How did we end up here?
It all began with a year of full-time travel, embracing the van life until the world shifted, and we had to adjust accordingly. With travel no longer an option but determined to stay productive, we transformed our compact mobile abode into a self-sufficient off-grid dwelling that fulfilled all our needs. Recognizing the uncertainty of the current tiny home, we concluded that establishing a permanent residence was the most sensible choice. Over the past three years, we have meticulously overseen every aspect of the project ourselves, planning the construction while simultaneously setting up the off-grid property to sustain our future food requirements. This pursuit led us to seek a temporary residence, and after an extensive search, we stumbled upon Geodesic Domes, realizing they perfectly suited our needs while we dedicated ourselves to the gradual realization of our shipping container home dream. However, this will mark our 4th winter with stable electricity, running water, or a flushing toilet and time has come to come up with a new plan going forward.

Charlie is a cutie but gosh is he stubborn! He has definitely been keeping our plate full but we’re pretty proud of how things are coming together with the containers. Also, we have some pretty big news about a very major life change we’re about to make. The next few weeks we’ll be embarking on a new chapter that let’s just say…it will change EVERYTHING! If you're apart of our Patreon community don't spill the beans 😏
Moving to Halifax or Dartmouth for the winter
❤ at Charlie age he is doing remarkable.
I think you guys need to create a studio for your podcasts. They are so good I look forward to them every week.

Todd talking to himself as he works through getting set up is the most relatable content I’ve ever seen
I kinda feel like he's talking to us.

OMG Todd filling the tool belt is everything! He really should be in the movies 😂😂❤️ the references to movies, TV shows, and singers are always on point too!
Thanks for saying this. Todd isn't in the comments yet tonight (This is Tyler). I literally tell him ALL THE TIME, he is such a STAR. I think the best part is he doesn't even know it...(until he reads this later, love youuu)
Lol I was basically going to say the same thing!
Todd really should take flight on the fun flowing side of him, he is so funny and I find myself laughing out loud! Tyler has his sweet side too, totally adorable! What a heartfelt treat to dip into your life you two❤
Just loved the tool belt fashion show. Wonderful
Todd love the tool belt and the fun you had filing it
Todd working by himself is actually VERY entertaining! It looks great.
❤️🤣
Tyler and Todd are good for my mental health. ❤ A dog in need of a service human.
That actually really means a lot ❤
I would recommend to put the plants further away from the fireplace, they don’t like it that hot and will dry out too fast and fry like this. All the best!
Poor Charlie. He's feeling miserable because he can't do what he likes to do. It must be hard on you guys. I hope he gets better soon and gets back to his lovable, happy self. I have every confidence in you and that you will prevail as usual.
Todd and his tool belt… be still my heart!! Then we got Tyler and the tool belt! Killin’ me here. More great music choices, as usual. My heart is hurting for Charlie and his humans. Caregiving is very hard and mentally draining. Hugs to all of you.
Thank you so much ❤️
Out of the FOUR Gay Couples I Follow on RUclips, Todd and Tylers Production Values are The HIGHEST! They Put A LOT of Hard Work and Thought Into them!
Todd having entire conversations with himself is legit the most relatable thing we've seen on RUclips in MONTHS! The house is looking really good guys. Love to you both from Chris and Eduardo.
P.S. I (Chris) am in COMPLETE Christmas mode too, so Todd, you have allies lol
I was born and raised as a construction worker, so I'd like to compliment you guys for the stead fast attitude. Through patience and perseverance, you will reap the long term benefits of your efforts.
Your dog does not need surgery, he's coming along just fine. It's a slow recovery. My elderly dog had the same injury and I decided not to do the surgery because of her age. A year later she was fine and lived happily the rest of her life. Your videos are great, thank you for all the work.
Gotta say, I agree.. Surgery has its own complications..
Charlie is really lucky to have such amazing dads
@@terry94131 we had a cat love to 21 he was amazing devastating loss when he passed
@@terry94131 happy birthday Mr Spots !🎂
When my sister's dog had to have surgery and be kept as immobile as possible, she used a doggy playpen so he couldn't walk around too much. You could also set up a confined outdoor space so he can go to the toilet without being able to walk around much and he might be happier to go if he can be left to his own devices in a safe space. Just a thought. I'm sure that once he has had his surgery he will recover quickly. Todd was so funny doing the siding on his own. He was chatting away and having a little one man party!
I loved how Todd talked to himself & danced while doing siding. My family sends hugs, love & prayers to Charlie🙏 Feel better soon Charlie💜
OMG. Todd working by himself, singing, and strutting around doing Vogue poses in his tool belt was THE BEST! Keep up the great work, guys, and all the best to the puppy! Hopefully his surgery will go well and he'll be back to playing with his brother.
When our dog needed to stay inactive but liked to be outside with us we purchased a used human playpen & he went along. He was much happier being outside & with us.
Really great idea!
Love to you both- And to the pups and Squirrel !Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us - I always look forward to hearing how things are going and hoping you are all well!
My roommate said Todd talking to himself while siding, reminds her of me in the kitchen while cooking, she laughed and said I make the spices talk and answer.😅😅
Yes, Tyler. It was obvious that Todd missed you while he was working outside and it was also clear that you missed his company too. It is wonderful that your families are there physically when help is needed especially now that one of your babies is injured. Always enjoy my Sunday afternoons with you and your fur babies. ❤😊 😎
Our Border Collie needed both legs done, three years apart. It sure is tough at first but you’ll get a routine down, especially after the surgery. Then one day, you’ll notice a huge improvement in how he walks, and so will he. Then every day is better until it’s over! Hang in there guys!
I really appreciate that you're taking the time to film the podcast and make it available on RUclips as well as just on listening platforms!! I find it too hard to follow audio-only speech (podcasts, radio etc), but by being able to see you guys I'm feeling so included :-)
It's amazing how when a pet or a child or anyone in your immediate family is not well, it completely drains your energy. I'm super impressed that you manage to find the drive to continue while I'm sure the entire time Charlie's well-being is going through your mind. Have an awesome week!
Hanging on by a thread LOL 😂
@@tylerandtodd Carbon fiber is made of threads…
@@mmsmits2868 And We Are Made of Carbon lol. Some of us have a little more stardust than others! (thank gawhd)
Think...what would the world be like without our glitter!
The siding looks fantastic: everyone needs a tool belt. So nice of your mom to help out with Charlie, poor dog....
Not Everybody! I Put Up A TOWEL RACK BACKWARDS! Twice! Ive Haven't Touched A Screwdriver since and that was 1986! LOL!
@@KevinCovington5453 Good point. I work on our truck and my partner works on the computer. Never the two shall mix!!!! Some people are just wired different than others.
Here's a tip for all those cords. Get gallon sized ziplock freezer bags, write on the front what each cord goes to and put each cord in its own bag. No more trying to figure out which cord goes where or winding cords around your hand, which makes them twist up.
I think you could leave Charlie alone in the house and he would be fine. And outside on his own for short potty breaks. Ask your vet but try it. Charlie knows how much he can handle.
Oh, Todd, you do make me giggle! You're both such a tonic! Absolutely love you guys and watching your progress. Also, can't wait until Todd trims up for Christmas!
Big hugs to Charlie first off.
It’s always good to see you, gentlemen, three. Cheers and congratulations on the siding completion.
Looking forward to all the Christmas lights, see you next Wednesday😊
Siding is really looking great. Love the toolbelts!!!! Love and hugs for Charlie.
Thanks James!!
So my 10 year old aussie tore his ACL about a week after I tore mine. Neither of us had surgery...and both of us recovered with a combination of rest, ice application, and progressive walking exercises in about 8 weeks. We used aspirin as an analgesic and to assist him with the anxiety of not being able to move about as normal, I used valarian dog chewies at night. The aspirin I used for the dog was liver flavored according to the bottle (yuck) and he loved it. I wore a knee brace. Carbon the aussie ate his. Like Charlie, he hated the belly lifter. I ended up getting a full vest/body lift to assist him with going outside for the first few weeks. It took about 8 weeks of rehab to return to normal levels of exercise/activity. As I am nearly as old (in dog years) as my aussie, I can say that both of us old-timers were quite happy with slow non-invasive medicine. My injury was a bit more extensive...and I had blood in the knee space so the dog actually recovered a bit more quickly.
Looking good. Hope Charlie's surgery is a complete success and healing is rapid so the boy won't be in the "dog-house" anymore. It makes him so sad. You are doing great dealing with it.
I hope Charlie is feeling better soon. Keep up the good work guys! Much love from the Netherlands
Best of luck to Charlie. It's so hard when something is wrong with our furry friends. We just got our dog spayed..."No running, jumping, or playing for 2 weeks". Riiiight. She's a puppy; they may as well tell her not to breathe. Stitches come out tomorrow. It's been a long 2 weeks.
OMG the tool belt modeling absolutely made my day! Looking good. Hope Charlie’s surgery is soon 😊
Todd and the tool belt! So cute, and then modeling the belt! I'm glad Charlie is doing better, Squirrel is absolutely beautiful, the siding looks amazing!
yea, we-my husband, daughter, &I took turns sitting with our dog on the floor on her dog bed to keep her calm since she was an almost 2 year old play monster. I also slept with her on a mattress on the floor. We did this for 3 months. The other option was to keep her locked in her crate & we just couldn’t do that. And yes, the pain meds the first week after the surgery really messed with her system & she had to wear a diaper. But she hasn’t had any issues these 8 years since her surgery.
Thanks to you both you lovely people and furries for cheering me up. I'm not good mentally during the winter months as my work drops off and I worry about money etc. Each Sunday at 10pm (I live in Spain) I'm here waiting and this last 2 weeks I've been bingeing your entire back catalogue and it's amazing to see how far you've come from the very first trip to The Land to now - it's incredible what you've achieved. I feel privileged to be allowed to come along with you all. Liz x P.S LOVE the podcasts!
Todd dancing around in the tool belt and having that little joy was everything I needed to start my Monday morning off good!
Guys, you might consider using what is called a playpen for Charlie. When my dog had this surgery, she was confined in our laundry room for seven weeks wirh only short walks and then P.T. later on. Gruelling. The pen will keep him right with you but confined so he can't reinjure 3jimself while healing. I hope. So sorry he needs this surgery!!
Maybe once the house is finished, you can leave the dome set up as a studio.
Eventually you will want to have a permanent setup.The foliage was so very beautiful. Here in VT there was very little red.
Siding is a bit tricky, but once you get the groove going, it is so much faster with each piece. I can imagine how frustrating it is to work with metal siding. My experience has only been with vinyl siding. But the principal is the same. Keep up the good work! ❤❤
So true! You get on a roll and more comfortable as you go!
I have a little decorating tip for Todd: I've decided that white lights can stay up all winter. I convinced myself that olored lights are for hristmas, andhite lights are for inter. I use both during the holidays, but the post holiday blahs can be eased by leaving white lights up. It's such a dark time of year, turning off all the lights after Christmas is such a downer. I also hang a lot of artificial snowflakes and icicles from my curtain rods in front of the window, have snow-frosted wreaths and garland, candles (LOTS of candles) to keep the winter theme going. It helps a lot with the after-Christmas blues.
Have you guys looked into getting knee braces for Charlie? Our Abby girl tore ligaments as well and we got custom knee braces for a fraction of the cost of surgery. Her knee ended up repairing itself and she didn't need surgery in the end. Braces will stabilize until surgery date at the very least! Sending you love
What you accomplished even with the stress of dealing with Charlie is amazing! The siding looks fantastic, and I love watching the two of you work together! ❤️
Todd you certainly rock the toolbelt, it’s hard to tell a dog Charlie to take it easy they’re like kids they just don’t listen lol, and I was giggling at you when you were 🤬, and the snow looks beautiful, give the fur babies a hug for me please, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
It's not the most fun, but I'd recommend a play pen, a leash when outdoors, lots of treats toys (lick mats, kongs) for both doggies (and treats for you guys as well), for after surgery . After 5 weeks PO, he's still taking Rimadyl, Trazodone, and we're weaning him off Gabapentin. We still have 5 week until his X-rays to evaluate bone healing. He's up to 2 20 minute walks a day (still no jumping, wrestling, bouncing, furniture sitting or running). A Help 'em up harness is also nice for getting him in and out of the car without jumping.
Galoopla, galoopla, galoopla... toolbelt!

Here's for Charlie's continued recuperation.🐾🐾🐾🥤🎶🍻❤
Wonderful to see the great care you are giving Charlie. He is so beautiful. The container home is looking so amazing. What a wonderful difference that siding makes. You are building a gorgeous home. I don't know if you know a trick in removing the stain on your fireplace doors. We mix a paste up of wood ashes and water and used on a regular basis, they stay crystal clear. Thought I would share that with you. That same "ash paste" works good on a glass cook top, windows and mirrors. Keeps everything brilliantly clean with a little elbow grease.
You guys are so much fun. I needed the laughter today. Thank you and have a wonderful week.
I hope you give the contractor a 1 star on Google. That's an incredibly frustrating and unfair situation. I'm glad you were able to move on though. You will have a beautiful home to be proud of after all this blood, sweat, and tears.
I know how you feel, my Siberian husky was 8.75 years old when she had to have the same operation. She will be 11yrs old in a month and doing good. It is worth the time and attention to get your baby back to his old self.
The siding is really coming along nicely !! 👍
And, it always great when
‘Grandma ‘ comes over to
‘babysit ‘ ❤. I hope Charlie gets better soon 🙏😘😘
The Siding looks Amazing 😍😍😍 Brilliant workmanship 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 WELL DONE 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
Every time I watch, I can't get over how beautiful it is there. All the colours just exquisite. Love you two from 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Our dog had the same operation to both hind legs - it really helps to use a large crate so they can not make the mistake of getting up and moving other than turning around and lying back down. We used it for the first 4 weeks then got a baby fence to give him a little more room to move around. It is a really hard journey but they finally get used to it and will use the bathroom. They have to resign to it.
Happy Sunday Tyler and Todd!❤ feel better soon Charlie 🐾🙏
The siding is looking so beautiful!!! Have a great week!!!
Thank you, we're loving how it's coming together!!!
Life isnt fair we are given this animals with undying love for us but they can break us mentally and physically but I am happy Charlie is in the best hands with you two
You boy's are adorable, if you keep sporting that tool belt like that, you will end up on the other work bench inside (bed) more than getting your siding done, but hey work is work and your meant to InJoy it 😂❤ I'm glad Max and Occy shared you so more of us Aussies get to enjoy your magical personalities. Love from Adelaide South Oz ❤
Been looking forward to this all day!
You’ve done such a fantastic job getting that siding in place. It looks really great So hope Charlie’s surgery happens soon. How you both are coping is just amazing! ❤
I have a suggestion Tyler , for the cords and cables , ziplock bags ! place each ( labelled bag ) cable in one and then you dont have to untangle them each time you want to use them , then have a plastic box that only stores the special cables you use for filming .
Been there, done that. Even made a sling for my Nicky so that he didn't let his hind legs hit the ground. Be patient with yourselves and allow Charlie to lead you. ❤❤❤❤ (if only for a while)
you are both such great doggy parents❣️
If you don’t have an x-pen, perhaps you’d consider buying one: it’s basically a set of wire panels that fold up. You could put them around Charlie’s bed to reduce where he can go, then you wouldn’t have to jump up and tell him to lay down all the time. A second option would be a crate to keep him still while he recovers. Lots of love!
Never heard of that - thanks for the tip!
hey guys, my dog had the same injury. He didn't have to have the the plate though. I live in New England and would have to shovel a walking path through the snow for him to go to the bathroom. it actually helped to keep him controlled. Boys are a pain though, they have to pee everywhere.
We give him Hemp pills for joints (he thinks they are a snack) and it seems to help/ It's been about two years now. But I think Eddie will do much better with the plate. Best of luck to you all!
Great content, will watch again. The meds dope him up so he will be calm as needed. The constipation will clear…
Never let this go. Such memories you’ll have later. 😊
❤love you guys!
I love watching all my favorite channels try to beat the winter!
The winter always wins 😂
If you anticipate on continuing with the podcast after the container home is complete, maybe setup the spare bedroom as your primary studio (filming and editing) that can be converted to a bedroom when you have guest over instead of the other way. Just a thought. Love yall!!!
It will just take a little while. Don’t worry about it too much. Not pooping is typical for pain meds. My Rosie did the same thing. It will be ok, eventually.
Love from Michigan been catching up with the videos ❤❤
Hey there, hope you aren't too sick of us yet lol
YES, I definitely am surprised at the amount of video-producing equipment one requires! It would be beyond MY ability to set-up and then use! I have to call my son every time something goes "wrong" with my laptop ... he very respectfully does not roll his eyes at me when he explains how simple my issue is!
LOL I need a son to come set this up hahaha..omg the amount of googling and figuring out I have to do to get all this going is hilarious. Looks good tho so that's a win! 😂
Charlie will get better soon for sure 🙏. But I gotta say this. Todd working by himself is so much fun. 😂
OK, so this is all about Charlie. When our Standard Poodle had back-to-back surgeries on one hip that ended up taking over 3 months for surgical recovery - when she was finally able to have the leg "untied" from her side and could start to put it down again - and we were frantic to figure out how to help an incredibly active dog get through this, we discovered a number of things that helped. After the 3 months she was able to weight bear again, but had forgotten that she should walk/run on 4 legs instead of 3, so we started another 3 months of rehab - twice weekly + at-home exercises during the off days. Anyway, it was about 6 months of surgery-recovery-rehab with a dog that went through bouts of depression until we read that mental stimulation is as draining as physical and we could help her "take the edge off." We taught her all kinds of tricks, fed her with what they call enrichment things, like putting food into a puzzle where the dog has to push open little doors to get to it, read to her. and found videos for dogs on RUclips that all helped so much (she especially loved the classical music and you could see her visibly relax when we put it on). Nowadays you can find even more ways to enrich and stimulate them mentally (to help with the stubbornness, restlessness, and depression) online and on RUclips. Post-surgery you're going to have the recovery to get through, and, following that if it is available out your way, I highly recommend rehab. We were lucky to have a dynamite rehab doctor who had just opened her clinic and our pup was the first to use her treadmill in a water tank and balance balls for dogs that are egg shaped and help them with early weight bearing. She also used ramps, stairs, and walking around traffic cones and stepping over little "jumps" - all those she taught us to reproduce at home. I know some people will think we went to extremes, but her recovery was so good that she did not have any kind of relapse for the remainder of her life.
So that's the shortest summary of our tackling a long and involved medical journey with our girl that I can write - and even with that, there are so many things I have left out. If you just start with trying to enrich Charlie's time with things that use his nose, eyes, and ears, I think it will help. I'm sure other people who have gone through this will have other good ideas (like the X-pens which we still had around from our Irish Wolfhound days). Just put out the word and I'm sure you will be flooded with ones that have been successfully used with people/dogs that watch your guys every week. I hope this helps ...
Our Golden had the same thing, and we kept him on Strick regiment of being on a leash for walks for over three weeks and we ended up not having to get the surgery
Your golden must of had a partial tear that was able to re heal. Charlie's is completely disconnected and no longer attached in anyway to his knee so it's just sort of dangling there if that makes sense? Surgery is the only way, unfortunately
Hi, I'm watching from Australia! I love your videos.I hope Charlie is ok. 😊
He's hanging in there...stubborn as I don't know what but he's here and that's all that matters!
@@tylerandtodd Yeah Tyler.... When Charlie was growling? I dont think he was growling att the wind chimes.
I SPEAK GROWL: He Was Saying. DONT TOUCH ME! LOL!
Now I'm thinking about what you guys can do to create a studio for your podcasts. Maybe once the container house is done, you can turn the dome into a recording studio. Of course, it won't be all that comfy in the winter. Hmm...maybe one of the spare bedrooms in the container house. That way you wouldn't have to set up and take down the equipment every time you recorded.
The toolbelts are adorable. I've seen people attach suspenders to theirs so the belts don't drag their pants down when they're full of tools and nails/screws.
I just adore you two. Thank you for always bringing a smile to my face and filling my 22:02 heart with warm fuzzies. I have an 11 year old Golden “Wrigley”. He tore his hamstring several years ago and just like Charlie he was fine one minute and the next he could barely walk. I had to keep him calm and his mobility restricted for 6 weeks which was nearly impossible. I finally went out and bought a large indoor kennel and basically had to keep him confined until he healed. It broke my heart to have to confine him in a crate but it was far better than ending up having to undergo extensive surgery. You both have such kind, carrying and loving hearts, its easy to see how much you love all your pets and it’s no different than if your own child was I’ll how much we suffer emotionally alongside our dear pets when they are I’ll or injured. We just want to see them happy, healthy and pain free. You mentioned you didn’t like how sedated Charlie’s pain medical made him. Have you tried to cut the dose in half during the day and giving him a full dose in the evening before bedtime, just a thought. Best of luck to all of you and Todd I’m already playing Christmas songs on my piano lol so I say string up the Christmas lights, hang the mistletoe, whip me up a cup of eggnog and let the merry making begin Ho! Ho! Ho!

Back in the day, my dog was bitten be another and it severed my dog’s back leg ACL. We coped for a while by making a leather sling that protected the dog’s leg from dragging and he got around fine on three legs. I don’t know how long it will be until the surgery but that would be temporary solution.
I have a Charlie dog who is also stubborn. He is a lab Pyrenees mix. He just turned 5. I know how you feel about your pooches. They sure mean a lot to us don’t they. The containers are looking good.
Tod your so hysterical 😊 thank you . I needed it. Just finished my first of 14 chemo treatments. ❤
We always say if you want a job done properly do it yourself..that looks great..well done xx
You both are SO adorable! Todd is hysterical and Tyler is total patience. I'm sure Tyler cracked up when he saw Todd's shenanigans when Todd was having to work alone. AND how frustrated Todd gets when Tyler isn't there to help out. I hope Charlie settles down soon. Love you all.
Best thing for an active older dog with an injury is a crate. If that is something you can't deal with then the next best thing is a dog fence that can be used in/outdoors. He might hate them both, but ligament injuries in elder dogs are no joke. What he needs sometimes will not jive with your emotions. No he can't pee with the belly support on. Girls can, boys can with a lot of difficulty. My suggestion is to put a doggie fence up. They have them in wire or plastic. I recommend the wire as it's easier for him to see through. This gives him a restricted outdoor space to go potty in without being hovered over. I hope this advice helps. (from a lifetime dog trainer and vet tech) Todd's external monologue was extremely entertaining lol.
Try using a short leash while outside and set up a small playpen area to keep him contained. This will keep him safe while in doors and allow to control him while outside. I had the same problem with my dog many years ago so I can have much empathy for you both.
Those fall colors…….. WOW!!!
You guys, that siding install looks so much better than when others did it before!!! Great job!!!!!
The tool belt modeling had me in stitches🤣. Dear Charlie🥰. Love you guys💖. I want one of those vacum/cleaner things.🥳
The best!
Love to Charlie ❤ Thanks Mum for helping the boy's out 💐
Great job on the sideing & the house work 🤗👍🤗👍
Could do with a robot hover dose it pick up dog hairs of a
Carpet our dog is very hairie 🤔😂😂😂
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
I installed a hot water recirculating pump today. Small but serious project. I was motivating myself by looking forward to watching this for a reward. You guys are awesome.
Love that you got it done! 💪
Work it, work it Todd! The tool belt runway walk was great 😂 And the “Ghost” scene was truly award winning! 😁🤗😂
So sorry to hear about Charlie! That happened to my girl back in early 2021. Due to her age & weight I decided to not do the surgery (grateful my vet told me that because of her weight there was actually only a 20% chance that the surgery would even work) & older dogs have a much harder time healing from that surgery. My girl made it two years before the pain was just too much, I had to put her down 9/22/23. I’ll pray for Charlie’s recovery!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Todd is to funny. There's never a dull moment with him 💕 ❤️ 💖 💙. You guys are doing a much better job than the contractors ❤😊
The snow looks gorgeous! I'm in South Texas 86f today. I am obsessed with the beautiful fall color! Again , none here
Spring project idea: a small podcast studio? Then no need to setup/takedown…
I am fortunate the pain meds I got for my dog Max just let him sleep a lot but he was able to get up and go outside for bathroom breaks with no problem. I didn’t experience his having mood changes so the pain meds worked great. I just used them for three days. His feet were infected and he was licking them so I need him to relax enough for them to start healing. The meds did the trick for me so I was fortunate.
Many years ago our 2 year old Great Pyrenees suffered a spinal injury and was paralyzed mid waist back. He had extensive rehab and lived another 9 years. However I spent two years carrying his hind quarters in and out for potty breaks. Towards the end of his life I also carried his hind quarters when he went out so he wouldn’t damage his paw dragging it. While I know your situation is different I wanted to share this Blue Dog harness I got which helped tremendously. I live I a very rural area with lots of uneven ground and obstacles. My guy always wanted to go to the farthest place for potty. It was hard on his pride and my body. As Charlie is for you… he was worth it. Sending a lot of love and the harness that helped me help my big guy Samo. His insestance that he could run, play go far etc… was quite normal according to the rehab and surgery folks. Dogs adapt to injury very differently than humans. As you are taxed physically and tested mentally hold images of Charlie’s good days and all your love front and center in your minds. I have an image of the harness I would share with you but I already miss stepped sharing. 😢 ❤. Hang in there with your sweet guy! There will be better days.
Storing cords in gallon ziplock bags is a great way to keep them from tangling up, Todd's posing with the tool belt was cool, you guy should do a calendar for 2024 of your best shots.
Great tip!
You guys should set the podcast up in the trailer that way you don’t have to take the stuff up and down every week. Just a thought. Hope Charlie feels better really soon.
Your little piece of paradise is looking more amazing with every passing week! The siding and your tool belt look so very fabulous!! Special hugs to Charlies. We're all wishing him the best.
I know it sounds cruel but the safest thing for Charlie is kennel rest because it’s the only way to keep him still most of the time. you can put it on wheels to take it with you so he can be with you guys while you work. I know it’s so hard because he doesn’t understand😢. Hope you’re doing ok too❤
You should both have a place Studio room when you have your home is Done, so you don’t have to set it up again and again 😊😊😊
