    I'm not going to admit in this comment if I teared up knowing Maddie is no longer traveling in her van. HOWEVER, Seeing Europe From Maddie Taylor's Perspective Is Going To Be Nothing Short Of A Series Of Spectacular Stories. Grab a bag of popcorn and get comfortable because the SWEETER side of Europe is coming to our screens shortly.

    Definite tears through this video. Seeing you reunite with Eliza was so great. I understand the emotion - one of my current dogs was shipped up to me (in Toronto) from Ecuador from my nephew, 8 years ago. She had 3 flights over 24 hours and I was panicking the whole time. She got out of her crate in Toronto in absolute FREEZING and snowy weather and NEVER missed a step. She has absolutely loved being up here. I am so excited for the 3 of you and will enjoy watching this next phase of your lives. Best wishes for you all.

    Very few people can relate to what you’re going through right now. Vacationing in another country is one thing, upending your life and moving to another country is a whole different animal. Leaving my small town in Colorado and moving to Barcelona, and then eventually Prague, sight unseen, was one of the greatest adventures of my life. I’m back in the states now, but I made lifelong friendships and will never forget those years. Enjoy.
