him and so much more! Healing takes a long time. We never forget. He is alive in our memories!! The Very Best to You, Mr. Jamie ...
Today is the first day that I woke up not only with grief, but also with a feeling of great happiness that Sherpa lived. He gave me, my mother and so many people so much joy and light in life. Thank you Sherpa, thank you Jaime. And thanks for getting in touch.
whenever i was sad watching videos of sherpa would always make me feel so much better he made me laugh and smile so much im even smiling now thinking about him
Jamie, when you're ready, take all the treats Sherpa had and share them with dogs in shelters in his name and also with Nook and K'eyush . Keep well and remember to eat as Sherpa will be watching you as he plays with Phil. ❤
I just leave this here because it helped me alot when a friend told me this: The reason why dogs are only here for us for such a short time of our lives is, that they are born with such pure souls, with unconditional love and such pure and loving hearts, that they earn their wings for going to heaven so fast. I know that one day their will be all my dogs and cats greeting me when it is time to go. And just be assured that there is a little Dachshund Girl called "Efi" who will show him around and keep him company. May he rest in peace, he was a good boy! Love from Germany!
You give a piece of yourself away out of love, that piece is filled with your dogs love! Your whole life, your dog will be alive in that mutually exchanged piece of love. You live for two now, so if you feel the urge to pee on a tree, Do it for the both of you. If you then while peeing want to lift up one leg, don't! ;)
No one should give you any backlash. As an animal owner who has been through the same thing multiple times, I completely understand what you are saying. Remember, there is no time limit on grief.
Do not hesitate to cry. Do not feel embarrassed or "un-manly." You just lost your Best Friend; your companion; your family. Let out your grief, your pain, your RAGE. After I lost my precious Riley last year I did not want to be in our home. I would go anywhere to avoid having to be there without him. I would walk through malls or on the boardwalk and the tears would race down my face and I did not give a damn if someone saw me. And when i was home every now and then I would just SCREAM. I felt such pain and anger and loneliness and sorrow. I had to release it. Sherpa was ill but he declined very quickly. Like you said, on that day you were not expecting to lose him. His passing was very quick. It was a SHOCK. And now walking around the home you bought for him and shared with him and being all alone among his things is agony. You can smell him and sense him and feel him. One day that will actually be a comfort. But right now that can add to the pain. We are all different but being totally alone is not a very healthy thing when grieving. No matter how many people out here love Sherpa no one loves him like you do. And no one else can fully understand just what you have lost because your connection to him was just between you and him. But I hope you do not give up on some of your routines. It will be good to start new ones but don't give up on all the things you did with your BLESSING. That is your special place; your special thing that you shared with Sherpa. Hold on to it. It will bring you comfort.
Sherpa would not want you to allow that to haunt you, he loved you and you know he did. He was such a wonderful dog. You absolutely did the right thing. One day at a time, it takes one day at time, Jaimie. Sherpa is not in pain and is patrolling that garden, even though you cannot see him
A new puppy is a chance to meet another unique friend and share that special bond all over again. It's not betrayal, but a new beginning. When I lost a dog I couldn't fathom getting another but it honestly saved me. Our souls are not complete without a dog in our lives ❤
I agree! When I lost the best dog I've ever had I was so devastated I could not imagine having another dog anytime soon. I kept coming home from work to a empty home & no wagging tail greeting. After 2 weeks of feeling empty & alone I got a dog. It was the best decision for me & my happy came back full of love for the new pup. Not a replacement, just different but wonderful . Take care of yourself Jamie You will be okay, I promise ❤
❤❤❤@taaffmaster Jamie when you r ready there is a furbabywaiting for forever home with someone like you to love them so hang in there it does get better
❤Jamie, in response to Sherpa patrolling. Sherpa’s always in front of you to guide your path, always behind, to never lose sight of you, and sits by your side until the day you’re together again. ❤️🌈
Jamie, one thing I noticed with my dogs and cat crossing, is that their visits in spirit form are subtle. You might hear little sounds, the clink of a collar, the sound of toenails on the floor. You might catch a glimpse of them out of the corner of your eye. It's not dead on. I believe Sherpa is with you, he's still patrolling the yard, and he's watching over you. He's crossed over but he is with you too. Their love for us never ends, as ours never ends for them. The laying down of the physical body doesn't change that. We are all with you too!
Yeah sometimes and sometimes they come to us in our dreams well mine does on occasion it’s usually when I’m worried about something or overstressed. Hope this makes sense.
Sherpa had the best life in his new house, he was in charge of the garden, any work Jamie did he was always making sure he was doing a good job. Sherpa will never be far away he is in our memories and in our hearts, Sherpa will always be loved and missed terribly ❤
Jamie, Sherpa was in pain he couldn't walk.,he is in Heaven now,you don't need to second guess your choices, you did what you should have done for the dog that you loved ,and will love for the rest of your life he will always be with you....
You don't really need anyone to say it but... Sherpa wouldn't want you to limit your life without him. You gave him the best life possible and thst's what he'd want for you. ❤❤❤
Sherpa is with you no matter where you are he is at peace and you did the right thing you stopped his pain it will take time to heal but it will get better day by day he will always be in your thoughts Jamie nothing will take that away i no it is hard but you will get there keep strong.xx❤
We are still here for you Jamie, right by your side. We are not going anywhere. Keep posting. Let us all know how you're feeling. It takes time to heal. Give yourself all the time you need.
Jamie you have a daughter. Spends some time with her. Do different things with her and alone. I can see your very heart broken. It will get easier. Sherpa is not suffering anymore. You did all you possibly could do. Blessing to you and your beautiful Sarah ❤
Sherpa is telling all the dogs in heaven that you were the most loving, loyal and caring dad that he could ever have. I agree with him 100%. We are all here for you Jamie ❤
Jamie honey, You did the right thing by not having the surgery. Thanks for taking us by the cemetery. I hope you see Larry soon. What can I say? I understand. I've been through this way too often. I've been trying to avoid telling you; but our Ursie died last Friday. She just passed peacefully on the sofa. She is being cremated and they will put her ashes in a satin bag with her name on it. Much love, always, xoxo
We're all here Jamie & we're all listening. We'll support each other together, as a community we'll honour Sherpas memory. His Royal Fluffiness isn't here in physical form, but his memory is going to live on forever
Ive been re-watching your Sherpa videos from years ago. This channel is all about Sherpa, Jamie, family, besties, adventures, occasional Batdog visits, walking on the moor, road trips with big red, small red, chasing treats, sipping coffee, searching for snow, taking a nap in the garden, licking ice cream, moaning over rain and traffic jam, shouting I love you's, and us loving you two back…that's what it's always been, and that's how I remember it. Thank you so so much for sharing your beautiful journey, Sherpa, Jamie. I have a feeling we all will get to see Sherpa again, sometime, somewhere. If I ever run into him in my dream, I'll make sure to welcome him, give him lots of treats, and tell him; "Your dad is looking, waiting for you, Sherpa!" I promise, Jamie.
Jamie, it's OK to be sad and lost for a while. He was your best friend and your partner in crime. Your life was Sherpa. You made sure that he had the best life he could possibly get. It will take time. We are here for you when you need us.
Don't second guess your decision for Sherpa, Jamie. It WAS the right one. He's at the Rainbow Bridge watching, waiting for you. You two ARE fantastic buddy's. He knew you were there for him every step of the way. Stay strong, grieve if you need to, visit the places you and Sherpa went to. Sherp's will always be with you in your life, thoughts and forever in your heart. Please take care and EAT for crying out loud! Thanks for sharing your love for Sherpa with us all. Peace to you both. It will get easier. 😊
Not being able to stand the grief after losing our chihuahua named Ginger, we asked her to send us a new " baby" to love. Within a short time we adopted Holly. Now our grief is tempered by the joy that Holly brings us. Ginger picked exactly what we needed to heal our hearts ❤
Your Ginger proved that our fur babies watch over us and do not want us to suffer. Sherpa will do the same for Jamie, when the time is right Sherpa will send a new fur friend to Jamie. Sherpa will want his beloved Jamie to know joy again.
We just did the same thing. We lost our lab Mazie in March. Same situation as Sherpa. It was quick when it turned. We just adopted Wella last week. Wish we had done it sooner. Jamie will get there.
I did the same when I lost my female cat to cancer in 2020, and my other cat was left alone, when he'd always been with other cats. I could see it affected him. One day I saw one of those tiny stickers that sometimes sit on clothing tags, and it had the number 12. Twelve days later I saw a Facebook group post about a rescued feral cat that needed a lot of time and patience. I adopted him and in a couple of months he was copmfortable in the home and with my old cat. My oldest cat sadly passed away last year and I only have the one now, but he seems just as happy just having his humans. I will adopt again in the future though.
Jamie, what you are doing is amazing. It would be the easiest thing to crawl under Sherpa’s blanket and hide from the world, but in your usual selfless way you are taking us with you on this heartbreaking journey and letting us grieve with you. Thank you Jamie. Stay strong ❤❤❤❤
In a shelter there is a dog who knows how to help you. Because you deserve all the help you need to keep going, we feel your pain and it is also ours. But we are only human: we do not know that kind of total, unconditional love that a dog can give.
When my 18 year old dog died I experienced exactly what you are feeling. My dog had 100% of my time to himself, as he needed care when he got sick, we couldn't go on long walks like we used to. After he passed away I also felt like a door had opened. But it was worth every moment I spent taking care of him until the last day. I spent a night with him lying in my bed, I recorded that moment, but I don't even have the courage to see it. I still miss him a lot after 2 years. Yesterday I was watching an old video from 2 years ago of Sherpa, he was so happy on the beach, so full of life. Every time I see videos of him I also cry, He was so friendly with the humans.❤😢
We know you aren't talking about Sherpa in a bad way. He was your life for the last thirteen years. I know it's hard in your house and you mainly bought it for Sherpa, but you love it too. I hope you decide to keep it. He will always be a part of your heart.
Jamie! Just to let you know that we are here for you and don't feel obligated to load videos to make us content. We all watched Jodie's video yesterday and when you visit her give Key a nice hug on our behalf.
Haven't finished the video but just wanted to thank you Jamie for keeping this channel going. We watch you just as much as Sherpa. We will all still be here ❤ Long Live Sherpy. Still so unreal.
Jamie, Sherpa' footsteps will forever be next to you, and his footprints in your heart! Keep talking to us, we dont want to loose you! We are all mourning with you! 🙏
Yes I sure dear Sherpa and Philly Bear are playing together. My heart was broken when Phil passed 6 months ago and now Sherpa,, so terribly sad but I can see them running free …….X ❤️🇬🇧
We all know you truly loved Sherpa, you did everything possible to give him the best quality of life without hesitating, no matter how many vet visits, hydro, pulling his teeth, you really tried everything humanly possible and in the end you made a selfless decision to do what was best for Sherpa. You were an excellent dad to Sherpa. We are with you ,we cry and miss our Sherpa😢 he will never be forgotten😢😢💝
You don’t need to justify your choice of action. We all know that your number one reason for doing anything for Sherpa was strictly love.
❤ I agree but we all know that Jamie loved his fur baby very much. It's ok to grieve but keep positive. You and your buddy have touched our hearts. We're have lost our fur baby back in December 2022.

ours too-hardest thing we ever did, but with love-he was suffering. Miss him every dat
You did the right thing Jamie. Please no regrets. You'll never know how much pain Sherpa might have been in, dogs being so stoic about t things like that, but your choice freed him and ultimately was selfless.
@@pilgrimpeace7763 I did exactly that to my Barney (Border Collie) back in 2001. I always think about Barney even though I moved to another property afterwards. The pressure was insane I see this in Jamie. It's a difficult situation to be in. But it will get easier for Jamie all he has to do is keep in contact with us through RUclips etc 🐕👍
We have lost our beloved Sherpa but you are still here! Thanks for sharing your continued journey! It means a lot to me!❤🩹❤
Aw thankyou too 💙
🙏💙🥰
Agree, Jamie certainly presents wonderful travel vlogs, he could continue when he feels able too?
Condolences to Jamie
I concur. I watch this channel for Jamie as much as Sherpa.
@@sandyr4656 Thanks Sandy! 🥰❤🙏
Jamie. I hope you read this. You gave Sherpa the best life a dog could ask for, he was cared for, fed well, sheltered, walked everywhere, went anywhere you could take him, got lots of treats, was socialised regularly with humans and dogs, he knew love inside and out because of you. Not a lot of dogs get that much respect, care and love from their owners like Sherpa did. He stayed near you so he could make sure you were ok as much as you did him and if you brought him into your bed that night, you wouldn't have had his last scent on his blanket. It was part of his last gift to you to help you in mourning.
❤😢 so true......
💟🫶🐶
@@Lozza2993 that's so true, Jamie's an amazing guy. The love and bond those 2 had, will never ever be broken ❤️. We love you Jamie and Angel Sherpa ❤️🙏🌈xxx
@@Lozza2993 Well put! ❤️
You were a wonderful daddy to Sherpa! You did everything for him and so much love. I know that all of us do the same with regrets but for sure you should not have any. Don’t apologize for your grief, all of us that have animals do understand. So sorry for your loss and you are in everyone thoughts🙏✨❤️
Sherpa can’t be replaced, but there’s another dog out there that needs you desperately. Please find him/her. It truly helps the healing.
I really an idea recently that the grief we feel in losing a pet is because we now have nowhere to put all the love we felt. And if/when another pet comes into our life, it gives us somewhere to put all that love. I found that quite comforting.
I have to respectfully not agree with you on that. For some people getting another is the healing tonic. And for some it is not. That is just the reality of it.
You made sure he had the best life possible. He knew he was loved.
When Nikki died I got Jade. Jade needed me Just as much
So true.
Everywhere you used to throw him treats, you could throw wild flower seeds instead, in his memory. ❤
That's a great idea!
Wow, what a great idea!
How beautiful is that idea ❤❤❤❤❤
What a wonderful idea!❤❤
WONDERFUL idea!!! ❤️
Jamie, remember just because you can't see him with your eyes, you can always see him with your heart. He is patrolling his garden and watching over you, forever with you ❤
I was trying to say those exact words but didn't know how. Thank you ❤
Thank You for saying that everytime I try to put my feelijngs into words I end up a blubbering mess and he was not even my dog I knew him from online and I can't cope sometimes I watched an old video of Key and Sherpa and Sherpa went for a visit and he came to the door and said let me in or something and I just lost it in tears
😢
DO NOT second guess your decision! What you did for him was a gift~ the boy you loved was already gone. He was in horrible pain, and you with love allowed him to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Your heart break is REAL, and you do not need to explain to anyone. WE LOVE you Jamie... and will always love Sherpa!
The secret is to not hold back the pain. Let the tears flow. Don’t fight it back. We love you, brother!
Jamie those of us who have lost a beloved dog know exactly how you are feeling . You are grieving , just take your time , take comfort that he had the best life and he was LOVED
From the moment you adopt a pet, you become responsible for not only their life, but also their death.
You gave Sherpa the best life possible, but also the kindness of a peaceful painfree death.
Be proud of yourself Jamie, in the same way that we are proud of you!
@@monkey_sox5432 exactly ❤️
Well said!❤
Here here
Yes I told my vet on Trudy’s last visit that I promised to be there at the end at our beginning. I buried her myself but I was much younger then . Waldo will probably be cremated when he passes in a few months to a year or maybe two. This time I added a second dog a little over a year so we can both have a reason to carry on.
Yes, exactly this ❤
You did the right thing, an older dog does not have the resources to recover from a huge operation and then be healthy without vital organs, always on medicines. We will remember him as that strong, energetic, characterful howler in the street. Everybody who met him loved him and he loved them back.
Am in the very same situation personally, but having a life with great memories and love makes the road easier.
JohnDavis-ed5sg, I agree with your sentiment. Being that humans have been blessed with boundless capacities for empathy, reason, and vocalization, we are supposed to be the "voice of reason" for those loved ones that - by hook or crook - cannot speak for themselves. While some viewers wanted Jamie to carry-on with Sherpa, I'm personally glad that, in the end, he considered Sherpa's quality of life.
even if he had the surgery the doctor said there were so many tumors on his liver that they may not be able to get them all is the way I understood it
After a certain stage of infirmity in an old dog, keeping Sherpa alive for longer, unable to control peeing and pooing, would not have been kindness. You did the right thing for him, even though you are hurting badly yourself. Please don't make hasty decisions about your car, your house etc for several months. Allow yourself some stability and calmness after this awful emotional upheaval. Xx
Please know that now that Sherpa has crossed 'The Rainbow Bridge' his body was healed, so he's no longer in pain and he running happy again.
As a person with clairvoyant/medium tendencies you are correct. Whenever a person or a fur babies dies they are still around us. They can hear and see us even in spirit. Sherpa will always be with Jaime no matter where he goes. Jaime will sense when Sherpa is around him. Animals accept death and know when it's time to go. In a way they are better than humans to accept death. Sherpa no longer has the problems he had on this earth he is running around free from pain and discomfort. We will miss Sherpa immensely but I know he will always be with Jaime at his side and it brings me comfort to know this.
What a sweet comment. I burst into tears reading that.
Dear Jami,
Sherpa was telling you he was ready to go. He loved you and wouldn't want you to suffer just like you didn't want him to suffer. I'm glad you know it was the right thing to do. He IS with you. You may not see him yet, but you will, when you least expect it. It was almost a full year before my best friend showed herself to me. I felt such comfort, knowing she was no longer in pain. That is where Sherpa is now. Pain free, running free, patrolling the garden, chasing the birds from the feeders .....and loving you for all wonderful adventures you both went on.
Beautiful!
He knew,he just couldn't tell you,it's so sad
Grief is the most horrendous emotion. The harder we grieve the more we loved. Sherpa was loved all over the world and we are grieving right along with you. ❤
May God Bless you and give you comfort in your loss. I lost my Duke a red and white Husky 6 years ago suddenly and I can still be brought to tears over it I also lost my husband 2 years later I watch a lot of Husky and Malnute videos and I loved Sherper too
You are not alone the Internet loves your dog too. They love your family and will be with you as you navigate through
It's really opened my eyes to how loved he was everywhere 🌎
@@SherpasDayand not only him. We are as smitten with you, Jamie. Our hearts are aking for you. ❤
We love you too, so much. Love and hugs to you from across the pond in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I miss seeing Sherpa's new vlog every day, I'm so glad that you are still making videos and letting us know how you're doing.
Scatter a few of his ashes there or down at the lake. Jamie we watch your channel because we love your relationship with shepra and Sarah. Maybe when you are ready maybe become a puppy walker/ border for guide dogs or help out a local animal as a forster carer for the dogs. Maybe go and see some of those places abroad where you couldn't go with Sherpa and take us along with you.
He sure was!@@SherpasDay
Jamie, you don’t have to justify anything. Sherpa had the best dad that any dog wanted.
I expect this note will get lost in the mix but here goes: Jamie, though you bought your home with Sherpa’s happiness in mind, please know that it was always meant to be his gift to you. Pets are not designed to live as long as human, but just like you felt it in Little Red, his love will always be there with you, watching as you rebuild your life with new daily routines as well as the inevitable crossing of spaces you shared before. It’s all good. 🥰
Very well said ❤ thank you
Wise words!
Jamie, 109k people are listening to you as much and as long as you need to talk. Please take care of yourself, we all love you and Sherpa! ❤❤❤
Remember Jamie, we didn’t watch JUST for Sherpa. We watched for Sherpa AND you. We will always be there for you. Not everyone grieves through the same timeframe. It may take you weeks, months, even longer. And that’s ok. That is so much okay.
As I’ve said, you wanna film just mowing the lawn, you do it and we’ll watch. We’re here for you in this difficult time and grieve with you. Nothing we say can amount to easing the pain but I hope all of our support can continue giving you a safe place to mourn and remember and come to for help.
Everything in its time.
I so very much agree with this. Take time and grieve in your own way. We appreciate hearing from you and will be here to listen.
@sydneymarshall3204 What you posted here is so beautiful and so true. ❤😢
This. All of this. I'd watch Jamie clean the car or the house. ❤❤
Massive hugs Jamie. Every single one of us is right here behind you, for whatever you need. 💜💜
The pain will come in waves, ride it out. It sucks so bad, we know. I’m crying again too for a dog and a guy I have never met. We love you. Jamie.
Amen. Wise words.
Losing a friend is never easy. Giving our friends a comfortable ending is the least we can do. And mourning is just love without a place to go. Be at peace, friend.
Well said Kate!!❤
HEARTFELT ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO’S BEEN THRU’ IT:
*PUT HIS BLANKETS/TOYS IN SELF SEALING BAGS
TO PRESERVE HIS SCENT.
*START A NEW ROUTINE
DOING THINGS THAT BRING YOU JOY.
*CONSIDER GETTING ANOTHER PUP WHEN
YOU ARE READY.
Yes and get a smaller dog They live longer and don’t have joint problems 😢😢Loved Sherpie and he will be missed
@@MdRobin-bv5gv Often dog parents are emotionally tied to specific breeds. I have had three Huskies and would never consider having another breed. Having Sherpa for over 13 years , Jamie understands Malamutes and Huskies so, when he is ready, bringing another one into his life will likely work far better.
When the time is right become a dog daddy again , Sherpa would love to know he's got a brother looking after you, and you're such a wonderful dog owner ❤
@@MdRobin-bv5gvNot necessarily true. I lost a chihuahua at 13, really good years. It took me a couple of weeks then months.
I second the motion of putting things with Sherpa's scent in bags to protect them, so you can smell him whenever you need to and it doesn't fade.
If you're satisfied with Little Red as your own car, keep it.
Please keep Little Red
I agree! You should keep your little red car 🚗 ❤
I agree. Keep little red, if you can manage it. You never get used to it. You will adjust but you won't forget him. He will ALWAYS BE WITH YOU. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Funnily enough....I call my car Little Red now....must be an influence 👍🙏 (even though she's not a Mini...)
Secretariat jockey calls his van big red because everybody called the horse Big Red.
I’m Jewish. For the first week after someone passes we sit Shiva. The first week, we grieve and allow others to be there for us. We are here for you through this.
Hugh Hugh hugs Jamie x
Shalom. 😊
❤
Talking to others about the sadness and shock during the first week is a good idea. Sitting Shiva is a good thing.
What is sitting Shiva? Just curious
Wanted to share this poem. " God saw that he was getting tired, and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him, and whispered , "Come with me". With tear- filled eyes we watched him suffer and fade away. Although we loved him deeply, we could not make him stay. A Golden heart stopped beating, hard - working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best. " This fits Sherpa. It was the poem I chose for my dad when he passed in 2020.
@kathleenabbott1602.
Who wrote this poem ?
Unknown
The memory will never leave. Im 12 years in and I think of her every single day without failure. Love never dies.
So True...💖
It's been two years since losing my Guinea pig ginger snaps and I still miss and think of him everyday ❤
I unexpectedly lost a girl 50 years ago. She was a gem and my baby. I can still move myself to tears missing her.
Amen to that. We had our dog from when I was 7 until I was 22. Lot of the same issues as Sherpa at the end, benign tumors, but tons of them. I think we put off the inevitable for a bit too long, for her sake. That was over 30 years ago, and if I think about her too much, I will tear up.
Dear Sherpa is immortalised in his books and the videos of his adventures. His Christmas story with the Robins was epic and his plushy went into space, got frozen, survived re-entry and landed where you were able to find him.What a hero. 🥰
In honor of Sherpie, go on a trip / adventure that you always wanted to do.
Come to the USA and take a tour of the places that you received pictures and cards from your fans here. I am sure we would all be honored to host you on your adventure
Yes!
Absolutely!
Definitely!😊
What a nice idea. He could do reports on YT 😊😊
What a lovely idea ❤
I lost my 16-year-old companion last year, which was the most heartbreaking experience of my life. He saw me grow from a boy to a man, and I still deeply miss him. I haven't brought myself to get another pet since then because I fear going through that loss again.
Reflecting on this brings back so many emotions. It feels like reliving the pain all over again. But I find comfort in knowing that my buddy, Sherpa, and all the dogs who have crossed the rainbow bridge are happy and watching over us. Their memories will always remain in our hearts.
If you put Sherpa's blanket in a large ziplock bag, his smell will stay. Happy to see the healing process starting. You're in our prayers.
i really hope he decides to bag it up! that sherpie scent needs to stay on this planet permanently ❤️
Sherpa wouldn't want you to be sad, and he will always be with you. ❤❤
Yea thats very true 😊
Sherpa knows you did everything in your power to make him feel better! The UNCONDITIONAL LOVE & BOND YOU SHARED WILL LAST A LIFETIME JAMIE!! HE WILL ALWAYS BE RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE! HE'S IN THE BACK OF THE MINI LISTENING TO YOU RIGHT NOW! HE IS ALSO MOURNING LOSING YOU, JAMIE!💯👆🐾🐕🦺🚘💞🌈💔🕊@SherpasDay
Sherpa will not leave you. Never. You'll always feel him near you, until you depart this world and meet him again.
Totally agree I lost my lovely cat nearly 4 years ago but I feel her love still now the way she welcomed me home from work and the way she would lie by my side at night I will never forget her.
agree lost my 2 almost 3 years apart and I still 'feel' them. 11/18/20 and 11/3/23.
Energy never dies, it only transforms. He'll Always Be With You ❤️ talk to him, he's there & keep an eye out for signs from him, they'll be there. He's your Guardian Angel now... Be at Peace, Jamie.
Maybe you should have buried him in the garden. I know a lady has 8 dogs buried in her garden.
It's the little things that are hard. The walks alone - the empty water bowl - the quiet. It's okay to do whatever you can to comfort yourself. I so very much understand the weird freedom feeling - suddenly so much you can do but you really don't feel like doing much at all. You're not alone, you won't be alone, we won't let you be alone. 💗
Absolutely, the silence is the worst. But I'm sure, after mourning, Jamie will be fine, and Sherpy will always be with him.
Don’t regret - he loved you. You were his everything, Jaime ❤
The walking alone is the hardest thing I've found. The neighbours still say it's odd seeing me without the dog. Knowing exactly how you're feeling.
Maybe you could help a shelter dog? Some people are just supposed to have dogs, and you are probably one of them. When you give yourself permission to have another fur baby, it will have been sent by your other dog who passed. We’re not supposed to walk alone 🌹
What about doing dog walking for owners who need help with that for a while? You would have purpose and doing something you enjoy and are good with and helping the animal too. Just something that popped into my head. 👌🏻🫶🏻👍🏻🤔🙂
It's been 5 years since my dog passed, and I still cannot go for a hike or lengthy walk......
@@janetgorman3690 🥲
Jamie-- what makes you think Sherpa isn’t with you? Just because you might not be able to see him-doesn’t mean that LOVE doesn’t cross all barriers! Talk to him and know his love and your love crosses all barriers!
Yes, exactly! I have been LOOKING for Sherpa in this vid - seeing if I could SEE movement 'in the air", or footprint impacts on the earth/ grass. I am CERTAIN Sherpy is there. He would SO WANT Jamie to acknowledge him, speak to him, try to feel his energy (a kind of fuzzy/ itchy/ buzzing, with warmth), and try to pet him.
The trick to this is to remember his size relative to the surroundings - what was the height of the tops of his ears, his head, his back, the front and ends of his body, where is heart would be, etc. When you touch/ connect with those parts, you will FEEL it.
Then, ask Sherpa (or your dog) to come and sit right close to you, directly in front of you, and raise your hand higher than where his head would be, and slowly bring your hand down, feeling for his body energy. I ask for tingles and sparkly white/ silver light, when I connect with my guy's form. (I don't seem him clearly, just "vibrations in the air", a flash of black, vibrations of movement as he walks by, etc.)
I still offer him first dibs on sampling my food (which I NEVER did - off my own plate, IRL), and I can usually see/ FEEL something.
Jamie & Sherpa went ghost-hunting in haunted places, so he shouldn't be scared. And, connecting with your beloved pet on the other side of the veil, feels SO good. I also ask my guy to give me his scent - it used to happen a lot, but less frequently now. It is a REAL treasure when you smell it.
Also, even though my guy NEVER slept on my bed, after he passed, he began to sleep ON me - I can STILL feel the covers touching my body more where he is, and the warmth of his very slight soul-body weight. He is so warm, that I've even had to kick him off in the heat of the summer!
BRENT ATWATER, animal/ pet psychic & medium, is gifted in seeing and connecting with - AND helping US to connect with, (our) beloved pets after they've passed.
** Always do a spiritual protection (should have said this first) - you only want your pet to come - no trouble-makers. Use the Christ light around you, or other.
Gosh I hope that Jamie - or someone close to him, reads this and passes the info on.
Cheers!
Someone once described death as simply stepping into another room. I like to think Sherpa is still in the house that you shared with your Best Buddy. I swear after my Rambo left I could still feel and hear him jumping off the couch in the living room. As long as you keep him in your thoughts and heart he will always be with you. God Bless!!
Hi Jamie. Please don't regret not having Sherpa on your bed. He may have tried to get off the bed during the night and fallen off. Then he would have definitely been in big trouble. You gave Sherpa the BEST life any dog could ask for. Thank you for allowing us to grieve with you. Sending Love to you from British Columbia, Canada. ❤❤❤
If it's helping you Jamie then keep on talking, we will always listen. It was an honour to be able to share Sherpas life , thank you and although it's heartbreaking it's comforting to be able to share his passing with you.
Hes still behind you, he always will be
😊
You did everything right
Scherpa lives in and with you
Because Jamie shared Sherpa with all of us he lives within us all.
Jamie your heart is too full of love to not share with another fur baby eventually ❤❤❤
My thoughts exactly ❤
Jamie you let Sherpa pass with dignity, he’s poor body was failing ~ Sherpa would NOT have liked living like that .
You gave him so many wonderful travels, and wanders by the moors …… so much I can’t count.
He lived a very loved, happy life ~ never forget that . HUGS
@@jenniferwillcox beautifully said
@@perrieguilfoyle4390 aww thank you , it comes from the heart. ♥️
@@jenniferwillcox no worries
You were 100% right in putting his quality of life over quantity. It is a testament to your love for him that you broke your own heart to ease his pain. As to not lifting him on your bed, unless you have a crystal ball, there is no way you knew that would be his last night with you. Grief is funny though, it will create regrets and what ifs, out of nowhere. I'm so glad you are sharing your grief with us. We are honored. Holding it in is very destructive. Sending hugs across the pond.
Well said.
You said every heartfelt thing I was trying to compile for my message to Jamie. Well done!! Very insightful, along with a whole lotta love...Thank you!
So very true. Having a dog or cat who is getting on in years and showing your love for them is making the decision that is right for your best friend. There comes a time when you look into their eyes and they are telling you it’s time for their next adventure and that he/she will be waiting for you. You did a great loving service for 😢Lord Sherpie. Never doubt that. Take care, JoAnne
Don't get 'down' on the house Jamie. You bought it for Sherpa AND yourself. Sherpa loved it, and you do too. In time, be it 6 months, a year, or however long, a new pup will love it too. Imagine the joy it will bring to another. Sherpa would 100% approve I'm sure. Meantime do some small projects to enhance your garden and keep yourself, and us!, entertained. A hut, a raised bed, a veggie patch, a wildlife pond. It will all come together in its own time.
I still agree with this..l wanted to move when l lost my 20 years old cat..just give yourself time Jamie,you are grieving,what you are feeling and going through is normal,so is crying,it’s all part of it. I tear up listening to you because I’ve been there as has everyone else who sends you messages. Please take care of yourself..try to eat something,sleep and make a land first your beautiful garden. A huge hug to you Jamie.
I nursed my sheltie Madl through the last year of her life (age 13)--special homemade menu, carrying her up and down stairs, putting up gates to stop her from falling down stairs, taking her out at 3:00 in the morning to do her business. I worried that I had kept her with me too long, but our vet said, no, Madl had a great summer. When it turned bad, Madl let me know it was her time to go and I know we made the right decision for our little girl. She always slept on my bed and her soft weight beside me is what I missed the most. I know it's not easy to say goodbye, but you did everything you could and more for your precious Sherpa. Take care, Jamie.
It's funny the things you do for your pets. In my case, it was my cat that I nursed the last year of his life. It seemed a lot at the time, and some people may even say too much, but I would do it all over again. You just do. I still miss Cody and his fluffy tummy 😢.
Bless you, I also cared for my dear baby and carried her up and down the stairs at odd hours, the amount of love I felt is proportional to the amount of sorrow. Her life and her passing have been a breaking point in my life. We’re so lucky to have loved so much ❤
@@cathyburke5547 You did what your heart desired to do. That’s called…..love. We love our little family members, and do what we can. I lost my old boy, Sherman, in February. He was 15. I will always miss him. I was called upon about a puppy, and whilst I wasn’t ready, I took him in. I honestly believe that Sherman sent me Sheriff. ❤
You allowed him to go with his dignity you've done the perfect thing for him
Jamie, I’m so sorry about Sherpa. I don’t know if you’ll read this but if you do, you may want to consider putting Sherpa’s blanket in a bag to preserve his smell. I’m so sorry for the pain you’re having to live through, I lost my boy a year and a half ago and I’m still heart sick over him. You were amazing to Sherpa, you were his whole world.
Sherpa will not be happy if you're sad, my friend. Don't forget that. He'll forever stay in our hearts and he's watching over you.
I lost my Auggie girl two years ago. I suffered for ten days, then I went and found a rescue dog who needed me. We rescued each other ❤️ God bless Sherpa he was such a a good friend
I like that. I hope Jaime will adopt again soon. It helps so much to have another animal to spoil and love on! Doesn't give us a chance to dwell but rather to mourn surrounded by love. Don't mourn alone!
Whenever I lost one of my rescue dogs (I've had ten in total, usually in pairs) I too would look for another rescue dog to save me. My last dog took three months to arrive at my home from Bulgaria, but she was well worth the wait. Now she is gone and because of my poor health, I can't have another dog, and it is killing me.
54 years with dogs, and now it is 17 months and counting without one. I know which I preferred.
R.I.P. Sherpa
True. Pounds and rescues are overflowing with those needing a second chance
I lost my cat Beady four years ago during the peak of COVID, it was heartbreaking to see him go, especially during a difficult time. Eventually I went and got another cat to keep me company, because I couldn't deal with being on my own.
@@RobRoy-fo2it. I don’t want to tell you what to do but, have you considered a kitten? They can be very loving and pretty self sufficient….
I'm tearing up at the image of Sherpa's garden with his bowl waiting for him, and the familiar smell of his blanket. Bless you, Jaime, for sharing your grief with us. You watched over him so lovingly all this life. Sherpa's spirit is watching over you. 💞
You will never replace Sherpa. Trust me, He is going to send/put some fur friend in your path. He is going to share his human so you aren’t lonely. It’s happened to me.❤❤❤
It has happened to me too. When the time is right our beloved fur babies send us a new fur friend who needs our love.
That is true ❤
Every time you go for a walk you may think you are on your own. But Sherpa is walking beside you each time, you just can't see him. ❤❤❤
Aw 💙
That’s just a fantasy…but sure!
So true
@@FattyPok Please don’t be a heartless jerk!
We all miss him Jamie. But im glad you are continuing to post. Hes always with you, you just cant see him.
Thankyou 💙
Correct
💯 He's always with you and you will sense him ❤️
Yes, this.
You don't have to say sorry for anything. We all miss him. Do what's best for you..❤
Every dog owner who loved his dog like you do goes through the same grief … it hurts so much.. seeing shadows of your dog, smell the dog and just so intensely missing your best friend.
Give yourself time ..
The joy my heart feels as I encounter tributes to you, 😢Jamie, and Sherpa validates the deep love in this amazing global family, the community seeded by you, Jamie generously sharing Sherpa's adventures with us all. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Jamie, I will never leave this channel. Even with Sherpa gone, I will always be here to listen to you! We all miss Sherpa. But, we love you too!
Always here for you ❤️
Only a brief comment:
Taking Sherpa to the Vet one last time, is bittersweet.
He was always ready with what ever you did with him.
Taking him to the Vet, again, was like any other time.
This time, he closed his eyes and took his last earthly breath.
The last thing he saw was you & felt his friend's touch.
Be Proud and Satisfied ~ you did right by him and so much more!
Healing takes a long time. We never forget. He is alive in our memories!!
The Very Best to You, Mr. Jamie ...
Today is the first day that I woke up not only with grief, but also with a feeling of great happiness that Sherpa lived. He gave me, my mother and so many people so much joy and light in life. Thank you Sherpa, thank you Jaime. And thanks for getting in touch.
whenever i was sad watching videos of sherpa would always make me feel so much better he made me laugh and smile so much im even smiling now thinking about him
@@perrieguilfoyle4390 Jaime and Sherpa created a happy and sweet world for us, that provided refuge in a darkest moments.
He really did bring us so much comfort, especially for those of us who have lost their best friends. I hope he finally gets to meet them.
@@VeneficaDelirium I hope Heaven is a place where you can never be separated from those you love. Especially with dogs. And Batdogs.
@@georgjackiewicz1879 they certainly did
Jamie, when you're ready, take all the treats Sherpa had and share them with dogs in shelters in his name and also with Nook and K'eyush . Keep well and remember to eat as Sherpa will be watching you as he plays with Phil. ❤
Yes…

I just leave this here because it helped me alot when a friend told me this: The reason why dogs are only here for us for such a short time of our lives is, that they are born with such pure souls, with unconditional love and such pure and loving hearts, that they earn their wings for going to heaven so fast. I know that one day their will be all my dogs and cats greeting me when it is time to go.
And just be assured that there is a little Dachshund Girl called "Efi" who will show him around and keep him company. May he rest in peace, he was a good boy!
Love from Germany!
You give a piece of yourself away out of love, that piece is filled with your dogs love! Your whole life, your dog will be alive in that mutually exchanged piece of love. You live for two now, so if you feel the urge to pee on a tree, Do it for the both of you. If you then while peeing want to lift up one leg, don't! ;)
Remember u gave Sherpa the best life . He was loved and he loved u
No one should give you any backlash. As an animal owner who has been through the same thing multiple times, I completely understand what you are saying. Remember, there is no time limit on grief.
@@stephaniemajeski6857 thank you for saying that.
There is also no "right" way to grieve, a lot of people forget that.
@@robindeath7568 exactly.
Do not hesitate to cry. Do not feel embarrassed or "un-manly." You just lost your Best Friend; your companion; your family. Let out your grief, your pain, your RAGE. After I lost my precious Riley last year I did not want to be in our home. I would go anywhere to avoid having to be there without him. I would walk through malls or on the boardwalk and the tears would race down my face and I did not give a damn if someone saw me. And when i was home every now and then I would just SCREAM. I felt such pain and anger and loneliness and sorrow. I had to release it. Sherpa was ill but he declined very quickly. Like you said, on that day you were not expecting to lose him. His passing was very quick. It was a SHOCK. And now walking around the home you bought for him and shared with him and being all alone among his things is agony. You can smell him and sense him and feel him. One day that will actually be a comfort. But right now that can add to the pain. We are all different but being totally alone is not a very healthy thing when grieving. No matter how many people out here love Sherpa no one loves him like you do. And no one else can fully understand just what you have lost because your connection to him was just between you and him. But I hope you do not give up on some of your routines. It will be good to start new ones but don't give up on all the things you did with your BLESSING. That is your special place; your special thing that you shared with Sherpa. Hold on to it. It will bring you comfort.
mr daddy you have nothing to regret sherp's couldn't had have a better dad then the one he got
Hey buddy, you'll always be his solicitor 😊
No truer words stated Chris , Sherpa REALLY COULD NOT HAVE HAD A BETTER DAD ❤
@@jenniferwillcox thank you.
Amen 🙏 well said
@@sandyr4656 thank you.
Sherpa would not want you to allow that to haunt you, he loved you and you know he did. He was such a wonderful dog. You absolutely did the right thing. One day at a time, it takes one day at time, Jaimie. Sherpa is not in pain and is patrolling that garden, even though you cannot see him
A new puppy is a chance to meet another unique friend and share that special bond all over again. It's not betrayal, but a new beginning. When I lost a dog I couldn't fathom getting another but it honestly saved me. Our souls are not complete without a dog in our lives ❤
Agree with everything you say. 👍
exactly! I'm sure Sherpa would want Jamie to give another doggo a home and the same love that he had!
I agree! When I lost the best dog I've ever had I was so devastated
I could not imagine having another dog anytime soon. I kept coming home from work to a empty home & no wagging tail greeting. After 2 weeks of feeling empty & alone I got a dog. It was the best decision for me & my happy came back full of love for the new pup. Not a replacement, just different but wonderful . Take care of yourself Jamie
You will be okay, I promise ❤
❤❤❤@taaffmaster Jamie when you r ready there is a furbabywaiting for forever home with someone like you to love them so hang in there it does get better
ABSOLUTELY . AMEN❤
❤Jamie, in response to Sherpa patrolling. Sherpa’s always in front of you to guide your path, always behind, to never lose sight of you, and sits by your side until the day you’re together again. ❤️🌈
OMG. That was the most beautiful comment I've read in a while.
And here go the waterworks again. 😭
Reinventing the daily routine is the hardest part. But he's still with you. Let him haunt, patrol, and look after you. We love you boys.
💝💝💝💝💝💝
Jamie, one thing I noticed with my dogs and cat crossing, is that their visits in spirit form are subtle. You might hear little sounds, the clink of a collar, the sound of toenails on the floor. You might catch a glimpse of them out of the corner of your eye. It's not dead on. I believe Sherpa is with you, he's still patrolling the yard, and he's watching over you. He's crossed over but he is with you too. Their love for us never ends, as ours never ends for them. The laying down of the physical body doesn't change that. We are all with you too!
Yeah sometimes and sometimes they come to us in our dreams well mine does on occasion it’s usually when I’m worried about something or overstressed. Hope this makes sense.
Sherpa had the best life in his new house, he was in charge of the garden, any work Jamie did he was always making sure he was doing a good job. Sherpa will never be far away he is in our memories and in our hearts, Sherpa will always be loved and missed terribly ❤
Jamie, Sherpa was in pain he couldn't walk.,he is in Heaven now,you don't need to second guess your choices, you did what you should have done for the dog that you loved ,and will love for the rest of your life he will always be with you....
Yes. Imagine buying a house just for the pup. Best Dad ever in my opinion.
That's true of so many pet parents, my sister got a house with yard, at Geneva, just so her rescue cat could go outside.
💯‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️💘💘💘💘💘💘
Jamie, you are not walking alone, Sherpa is still with you in spirit, and always will be.
You don't really need anyone to say it but...
Sherpa wouldn't want you to limit your life without him.
You gave him the best life possible and thst's what he'd want for you. ❤❤❤
Yes Sherpa wants you to be happy smile a bit each day, heal a little each and every day ❤
Sherpa is with you no matter where you are he is at peace and you did the right thing you stopped his pain it will take time to heal but it will get better day by day he will always be in your thoughts Jamie nothing will take that away i no it is hard but you will get there keep strong.xx❤
We are still here for you Jamie, right by your side. We are not going anywhere. Keep posting. Let us all know how you're feeling. It takes time to heal. Give yourself all the time you need.
Jamie you have a daughter. Spends some time with her. Do different things with her and alone. I can see your very heart broken. It will get easier. Sherpa is not suffering anymore. You did all you possibly could do. Blessing to you and your beautiful Sarah ❤
Sherpa is telling all the dogs in heaven that you were the most loving, loyal and caring dad that he could ever have. I agree with him 100%. We are all here for you Jamie ❤
@@Liverpool5084 that made me smile so much, so sweet and thats most likely exactly what he is saying 😻💙💙💙
Jamie honey,
You did the right thing by not having the surgery.
Thanks for taking us by the cemetery. I hope you see Larry soon.
What can I say? I understand. I've been through this way too often.
I've been trying to avoid telling you; but our Ursie died last Friday. She just passed peacefully on the sofa. She is being cremated and they will put her ashes in a satin bag with her name on it.
Much love, always, xoxo
We're all here Jamie & we're all listening. We'll support each other together, as a community we'll honour Sherpas memory. His Royal Fluffiness isn't here in physical form, but his memory is going to live on forever
Ive been re-watching your Sherpa videos from years ago. This channel is all about Sherpa, Jamie, family, besties, adventures, occasional Batdog visits, walking on the moor, road trips with big red, small red, chasing treats, sipping coffee, searching for snow, taking a nap in the garden, licking ice cream, moaning over rain and traffic jam, shouting I love you's, and us loving you two back…that's what it's always been, and that's how I remember it. Thank you so so much for sharing your beautiful journey, Sherpa, Jamie. I have a feeling we all will get to see Sherpa again, sometime, somewhere. If I ever run into him in my dream, I'll make sure to welcome him, give him lots of treats, and tell him; "Your dad is looking, waiting for you, Sherpa!" I promise, Jamie.
I have done the same x❤
I think maybe we will see Son of Sherpa eventually ❤
Jamie, it's OK to be sad and lost for a while. He was your best friend and your partner in crime. Your life was Sherpa. You made sure that he had the best life he could possibly get.
It will take time. We are here for you when you need us.
While sherpas body is gone his spirit will always be with you. ❤❤
Don't second guess your decision for Sherpa, Jamie. It WAS the right one. He's at the Rainbow Bridge watching, waiting for you. You two ARE fantastic buddy's. He knew you were there for him every step of the way. Stay strong, grieve if you need to, visit the places you and Sherpa went to. Sherp's will always be with you in your life, thoughts and forever in your heart.
Please take care and EAT for crying out loud! Thanks for sharing your love for Sherpa with us all. Peace to you both. It will get easier. 😊
Hope you're doing OK Jamie. Please take care of yourself.
You too 🙏
I really hope Jamie is looking after himself too , lovely to see him again…..seems strange without dear Sherpa…..x ❤️🇬🇧
Not being able to stand the grief after losing our chihuahua named Ginger, we asked her to send us a new " baby" to love. Within a short time we adopted Holly. Now our grief is tempered by the joy that Holly brings us. Ginger picked exactly what we needed to heal our hearts ❤
Your Ginger proved that our fur babies watch over us and do not want us to suffer.
Sherpa will do the same for Jamie, when the time is right Sherpa will send a new fur friend to Jamie. Sherpa will want his beloved Jamie to know joy again.
We just did the same thing. We lost our lab Mazie in March. Same situation as Sherpa. It was quick when it turned. We just adopted Wella last week. Wish we had done it sooner. Jamie will get there.
I did the same when I lost my female cat to cancer in 2020, and my other cat was left alone, when he'd always been with other cats. I could see it affected him. One day I saw one of those tiny stickers that sometimes sit on clothing tags, and it had the number 12. Twelve days later I saw a Facebook group post about a rescued feral cat that needed a lot of time and patience. I adopted him and in a couple of months he was copmfortable in the home and with my old cat. My oldest cat sadly passed away last year and I only have the one now, but he seems just as happy just having his humans. I will adopt again in the future though.
Jamie, what you are doing is amazing. It would be the easiest thing to crawl under Sherpa’s blanket and hide from the world, but in your usual selfless way you are taking us with you on this heartbreaking journey and letting us grieve with you. Thank you Jamie. Stay strong ❤❤❤❤
Sherpa never left you. He is now your guardian angel dog ❤
In a shelter there is a dog who knows how to help you. Because you deserve all the help you need to keep going, we feel your pain and it is also ours. But we are only human: we do not know that kind of total, unconditional love that a dog can give.
Eventually, after a long time, the happy memories will be more prominent in your mind than the shock and sadness.
Thank you for choosing to share your grief of losing Sherpa with us. He's brought us so much joy over the years. He's loved, always.
The pain of missing your friend is the legacy of love. It’s OK to feel that pain. You absolutely did right by him always
When my 18 year old dog died I experienced exactly what you are feeling. My dog had 100% of my time to himself, as he needed care when he got sick, we couldn't go on long walks like we used to. After he passed away I also felt like a door had opened. But it was worth every moment I spent taking care of him until the last day. I spent a night with him lying in my bed, I recorded that moment, but I don't even have the courage to see it. I still miss him a lot after 2 years. Yesterday I was watching an old video from 2 years ago of Sherpa, he was so happy on the beach, so full of life. Every time I see videos of him I also cry, He was so friendly with the humans.❤😢
We know you aren't talking about Sherpa in a bad way. He was your life for the last thirteen years. I know it's hard in your house and you mainly bought it for Sherpa, but you love it too. I hope you decide to keep it. He will always be a part of your heart.
You may not see him, but he's still with you. He was your angel in life and in his passing, too. He will always be with you. ❤
I totally agree with you ❤ Sherpa is with Jamie in spirit ❤
SHERPA WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU ❤❤❤ REST IN PEACE SHERPA WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU ❤❤❤
You cared for Sherpa until the end, he always came first. I am a 70 year old bloke sat in tears, remembering all my dogs and Sherpa
Keep strong
Jamie! Just to let you know that we are here for you and don't feel obligated to load videos to make us content. We all watched Jodie's video yesterday and when you visit her give Key a nice hug on our behalf.
Thankyou so much 💙
Haven't finished the video but just wanted to thank you Jamie for keeping this channel going. We watch you just as much as Sherpa. We will all still be here ❤ Long Live Sherpy. Still so unreal.
Thankyou so much too 💙🙏
Jamie, Sherpa' footsteps will forever be next to you, and his footprints in your heart! Keep talking to us, we dont want to loose you! We are all mourning with you! 🙏
Sherpa wouldn't want you to be unhappy, he is with Phil now, who will look after him.❤
Yes I sure dear Sherpa and Philly Bear are playing together. My heart was broken when Phil passed 6 months ago and now Sherpa,, so terribly sad but I can see them running free …….X ❤️🇬🇧
We all know you truly loved Sherpa, you did everything possible to give him the best quality of life without hesitating, no matter how many vet visits, hydro, pulling his teeth, you really tried everything humanly possible and in the end you made a selfless decision to do what was best for Sherpa. You were an excellent dad to Sherpa. We are with you ,we cry and miss our Sherpa😢 he will never be forgotten😢😢💝
I cry all the way through these videos but still look forward to them. Is that weird?
No so do I. I’m so worried about Jamie and miss Sherpa so much
Aw so sorry.. they'll get happier 😊
No i do the same
No, not weird, think many of us are doing it😢
Not at all..... I'm crying now. I'm so pleased Jaime is taking us through his grief and still posting though..... I've been so worried about him. 🐾🐾💔
Just because you can't see him does not mean Sherpa is not with you. He will be with you until he knows you no longer need him to be.
