My husband and I are in our 70’s, our children are grown, and now the cats that we rescue are our children. We have enough money to travel and enjoy a leisurely retirement, but we devote our time and money to our animals now. We could be traveling to beautiful places, taking cruises, and enjoying restaurants, but we’ve given this up to care for homeless animals. This is the first time I’ve given this any thought and I don’t regret doing this. When you love animals and know how much help they need, this is not a sacrifice, it is done out of pure love for the animals.
I’m so glad to hear about someone who thinks like we do. We are in our 70s. So many people say to us that we are wasting our last few years because we are not travelling and enjoying our retirement. They just don’t understand how we enjoy growing our own veges taking care of our dogs and wildlife that is injured or orphaned and also our beautiful grandkids who do not have a dad but do have an amazing Mum who needs the support and love that we can give. I have thought about the benefits older people get by travelling. And I have come to the conclusion that they love the experience of seeing all the different places some think they are expanding their minds. And that’s wonderful I’m glad for them. But for people who give that up to care for animals or family the reward is the incredible love they receive but also they feel. I choose the love.
I am 60 now , and i am taking care for my 2 cats , i have no job and live on my social wellfare payment overhere in Holland wich is just enough to get by , no more , but ..... i don't care , i am happy , i have done all the travelling , cruises , restaurants , shopping ect.ect. i ever wanted to do and do not miss those things at all ( to me all those entertainment things people do to fill there lives seem very "hollow and empty " now ) . The sheer love and joy my 2 cats have brought into my live makes all those other things useless and decedant . Ever person has to live his own life , i know , and i will not jugde people who live that "empty " lifestyle , but i think they are not "complete " 'and are still chasing a dream wich in the end will become a nightmare . Like i said i have been there and did not like what i saw , i have more respect for people who do something usefull in there lives like taking care for animals ect. , they need us to have a good live in this rotten / fucked up society / world we as humans have created .
I remember when I first found Lee on RUclips. He was living in an apartment and he took his dogs out to the park but he left Lily at home because it was very hot out and it wouldn't be good for her. So he told Lily they were going to the Vet. I still laugh 😃. They all had a great time and when they returned and Lee was opening the door, he called out "We're back from the Vet...everyone got a needle, even I got a needle..." I decided that I liked this guy sooo much and I've been following him since.
J Hart That’s hilarious along with being a ‘good one’. That is sooooo funny🤣🤣🤣 Glad that Lee has feelings like that: leaving Lily at home while feeling bad or guilty, while knowing what was best for her😢
I'm a 35 year old woman from the Netherlands with chronic depression, anxiety and autism and I can honestly say that watching this channel is seriously healing for me. It's people like you who are restoring my faith in humanity. The videos of your rescues are so uplifting and moving, I love them. I'm probably gonna spend hours watching them and crying my eyes out ( in a good way ). I don't have a dog myself, but I'm hoping I can afford one eventually. A friend of mine has a dog that I spend a lot of time with and I would love to become a paid dog sitter/walker. Thanks to that dog I'm realizing that spending time with him is easing my fears and calming my mind. I've never felt this before, not during hours of therapy and shrinks. This dog is the best therapist I've ever had. His company is everything to me. I'm so blessed to have him in my life. Also, I realized that doing something with dogs is really what I want out of life, career-wise. Your videos are only making that even bigger. Keep doing your amazing work! You're a great human being.
Prayers things will look and feel better for you🫶🏼 since daughter/son in law aren’t able to have children they now foster puppies,dogs with a wonderful group here in okla. It’s been up lifting for them knowing that giving these precious furrbabies a loving home and out of a cold shelter or helping with strays get off the streets into a warm home until adopter is found will give them unconditional Love..
You can foster for rescues/shelters, would you be open to that? most rescues provide food and care , it’s the same in Ireland. Fostering would help with depression, helping where it’s needed.
@@Alexandra_Hill I would, but unfortunately, I have an old cat, who hates dogs ( and other cats ), so I don't wanna ruin his peaceful retirement by stressing him out. Also, my house isn't very big and I can't foster for the shelter here because I don't have a driver's license or a car. That's a requirement they have for foster parents. But I'm enjoying my friend's dog and my cat also helps with my depression.
@@Roguearagorn I understand, I’m glad you have a cat already and your friend’s dog, my sister’s dog is an amazing dog for making people feel happy, her name is Maisie, we say that there’s no love like Maisie love. I have 5 cats, or rather I’m a human slave to 5 cats…🤣 but they are great for distraction and giving love when needed.
God's Grace is coming and going to be blessing you, and all of us in so many amazing ways that we cannot comprehend today. Just remember...med bed are a blessing, won't hurt, are free and will heal us all completely. And then sweetie girl, you'll be able to start your own rescue❤ money and property won't be an issue..AT ALL, so if that's a dream of yours then dream big. And put down on paper the house, kennels and whatever else you'd like on the property and then wait. You'll understand when it's time to take those plans to our "exchange appointment". Remember that word okay??? Life, in the VERY VERY near future is going to change into our heaven on Earth...I PROMISE!!!😉🌹❤️ Best wishes to you sweetie girl 💜 I can already see you ROCKIN' it!!!! Much love and light!!! ❤❤
We started an animal rehabilitation centre more than twenty years ago, taking in abused, starved and neglected animals. We feel every living being deserves a life, so we did not discriminate. We took cats, dogs, iguanas, snakes, tortoises, birds, took them for veterinary treatment, where needed, without knowing how we were going to pay, to keep them alive, and rehabilitate those, that could go back into the wild. We have had no funding, and just somehow always manage to feed, house and medically treat those that need it, and twenty years later, we are still doing what these animals, need us to do. I hope we can carry on, and continue giving these precious animals the chance to live their best lives.
This is the best video .... for me....today. I live in a 26' class C RV in central Florida. When I originally got it 6 years ago, I had planned on traveling the US. Things change. Purposes change. No shame in that. Many people ask me why I'm not traveling. It's not fear. It's not money....well, maybe money does involve in it. It's about my purpose. For years, even before I moved into my RV, I made items for charity....baby blankets for the poor, lap afghans for the memory care facility that my mom was at, hats for the homeless, shawls for nursing homes. You can't knit and crochet when you need to drive around and keep setting up or tearing down at the campsites. Now I'm more settled, finally at age 71 in an over 55 RV and Mobile home park. Every time I doubt my purpose, I receive more yarn from people that I don't even know for the "job". I knit hats for homeless shelter in Mount Airy, NC, and Soldiers and Sailors home in Erie, PA. I make hats for chemo patients. It doesn't stop there. I knit or crochet at least 12 hours a day. No regrets. It's my purpose. Great video. Keep up the good fight. Prayers for you, your babies and your helpers.
You are inspirational knitting and crocheing for all these causes. I just realized that when I do something like your doing, I feel very fullfilled. Thank you for sharing. Lee, if you read this please do not take my next comment the wrong way. You ARE doing amazing work....but......putting your body often through the grief process and such sadness when one of your pets die, is not advisable. Can you love them and at the same time stay detatched? Yes, take care of them, but don't be so deeply invested as to torture yourself with pain and grief. I know they bring you joy and love and happiness also. But there is an imbalance here.
Diane you are amazing ❤! Over the last year I've crocheted many kitty beds. I use a pool float tube as a frame. It is my dream to provide shelters with the beds. Work in progress ❤❤❤
Bless you ❤🙏🥰 Such gifts of love and intention you create. It is a wonderful wonderful thing, and sends ripple after ripple of goodness out into the world. 🙏🙏🥰🥰💞💞
The fact that you can let all these dogs run free and yet they still obey and follow you just shows the level of respect and loyalty they have for you. You are the Pied Piper of dogs!💖
I envy you so much Lee,to be able to look after and love so many beautiful animals is my vision of heaven, blessings from England Lee and keep up the fantastic work you do.
I am watching one of Lee’s vids and unsure of how recently it was posted. He had recently lost I believe 2 of his crew. I wanted to say we are here for you when you are celebrating AND when it is so painful. You deserve that xo from us and I hope talking out loud will always help you !!
Lee I have the same fear like you. It is so greatfull of what you do. You have a very sensitive feeling toward the animals and for others. I don't know anybody with such a sensitive soul. You cry when ever one of your animals leave this world. I have a lot of respect for to show your emotions so much and open. That makes you very special to think about others. I can't say how many times I watch your stories with your stories when you help and save them. I wish you the best life forever. You re a great human being and I have never seen anybody with so much passion. Thank you a million times Lee. Have a wonderful life. ❤
You are describing what is called "Earth School" which includes your spiritual development. People are either afraid to die or afraid to live. Finding out which one you are and then moving forward from there is very helpful. I come from a lineage of people who loved and rescued animals. (I recall ducks in our bathtub as a child, snakes on the TV and a bat my mom hand fed ground beef to save it's life). Your passion for their care comes shining through. Bless you, bless your path and all you do for those you care for.
The exact fear Lee spoke of is what drove me from atheism to agnosticism to a strong faith in God to the face-to-face encounters I’ve had with God and dreams of Heaven. He speaks exactly like me, my words exactly. I think animal people are a “tribe” and we have very similar souls, like the animals, more pure, honest, and love-oriented. God bless Lee, he has a place awaiting in Heaven for sure. 🙏🏼
You are one courageous heart, dear one, living your life with brutal compassion for yourself, the animals and the world. Thank you for letting your light shine. Shine on dude shine on!☀️🌟💫❤
You are a beautiful soul. Of course you hear that often but that one Sinatra story was so powerful for me. I’m sure for others also. It gave me such clarity. I’ve been searching for almost 50 years. That story and your journey touched me deeply. THANK YOU so MUCH 🥰
I am in the same place as you. I wish you much blessings to jump off the unknown and go for it! We all need to find joy in helping others. It's what I believe we are called to do from God.
Btw: if anyone is struggling with an overwhelming fear of death, I would recommend a fella I found online when I was trying to sort out what happened to me. He was an Atheist, and a Neurosurgeon, who had a _documented case of "brain death" while hospitalized - yet saw/experienced things that aren't quite possible_ (within the parameters of modern, scientific 'dogma', [ie: death = finality]). I'd found/watched the hour lecture (just search: "a neurosurgeon's journey into the afterlife") it's very accurate and a decent watch if you're bothered.
We love you too Asher, God Bless you and your beautiful family of dogs. I too love animals and have been helping them since I was young. My mother taught me to love animals and she got that from her father and we now pass it on to our children.
I was 27 years old, when Sinatra died... (Lee said he was 7), 51 today. So counting that Lee, is young man still, only about 31-32. Having change to take care of animals long long time forward. Blessings 🙏❤❤
Oh my. Thank you for your heart-felt philosophy. What a revelation....not the fear of death but, the fear of ',my turn' arriving before a fulfilled purpose.
Mariah, if we are not right with God, if we have not come humbly to Him to repent and ask Him to forgive us for our sins and believe on the one and only atonement and sacrifice for our sins, Jesus Christ, then we should absolutely be afraid of death. Terrified of it, in fact, because hell awaits. John 3:16
Lee, I just found your channel. Your beautiful heart shows through the love you have for the dogs and in this video, for a little glimpse to your journey as well. It is so wonderful that you're living your purpose. Much love brother.
You are an angel upon the earth I want to ty from the bottom of my heart for devoting your life to the Rescue of all furbabies... it's my dream one day...
When we are born, a veil covers us so we don't remember where we come from because it interferes with free will. I've read 1000s of near death experiences. We are here to evolve. This is love. This is spiritual. This is what's important and why we are here. You are teaching so many people. It will ripple on. Reading near death experiences on utube makes me feel grounded.
Sorry, Karan, but that is not true. We have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. The Bible says that the wages of sin is death. And that the heart of man is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to God except through Him. John 3:16
Yes. I get you. I felt that way before moving to Ecuador. I am only working with my fifth street dog here, so far. But I find you and your work very inspiring. 💕
Lee you’re such a beautiful pure soul! You are living your ordained Destiny! You are very wise beyond your years… God continue to bless you greatly and your amazing animals! ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
I’m so glad you realized that this was your purpose. You don’t have to be raised in church to have faith in a higher power, and I believe that you are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing. God Bless you for going forward and having the faith that you will be able to accomplish what you set out to do. All animals are so special, and you do what many of us wish we could do. I love all your animals, and they all are so happy with you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am sitting here with Covid am I was feeling exactly that way. I promised my son that passed away in 2018 that when I feel better I will stop just surviving and I will live fully and fulfill that purpose that I still don’t know what it is. I love all your dogs. I have a German Shepard and I love to see Tony 😍
My son went through exactly a moment like yours when he was about five. A movie was playing on television that had a child who died. My son suddenly started to cry, and asked us about death. He was upset to know children die. It took awhile for him to adjust, but he has followed his passion as a drummer, and now uses his talent in church! You are such a beautiful soul!
I accidentally found your channel. Wow! You are an amazing human being, changing each dog's life to be better, and feel loved. I am almost 70, a widow for 4 years, wit mobility and nerve issues. I had to surrender my dog Mickey that my husband got for me for my 60th Birthday, because I cou.dn't walk him, which he LOVED, or bathe his itchy skin (yeast). He went to a wonderful home, adopted with a brother that could be his twin. I am crying right now because I miss him so. My life changed so much when my husband died suddenly, my kids are busy with their lives, I can't drive far to see them, and I am alone a lot. I wish I had my mobility back so I could help animals like you do. Msy God Bless you to keep going with your wonderful organization! You are a gift to this world!
WOW !!! I get your theory. Reminds me of my Mom. She was always of the same attitude, be thankful for the morning, live a thankful full day and finally thanked her god for a good nights sleep. She never, never had a sad day or complained that I remember and lived a long full life till 100 yrs plus 7 months !!! Always, always laughing. I miss her laughs so much...
Wow you are someone very special .I'm an old lady now but what I would have given to meet a man like you .You have so much love around you never never stop doing what your doing .Love you to bits.
Thank you Lee for sharing your thoughts and insights with us. You inspire me to be a better person. And I truly appreciate your commitment to saving these dogs/animals. You're amazing!! 🐾🕊
Thank you for your unconditional love and passion for helping all living beings, you have such a beautiful heart, love and prayers from Derby CT USA 🇺🇸
This story (TFS) shows the kind heart Lee has. He knew he couldn't take Lily out because of the heat, but didn't want her to feel left out of the fun or to hurt her feelings. So he told a little white lie for her sake. Sometimes things happen that require a little white lie to keep from hurting someone. Lee knew this was one of those times. God bless him and all of his animals. 🙏💔💙💚💜
What a beautiful inspiring story. I remember when you told the story how you truly got started leaving that good paying job but you never shared your experience from childhood to brought you here to where you are. Your so very right about always being tested. I’ve walked through many firing test but I believed in a higher power n I got through each one. You just have to have faith inside yourself to be able to conquer your purpose. I’m happy you shared this as I’m sure you’ve inspired so many. I really believe your absolutely Blessed. Love ya big guy.♥️♥️😊👍👍👍
Thank you for that reflection, Lee. I'm so happy you followed your heart and had the courage to make the change needed to live your passion!! Everyone has benefitted from it!
Hello Lee! And everyone! This is a topic that doesn’t get talked about enough. So thank you for sharing. I lost my grandma at age 5. I remember someone telling me she went to heaven and I would see her again one day. I asked or put together when. And I became OK with dying, which is weird for a child(in my opinion). Since then I have developed my own spiritual thoughts on what happens. I started working in a nursing home at age 15, and felt tremendous peace about the dying process. I am 38 now and continue to have peace with it. I l found my life’s purpose very young and get to live it everyday. So grateful to hear your story and understand how grateful I should be for finding my purpose and getting to live this path. I work with death and dying daily. Lee is right! Live your purpose!!! Especially while you have your health. No regrets.
I'm so glad that dying isn't a fearful thing for you. But if you want to know for CERTAIN that you WILL go to heaven when you die; I can point you in the right direction. Jesus, the Son of God; came to earth with the sole purpose of dying on a cross; to pay the FULL PRICE for the sins of ALL of us; and He wants VERY MUCH for you to know Him; and the ONLY way to know Him is through His Word (The Bible); and by being born-again. We are ALL born sinners; on our way to eternal damnation; but because Jesus purchased our Salvation through His death on the cross; we can be freed from the bondage of our sins/sin nature; and have eternal life in heaven with Him. Just acknowledge to Him that you know you are a sinner; repent for that; and ask Jesus to come into your heart; to forgive you of your sins; to cleanse your heart; and to live in your heart as your personal Savior and Lord; and read His Word every day; pray to Him every day; and follow His Word and NOT man; or your own will; and you will have eternal peace and joy. Jesus loves you with all of His heart, and He wants to know you personally and to see you in heaven when you die. If you die unsaved; you will fear death when it comes; but if you are saved; you will have an even greater peace than you feel you have now. May The Lord draw you to His Self.
Love to you precious Child of God! An older person can show you how beautiful life can be when your love goes full circle; from caregiver to our eternal home with God in a place unimaginably beautiful 🤗
@@bettinabarr9107 Same God. They are all from the Godhead. I think so. Just because we as humans have made up all types of nonsense at the end of the day the vast intelligence that created us all is there. You can believe in God, Jesus Buddah, The Universe but it's all the same power. Compassion and love NOT fear. You sound very angry for some reason Bettina. I hope you're not. God bless whoever you believe in.
I'm a Christian I gave my heart to jesus 40 years ago at 20 you just said how does anyone know that heaven is real well it's not that we KNOW heaven is real it's that is what we believe in faith without faith nobody can be a Christian I love you God bless
I AM A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN AND I HAD TO FEMALES I LOST UNFORTUNATLY AND MY BOTH PARENTS DIED.BUT I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE A FRIEND OF MINE EXPERIENCED HEAVENS BEFORE COMONG BACK IN HER BODY AND SHE IS NO LONGER AFRAID OF DEATH BECAUSE ITS REAL
I was meant to watch you today Lee. We all need to live our life to the best of our ability. I remember when I first left home, my beloved Grandad died and I woke up one morning shaking as I knew I'd never see him again. That's what anxiety does for me. You really inspire me with your videos, keep strong Lee
It's a beautiful story, but I hope anyone considering ditching their jobs to open a sanctuary makes sure they have adequate savings to provide for the animals.. Yes, bless all souls that love animals. But if you don't have the cash to ensure your goals are realized and to maintain your sanctuary, that would be even more devastating. But once again, thank you for saving these beautiful canines
Hey Dawn, thats a very good point to make, and I totally agree...but what if we just see it as 'Leaving the old life to really live' what ever the goal...its a great reminder from Lee, if we need it, and most of us do x
Yes. There is financing everyone must consider. I have over 25 beloved senior animals and birds (all adopted or rescued). I love them all, but I budget my finances around them. Vet appt., horse feed, dog chow, cat litter, bird toys, and chicken coops, you name it, my animals have it. I can't imagine having more than my two dogs.
If that is your passion doors will open, paths will appear...this is Lee's purpose so he is finding success. No one would do what he's doing unless they had major PASSION!!
Thank you for sharing your storie. It is true that we are here on earth for a purpose, and you have chosen to live your life the fullest with your beautiful dog friends, to give them the fullest life they deserve. It is so beautiful. God Bless you for sharing the love around you💖💖
I envy him so much, always surrounded by fabulous dogs of all shapes and sizes and looking after them and giving them the best life. I can only dream of that. What a dear, wonderful man he truly is.
I started my own petsitting/dog walking biz In Arizona 15 yrs ago. I select who I want 2 work with/make all my own choices/hours. Happiest I have ever been. I get 2 snuggle/kiss fuzzy critters all day! Love Lee❤ I was tested on every level,now I'm in a great place.
Inspirational. I used to see challenges as tests but I’ve replace that word with ‘adventure’ ... I’m still learning and growing, but somehow it is much more fun, like opening a gift each day. Perhaps the Universe wants us to have fun and play !!! 🖖 🤗
🙂 I also use the word "adventure". This old lady imagines herself strapping on armour and facing the battles needing to be won.😁 Blessings to Lee, animals, and all fighting the good fight.💪
My older sister said something to me about 30 years ago that stuck with me. You could look at life as either an adventure or a disaster. My husband gave me this thought. It's not what happens in your life, it's how you deal with what happens. One person might turn it into an adventure, and the other person a disater. I went after my dream at 21 years old. I got the dream. I was not entirely happy with the dream. Do not know why till this day. Professional singer on Cruise Ships. We were a duo. Met my husband on the ship. Loved singing, but there was an emptiness. Fears of dying and anxiety.
I always seem to click on your videos the exact day I am meant to. Today is July 12 2022 just 8 days until my 59th birthday. I'm not doing well emotionally or physically. Your words have touched me. I have a lot of thinking to do.
Thank you so much Lee! I needed to hear this at this particular moment 💯 You're an amazing person, truly have a heart of gold. You give so much not only to animals, but give hope, inspiration, comfort and happiness to thousands of us. We love you Lee, thank you for letting us be a part of your life! 🥰🤗🐶🐕🐩❤
You are unique in the world of RUclips. It amazes me every time how your herd of sweet pups who all get on well with each other, though I'm sure there are skirmishes! It's attributed to you and your positive calm and loving energy. Like a modern day Frances of Assisi 🐕 🥰 Love you all
I love this one so much,you open my eyes to so much. I am so lucky to be apart of the Asher house /patreon community it has brought so much to my life. I found you that one person who every day open my eyes to so many wonders of this universe. You lift me up with amazing news, and have brought many tears to my eyes with great sadness. But through it all you have always been honest, good or bad always the truth. So I'm so glad that you have found your purpose and have brought me along for the ride, just fucking amazing thank you, love you!!❤️❤️🥰
Hi Lee, I just found your channel yesterday ! I love dogs so much and I’m so thrilled to see your love and care for so many dogs! I’ve lived in a studio apartment for 9 years and don’t have the opportunity or space to care for a dog which I would love so much! I have friends that have dogs who I care for when they are out of town so that’s where I get the void filled for the love of dogs💕 What you are doing is so amazing and found your purpose which is so important in this life. Bless you for all you do for dogs!
To wake up every day and walk out to that beautiful property with your wonderful dogs and walk to the lake. What an amazing life you have, my friend. 😊
He got me with the story of Tony the overweight German Shepard! I just love that story so much it touched me - yes I have a Shepard and I’m so grateful that he did not leave Tony behind! Thank you so much for all you do!
I’m the kind of a person that knows all the dogs and their names of my neighbourhood and walking with my dog in the forest is the my favourite thing to do💕🇵🇱🇨🇦🐶
Dear Lee, thank you for helping me to know what it was that was missing in my life all this time, I think my time has passed to find my dreams but I could never figure out why I felt like I haven't fulfilled my life. Thank you for helping me to realize that 🙏🏻💖
Dawn, it’s not too late for your dreams. Maybe you can’t fully do what you wanted.. but you can participate, somehow. Want you to feel content, before leaving this earth, knowing even a part of your dreams were fulfilled. Due to medical probs.. I too.. had to change course. So I thought long and hard knowing I couldn’t do what I wanted.. but now.. what would truly make me happy?? It’s small.. but it’s something. And I truly feel happy, blessed, and fulfilled every time this presents itself. You might have to lower your ‘dreams’, but you can still find something to do relating to them, no matter how small, to bring you happiness. Wishing you well and sending positive thoughts & love your way♥️ Good luck!
It's not too late. This is not a cliche'. I let others push me away from my love of dance. I believed I had to be able to learn a dance in a matter of a couple of hours. No. It's not so 😭. I needed to study the movement and that is okay. While in college my instructors didn't teach in one style, like Horton Technique. The one benefit of this technique is muscle memory. I never really mastered that with Modern dance. But, at 52, I am going back to my Jazz dance roots. If I have problems, I'll just slow it down and concentrate on one part at a time. If not, there is always line dancing. 😧😍 Follow your dreams.
Living your purpose is the greatest gift. I grew up in a funeral home family and then worked for hospice for over 30 years. One of the many things I have learned is that it is going to be OK. Life is good and we don't want to waste it. What you are doing is also a gift, so keep doing it. It's going to be great!
You are so on point. This message has come up twice for me. A post I read: Someone said: "You only live once." Someone replied: No, you only die once, you live every day.
What an inspiring reflection of your turning point! I'm humbled and touched by your honesty and so glad you had the courage to follow your destiny. God bless you Lee and entourage. Big hugs.👵🙏💖🐕🐕
Lee I wanted to thank you. I adore you and commend you for being brave enough and strong enough to follow your heart. Watching you grow over the years I can't count the times you've touched my heart through these animals. May God continue to bless you and the pack we all love so much. 😊❤️
I always thought you really had your stuff together : your attitude was always one of love, you never responded to provocation, you bore your poverty like it was the easiest thing. I thought maybe you had decades of therapy and you really worked at it. If that fear of death or fear of missing your life could be bottled, you’d be a millionaire, many times over
This, was one “very heavy vid”...... I’m crying hard..... I’m 65 yrs old - retired Mom of 4 Children & 4 Grandchildren, I’ve rescued many animals ( NOT all dogs & cats ), presently I have 3 doggos & 2 birds. YOU HAVE SAID - EVERYTHING IN MY HEART & MIND!!!!!! **** Hit me hard - cause I NEVER heard it in words..... GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FURRY FAMILY & FUTURE FURRYS!!!!!! FROM CHICAGO 👏❤️👏❤️👏❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
U are very inspiring and i wish U lots of luck n blessings and THANK U SOOO MUCH for LOVING n CARING aLL the fury babies u have. U are their angeLs!!!!!!

I am 60 now , and i am taking care for my 2 cats , i have no job and live on my social wellfare payment overhere in Holland wich is just enough to get by , no more , but ..... i don't care , i am happy , i have done all the travelling , cruises , restaurants , shopping ect.ect. i ever wanted to do and do not miss those things at all ( to me all those entertainment things people do to fill there lives seem very "hollow and empty " now ) . The sheer love and joy my 2 cats have brought into my live makes all those other things useless and decedant . Ever person has to live his own life , i know , and i will not jugde people who live that "empty " lifestyle , but i think they are not "complete " 'and are still chasing a dream wich in the end will become a nightmare . Like i said i have been there and did not like what i saw , i have more respect for people who do something usefull in there lives like taking care for animals ect. , they need us to have a good live in this rotten / fucked up society / world we as humans have created .
God bless you two ! 😇
I remember when I first found Lee on RUclips. He was living in an apartment and he took his dogs out to the park but he left Lily at home because it was very hot out and it wouldn't be good for her. So he told Lily they were going to the Vet. I still laugh 😃. They all had a great time and when they returned and Lee was opening the door, he called out "We're back from the Vet...everyone got a needle, even I got a needle..." I decided that I liked this guy sooo much and I've been following him since.
J Hart That’s hilarious along with being a ‘good one’. That is sooooo funny🤣🤣🤣 Glad that Lee has feelings like that: leaving Lily at home while feeling bad or guilty, while knowing what was best for her😢
How can I track down that video online can you provide the link thank you👍
What a good story. Thanks for sharing. 🥰
What a nice story 🥰
That’s when I started too. What an amazing time we have had
!!
I'm a 35 year old woman from the Netherlands with chronic depression, anxiety and autism and I can honestly say that watching this channel is seriously healing for me. It's people like you who are restoring my faith in humanity.
The videos of your rescues are so uplifting and moving, I love them. I'm probably gonna spend hours watching them and crying my eyes out ( in a good way ).
I don't have a dog myself, but I'm hoping I can afford one eventually. A friend of mine has a dog that I spend a lot of time with and I would love to become a paid dog sitter/walker. Thanks to that dog I'm realizing that spending time with him is easing my fears and calming my mind. I've never felt this before, not during hours of therapy and shrinks. This dog is the best therapist I've ever had. His company is everything to me. I'm so blessed to have him in my life. Also, I realized that doing something with dogs is really what I want out of life, career-wise. Your videos are only making that even bigger. Keep doing your amazing work! You're a great human being.
Prayers things will look and feel better for you🫶🏼
since daughter/son in law aren’t able to have children they now foster puppies,dogs with a wonderful group here in okla. It’s been up lifting for them knowing that giving these precious furrbabies a loving home and out of a cold shelter or helping with strays get off the streets into a warm home until adopter is found will give them unconditional Love..
You can foster for rescues/shelters, would you be open to that? most rescues provide food and care , it’s the same in Ireland. Fostering would help with depression, helping where it’s needed.
@@Alexandra_Hill I would, but unfortunately, I have an old cat, who hates dogs ( and other cats ), so I don't wanna ruin his peaceful retirement by stressing him out. Also, my house isn't very big and I can't foster for the shelter here because I don't have a driver's license or a car. That's a requirement they have for foster parents. But I'm enjoying my friend's dog and my cat also helps with my depression.
@@Roguearagorn I understand, I’m glad you have a cat already and your friend’s dog, my sister’s dog is an amazing dog for making people feel happy, her name is Maisie, we say that there’s no love like Maisie love. I have 5 cats, or rather I’m a human slave to 5 cats…🤣 but they are great for distraction and giving love when needed.
God's Grace is coming and going to be blessing you, and all of us in so many amazing ways that we cannot comprehend today. Just remember...med bed are a blessing, won't hurt, are free and will heal us all completely. And then sweetie girl, you'll be able to start your own rescue❤ money and property won't be an issue..AT ALL, so if that's a dream of yours then dream big. And put down on paper the house, kennels and whatever else you'd like on the property and then wait. You'll understand when it's time to take those plans to our "exchange appointment". Remember that word okay??? Life, in the VERY VERY near future is going to change into our heaven on Earth...I PROMISE!!!😉🌹❤️ Best wishes to you sweetie girl 💜 I can already see you ROCKIN' it!!!! Much love and light!!! ❤❤
Lee what a beautiful soul you are. You are also a teacher of life. Thank you
We started an animal rehabilitation centre more than twenty years ago, taking in abused, starved and neglected animals. We feel every living being deserves a life, so we did not discriminate. We took cats, dogs, iguanas, snakes, tortoises, birds, took them for veterinary treatment, where needed, without knowing how we were going to pay, to keep them alive, and rehabilitate those, that could go back into the wild. We have had no funding, and just somehow always manage to feed, house and medically treat those that need it, and twenty years later, we are still doing what these animals, need us to do. I hope we can carry on, and continue giving these precious animals the chance to live their best lives.
Thank you, Lee, for your wise words. You are pure love and inspiration.
This is the best video .... for me....today. I live in a 26' class C RV in central Florida. When I originally got it 6 years ago, I had planned on traveling the US. Things change. Purposes change. No shame in that. Many people ask me why I'm not traveling. It's not fear. It's not money....well, maybe money does involve in it. It's about my purpose. For years, even before I moved into my RV, I made items for charity....baby blankets for the poor, lap afghans for the memory care facility that my mom was at, hats for the homeless, shawls for nursing homes. You can't knit and crochet when you need to drive around and keep setting up or tearing down at the campsites. Now I'm more settled, finally at age 71 in an over 55 RV and Mobile home park. Every time I doubt my purpose, I receive more yarn from people that I don't even know for the "job". I knit hats for homeless shelter in Mount Airy, NC, and Soldiers and Sailors home in Erie, PA. I make hats for chemo patients. It doesn't stop there. I knit or crochet at least 12 hours a day. No regrets. It's my purpose. Great video. Keep up the good fight. Prayers for you, your babies and your helpers.
You are incredible! Bless you!
You are inspirational knitting and crocheing for all these causes. I just realized that when I do something like your doing, I feel very fullfilled. Thank you for sharing.
Lee, if you read this please do not take my next comment the wrong way. You ARE doing amazing work....but......putting your body often through the grief process and such sadness when one of your pets die, is not advisable. Can you love them and at the same time stay detatched? Yes, take care of them, but don't be so deeply invested as to torture yourself with pain and grief. I know they bring you joy and love and happiness also. But there is an imbalance here.
Diane you are amazing ❤! Over the last year I've crocheted many kitty beds. I use a pool float tube as a frame. It is my dream to provide shelters with the beds. Work in progress ❤❤❤
Bless you ❤🙏🥰 Such gifts of love and intention you create. It is a wonderful wonderful thing, and sends ripple after ripple of goodness out into the world. 🙏🙏🥰🥰💞💞
💐❤🦋🦋🦋
The fact that you can let all these dogs run free and yet they still obey and follow you just shows the level of respect and loyalty they have for you. You are the Pied Piper of dogs!💖

I was just saying that to myself today....Lee IS the Pied Piper of Pups!✌️💗
Absolutely Beautiful!!!!! Lee Asher is Awesome
You have so much LOVE in you so you NEVER die. You may leave the earth but you will NEVER die.
I know what I'm talking about. God bless.
A wonderful human being, wish there were MORE people like you in thus world, God bless you and give you the strength to carry on, 😇🙏👌👍
We love you too Lee. And all the pups.
I envy you so much Lee,to be able to look after and love so many beautiful animals is my vision of heaven, blessings from England Lee and keep up the fantastic work you do.
I am watching one of Lee’s vids and unsure of how recently it was posted. He had recently lost I believe 2 of his crew. I wanted to say we are here for you when you are celebrating AND when it is so painful. You deserve that xo from us and I hope talking out loud will always help you !!
Lee I have the same fear like you. It is so greatfull of what you do. You have a very sensitive feeling toward the animals and for others. I don't know anybody with such a sensitive soul. You cry when ever one of your animals leave this world. I have a lot of respect for to show your emotions so much and open. That makes you very special to think about others. I can't say how many times I watch your stories with your stories when you help and save them. I wish you the best life forever. You re a great human being and I have never seen anybody with so much passion. Thank you a million times Lee. Have a wonderful life. ❤
You are describing what is called "Earth School" which includes your spiritual development. People are either afraid to die or afraid to live. Finding out which one you are and then moving forward from there is very helpful. I come from a lineage of people who loved and rescued animals. (I recall ducks in our bathtub as a child, snakes on the TV and a bat my mom hand fed ground beef to save it's life). Your passion for their care comes shining through. Bless you, bless your path and all you do for those you care for.
❤
😮 Lee ? You and Cece are Soulmates!!❤
You are so devoted to this cause. Every dog that comes near you is blessed.
Because your a wonderful person. Your a hero also to these animals.God Bless you.
The exact fear Lee spoke of is what drove me from atheism to agnosticism to a strong faith in God to the face-to-face encounters I’ve had with God and dreams of Heaven. He speaks exactly like me, my words exactly. I think animal people are a “tribe” and we have very similar souls, like the animals, more pure, honest, and love-oriented. God bless Lee, he has a place awaiting in Heaven for sure. 🙏🏼
You are one courageous heart, dear one, living your life with brutal compassion for yourself, the animals and the world. Thank you for letting your light shine. Shine on dude shine on!☀️🌟💫❤
Beautiful !!! Thankyou 💕💕
what a beautiful mission, and a beautiful man. Thank you for your service to animals and humanity!
Amen Brother!
Your testimony is Amazing and Inspiring ❤
You are a beautiful soul. Of course you hear that often but that one Sinatra story was so powerful for me. I’m sure for others also. It gave me such clarity. I’ve been searching for almost 50 years. That story and your journey touched me deeply. THANK YOU so MUCH 🥰
I am in the same place as you. I wish you much blessings to jump off the unknown and go for it! We all need to find joy in helping others. It's what I believe we are called to do from God.
Btw: if anyone is struggling with an overwhelming fear of death, I would recommend a fella I found online when I was trying to sort out what happened to me. He was an Atheist, and a Neurosurgeon, who had a _documented case of "brain death" while hospitalized - yet saw/experienced things that aren't quite possible_ (within the parameters of modern, scientific 'dogma', [ie: death = finality]). I'd found/watched the hour lecture (just search: "a neurosurgeon's journey into the afterlife") it's very accurate and a decent watch if you're bothered.
We love you too Asher, God Bless you and your beautiful family of dogs. I too love animals and have been helping them since I was young. My mother taught me to love animals and she got that from her father and we now pass it on to our children.
I was 27 years old, when Sinatra died... (Lee said he was 7), 51 today. So counting that Lee, is young man still, only about 31-32. Having change to take care of animals long long time forward. Blessings 🙏❤❤
This is your best video ever. It is the most thoughtful. Not matter how much we as viewers love and support your work.
Well said as always! Afraid of not really living...profound and true. You're on what Joseph Campbell called the hero's journey.
I see your videos and feel I am seeing what heaven must be like. Thank you for being such a good person, you give so much love.
I cried when Joseph Campbell died. I had learned so much from his books. “Follow your bliss”. JC (Joseph Campbell)
You nailed it perfectly.
"The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are." ~Joe Campbell
Oh my. Thank you for your heart-felt philosophy. What a revelation....not the fear of death but, the fear of ',my turn' arriving before a fulfilled purpose.
Mariah, if we are not right with God, if we have not come humbly to Him to repent and ask Him to forgive us for our sins and believe on the one and only atonement and sacrifice for our sins, Jesus Christ, then we should absolutely be afraid of death. Terrified of it, in fact, because hell awaits. John 3:16
Lee, I just found your channel. Your beautiful heart shows through the love you have for the dogs and in this video, for a little glimpse to your journey as well. It is so wonderful that you're living your purpose. Much love brother.
🤲❤
You are an angel upon the earth I want to ty from the bottom of my heart for devoting your life to the Rescue of all furbabies... it's my dream one day...
Yes
When we are born, a veil covers us so we don't remember where we come from because it interferes with free will. I've read 1000s of near death experiences. We are here to evolve. This is love. This is spiritual. This is what's important and why we are here. You are teaching so many people. It will ripple on. Reading near death experiences on utube makes me feel grounded.
Sorry, Karan, but that is not true. We have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. The Bible says that the wages of sin is death. And that the heart of man is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to God except through Him. John 3:16
Yes. I get you. I felt that way before moving to Ecuador. I am only working with my fifth street dog here, so far. But I find you and your work very inspiring. 💕
Ecuador! Will look up the street dog rehab page , etc.
Sending you Good wishes and thoughts.
Lee you’re such a beautiful pure soul!
You are living your ordained Destiny!
You are very wise beyond your years…
God continue to bless you greatly and your amazing animals! ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
You are one of the kindest person I know. You have so much compassion for your animals. God has blessed you. Thank you for helping all these animals!!
I’m so glad you realized that this was your purpose. You don’t have to be raised in church to have faith in a higher power, and I believe that you are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing. God Bless you for going forward and having the faith that you will be able to accomplish what you set out to do. All animals are so special, and you do what many of us wish we could do. I love all your animals, and they all are so happy with you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Heaven proves itself by how you feel when they visit. You can actually feel their presence. This is not the end.
I am sitting here with Covid am I was feeling exactly that way. I promised my son that passed away in 2018 that when I feel better I will stop just surviving and I will live fully and fulfill that purpose that I still don’t know what it is. I love all your dogs. I have a German Shepard and I love to see Tony 😍
God bless you Lee & your helpers
You certainly followed your
Dream saving these animals !
Great video !
Thanks for sharing !
My son went through exactly a moment like yours when he was about five. A movie was playing on television that had a child who died. My son suddenly started to cry, and asked us about death. He was upset to know children die. It took awhile for him to adjust, but he has followed his passion as a drummer, and now uses his talent in church! You are such a beautiful soul!
Praise God for your son's gift of music. What a blessing for him to find his calling at a young age. 🙏 ⛪️💞
I accidentally found your channel. Wow! You are an amazing human being, changing each dog's life to be better, and feel loved. I am almost 70, a widow for 4 years, wit mobility and nerve issues. I had to surrender my dog Mickey that my husband got for me for my 60th Birthday, because I cou.dn't walk him, which he LOVED, or bathe his itchy skin (yeast). He went to a wonderful home, adopted with a brother that could be his twin. I am crying right now because I miss him so. My life changed so much when my husband died suddenly, my kids are busy with their lives, I can't drive far to see them, and I am alone a lot. I wish I had my mobility back so I could help animals like you do. Msy God Bless you to keep going with your wonderful organization! You are a gift to this world!
You are a TOTAL inspiration Lee. I look every day for your videos.
Thank you for your story, for being courageous in the telling 🤗
WOW !!! I get your theory. Reminds me of my Mom. She was always of the same attitude, be thankful for the morning, live a thankful full day and finally thanked her god for a good nights sleep. She never, never had a sad day or complained that I remember and lived a long full life till 100 yrs plus 7 months !!! Always, always laughing. I miss her laughs so much...
Wow...what an epiphany! May God continue to bless you and the amazing work you have created.
Wow you are someone very special .I'm an old lady now but what I would have given to meet a man like you .You have so much love around you never never stop doing what your doing .Love you to bits.
❤❤❤
Thank you Lee for sharing your thoughts and insights with us. You inspire me to be a better person. And I truly appreciate your commitment to saving these dogs/animals. You're amazing!! 🐾🕊
Thank you for your unconditional love and passion for helping all living beings, you have such a beautiful heart, love and prayers from Derby CT USA 🇺🇸
I wish I could crawl into your soul and spirit and mind and heart and feel and live before I die
Absolutely wonderful video! Thank you so much. There has never been a more important time for this message,
This story (TFS) shows the kind heart Lee has. He knew he couldn't take Lily out because of the heat, but didn't want her to feel left out of the fun or to hurt her feelings. So he told a little white lie for her sake. Sometimes things happen that require a little white lie to keep from hurting someone. Lee knew this was one of those times. God bless him and all of his animals. 🙏💔💙💚💜
What a beautiful inspiring story. I remember when you told the story how you truly got started leaving that good paying job but you never shared your experience from childhood to brought you here to where you are. Your so very right about always being tested. I’ve walked through many firing test but I believed in a higher power n I got through each one. You just have to have faith inside yourself to be able to conquer your purpose. I’m happy you shared this as I’m sure you’ve inspired so many. I really believe your absolutely Blessed. Love ya big guy.♥️♥️😊👍👍👍
Well said😇
You are an amazing person and thank you for helping all the doggies
Thank you for that reflection, Lee. I'm so happy you followed your heart and had the courage to make the change needed to live your passion!! Everyone has benefitted from it!
Most definitely!
Hello Lee! And everyone!
This is a topic that doesn’t get talked about enough. So thank you for sharing. I lost my grandma at age 5. I remember someone telling me she went to heaven and I would see her again one day. I asked or put together when. And I became OK with dying, which is weird for a child(in my opinion). Since then I have developed my own spiritual thoughts on what happens. I started working in a nursing home at age 15, and felt tremendous peace about the dying process. I am 38 now and continue to have peace with it. I l found my life’s purpose very young and get to live it everyday. So grateful to hear your story and understand how grateful I should be for finding my purpose and getting to live this path. I work with death and dying daily. Lee is right! Live your purpose!!! Especially while you have your health. No regrets.
Wow. What a fantastic comment. Your story is very interesting and actually comforting too. Best of luck 🙂.
I'm so glad that dying isn't a fearful thing for you. But if you want to know for CERTAIN that you WILL go to heaven when you die; I can point you in the right direction. Jesus, the Son of God; came to earth with the sole purpose of dying on a cross; to pay the FULL PRICE for the sins of ALL of us; and He wants VERY MUCH for you to know Him; and the ONLY way to know Him is through His Word (The Bible); and by being born-again. We are ALL born sinners; on our way to eternal damnation; but because Jesus purchased our Salvation through His death on the cross; we can be freed from the bondage of our sins/sin nature; and have eternal life in heaven with Him. Just acknowledge to Him that you know you are a sinner; repent for that; and ask Jesus to come into your heart; to forgive you of your sins; to cleanse your heart; and to live in your heart as your personal Savior and Lord; and read His Word every day; pray to Him every day; and follow His Word and NOT man; or your own will; and you will have eternal peace and joy. Jesus loves you with all of His heart, and He wants to know you personally and to see you in heaven when you die. If you die unsaved; you will fear death when it comes; but if you are saved; you will have an even greater peace than you feel you have now. May The Lord draw you to His Self.
@@cynthiamaury1671 Why is Jesus real but Allah isn’t? I can find any number of Muslims who are as iron clad certain about their faith as you.
Love to you precious Child of God! An older person can show you how beautiful life can be when your love goes full circle; from caregiver to our eternal home with God in a place unimaginably beautiful 🤗
@@bettinabarr9107 Same God. They are all from the Godhead. I think so. Just because we as humans have made up all types of nonsense at the end of the day the vast intelligence that created us all is there. You can believe in God, Jesus Buddah, The Universe but it's all the same power. Compassion and love NOT fear. You sound very angry for some reason Bettina. I hope you're not. God bless whoever you believe in.
I've been rescuing dogs & cast for years. Not always easy, but so worth it!
Thank you for helping the amazing Animals .....May you be richly blessed ....
I do envy you and thank you for doing so much good for animals. Positive vibes and peace to you and yours.
Beautiful words, you have found your purpose, an earth angel to protect animals. Love and light ☮️
I'm a Christian I gave my heart to jesus 40 years ago at 20 you just said how does anyone know that heaven is real well it's not that we KNOW heaven is real it's that is what we believe in faith without faith nobody can be a Christian I love you God bless
I AM A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN AND I HAD TO FEMALES I LOST UNFORTUNATLY AND MY BOTH PARENTS DIED.BUT I KNOW WHERE THEY ARE A FRIEND OF MINE EXPERIENCED HEAVENS BEFORE COMONG BACK IN HER BODY AND SHE IS NO LONGER AFRAID OF DEATH BECAUSE ITS REAL
You’re a good man, Lee. God bless you! ❤️
This is one of the most profound, powerful & worthwhile messages that I've ever heard on RUclips! So glad he shared this testimony!
You're doing an amazing job caring for these beautiful animals 🐾 we need more people like you in the world. Thank you 😊
Great ❤️ from Italy
I was meant to watch you today Lee.
We all need to live our life to the best of our ability.
I remember when I first left home, my beloved Grandad died and I woke up one morning shaking as I knew I'd never see him again. That's what anxiety does for me.
You really inspire me with your videos, keep strong Lee
You really are a positive dude ... and it's sincere even through the internet. Keep being you.
It's a beautiful story, but I hope anyone considering ditching their jobs to open a sanctuary makes sure they have adequate savings to provide for the animals.. Yes, bless all souls that love animals. But if you don't have the cash to ensure your goals are realized and to maintain your sanctuary, that would be even more devastating.
But once again, thank you for saving these beautiful canines
Hey Dawn, thats a very good point to make, and I totally agree...but what if we just see it as 'Leaving the old life to really live' what ever the goal...its a great reminder from Lee, if we need it, and most of us do x
@@momojett Yep!
Amen to that 🙏💯🙏
Yes. There is financing everyone must consider. I have over 25 beloved senior animals and birds (all adopted or rescued). I love them all, but I budget my finances around them. Vet appt., horse feed, dog chow, cat litter, bird toys, and chicken coops, you name it, my animals have it. I can't imagine having more than my two dogs.
If that is your passion doors will open, paths will appear...this is Lee's purpose so he is finding success. No one would do what he's doing unless they had major PASSION!!
Thank you for sharing your storie. It is true that we are here on earth for a purpose, and you have chosen to live your life the fullest with your beautiful dog friends, to give them the fullest life they deserve. It is so beautiful. God Bless you for sharing the love around you💖💖
Awesome 👌 bless you 🙏
Beautiful story and love what you do for all the animals!! Really amazing 🙏
I just love that old “fluffy” German Shepard..ambling along. Old dogs are so wonderful…
I envy him so much, always surrounded by fabulous dogs of all shapes and sizes and looking after them and giving them the best life. I can only dream of that. What a dear, wonderful man he truly is.
I am so glad that I found your channel, Lee. You really bring a bright spot into my day. Thank you!
I started my own petsitting/dog walking biz In Arizona 15 yrs ago.
I select who I want 2 work with/make all my own choices/hours.
Happiest I have ever been.
I get 2 snuggle/kiss fuzzy critters all day! Love Lee❤ I was tested on every level,now I'm in a great place.
You are sooo great! The world needs more people from your kind.
Inspirational. I used to see challenges as tests but I’ve replace that word with ‘adventure’ ... I’m still learning and growing, but somehow it is much more fun, like opening a gift each day. Perhaps the Universe wants us to have fun and play !!! 🖖 🤗
🙂 I also use the word "adventure". This old lady imagines herself strapping on armour and facing the battles needing to be won.😁
Blessings to Lee, animals, and all fighting the good fight.💪
My older sister said something to me about 30 years ago that stuck with me. You could look at life as either an adventure or a disaster. My husband gave me this thought. It's not what happens in your life, it's how you deal with what happens.
One person might turn it into an adventure, and the other person a disater. I went after my dream at 21 years old. I got the dream. I was not entirely happy with the dream. Do not know why till this day. Professional singer on Cruise Ships. We were a duo. Met my husband on the ship. Loved singing, but there was an emptiness. Fears of dying and anxiety.
You DO inspire. Thank you for the noble, good, kind work you do. ❤️
You have the heart that all dogs need. 🐾❤️
"You're never going to out live the test."
I needed this one. Thank you!
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story, Mr Chow. Sending loads of love and light your way.
I completely agree. That is what will give you peace. Amen. God Bless You!!!
My Labrador also whines whenever he can’t get a huge rock. Dreaming of your life.
Thank you for sharing. Love 🇨🇦
I always seem to click on your videos the exact day I am meant to. Today is July 12 2022 just 8 days until my 59th birthday. I'm not doing well emotionally or physically. Your words have touched me. I have a lot of thinking to do.
Thank you so much Lee! I needed to hear this at this particular moment 💯 You're an amazing person, truly have a heart of gold. You give so much not only to animals, but give hope, inspiration, comfort and happiness to thousands of us. We love you Lee, thank you for letting us be a part of your life! 🥰🤗🐶🐕🐩❤
Yes Lord you you are amazing.I wish that I could do what you do. Bless you
You are unique in the world of RUclips. It amazes me every time how your herd of sweet pups who all get on well with each other, though I'm sure there are skirmishes! It's attributed to you and your positive calm and loving energy. Like a modern day Frances of Assisi 🐕 🥰 Love you all
What a remarkable story. I needed to hear this. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for being such an awesome man
I love this one so much,you open my eyes to so much. I am so lucky to be apart of the Asher house /patreon community it has brought so much to my life. I found you that one person who every day open my eyes to so many wonders of this universe. You lift me up with amazing news, and have brought many tears to my eyes with great sadness. But through it all you have always been honest, good or bad always the truth. So I'm so glad that you have found your purpose and have brought me along for the ride, just fucking amazing thank you, love you!!❤️❤️🥰
Wow. We need more people like Mr. Asher.
Hi Lee, I just found your channel yesterday ! I love dogs so much and I’m so thrilled to see your love and care for so many dogs! I’ve lived in a studio apartment for 9 years and don’t have the opportunity or space to care for a dog which I would love so much! I have friends that have dogs who I care for when they are out of town so that’s where I get the void filled for the love of dogs💕
What you are doing is so amazing and found your purpose which is so important in this life. Bless you for all you do for dogs!
To wake up every day and walk out to that beautiful property with your wonderful dogs and walk to the lake. What an amazing life you have, my friend. 😊
He got me with the story of Tony the overweight German Shepard! I just love that story so much it touched me - yes I have a Shepard and I’m so grateful that he did not leave Tony behind! Thank you so much for all you do!
I’m the kind of a person that knows all the dogs and their names of my neighbourhood and walking with my dog in the forest is the my favourite thing to do💕🇵🇱🇨🇦🐶
Dear Lee, thank you for helping me to know what it was that was missing in my life all this time, I think my time has passed to find my dreams but I could never figure out why I felt like I haven't fulfilled my life. Thank you for helping me to realize that 🙏🏻💖
Dawn, it’s not too late for your dreams. Maybe you can’t fully do what you wanted.. but you can participate, somehow. Want you to feel content, before leaving this earth, knowing even a part of your dreams were fulfilled. Due to medical probs.. I too.. had to change course. So I thought long and hard knowing I couldn’t do what I wanted.. but now.. what would truly make me happy?? It’s small.. but it’s something. And I truly feel happy, blessed, and fulfilled every time this presents itself. You might have to lower your ‘dreams’, but you can still find something to do relating to them, no matter how small, to bring you happiness. Wishing you well and sending positive thoughts & love your way♥️ Good luck!
It's not too late. This is not a cliche'. I let others push me away from my love of dance. I believed I had to be able to learn a dance in a matter of a couple of hours. No. It's not so 😭. I needed to study the movement and that is okay. While in college my instructors didn't teach in one style, like Horton Technique. The one benefit of this technique is muscle memory. I never really mastered that with Modern dance. But, at 52, I am going back to my Jazz dance roots. If I have problems, I'll just slow it down and concentrate on one part at a time. If not, there is always line dancing. 😧😍 Follow your dreams.
Good on you. That's inspiring!
Living your purpose is the greatest gift. I grew up in a funeral home family and then worked for hospice for over 30 years. One of the many things I have learned is that it is going to be OK. Life is good and we don't want to waste it. What you are doing is also a gift, so keep doing it. It's going to be great!
Man with A STRONG WILL AND GOLD HEART bow down and thank you for what you do for animals...🙏
You are so on point. This message has come up twice for me. A post I read: Someone said: "You only live once." Someone replied: No, you only die once, you live every day.
What an inspiring reflection of your turning point! I'm humbled and touched by your honesty and so glad you had the courage to follow your destiny. God bless you Lee and entourage. Big hugs.👵🙏💖🐕🐕
The teacher is always silent during the test. You are a blessing.
Lee I wanted to thank you. I adore you and commend you for being brave enough and strong enough to follow your heart. Watching you grow over the years I can't count the times you've touched my heart through these animals. May God continue to bless you and the pack we all love so much. 😊❤️
I always thought you really had your stuff together : your attitude was always one of love, you never responded to provocation, you bore your poverty like it was the easiest thing. I thought maybe you had decades of therapy and you really worked at it. If that fear of death or fear of missing your life could be bottled, you’d be a millionaire, many times over
This, was one “very heavy vid”...... I’m crying hard..... I’m 65 yrs old - retired Mom of 4 Children & 4 Grandchildren, I’ve rescued many animals ( NOT all dogs & cats ), presently I have 3 doggos & 2 birds. YOU HAVE SAID - EVERYTHING IN MY HEART & MIND!!!!!! **** Hit me hard - cause I NEVER heard it in words.....
