Teared up seeing Martina and Simon talking about Spudgy. That little one was loved more than he could ever know. Your family won’t lose the memory of Spudgy but gain an additional one. Love you all!
It’s really nice here! We have a lovely community of good people here, many commenters we’ve seen throughout the years. Honestly, my favourite part about making a video is speaking with people in the comment section :)
It's definitely not by accident, they've put a ton of work into having a great, positive community. ^_^ Welcome! Stick around, enjoy the cats, sass, and great food adventures.
I love that you guys are showing us more of your day to day routines. It makes the video more personable and genuine. Also as a long time dog owner i couldnt imagine being in a house without a pet. It just doesnt feel like a home to me imo. We all miss spudgy and we'll always remember him! I think giving a new dog a good loving home would be amazing!
For this week's adventure, we're heading over to the Totoro Cream Puff Factory in Kichijoji, and showing you a bit around our neighbourhood while we're at it :D
It's taken me a bit to write this but I wanted to say how thankful I am Martina left the part about Spudgy and not being ready in. I hate to see you cry but it's almost comforting in a way to know other's go through those emotions My fiance and I had a guinea pig for years, and the day before my fiance's birthday he suddenly showed he was very sick (guinea's being prey animals hide their illness' well) We rushed him to the vet that day but ultimately had to put him down as there was no vet in a 4 mile radius who could treat small animals and the medicine we needed wouldn't arrive in time through the vet A few months later, being we still had dogs we went a into pet shop and my fiance noticed some young guinea pigs and talked about getting one, and I started crying at the thought (I'm tearing up now thinking about it) and had to leave the store. I started bawling and couldn't handle the thought of being ready to take care of another, and felt almost guilty at the thought of getting another, like I was trying to replace him or forget what happened But my fiance said the same thing Simon did and despite not doing anything that day I gave myself time to think over his words and we ended up adopting another guinea pig and while I miss Pippin (the one who passed) I know we're giving Hana all our love and spoiling her And now I'm crying but it's worth it Sorry this got so long, but really, thank you Martina. I know you miss Spudgy but thank you for showing this. I love these sort of 'imperfect' vlogs. The ones that are your true daily life and not how other vloggers may only show the perfect bits of their lives
i started crying when martina started crying. You guys loved spudgy so much and he even connected with us so much. you guys loved him full heartedly and another good boy deserves all the love in the world from you guys. we support you 100% in this decision and cant wait to be introduced to a new puppers in your family. spudgy isnt being replaced, he is approving your love to be shared.
I really adore these videos. When you guys show behind the scenes shots, show the beginning of your days, and to even show the sad parts like the end of your video. I can't wait to meet your new dog, whenever you guys are ready. I really appreciate you both so much. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
dear martina, getting a new pet after losing an old, beloved pet is very hard to do. personally, i felt like i was betraying my older dogs or 'replacing' them, but one thing about dogs is they always are happy when we are happy. spudgy would want you to be so happy. it might be too soon if you are still very upset, but the best advice i can give is to just peruse a shelter without the intent or thought of getting a new dog to see how you feel. a lot of times, my new dogs found me unexpectedly and won my heart. trust me girl, i cried with you. viva la spudgy xoxo
Ughhh I lost it when Martina was crying 😭😩 I want you to be happy girl 😔 and a Spudgy will never be forgotten.. I’ve been following you for so long now and I assure you he will never be forgotten 💜💜
I really appreciate seeing the "normal" along with the extra fun stuff. And I'm excited that you've decided to get a new dog at some point :) I remember when my first pup passed, knowing when to get a new fuzzy family member wasn't easy. But after about a week of having pup number 2, it was like she'd been there forever
I got my second fur baby this summer I’ll always miss Gina but Lulu is a sweetheart as well. I also have a chronic pain condition and having a fur baby with can make it less sad/lonely. Nothing can take away the pain of a pet passing and the first few months were extremely hard on my health cause I was very sad and didn’t want to eat or exercise but it gets less overwhelming emotionally over time? I still cry but not all day or everyday.
I love the format of all of your videos, but there's something about these "daily life" segments that make feel so...fluffy inside. Idk, it's like I'm living vicariously :')
I feel this. Like don’t get me wrong I love the content that they put out all the time over the last couple of years, but “daily life” is so wholesome and sweet I get a cavity just looking at it. It’s amazing.
I adore the honesty and openness you're putting into these videos! It's about Cream puffs, but we also get to see you guys light up around dogs, talk about your new dog dreams and fears, and just.. be in love with each other. So, so good. I love you guys.
I'm really liking this new 'vlog' format. I love the 'professional' food blogging videos too and terribly miss the sexy food porn shots with the sexy gravelly Martina narration, but I am living for this! Just seeing them interact and be normal gives such a clean non-manufactured look into what living in Japan is actually like... Most of all I have such a deep admiration over how much they've changed their video format over the years, it's just so interesting and fun!! Their videos are just. So. Much. Fun! Also I'm living for Martina's look and probably will totally copy her hairstyle in the nearby future... It's just so pretty..........
I love these like everyday videos, it's still just as good as the full pro edited videos. Just another perspective and style? Idk what I'm talking about but I just really enjoy these. I dont think you can ever just let go of your old pet and your love for them. My previous dog who was in my half of my life just died suddenly...first of all, you cant prepare for a death ever. And you can't be ready to "let go". I dont think we should ever let go of the love and memories. I still tear up even though we have a new dog and I love him just as much.
You'll never be 100% ready for a new dog. We lost our cat right before Valentine's day. She was just 3 years old, we did everything we could to save her but there was just nothing we could do. We ended up getting a kitten about a week later just because the silence in our house was deafening, we couldn't handle it in the slightest. Do I think I was ready for a new cat? No, but this little one deserved a good home. I love her with all of my heart, but I have cried and mourned Pixel every day. I, personally, take comfort in knowing that Pixel isn't hurting anymore and little Crepe Suzette here has found a home that will spoil her rotten. Just remember, it's not a replacement but an addition. You will get through this!
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your new addition provides you with some comfort as you go through the motions of grief, and thank you for finding it in your heart during such a difficult time to open your home to a kitten in need. Wishing you all the best.
@@NoName-fv3if Thank you dearly! Things are starting to look up for us and the kitten is spoiled rotten. When we find a bigger place to live, we'll bring more cats I need home. A house isn't a home without pets!
I'm the same. When we put down my dog the house was to empty, too quiet. We have another dog but she is old so the other one really brought life to the place. He was pure black so everything black reminded me of him, even garbage bags. I kept going over the moment we had to let him go and I wasn't exactly coping. It was a month after, and although I probably wasn't completely emotionally ready we got a new puppy. And I love him so much, I say he healed us. I stopped picturing my last dogs death all the time and although I missed him, and still do, my new dog is one of the best things in my life. It's not for everyone, and I understand that, but for me, getting new life into the house meant everything
I absolutely love this new format of your videos, I love the inside look into your lives, especially that you are both so absolutely beautiful inside and out, and your love is inspiring. This was an emotional roller-coaster though. I laughed out loud at the sausage squirting compilation, and then cried with Martina at the end. Whenever you decide to add to your furry family, you'll make one good boi the happiest boi too! Thank you so much for the video and helping me build my ladder!
seeing matina so sad for spudgy got me really hard with the feels, i get where shes coming from when i lost my first pup i was a so sad that even looking at other people with there dogs would make me cry. When i knew it was time to adopt another it did really did help me a lot
Brianna Castillo I lost my little guy 7 months ago and I still find it so difficult to see the pet aisle at the grocery store. I have to consciously avoid thinking about it.
Martina, when my childhood dog passed away when he was 13 I was very upset. I thought about him often and cried a lot. On a whim I adopted a puppy & it was the most healing thing. It didnt make me forget about my dog that I grew up with & called my bubby. I still think of him all of the time, But I had all of this love to give & I directed it toward this new little creature and it really helped me. You guys are wonderful pet parents and a doggy will be blessed to have you and I know a doggy will bless you back.
I suggest putting in coconut water into your green smoothies instead of just plain cold water guys! 😊it's healthy and gives a natural sweetness to your veg concoction and mask the taste of all the greens!
i can't tell you when you are ready to get another dog after losing spudgy 💔 but i can definitely tell you that you will be the greatest parents any animal could ever have ❤️❤️
I absolutely LOVE seeing this “normal” side of you guys. Everything from waking up to making coffee to enjoying a nice meal at a park to crying about dogs!! Everything is so amazing. We love you guys!
I’m so thankful about you two showing more of a daily life, as someone who struggles now going down stairs and just dealing with pain it’s so comforting to see someone else go through something similar. Also those Totoro cream puffs look like the best cream puffs, and I’m so happy I had breakfast while watching this lol.
HappyLoves they said what the name of the song towards the end in the day of their life video. I don’t remember the name but it’s in the section where Martina talks about how she edits the video.
I don't know if this will get seen, but for the smoothie in the mornings, I do: 1 banana 1 cup of kale 1 cup of spinach 1 cup of frozen assorted berries 1/2 cup of almond milk (ing. of just almonds and water) 1/2 cup of water (or ice) and cinnamon (which is also anti-inflammatory!) I have auto-immune disorders and I've taken out added sugars, preservatives, soy, gluten, etc. Turmeric and Cayenne are anti-inflammatory but I usually add those to my savory meals! Just some tips I've picked up! Lmk if anyone else has some good recipes for anti-inflammatory diets!
Miyako Akita i eat apples with lots of cinnamon. I use Vietnamese cinnamon. Adding nutmeg and lemon are good too. Not sure how anti-inflammatory (but I’ve heard no added sugar, non-gmo, & my mom has to avoid all wheat)
I just found out about this channel and got through the life and death of Spudgy in a very condensed way of, ooh videos, ooh what a great couple and their pets. Oh no the doggy, oh no... I have never been sadder for a pet I have only seen through a screen in the span of hours :( But on a happier note I have also never seen people get prettier the older they get, so kudos on that!!!
I cried when Martina cried. I miss Spudgy too so much. I sincerely think that loving one more dog is worth the pain of having to lose a pet over and over again. You guys will give it a good life with lots of love and happiness the way you did with Spudgy. RIP Spudgy, we love you.
I'm not sure how much of this feeling is from the fact you were eating Totoro puffs, but his video gave me Ghibli movie levels of purification. Pretty much the definition of your channel really
I love these “day in the life” videos. My neighbor Totoro was the first Ghibili film I ever saw and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Spirited Away comes in at a close second, because how can you not love those tiny soot sprites! 💕
Awww you got me crying Martina. :( aww precious soul. 💜💜 we ended up losing another one of cats and soon after a stray kitty came along. She's super loving and learns so quick. I'm glad y'all will give a doggie an incredible home with lots of love💜
I have been binge watching you channels now fow a few months (watching some of them over and over) and I have to say that your new format of showing the setup before the tasting of the food from waking up to the very emotional part about adopting a new dog is a great balance. From seeing your real life struggles, to the happy experiences and showing us beautiful Japan through all of it makes me like you both even more.
I definitely started crying when they talked about Spudgy. I've been watching since they were English teachers in Korea and Spudgy was the first animal i never met that I fell in love with. His little personality (and Martina's hilarious Spudgy voice) was a wonderful highlight to any video he popped up in. I was so very sad when he passed. But at least you guys have plenty of footage to watch of him when you're ready. My favorite is the reuniting video after you guys moved to Japan. Even as Spudgy got older and wasn't able to walk very well, he still got just as excited to see you guys when you walked in the door, waddling over as fast as he could for some lovins. He was such a wonderful boy, and you guys were great loving parents to him. I know you'll be the same for any other dog you get, in time. Don't be afraid to love again Martina! Also since this is already a long comment, I just wanna say that you guys are amazing people for opening up your lives like this. I've loved watching your videos for over a decade now and you guys are still one of my favorite channels. I love how silly and weird you are, and how genuine and real your content is. I really hope to meet you one day. Also I got soooooo excited when you moved to Japan because I've always wanted to go, and your videos give me a lot of confidence that I'll do okay there as a foreigner! So thank you, for years of wonderful, inspiring content. Keep on being amazing ❤💛💚💙💜
I don't comment a lot, but I'm so greatful for your videos. Especially lately they've been helping me build all the ladders after I messed up my hip. You guys never fail to make me feel happy.
I’m loving your recent videos so much!! The balance between casual/ real life stuffs and all these amazing things you share with us is great! Also I don’t know how you’d eat such an adorable treat as those Totoros!!!
I’ve been watching you guys since I was in 9th grade and now I’m 21 and binge watching all your Japan videos. I love y’all so much and how you love each other 😭😭❤️ God bless you guys ♥️
Oh my, I teared up the moment Simon said they were thinking about adopting another dog, then Martina did and it took all I had to not cry. I've had a good few pets, and currently own a dog we rescued (literally by my local pub - I feel like an Irish stereotype here) and just the thought of leaving him in a kennel for the first time since we got him just fills me with worry. I know that Spudgy would be delighted for you both to adopt another dog to shower with love, and Meemers to have a house companion again.
This insight into your daily lives has been so refreshing. I just listened to your latest podcast about influencers being genuine about their lives and experiences, and I just wanted to thank you both for always being so real. You just show who you are, and I’ve been so happy to watch you guys for the past 9 years. The laughter and tears and best moments you guys have shared with us makes the world a better place 🌈
This video is really beautiful. It was as casual, real and warm as a vlog with the professional editing and camera work that they developed over the years. Its truly unique and spectacular
Just know you gave him the best life a dog could ever have, and that he’s watching over you guys. You guys are amazing and so loving you gonna give the next pup a great life full of love.
Aw, when Martina cried. My childhood dog passed of old age years ago. After that I had a stray cat I had grown attached to, but he was hit by a car one day and came home to me just before he passed. 😢 I've not really been able to have my own pet since then.
I discovered ur Channel..for some reason you were on my feed.. anywho I'm 63 and I have IBS.. diverticulitis.. fibromyalgia... arthritis .anxiety... just to name a few things.. Have to get up and go to work every day and I don't have any spouse to encourage me ..so it's nice to see your husband trying to help you. you're very blessed...
Hi Simon and Martina! I’m sure this will get lost somewhere in all the comments but I really wanted to write to you somewhere! I’ve been watching you guys since the way back days of Martina’s instant ramen tutorials in South Korea :) you guys have helped me through so many rough times over the years and most recently through another round of ECT. Watching you guys always gives me hope for a better future and really keeps me pushing myself
I have loved you guys' videos for so many years, and I gotta say I really like the new adventure videos. That aside, this one hit me hard. When you guys broke down a lil over Spudgy I couldn't stop crying like I had lost my own pet. T_T At the same time I'm sitting here and I can't wait til you guys add a new pupper or doggo to the family.
I never 100% believe soul mates were possible until I saw you guys. I've been following you guys since the your guys's first apartment in Korea. enjoy following your guys's journey and you inspire me so much. 😊
You guys are really pure. I was in tears when I saw martina looking at the doggies...I’m so glad Simon was attentive and could see that too...this relationship is so precious...I’ve never look up to any couples more than you guys. It really makes me reflect about how I’m gonna live my life. Please stay healthy, both of you and I’ll be here praying for your happiness and safety.
Martina When You're Ready. Spougey is still too near. like my Misha. we had to let him go in September, it would have been his 14th birthday, we still overflow if we even mention him to each other. it takes time to mourn and heal. Sasha, Misha's twin brother, still has moments when I make the bed because Misha would 'help' me, near the end he tried to get Sasha to help me, but now it just triggers a sad day for Sasha if he sees me changing the bed. Mourn for Your Dear Departed One. when the Joy returns, then it's time. when you're ready
Even though you might be having a crappy day you still attempt to get up to make videos to make strangers happy and entertained. I really appreciate that.
I'm really enjoying this new style of filming you guys are doing. Mostly because it shows the ins and outs of how you guys prepare to go on a food adventure. It's really sweet and more personal, so thanks for sharing this style of content!!
Martina, I know it's insanely painful to lose a pet -- especially a dog as amazing and special as Spudgy -- but getting a new dog will do a lot to help fill the void of his loss. The new pup will never, ever replace Spudgy -- and that is never the goal in getting a new furry friend after our loved one has passed -- but it will bring back a part of your routine that is missing. It'll provide a new opportunity to love a new buddy and make new memories with them, to learn their personality and their quirks, to love them and be loved by them, and to make new routines, too! When my first dog passed away a little over a year and a half ago, having my second dog around, waiting for me when I got home already helped with the pain. When my first cat passed away years ago, having both my dogs and our other cat around was really helpful as well. I know there's no clear indication of when you are or are not ready to get a new animal after this kind of loss, but just know that you won't be insulting Spudgy's memory, or making light of anything no matter when you adopt a new guy (or girl ^^). Spudgy would want you guys to be smiling and having new adventures, right? :) P.S. When my dad's first dog passed away, he didn't get another dog for nearly 20 years or so. The time flew by before he even realized it, and it wasn't until I was a kid begging for one that he allowed himself to love another dog. To this day, he still talks about his boy, Cadi, with as much fondness as if the dog were next to him in that moment, and his love for that boy has never diminished. But the happiness that was brought back to his life with the arrival of his second ever dog is something priceless he wouldn't trade for the world.
I do the same smoothie but I offset it with sweetness from mango and pineapple and plain Greek yogurt - also I need to tell you how much I appreciate your videos, I marathoned your videos the last two days because I couldn’t physically get out of bed for very long, husband needed to physically carry me through the house from my pain
Hey, Congrats! A diagnosis is something not everyone gets! It may seem like receiving one sucks, but now you have a support group that understands your pain as well as the advice of how to overcome your daily suffering. Now you can attack the issue with everything you got and not throw punches in the air combatting it. Everyone here has your back in your battle!
You both gave Spudgy such an amazing life and shared his light with millions. I know he's looking down on you both and hoping that you can do the same for another dog. You know he wants nothing but your happiness because that's exactly what you guys gave to him.
Literally bawled my eyes at the last part. Lost my puppy of 11 years in November last year. It was the hardest decision of my life.. I remembered watching the video about spudgy and mourning with the both of you. They're more than just pets, they're family. I'm just happy for the next puppy you both adopt knowing it will be truly loved.
Oh Martina. :( I started crying when you started crying about Spudgy. Martina, I know its hard to move on and think about adopting another dog, but know that Spudgy will always be with you and Simon in your heart and memories. Like Simon said, think of how happy you two will make for another puppy who is waiting to be adopted by such a fun, loving, and wonderful couple like you two are. Know this -and if you ever read this I will be happy- nothing in the world can NEVER replace the love you two have for Spudgy. Like you have been sharing your love for your pets over the years, you can continue to share that love again with a new four-legged member to your family. I wish you two luck in finding a dog that will fit right into your cozy, warm, loving, and sweet home just like Spudgy did when he was adopted to guys. You are AWESOME!
So roday I took a day of from school... to do school related stuff. Learning for 3 exams and also writing my a-level papers. I was so exhausted and just wanted to cry, just to see your video. That sausage was just hilarious! Thank you for brightening my day! Seing how you two master daily life-struggles is so inspiring! Thank you! Love from Germany!
Hugs to you both. Spudgy can never be replaced but the greatest way to honor him is to let someone else into your hearts and lives. He showed you how special and wonderful it was to share your lives with him. Pass on the love he gave you to another little one. You can tell your new baby about his big brother :) and all his adventures.
@@eatyourkimchi I'm so glad, I know it's really hard to find motivation sometimes, I've been struggling recently, but watching you two always makes my day.
I really love this new style of video you guys have been doing! The perfect mix of your home/real life and fun adventures! It truly feels like spending the day with close friends, nothing and no one is perfect and your videos show that in the most wonderful way. Thank you for sharing and I love your editing style! 💜
I love how comfortable you are to talk with your subscribers like friends, you might never feel ready for a new dog but that doesn’t mean it isn’t the right time. You’ll know when it feels right ❤️
I got all types of emotional while seeing her play with the pups and then when she broke down AHHHHHHHH. ;; I've been watching you guys since the first spudgy videos and now... I'm excited for your new puppy adventure ^-^ you can do it!
I started crying when Martina started crying 😭 spudgy always in our hearts
Denisse Molina me too ..... ugly cry (i lost my puppy after Christmas) i fell her pain.
Omg same 😭😭😭 remember that i just lost my dog 2 weeks ago...
me to 😭
Saaaaame
Yup 😖💔
Spudgy will want you to be happy Martina.
Teared up seeing Martina and Simon talking about Spudgy. That little one was loved more than he could ever know. Your family won’t lose the memory of Spudgy but gain an additional one. Love you all!
I miss spudgy too! Your next dog will live such a great life ❤️
uh when Martina said "I'm in such a good mood today" that just added 1000 points of happiness to my heart 💖😊
This is probably the nicest RUclips comment section I've ever seen
It’s really nice here! We have a lovely community of good people here, many commenters we’ve seen throughout the years. Honestly, my favourite part about making a video is speaking with people in the comment section :)
It's definitely not by accident, they've put a ton of work into having a great, positive community. ^_^ Welcome! Stick around, enjoy the cats, sass, and great food adventures.
That sausage was fighting back.
I love that you guys are showing us more of your day to day routines. It makes the video more personable and genuine. Also as a long time dog owner i couldnt imagine being in a house without a pet. It just doesnt feel like a home to me imo. We all miss spudgy and we'll always remember him! I think giving a new dog a good loving home would be amazing!
For this week's adventure, we're heading over to the Totoro Cream Puff Factory in Kichijoji, and showing you a bit around our neighbourhood while we're at it :D
This is "cute girls doing cute things" in real life with a dothraki man warrior included. 1000/10
🤩😍
You guys are so great with your adventures!! Love
Exactly what I needed! This changed my day, thanks for the upload!
Yay now I have another place to visit in Kichijoji next week :D
It's taken me a bit to write this but I wanted to say how thankful I am Martina left the part about Spudgy and not being ready in. I hate to see you cry but it's almost comforting in a way to know other's go through those emotions
My fiance and I had a guinea pig for years, and the day before my fiance's birthday he suddenly showed he was very sick (guinea's being prey animals hide their illness' well)
We rushed him to the vet that day but ultimately had to put him down as there was no vet in a 4 mile radius who could treat small animals and the medicine we needed wouldn't arrive in time through the vet
A few months later, being we still had dogs we went a into pet shop and my fiance noticed some young guinea pigs and talked about getting one, and I started crying at the thought (I'm tearing up now thinking about it) and had to leave the store. I started bawling and couldn't handle the thought of being ready to take care of another, and felt almost guilty at the thought of getting another, like I was trying to replace him or forget what happened
But my fiance said the same thing Simon did and despite not doing anything that day I gave myself time to think over his words and we ended up adopting another guinea pig and while I miss Pippin (the one who passed) I know we're giving Hana all our love and spoiling her
And now I'm crying but it's worth it
Sorry this got so long, but really, thank you Martina. I know you miss Spudgy but thank you for showing this. I love these sort of 'imperfect' vlogs. The ones that are your true daily life and not how other vloggers may only show the perfect bits of their lives
The child screeching represented by the dinosaur was perfect! I love your edits!
Watching this was like hanging out with friends.
i started crying when martina started crying. You guys loved spudgy so much and he even connected with us so much.
you guys loved him full heartedly and another good boy deserves all the love in the world from you guys.
we support you 100% in this decision and cant wait to be introduced to a new puppers in your family.
spudgy isnt being replaced, he is approving your love to be shared.
I really adore these videos. When you guys show behind the scenes shots, show the beginning of your days, and to even show the sad parts like the end of your video. I can't wait to meet your new dog, whenever you guys are ready. I really appreciate you both so much. Thanks for sharing your life with us.
Thank you for watching!
dear martina,
getting a new pet after losing an old, beloved pet is very hard to do. personally, i felt like i was betraying my older dogs or 'replacing' them, but one thing about dogs is they always are happy when we are happy. spudgy would want you to be so happy. it might be too soon if you are still very upset, but the best advice i can give is to just peruse a shelter without the intent or thought of getting a new dog to see how you feel. a lot of times, my new dogs found me unexpectedly and won my heart. trust me girl, i cried with you. viva la spudgy xoxo
Ughhh I lost it when Martina was crying 😭😩 I want you to be happy girl 😔 and a Spudgy will never be forgotten.. I’ve been following you for so long now and I assure you he will never be forgotten 💜💜
lol
I really appreciate seeing the "normal" along with the extra fun stuff.
And I'm excited that you've decided to get a new dog at some point :) I remember when my first pup passed, knowing when to get a new fuzzy family member wasn't easy. But after about a week of having pup number 2, it was like she'd been there forever
I got my second fur baby this summer I’ll always miss Gina but Lulu is a sweetheart as well. I also have a chronic pain condition and having a fur baby with can make it less sad/lonely. Nothing can take away the pain of a pet passing and the first few months were extremely hard on my health cause I was very sad and didn’t want to eat or exercise but it gets less overwhelming emotionally over time? I still cry but not all day or everyday.
@Anonymous Anonymous Now they have a golden retreiver called Fudgy! You predicted the future!
I'm not crying... you're crying! 😢😭 Viva La Spudgy!
The dog scene is now so much more heartbreaking knowing what things are like now 😢 I hope that no matter what, these two are able to heal
I love the format of all of your videos, but there's something about these "daily life" segments that make feel so...fluffy inside. Idk, it's like I'm living vicariously :')
Richel Q. me too! I adore their food videos and TL;DR stuff but these slice of life vids are mah faveee
I feel this. Like don’t get me wrong I love the content that they put out all the time over the last couple of years, but “daily life” is so wholesome and sweet I get a cavity just looking at it. It’s amazing.
I feel this video penpal vibe? I'm not sure if people know what I mean.
I adore the honesty and openness you're putting into these videos! It's about Cream puffs, but we also get to see you guys light up around dogs, talk about your new dog dreams and fears, and just.. be in love with each other. So, so good. I love you guys.
I'm really liking this new 'vlog' format. I love the 'professional' food blogging videos too and terribly miss the sexy food porn shots with the sexy gravelly Martina narration, but I am living for this! Just seeing them interact and be normal gives such a clean non-manufactured look into what living in Japan is actually like... Most of all I have such a deep admiration over how much they've changed their video format over the years, it's just so interesting and fun!! Their videos are just. So. Much. Fun!
Also I'm living for Martina's look and probably will totally copy her hairstyle in the nearby future... It's just so pretty..........
I'm loving the kinda daily vlog style you guys have been doing lately
So do I
So do I! ~ Pam 😁
What an emotional video. I laught so hard with the sausage and then I cried when Martine cried.
I knew from the comments it was coming and then still bawled like a baby😭😭😭
I love these like everyday videos, it's still just as good as the full pro edited videos. Just another perspective and style? Idk what I'm talking about but I just really enjoy these.
I dont think you can ever just let go of your old pet and your love for them. My previous dog who was in my half of my life just died suddenly...first of all, you cant prepare for a death ever. And you can't be ready to "let go". I dont think we should ever let go of the love and memories. I still tear up even though we have a new dog and I love him just as much.
You'll never be 100% ready for a new dog. We lost our cat right before Valentine's day. She was just 3 years old, we did everything we could to save her but there was just nothing we could do. We ended up getting a kitten about a week later just because the silence in our house was deafening, we couldn't handle it in the slightest. Do I think I was ready for a new cat? No, but this little one deserved a good home. I love her with all of my heart, but I have cried and mourned Pixel every day. I, personally, take comfort in knowing that Pixel isn't hurting anymore and little Crepe Suzette here has found a home that will spoil her rotten. Just remember, it's not a replacement but an addition. You will get through this!
I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your new addition provides you with some comfort as you go through the motions of grief, and thank you for finding it in your heart during such a difficult time to open your home to a kitten in need. Wishing you all the best.
@@NoName-fv3if Thank you dearly! Things are starting to look up for us and the kitten is spoiled rotten. When we find a bigger place to live, we'll bring more cats I need home. A house isn't a home without pets!
nice way to look at it, furry friends can never be replaced ❤️
I'm the same. When we put down my dog the house was to empty, too quiet. We have another dog but she is old so the other one really brought life to the place. He was pure black so everything black reminded me of him, even garbage bags. I kept going over the moment we had to let him go and I wasn't exactly coping. It was a month after, and although I probably wasn't completely emotionally ready we got a new puppy. And I love him so much, I say he healed us. I stopped picturing my last dogs death all the time and although I missed him, and still do, my new dog is one of the best things in my life. It's not for everyone, and I understand that, but for me, getting new life into the house meant everything
CREPE SUZETTE IS THE CUTEST NAME
Ever since "A Day In Our Life" came out, I really enjoy your morning routines :)
Really like the format you guys are trying out ☺️
We're really having a fun time with this style :D
I absolutely love this new format of your videos, I love the inside look into your lives, especially that you are both so absolutely beautiful inside and out, and your love is inspiring.
This was an emotional roller-coaster though. I laughed out loud at the sausage squirting compilation, and then cried with Martina at the end. Whenever you decide to add to your furry family, you'll make one good boi the happiest boi too! Thank you so much for the video and helping me build my ladder!
So accurate
omg me too, i cried so much with martina!! and I also laughed out loud so many times. They're both so precious
Spudgy is never gone, he always live on our hearts #vivalaspudgy
seeing matina so sad for spudgy got me really hard with the feels, i get where shes coming from when i lost my first pup i was a so sad that even looking at other people with there dogs would make me cry. When i knew it was time to adopt another it did really did help me a lot
Brianna Castillo I lost my little guy 7 months ago and I still find it so difficult to see the pet aisle at the grocery store. I have to consciously avoid thinking about it.
I'm sure Spudgy would be extra proud if you saved another puppy and gave him a loving family instead of a life in a shelter 👍
Martina, when my childhood dog passed away when he was 13 I was very upset. I thought about him often and cried a lot. On a whim I adopted a puppy & it was the most healing thing. It didnt make me forget about my dog that I grew up with & called my bubby. I still think of him all of the time, But I had all of this love to give & I directed it toward this new little creature and it really helped me.
You guys are wonderful pet parents and a doggy will be blessed to have you and I know a doggy will bless you back.
I suggest putting in coconut water into your green smoothies instead of just plain cold water guys! 😊it's healthy and gives a natural sweetness to your veg concoction and mask the taste of all the greens!
Those sausage shots give a whole new meaning to "food porn." lol
Lunay LeZarde it’s like we’ve been waiting our whole RUclips lives to get that food porn shot 😂
😹😹😹😹
Documentary: Food Porn - When food bites back
@@eatyourkimchi there is a word for people like You! Meshiterro... learned it from Rachel and Jun
Everyone get yourself a man like Simon. He truly is the best man ever 💕
Except when I eat too much Sausage roll :D
Omg! You commented back this is a dream come true☺️ and hush a fluff man is a great pillow for snuggles when you need them
And moms, raise yourself a Simon so the future generation of our girls have better men than many of us had.
I was literally about to say this. I am a mess, and thank God I have the support of my husband. LADIES get u a man like Simon. Forealz
Me, I'm no guy. Using my guys RUclips. I'm like Simon.
Awwww Martina. The love you have for Spudgy deserves to go on. Honor him by giving that love to another lucky dog. ❤️
"sometimes, a very heavy challenge"
me: thinks simon's about to get deep
"and sometimes, it's very furry"
Dammit, meems.
Amazing! Living on RUclips pays off!! Don't need to be part of notification squad if you never leave.
Damn son never thought about it like that. Once you join you passed the initiation!
My life. Who needs notifications when you religiously check your favourite youtubers anyways?
Lmao
I love Martina's good and loving heart. Her ability to appreciate everything deeply just makes me glad that there are good people in this world.
i really like this format, please do more of it
i was also really happy to see martina have a good day and you guys enjoying it ❤️
i can't tell you when you are ready to get another dog after losing spudgy 💔
but i can definitely tell you that you will be the greatest parents any animal could ever have ❤️❤️
I absolutely LOVE seeing this “normal” side of you guys. Everything from waking up to making coffee to enjoying a nice meal at a park to crying about dogs!! Everything is so amazing. We love you guys!
I am sitting in my office and VIOLENTLY TRYING TO HOLD BACK LAUGHTER from the sausage juice squirt XD XD XD
I’m glad our suffering can bring you a giggle. DAMN YOU, YOU DELICIOUS JUICY SAUSAGE ROLL
I feel that I was watching the video with headphones in the middle of the library at my uni and was desperately trying not to loudly gasp and laugh
I choked on my dinner tbh those sentences had me dying hahaha!
Simon and Martina i can hear this comment 😂😂😂😂
I’m so thankful about you two showing more of a daily life, as someone who struggles now going down stairs and just dealing with pain it’s so comforting to see someone else go through something similar. Also those Totoro cream puffs look like the best cream puffs, and I’m so happy I had breakfast while watching this lol.
This is totally random but who wrote the song "baby when you move your body?" I want to know!!
HappyLoves they said what the name of the song towards the end in the day of their life video. I don’t remember the name but it’s in the section where Martina talks about how she edits the video.
Thank you!! @@bluedragon9410
I don't know if this will get seen, but for the smoothie in the mornings, I do:
1 banana
1 cup of kale
1 cup of spinach
1 cup of frozen assorted berries
1/2 cup of almond milk (ing. of just almonds and water)
1/2 cup of water (or ice)
and cinnamon (which is also anti-inflammatory!)
I have auto-immune disorders and I've taken out added sugars, preservatives, soy, gluten, etc. Turmeric and Cayenne are anti-inflammatory but I usually add those to my savory meals! Just some tips I've picked up! Lmk if anyone else has some good recipes for anti-inflammatory diets!
Miyako Akita i eat apples with lots of cinnamon. I use Vietnamese cinnamon. Adding nutmeg and lemon are good too. Not sure how anti-inflammatory (but I’ve heard no added sugar, non-gmo, & my mom has to avoid all wheat)
Martina is such a bright soul. To see her in pain breaks my heart. I love you Martina ❤️
Best couple ever, I'm so happy you guys are opening your heart for a new dog.
I just found out about this channel and got through the life and death of Spudgy in a very condensed way of, ooh videos, ooh what a great couple and their pets. Oh no the doggy, oh no... I have never been sadder for a pet I have only seen through a screen in the span of hours :(
But on a happier note I have also never seen people get prettier the older they get, so kudos on that!!!
Yes, their beauty really shines through!
I'm like 14 and a half minutes in and this videos is so good. I have been miserable at work but this actually made my day better.
Thankyou.
I cried when Martina cried. I miss Spudgy too so much. I sincerely think that loving one more dog is worth the pain of having to lose a pet over and over again. You guys will give it a good life with lots of love and happiness the way you did with Spudgy. RIP Spudgy, we love you.
I'm not sure how much of this feeling is from the fact you were eating Totoro puffs, but his video gave me Ghibli movie levels of purification. Pretty much the definition of your channel really
I love these “day in the life” videos. My neighbor Totoro was the first Ghibili film I ever saw and it will always hold a special place in my heart. Spirited Away comes in at a close second, because how can you not love those tiny soot sprites! 💕
Awww you got me crying Martina. :( aww precious soul. 💜💜 we ended up losing another one of cats and soon after a stray kitty came along. She's super loving and learns so quick.
I'm glad y'all will give a doggie an incredible home with lots of love💜
No Martina don't cry! I cry too! sending u a hug (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ
I have been binge watching you channels now fow a few months (watching some of them over and over) and I have to say that your new format of showing the setup before the tasting of the food from waking up to the very emotional part about adopting a new dog is a great balance. From seeing your real life struggles, to the happy experiences and showing us beautiful Japan through all of it makes me like you both even more.
I love how Simons outdoor fashion is pretty much exactly like how my great-grandfather used to dress 🤣
I definitely started crying when they talked about Spudgy. I've been watching since they were English teachers in Korea and Spudgy was the first animal i never met that I fell in love with. His little personality (and Martina's hilarious Spudgy voice) was a wonderful highlight to any video he popped up in. I was so very sad when he passed. But at least you guys have plenty of footage to watch of him when you're ready. My favorite is the reuniting video after you guys moved to Japan. Even as Spudgy got older and wasn't able to walk very well, he still got just as excited to see you guys when you walked in the door, waddling over as fast as he could for some lovins. He was such a wonderful boy, and you guys were great loving parents to him. I know you'll be the same for any other dog you get, in time. Don't be afraid to love again Martina!
Also since this is already a long comment, I just wanna say that you guys are amazing people for opening up your lives like this. I've loved watching your videos for over a decade now and you guys are still one of my favorite channels. I love how silly and weird you are, and how genuine and real your content is. I really hope to meet you one day. Also I got soooooo excited when you moved to Japan because I've always wanted to go, and your videos give me a lot of confidence that I'll do okay there as a foreigner! So thank you, for years of wonderful, inspiring content. Keep on being amazing
❤💛💚💙💜
I don't comment a lot, but I'm so greatful for your videos. Especially lately they've been helping me build all the ladders after I messed up my hip. You guys never fail to make me feel happy.
is your hip doing better???
@@omnomnom1 thank you! Im not entirely sure what happened to but it's slowly getting better
@@StarBunniDesigns yeah I know that feeling of getting injured and not knowing how lol! I hope you recover asap!!! ❤
I’m loving your recent videos so much!! The balance between casual/ real life stuffs and all these amazing things you share with us is great! Also I don’t know how you’d eat such an adorable treat as those Totoros!!!
I’ve been watching you guys since I was in 9th grade and now I’m 21 and binge watching all your Japan videos. I love y’all so much and how you love each other 😭😭❤️ God bless you guys ♥️
Oh my, I teared up the moment Simon said they were thinking about adopting another dog, then Martina did and it took all I had to not cry.
I've had a good few pets, and currently own a dog we rescued (literally by my local pub - I feel like an Irish stereotype here) and just the thought of leaving him in a kennel for the first time since we got him just fills me with worry.
I know that Spudgy would be delighted for you both to adopt another dog to shower with love, and Meemers to have a house companion again.
This insight into your daily lives has been so refreshing. I just listened to your latest podcast about influencers being genuine about their lives and experiences, and I just wanted to thank you both for always being so real. You just show who you are, and I’ve been so happy to watch you guys for the past 9 years. The laughter and tears and best moments you guys have shared with us makes the world a better place 🌈
This video is really beautiful. It was as casual, real and warm as a vlog with the professional editing and camera work that they developed over the years. Its truly unique and spectacular
I love that you guys are adding a behind the sence type thing with yiur videos. It feels so much more relatable
I love this style video! The little glimpses behind the scenes are awesome and heartwarming! Good to hear that you had a good day Martina!
Where is my "Don't skip the adds" team at?!
PS: Your videos will always give me life.
Feels train ALLABOARD! Martina you made me weep T_T people who loves animals are best people!
So wholesome I am crying. 😭💗
Just know you gave him the best life a dog could ever have, and that he’s watching over you guys. You guys are amazing and so loving you gonna give the next pup a great life full of love.
Simon looking like an angry, British cockney-accented chap. I love it 😂
Aw, when Martina cried. My childhood dog passed of old age years ago. After that I had a stray cat I had grown attached to, but he was hit by a car one day and came home to me just before he passed. 😢 I've not really been able to have my own pet since then.
I discovered ur Channel..for some reason you were on my feed.. anywho I'm 63 and I have IBS.. diverticulitis.. fibromyalgia... arthritis .anxiety... just to name a few things.. Have to get up and go to work every day and I don't have any spouse to encourage me ..so it's nice to see your husband trying to help you. you're very blessed...
Hi Simon and Martina! I’m sure this will get lost somewhere in all the comments but I really wanted to write to you somewhere! I’ve been watching you guys since the way back days of Martina’s instant ramen tutorials in South Korea :) you guys have helped me through so many rough times over the years and most recently through another round of ECT. Watching you guys always gives me hope for a better future and really keeps me pushing myself
I have loved you guys' videos for so many years, and I gotta say I really like the new adventure videos. That aside, this one hit me hard. When you guys broke down a lil over Spudgy I couldn't stop crying like I had lost my own pet. T_T At the same time I'm sitting here and I can't wait til you guys add a new pupper or doggo to the family.
I never 100% believe soul mates were possible until I saw you guys. I've been following you guys since the your guys's first apartment in Korea. enjoy following your guys's journey and you inspire me so much. 😊
martina, I cried when you cried. and i love how supportive simon is and how he's able to comfort you and make you smile again
Also, NOTIFICATION SQUAD! What's your favourite snack to have at the park?
Simon and Martina ice cream 🍦
Grapes
Doritos
Probably piattos, v-cut,
mang juan (Pinoy snacks)
you should try them! Haha
Ham sandwiches🍞
You guys are really pure. I was in tears when I saw martina looking at the doggies...I’m so glad Simon was attentive and could see that too...this relationship is so precious...I’ve never look up to any couples more than you guys. It really makes me reflect about how I’m gonna live my life. Please stay healthy, both of you and I’ll be here praying for your happiness and safety.
Martina When You're Ready. Spougey is still too near. like my Misha. we had to let him go in September, it would have been his 14th birthday, we still overflow if we even mention him to each other. it takes time to mourn and heal. Sasha, Misha's twin brother, still has moments when I make the bed because Misha would 'help' me, near the end he tried to get Sasha to help me, but now it just triggers a sad day for Sasha if he sees me changing the bed. Mourn for Your Dear Departed One. when the Joy returns, then it's time. when you're ready
I love how healthy you guys' relationship is!!! it's so refreshingly adorable!!!
Khana chi I know, right? They're part of my relationship goals.
Even though you might be having a crappy day you still attempt to get up to make videos to make strangers happy and entertained. I really appreciate that.
I'm really enjoying this new style of filming you guys are doing. Mostly because it shows the ins and outs of how you guys prepare to go on a food adventure. It's really sweet and more personal, so thanks for sharing this style of content!!
I saw Totoro, i saw cream puffs, I saw Simon and Martina and my brain was like... WATCH IT, WATCH IT NOW. And I was like...
Gladly.😂😁😍
Martina, I know it's insanely painful to lose a pet -- especially a dog as amazing and special as Spudgy -- but getting a new dog will do a lot to help fill the void of his loss. The new pup will never, ever replace Spudgy -- and that is never the goal in getting a new furry friend after our loved one has passed -- but it will bring back a part of your routine that is missing. It'll provide a new opportunity to love a new buddy and make new memories with them, to learn their personality and their quirks, to love them and be loved by them, and to make new routines, too! When my first dog passed away a little over a year and a half ago, having my second dog around, waiting for me when I got home already helped with the pain. When my first cat passed away years ago, having both my dogs and our other cat around was really helpful as well.
I know there's no clear indication of when you are or are not ready to get a new animal after this kind of loss, but just know that you won't be insulting Spudgy's memory, or making light of anything no matter when you adopt a new guy (or girl ^^). Spudgy would want you guys to be smiling and having new adventures, right? :)
P.S. When my dad's first dog passed away, he didn't get another dog for nearly 20 years or so. The time flew by before he even realized it, and it wasn't until I was a kid begging for one that he allowed himself to love another dog. To this day, he still talks about his boy, Cadi, with as much fondness as if the dog were next to him in that moment, and his love for that boy has never diminished. But the happiness that was brought back to his life with the arrival of his second ever dog is something priceless he wouldn't trade for the world.
I do the same smoothie but I offset it with sweetness from mango and pineapple and plain Greek yogurt - also I need to tell you how much I appreciate your videos, I marathoned your videos the last two days because I couldn’t physically get out of bed for very long, husband needed to physically carry me through the house from my pain
I got diagnosed with EDS yesterday and have just been in a daze. Thanks for the video!
Hey, Congrats! A diagnosis is something not everyone gets! It may seem like receiving one sucks, but now you have a support group that understands your pain as well as the advice of how to overcome your daily suffering. Now you can attack the issue with everything you got and not throw punches in the air combatting it. Everyone here has your back in your battle!
HelloJapan thank you very much! I think I’m just shocked that I finally managed to get an answer. I’m in a state of WOAH!
You both gave Spudgy such an amazing life and shared his light with millions. I know he's looking down on you both and hoping that you can do the same for another dog. You know he wants nothing but your happiness because that's exactly what you guys gave to him.
I’m not crying, you’re crying! (When you talk about Spudgy)
I could sense the Spudgy feels coming.
Literally bawled my eyes at the last part. Lost my puppy of 11 years in November last year. It was the hardest decision of my life.. I remembered watching the video about spudgy and mourning with the both of you. They're more than just pets, they're family.
I'm just happy for the next puppy you both adopt knowing it will be truly loved.
Tryna watch a 22 minute video in 5 mins before i leave for school
*this is what i call an intense sport*
I want my marriage to be as happy as yours 💛
Oh Martina. :( I started crying when you started crying about Spudgy. Martina, I know its hard to move on and think about adopting another dog, but know that Spudgy will always be with you and Simon in your heart and memories. Like Simon said, think of how happy you two will make for another puppy who is waiting to be adopted by such a fun, loving, and wonderful couple like you two are. Know this -and if you ever read this I will be happy- nothing in the world can NEVER replace the love you two have for Spudgy. Like you have been sharing your love for your pets over the years, you can continue to share that love again with a new four-legged member to your family. I wish you two luck in finding a dog that will fit right into your cozy, warm, loving, and sweet home just like Spudgy did when he was adopted to guys. You are AWESOME!
Simon, your facial hair looks great.
That squirting sausage made me laugh so hard.
So roday I took a day of from school... to do school related stuff. Learning for 3 exams and also writing my a-level papers. I was so exhausted and just wanted to cry, just to see your video. That sausage was just hilarious! Thank you for brightening my day! Seing how you two master daily life-struggles is so inspiring!
Thank you! Love from Germany!
Hugs to you both. Spudgy can never be replaced but the greatest way to honor him is to let someone else into your hearts and lives. He showed you how special and wonderful it was to share your lives with him. Pass on the love he gave you to another little one. You can tell your new baby about his big brother :) and all his adventures.
holy?! how did I get this early, I feel so blessed to have so many videos from you two
We're feeling rather productive lately!
@@eatyourkimchi I'm so glad, I know it's really hard to find motivation sometimes, I've been struggling recently, but watching you two always makes my day.
I really love this new style of video you guys have been doing! The perfect mix of your home/real life and fun adventures! It truly feels like spending the day with close friends, nothing and no one is perfect and your videos show that in the most wonderful way. Thank you for sharing and I love your editing style! 💜
I love how comfortable you are to talk with your subscribers like friends, you might never feel ready for a new dog but that doesn’t mean it isn’t the right time. You’ll know when it feels right ❤️
I got all types of emotional while seeing her play with the pups and then when she broke down AHHHHHHHH.
;; I've been watching you guys since the first spudgy videos and now... I'm excited for your new puppy adventure ^-^ you can do it!
