    Losing Bleu is understandably heartbreaking. As a lifetime dog owner, my husband I have morned the loss of 9 dogs in our 43 years of marriage. We have fostered and loved on our 3 grand dogs. They are not things, they are heartfelt therapy, goof balls, snuggle bugs that love you unconditionally. Most of our fur babies are buried on our property with individual name plaques. As a mother to Bleu, you did everything possible to give him a life that he deserved. Very proud of you. Taz is very fortunate to have you as her mom. ❤❤

    I lost my Rotti, my best friend of 11 years to cancer , it hurt like nothing else, the loss left me empty and lost. Time heals and a new German Shepherd named Wynter, filled the Void of my Taz's loss. I named him Taz because when he was a Pup , he loved chasing his tail and was like a Tornado. Love the name you gave Her, when you say Tazzy, it brings back the wonderful time we had shared. Sending much love to you and Taz.

    Do whatever drama you need to. When you live alone with your dog, they become your child. You have to do everything for them. Hell, I still cry now that I know Blue is gone and I try to catch up and binge watch you both. I opened this video 9 minutes after you posted and it already had over 1300 hits. I must have missed the one you named Taz. I think that's perfect for her. When I love my dog Every, and when we tuck in at night I think of Blue and send up a prayer for him...and you. My love...Scotty, passed in 2015 and love never ends. My heart twisted when you went to Homer and the sunset...and Blue...I knew what you were going to say. Aloha from Alaska

I can feel his presence in every video you put out. also Taz is too cute 🥰 At least you know there will be no cat attacks because she doesn’t play around 😂

    I never want to stop mourning the loss of Abby because I never want to forget just how much she meant to me.. She is sadly missed, but I know I will see her again when I step over the rainbow….
    I truly feel the pain you are going through Maria… Blue was an absolutely beautiful and loyal companion, and I sympathize with you for the loss of such a beautiful boy…
    Now you have a beautiful young girl that needs the same kind of love that her brother had from you…..

Blue wasn’t ‘just a dog’ your heart knows love whether it’s for Blue or a human, and it doesn’t make it hurt any less when you lose either. Blue was a rare soul and most of us would be lucky to have such a bond. Glad to see that you are doing better. Miss Taz is very sweet. 🩵

    I'm 70 years old and I still mourn the loss of Dukie and Duchess, the pair of shelties we had when I was a small child. I mourn the loss of every critter I've ever had, not every day, but when I think of them. I like to think of all of them as a huge pack across the rainbow bridge waiting for me. It is never JUST a dog, or cat, or horse. Each and every one of them were special in their own way. Don't ever let anyone try to tell you what you should feel, it's your heart and only you know when you can look across that bridge and see your own pack with all the love and joy you felt while they were on this earth.

It was a year in June and it does get easier with time. My life will never be the same however is changing because thats what life is all about. I'm happy to see you and Taz connecting more.

  • @99whiteshadow
    @99whiteshadow 17 дней назад +1

    Everyone grieves differently and I feel that the love of a dog is so genuine & different from any other love we experience in life. I lost my 12 year old Shih Tzu mix unexpectedly last November (which at that time I was 24 so I had her for half of my life) and I was a wreck. I had her bowl of food out for two weeks after her passing and just last month I finally packed up her kennel (and yes I broke down). The first year is always the hardest because when you’re so used to having them in your daily routine you notice their absence. I think you having Taz has helped your grieving process because we have two other dogs that helped with ours which was nice because it’s wasn’t as big of an absence vs. the dog that passed being your only dog (if that makes sense). Sending a lot of love and tight hugs to you💕

    Most people like myself completely understand what you’ve been going through through. Most of us are animals are our children and when you lose them, it’s extremely hard. I lost my fur baby on September 19 of 2015 and I still cry at times because of how much I miss her. And a few months ago, I had to rehome my dog because of behavior issues. Was a huge loss because I felt like I failed him. I spent as much as I could on training and trying to get help but the best thing for him was to be with somebody who isn’t me. He was being aggressive towards other people and animals because he felt he needed to protect me. he is doing amazing now and I know he’s going to continue to thrive and be the happiest dog he can be.
    You should never apologize for being a caring, loving human being.

    G'day, Glad to hear that things are getting better. I have never owned a dog in my many year but have had over 20 kit cats during our 44 years of marriage. Due to health issues we were unable to have children so our cats have been our furry kids. We can really relate to the loss of one of the kids. Blue will always be a part of you but your patience with Taz is really showing through.
    I am actually at retirement age and stored out on the farm is a high top converted Chevrolet Suburban. I have a lift kit and some really stout driveline for it. If I can I am going to put it together and see how truck camping is.
    Take care and be safe please.

    Maria, I was given a ball python when the teacher retired. All my students loved him. I didn’t realize how sickly he was-so there were countless trips to the exotic pet vet and the money spent was in excess of $8k. When he died I cried every day for a few months. So, I understand and I’m just excited to watch whatever videos you put out!

    Blue wasn’t just a dog, he was your companion, your fur baby, and your love bug. He connected with you, and loved you dearly as well. Getting back to your normal life won’t be the same, but Blue will want you to be happy. I lost my kitty Maddie 2 years ago to lymphoma, she progressed quickly and loosing her felt like my heart was ripped out of my chest. I still miss her and yes, I still cry. She was my baby girl. I understand the pain and the grief, just know it will slowly get a little easier but missing Blue will always be with you.
    I just told a friend who lost her dog unexpectedly that his body is resting but his spirit is still with you, he is still running and playing, he is still by your side. We just can’t see him.
    Take the time you need, and know you’re not alone. Blue was one special boy….

    Don’t ever let anyone tell you he was just a dog. I’ve lost several pets in my life and it never gets easier. I’ve lost my parents too, and I can’t tell you one loss was more painful than another. When we lose what we love, we hurt. Your Blue will always be a part of you and that’s as it should be.

    I had Sammy til he was around 12-15 years old. That was at least 20 years ago and I still catch myself suddenly crying for him. I have a cat named Angel now with the same personality as Sammy! 😸

    I don’t know you personally but I do know what heartache and grief are. As a pawrent I have seen three fur babies go over the rainbow. I now have two maltipoo/Shih tzu’s and at first they sort of filled the the huge void but now we are bonded. After the loss of my husband on 8/29/22, I don’t know what I would do without them. Grief has no time limit and your are entitled to feel as you do. Glad that you have Taz who also knew Blue. That’s so special. Sending hugs and much love - Ginger. 🫂♥️

    i know how hard it is dealing with a loss like you have with Blue, I lost my best friend Nuisance. People always say he was just a cat but he was my best friend. It's been over a year and it still extremely hard and that's a understatement. Just know you are not alone and are very loved

    They are not “just a dog” and anyone who would say that has clearly never loved a dog. I know how it feels, still dealing with the loss of my boy a year later. I wish I had great advice to heal a broken heart but it’s really just time. Just keep going. And take care of yourself out there.

    I'm so glad to hear that you're coming out of your shell! Anyone who gives you shit or "comes at you" for grieving your dog can kick rocks! Grief is such a hard emotional experience to get through and everyone handles it differently.. no shame in taking whatever time you need to go through that process... I am super excited to see things get back to how they were when you were going to different places and seeing new things on your 50 state road trip! As always, thanks for sharing!!

    There are dogs and then there are dog’s souls. I lost my girl Sadie from cancer just after you lost Blue😢. It was sudden too. She was my soul dog, right there inside my heart. She was and always will be there. I’ll always miss her just as you will always with blue. Take the time to recognize your loss and grieve as long as it takes. 🤗 🥰

    Blue was your best friend and companion for a long time. Don't let anyone tell you, oh, it's just a dog, because they are family members. I lost my parakeet Moe four years ago when I was going through cancer treatments. I still miss him.

    You always make me smile, Maria! I don't know if you noticed, but when Taz saw the cat, she was pointing and not just growling. Super cute!!! I'm glad you are coming out of the fog of grief a little bit. It is good to see you smiling. We just had to say, "Goodbye" to our Boxer, Millie Anne. It is truly the hardest thing in the world. Many little kisses to you and Taz and be safe out there.

Ppl that don’t have dogs don’t understand that kind of love we get for them. They are our best friend most loyal companion. Losing that is hard. I’m sorry you and Taz are going through that loss. I cried when you posted the video, he meant so much to us all because of the love you have for him we felt that through your videos. Thank you for sharing your life with us. We all just want you to heal and feel better whenever that is we will be here take your time ❤

    Totally get you. I’m still grieving the loss of my cat 4 years later. I’ve had other cats and they too have passed and I grove them too, but for some reason this one cat we called Hooche (a mix of my partners surname and my first name) really stole our hearts. Crying now thinking about him. You and Blue were just meant to be. He definitely found the one person who could love and give him 100%. He was definitely not “just a dog”, he was your boy Blue.

    Hey Girl. I noticed that you seemed more like yourself through most of this video. Grief is hard. We understand. Take care of yourself, be kind to yourself. You don't owe anyone an explanation.
    Blue was your baby, in every sense of the word. It takes a long time to start feeling better. It takes as long as it takes.
    Hugs to you, Girlfriend. From a fellow dog mom in northern Michigan. 💜

    @desireemisanko2009 16 дней назад

    I saw your comment regarding potential negativity about your grief over Blue. I don’t normally comment… although watch all the time.. but I felt this is an important point. Often the loss of a fur family member is actually harder than even losing a human family member (info supported by research). Our furry family members are ALL love. Not any of the ups and downs (aka drama… even whey we love them) with our human family. So the grief is a loss of pure love. It’s so incredibly hard and stays with you for so long… sometimes forever… although it changes. So I guess my point is… don’t let ANYONE question your grief… it’s legit. And blessings to you and Taz (sp?) 💕

  • @kjsgarden

    I totally, totally understand about your grieving process for dear Blue. My Riley has been gone for almost 10 years and it still guts me unexpectedly now and then. Those first months it was like I was swimming through thick jello or something. I’ve never grieved anyone like him. I truly feel like I lost part of my heart when he died, like I lost… my soul’s other half. Like I’m a widow now.
    So, anyway, I get it girl!!!!
    You’re doin’ great. I can see the life coming back into your eyes, your enthusiasm starting to kick in again. It was so sad to see how hurt you were the last months. I had to keep watching the channel to support you.
    I just get it so much. ❤💔

    Maria, you do whatever you have to do to grieve and heal ❤I'm not even a dog person but I loved Blue and your connection to him (and his to you) was clear. I have experienced losses like this before, including a baby, and what I can say is that 1. you HAVE to let yourself go through the grief and let it move through you so it can leave you eventually and 2. I promise that dark haze that you feel is coating everything will dissipate and your longing for Blue will become something that you can hold inside while functioning normally. I think we are lucky to have experienced these incredible relationships that can't even be described by words ❤You're handling it really well and I'm proud of you and inspired by you

    Never apologize for how you grieve. Grieving is a personal journey unique to you and the reason you are grieving. Your loss is real and deep. Dogs imprint on our soul at the deepest level. Not everyone will get this until they experience a loss like you have.
    My view is that any content you share during your grieving process is bonus content and highly appreciated. The fact that you still post and discuss the loss of Blue is a testament to your strong character and dedication to your life’s mission.
    Stay Reckless, Keep Roaming!!

    I 100% felt the same when my cat Fae died. I lost a piece of myself when she left. Grief isn't linear and that can really suck. My cat was fighting breast cancer and it was a rough ride for us. We didn't quite make it a year on our fight. You are NOT being dramatic. You're being a human! Be you, feel everything, grieve and find happiness where and when you can! Love watching your content no matter what you're up too! Be safe out there!!

    As someone who just lost one of my dogs unexpectedly over the weekend. Hearing you talk about it, helps. The process takes time and he was my kid before my actual kids. Him and his sister have been together for 10 years from birth till Friday. Having her here helps, but the process you are going through has just started for me. I feel it. Dogs are not just dogs.. anyone that has had a dog/pet knows that. The first time you get licked in the face by your dog your heart grows 3 sizes like the Grinch's did. Keep it going! Love from a fellow Michigander!
