I never thought I’d cry and grieve the death of a dog 5,000 miles away but that’s how special Sherpa was. I lost my 15 year old pup a few months ago and it’s the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. You’re not alone Jamie and I believe God holds our babies in His arms. They are free from the pain of this world. God bless.
Loved watching Sherpa's escapades and will miss him dearly, I lost my 19 yr old Chihuahua last March my heart goes out to you Jamie, from Indiana, USA. I know it's hard to lose our beloved fur babies.
"sitting with dogs" Rocky Kanaka, has so many dedications to you both after a wonderful person gifted memberships in Sherpa's honour and wrote some truly beautiful words . I hope this message will be seen by Jamie or a family member one day and he realises how far afield and what an impact Sherpa has had on so many.
@@jomyb55 I saw that today. It's amazing how many people know and love Sherpa.

Dear Jamie, first please stop apologizing for taking the time to talk to us. Those of us who have experienced the loss of a fur baby know all too well well the stages of that particular grief and those who don’t love and admire you too. This kind of grief sucks, it hurts and it’s hard. But, I speak only for myself when I say you should absolutely without a doubt rely on us, your forever fans. You are the best dog dad and I admire the hell out of you strength and ability to let us share in your grief as we well loved Sherpa to. See you soon and all our blessings for healing. 😇 ❤🐾
Someday, when you're ready, there are dogs waiting to be loved and share their love. You can call them "Sherpa's Pack". It would be a living memorial to your beloved Sherpa.
That's what I did. After the Houston tornado, my Yogi brought me another pup to love and care for. He's the same breed - a clear sign that Yogi sent him to me. 2 weeks after her passing at 8 years old. It was too quiet in the apt, and he needed a home. God's timing!
I went through that pain with our 16-17 year old rescue (we had 12+ years with her) right before covid shut-down everything. Her cancer diagnosis gave us 3 more weeks of loving on her & preparing for the end, but it still was devastating. Then 1 night a few months later I dreamed of her, there was a news article about shelters having to figure out new ways to getting dogs adopted on the TV and she was looking at me and 'smiling' her big silly smile. I just felt her saying..."they need you, like I did. Help them." Now there are 2 that came from rough starts. And we still think of her often, not forgotten at all.
I can picture him getting up there too the forever green fields and my girls Bailey and Persephone greeting him and showing him around. I miss them every day, but over time their memories have started bringing me joy instead of sadness. I wish that for you as well. I’m glad you have an extensive video library of Sherpa to look at when you need to.
Yeah, I kind of imagined him running off into this wonderful field of treats and turning to see that Jamie isn't behind him thinking "Geeze, can't take this guy no where without him getting lost!" Then turning back to the field of treats. Next time he looks up Jamie will be with him. (Hope this doesn't come off as morbid or sad-not my intention)
Jamie God bless you. For a little time to come, you will find yourself repeating the routine you have had for the past 13 almost 14 years and this is nothing to be worried about and is perfectly natural: - Hearing Sherpa - Looking for Sherpa either in the bungalow or garden - Filling Sherpa's water bowls - Cooking/preparing Sherpa's food - Closing doors so Sherpa does not get trapped in a room - Laying down/straightening rugs so Sherpa does not slip - Cleaning Sherpa's dog beds All of these things and more, you will find yourself doing for a little while. It is called grieving and it cannot be ignored or fought against. It is natural and we are all here for you. You have not lost Sherpa, he will always be in your heart forever. And like you said in your video just now, it will always be "we". Do not ever apologise for "ranting". You are not ranting, you are simply talking and sharing your thoughts about our beloved Sherpa. I hope this donation helps towards giving Sherpa, the send off he deserves. God bless you Jamie.
At 71, I deal in lasts all the time. My last dog died 3 years ago. I had senior housing hold my pet deposit for a year. I am in a wheelchair and have 4 seasons to deal with. I didn't know if I could walk the path of life without a dog beside me, they just give so much to me. Finally, I came to the decision, that it would not be fair to my dog, to loose me and have to find a new home. Jamie, you are young & healthy...there is a dog out there who will love to be your pack...or maybe 2 to watch the shenanigans (ok I'm the devils advocate, LOL). Grieve well & hard, then go on your search for a new pal(s) for Sherpa's house. Life is to short.
Good decision. We have our last dog right now, "Shaak". He just turned 12 and we can tell he's winding down. We also decided not to get any more pets. We both have health issues, and we don't want to abandon a pet.
So can I. In many ways, at least in my heart, they really don't completely leave us. You are special to him, for him as much as he is for you. Let's be honest. Sherpa is very special to all of us.
I put my dog to sleep today. She was not walking, she was not eating and barely drank water. We did it at home, I was with her all the way so that she wouldn't be afraid or feel abandoned. She was the loveliest and kindest dog and I miss her so much. I hope that Sherpa and my baby are hving fun now on the rainbow
So very sorry for your loss, my condolences. Sending hugs & love 🤗💜

@@solomeyashiukashvili7113 I am so sorry for your sadness dear heart. I feel that it was a blessed tribute for you to do it in her home and with her Hooman family right by her side. May the coming days bring you peace and comfort in your heart. ❤️ 💜💗🐾🙏
I have been thinking of you and sherpa since yesterday. My heart hurts so bad. For a long time I saw my pup out of the corner of my eyes. He's with you. He will let you know. It's never easy to lose your fur baby.
@@SherpasDay yes. so glad you posted. my thought: you cannot replace Sherpa but I know you can fill the hole left albeit not completely, with a puppy just like Sherpa. true. Sherpa would smile. Love coming your way.
Jamie, we miss YOU too. Don't forget that. Half the reason we watched was because of your laughter and your kindness and your life. We are here for you as you grieve, it is a part of life we all go through. You are a kind, gentle man and we will always want to watch and share in your story. Much love.
Thank you so much for giving voice to what we all feel. We watched the videos for both Jamie and Sherpa. His love for Sherpa and for life kept us watching.
Jamie you've spent nearly 14 years giving Sherpa everything to make his life better and more comfortable. You built stairs for him. You bought him a special ramp. You built him a shelter for when it rains. You went shopping for a car based on Sherpa . You bought your house because It had a beautiful yard for Sherpa . You did everything for Sherpa possible and you have nothing to apologize for. I know you miss him deeply and so do I honestly. You're never going to stop missing him but the hurt will lessen over time. God bless you❤
I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out. I loved watching Sherpa and Key the best buddies. You are the best dad. I can't even imagine how you must be feeling. I have a 6 year old staffy cross pitbull who's my little baby and just the thought of not having him around any more has me in tears. Love and prayers from Sydney Australia.
Our pets, are our fur babies, our children and yes our lives are dedicated to their needs and the love grows every day. Just to see their eyes again, pet their fur, get a kiss. It just socks, sorry but the loss is immense, it's unbelievably earth shattering, like what do I do now!? What am I supposed to do right now, can't walk, how long can I look at her/his things here? Its been 2 months for me and I have to say, just as hard. I watch videos about dogs, and cry my freaking eyes out for all of the sad stories. Why? Am I thinking it will help in someway? Am I punishing myself for putting my Lulu down? Its all new, she was my first fur baby and although my retired life is boring, quiet and she gave me purpose I don't know if I can get another dog. Many say that's what I need, it will help. Rescue or adopt and your heart will be again healed, well I am not sure. I know I am rambling on here, my apologies. Just typing what comes in my thoughts. Hugging all who have been through this horrible horrible loss💜🖤🩶😭😭
What a beautiful sentiment, When my Anastasia left this world, I was in shock, the tears were unimaginable then one day I found myself Smiling about her antics! Jamie you will too! ❤
I cannot believe that I have so many tears about the loss of this magnificent dog. You were a person who took the responsibility of owning a dog to heart and to make his life as comfortable as possible for as long as possible. But, I am crying. I never got to hug him. I never even met him in person, yet I am grieving his loss. Just know . . . you have tremendous support and people who admire you for the life that you were able to give to the well-being of that dog. Yes, you need time to process this grievous loss. My heart goes out to you.
25 years since I lost Bingo and I still tear up at the sight of a black lab. Sherpa will always be there and will occasionally show up in dreams etc.. But the pain will pass and you will have wonderful memories. After a period of mourning, you should probably get another dog. Sherpa cannot be replaced but you can still love. It took me several years to realize that. When I finally adopted another dog, I loved him and found that I no longer had that empty hole in my heart. And Sherpa would not want his lovely garden to be wasted.
I was able to get another dog after losing my staffy I just longed for that companionship , I'm sure there are some wonderful rescue Husky's Jamie could look into. The pain doesn't go away but I'm sure Sherpa would be glad to see him give another dog a loving home x
Jamie you aren’t alone. There are thousands of people who loved Sherpa and who love you for letting us be a part of your life with him. I can’t believe he’s gone. ❤❤
I'm right there with you. Lean on us, Jamie. I have not stopped crying. I have never had a dog. Your relationship with Sherpa made me want to foster. This has touched me deeply. My foster dog arrives Monday. I pray I will be a good foster mom. I will be leaning on lots of advice, it's definitely needed.
I am crying my heart out for you I have been thru it so many times and it never gets easier such a big void I loved him too and he can give you signs that he is still with you spiritually
It's been 15 years since we lost our boy. His ashes are in a velvet bag, inside a wood photo box with my favorite photo of him in the frame. Do not apologize for your feelings! ❤
Same. Lost my boy back in February. Still have days where I’m sad. But, he’s here, right in front of me. He was 15 years old, and it’s tough living without someone, he was a someone, after all those years. 🌹
My Emily's ashes are also in a blue velvet bag with part of the Rainbow Bridge poem embroidered in it. The bag is in a special handcarved teakwood box. I held onto a small teddy bear that had a prayer cloth around its neck, given to me by my closest cousin, for comfort. It was with me in my home wherever I was, even on a pillow next to me in bed. I could put my face in its fur, and with eyes closed, it felt just like Emily's fur. She was a cat, so of course there were no captured scents of her on anything. I had her for 19 years, so I was fortunate to have her loving companionship for as long as I did. Even though she's been gone 12 years, I can still hear little mews she made when carrying her favorite long braided piece of yarn to bring to me when I was in another part of the house. She would drop it, and I would wrap it loosely around her neck. She would take off running with it, bouncing off the walls until finally she had recovered her string again. Being here in the comments and reading everyone's condolences and sympathies has been comforting to me as I am sure it has been to Jamie. I was so glad to see Jamie's post today even though I started crying all over again. I am so glad to hear he plans to continue to post. I am ordering a box of sympathy and thinking of you cards to start sending Jamie. I hope he gets as many as the 6,000+ comments that are attached to this video. I will give him virtual hugs of encouragement. Jamie was the best dog dad of anyone I've ever known. He's a very special person to all of us. We are all feeling sad for Jamie right now. I'm so happy we have hundreds if not thousands of videos of Sherpa we can look at forever. Thank you to all the fans of Sherpa and Jamie for your expressions of love here. 🫂🐾🌈💔🕊
I agree. But their smell goes away with time no matter what you do. 🤷 I tried. Put a piece of fabric with the scent in a zip-loc thinking it would be trapped in there. One year later I found the bag again. Opened it, and........nothing. 😞 It smelled like a band new zip-loc bag. 😞
The only good thing about their lives being so short is that they go before us. We don't have to worry about them being abandoned. They don't have to feel the loss. We feel the pain instead of them. Sherpa was loved so much and that's all he knew. Love.
You have joined the Universal Society of Grief For A Lost Pet. We understand, we have been through it, cried for days, grieved unmercifully. Some of us have been through it more than once. As long as you remember him he will always been with you.
I lost Dexter, my shepherd-husky mix. He went the same way as Sherpa. Watched your channel and cried like a child. Our lab mix Gunner misses him still and my life is still not the same. Love you all. I still talk to him at night when I'm alone. I swear sometimes he's right with me. Every day is a gift with a dog. So is every memory. And the sense of presence. Our love and prayers are with you.
Jamie, Please don't rush to remove Sherpa's things. You will do it when you know it's time. It's a lovely idea to search for a very special urn for Sherpa. Once again, you are pampering Sherpa, and he loves that. Your house feels empty. We all feel that way when we've lost, a fur baby. Our prayers are with you.
Speaking from experience, store his things in a nice chest so they are kept safe. Sherpa will gladly want you to donate them to the next dog in your life. Or dogs, as a shelter would be delighted to be gifted such things. Whatever you think Sherpa would like best. 😊
I have been on the verge of tears for days over Sherpa, a dog I never met and who lives on the other side of the world. I am so glad I got to know him. He has been a blessing to so many. RIP sweet boy.
“A good dog never dies. He always stays. He walks beside you on crisp autumn days when frost is on the fields and winter’s drawing near. His head is within our hand in his old way.” Mary Carolyn Davies All love to you, a great dog is in our hearts.
The first two weeks after I lost my boy I could literally see him in every corner of my house, I thought I was losing my mind. Later, I realized how strong my grief was. This was almost a year and a half ago. I still have his toys, his brushes and his feeding bowls. I also still mentally say goodbye and hello whenever I leave or come back in the house. Some things will never change, no matter how much time it passes. Take your time Jamie, and talk to us if your feeling bad or nostalgic about Sherpa. In a way, we're grieving with you
My Buffy has been gone for six years and I still feel her with me. She has a little brother she has never met but I swear she taught him a few things 😂
Jamie thank you for sharing your emotions with us! It’s tough but you are right, once you get Sherpa back home the healing will truly begin. I’ve had to say good bye to 8 pups in my 57 years! It’s never easy but hopefully you will get another pup to enjoy Sherpas garden. You are not alone & we are all here to help you through this final chapter of Sherpas incredible life! Much love from Las Vegas NV💕🙏💕🐶
My hubby and I sit out on our deck in the evenings and last night we lit a candle for Sherpa. I hope he saw our little light shining, he is loved from all over the world. Thinking about you Jamie.
I know people are going to disagree with me, but Jamie, there are so many orphaned pups. You have a world of love to give. Don't wait too long hon. Think about spreading that love again. Nothing will ever replace Sherpa, but you have a massive heart.
Agree totally, too soon now but in time you could think about it a new chapter, it isn't a betrayal, Sherpa wouldn't want you to be unhappy and alone and a new friend whether it's a puppy or a rescue older dog could bring you joy again xxx
i say when hes ready to do so. i lost mine not too long ago and i still get very upset. at the same time, i really miss having that companion to be there for me when im upset. sadly i cant get another dog till i move since it just wouldnt be right to move states and put a dog through that. i have no idea when that will be. i do agree that i hope he does decide to give another a home and start a new adventure.
just because he isnt physically here doesnt mean he isnt with you! he will always be with you mate until the day you get to reunite take as much time as you need to grieve and heal sending you all my love
Please know this. Even though Sherpa is not there physically with you, he is ALWAYS with you. If you feel or hear him, then know that he is, truly, there. We are all made up of energy, animals included, Energy never dies. It just changes form. I hope this brings you some solace. Sherpa knows he was loved. ❤️🐕
This. It has been almost 2 years and I still talk to my love every day. Sometimes you feel them more or less strongly, but they are always with us while they are off other adventures. As Beth Bigler says, our relationship continues ❤
Don't fight back the tears. They'll stop one day when they've done their work in you. It's a very generous gift to share this process for those who are or will be where you are at some point.
We love u and Sherpa, bring him home. Take your time honey, we are here if you want to talk. Don't apologize, you lost your child and you will always hear him because he is apart of you.
I lost my husky. I had to put her down due to cancer. I was the most devastated I have ever been. They give you a purpose to your life. Without them, you feel lost. The unconditional love they give is unmatched. I didn’t put away any of my husky’s things for quite some time. I even left her paw prints on the seats of my car until they didn’t look like paw prints anymore. And her nose smudges on the car windows. You will still feel and hear Sherpa around you, which is both comforting and sad all at the same time. You will even see him out of the corner of your eye. You were a blessing to him as much as he was to you. I wish all dogs had the kind of home and love you gave to Sherpa. ❤❤
He IS with you. He observe you. He see his garden. He let his place for an other PET to live there and with you. New LOVE new Life. You have so much LOVE in you, give It for a puppy again. All the best
Jamie take however long it takes to grieve. Time DOESN'T heal all wounds it just puts space between the bond that you shared and the pain that you feel.😢 That is the price we pay for loving and being loved by a dog. He brought you joy love laughter and precious memories. And that was worth more than the pain. Love, Prayers and hugs to you.💔
It's being a fun nearly 8 years of seeing Sherpa. Since nearly 2016, hearing his barks, howls, and his love of K'eyush, travel and chicken balls. His soul never leaves, just like my late chihuahua, Jack. A true husky soldier Thank you, Sherpa and Batdog ❤
You have all the right to cry whenever you want, even if it is in front of the camera. You will always cry when talking about him. Each corner it is a memory and that is what kill our hearts. I was there 4 years ago, with mine. It took me several weeks to clean her staff. I got a beautiful, special box and put all her belongings in there, toys, blankets, collar, a piece of her hair, etc). Everything was smelling like her and after 4 years, each time I opened the box, I still can smell her. Sending you a virtual hug!
Jeez, I started tearing up in the first 5 seconds. How special is it that people all over the world fell in love with a dog and his person. ❤. We lost our Corgi, Elly, in 2013 and we still talk about her.
I still see my little cat on the stairs at night from time to time. I also heard her and felt her jump on the bed often, after she had passed. I just know that Sherpy will be with you, and you will see, hear, feel and smell him a lot of times. He wouldn’t leave you Jamie 🐾💙 xxx
Jamie, be patient with yourself. Keep the blanket for comfort. We kept our husky’s favorite toy. It remains in our sitting room to this day. We lost our Prince in 2012. We buried him in our back yard. . We miss him daily but we know he is with us and we will see him again one day.
I’ve lost 5 dogs now and have all of their ashes in nice wooden boxes . Long before I lost my mom to cancer, I joked with her that I was going to put her box next to my boys. When she knew she wasn’t going to beat the cancer, she made sure to tell me she really wanted to be with her beloved grand dogs. I have a rescue dog now. He is half husky and has beautiful blue eyes. I wasn’t really ready for another dog, but he was meant to be. I feel like my late dog sent him to me.
I KNOW that my precious PAWSOME and PAWFECT SAM, sent me my next dogs. He, apparently, gave them all the inside scoop on being here on my farm, cuz they fit in PAWFECTLY, immediately, and they just KNEW all the tips and inside tricks that Sam had learned. 🥰
I also lost my dog last November. I was not ready for another dog but he was a rescue and he is also half husky and his eyes called to me. I named him Storm because that was the name my other dog had by the breeder. Storms bio on the rescue sight seemed to fit what I was looking for and I know my old man sent him to me heck he probably gave him a run down when I got him home.
Jamie, this is just a small token of my gratitude. Thank you for sharing that beautiful boy of yours with the world! Thank you for being there for me when I lost my Dad, who loved Sherpa as much as I do! I can smile knowing that they have finally gotten to meet! My Mom and I share in your grief and send all of our love and support. You were the best dad ever! And Sherpa will never be forgotten!
He’s always going to be there Jamie, it was Sherpa’s house and always will be, he’s just going to watch over you until you’re ready for another companion and then he’ll pick a special fur baby for you and you’ll see him again in that fur baby. They never leave us, they just retire to the special treat corner in our hearts and watch over us until we’re reunited again ❤❤❤
I have a list of souls I pray for. Not that I think they need prayers, but it's my way of saying hello, I have not forgotten you and I love you. Past pets and special pets that others have lost are included. Just want you to know Sherpa is included. I'm so glad we have not lost touch with you. You are wise to balance things you used to do with Sherpie as a way of helping you to grieve, with things you can now do that you couldn't do when you had Sherpie. It was a brave,unselfish and very loving thing you did for him at the end. We love you, Jamie.
In 1986 I was given a 3 week old kitten. I had him for 17 years before I had to put him to sleep. I cried solid for 4 days and grieved for well over a year. Then I got another kitten and loved her for another 12 years. I hope one day you will get another companion that you can love as much as you did Sherpa.
We've had to put 5 of ours down over the span of 20 years. All for different diseases. You never ever get over it. It does get a little easier with time. So cry, scream, and hollar as much as you want. When you get ready for another pup, you will know. I know you will be the best dog dad to the next one, too! It will be different, believe me. It will still be a special love. I've cried and cried over Sherpa, and I never met him. I felt like I did. I'm in the USA, and people will probably make fun of me, but I don't care. When you cry, I'm right there with you. RIP Sherpa.
There are a lot of us who loved Sherpa without actually meeting him. We have all gone thru the pain of losing a much loved fur friend. We are here for Jamie, whether he just needs to vent, cry, scream about how unfair it is, whatever! I hope we also get to share his new fur friend when he is ready. I don't think Sherp would let him be alone for long.much love!
We are all crying I'm on the otherside of the world yet like you I loved all of Sherpa's videos of all the adventures because seeing him helped with the passing of my dogo a few years back.
Dear Jamie, please understand that what is happening to you has happened to all of us that have lost our fur babies. I lived alone, and I sat on the couch and cried for hours because I had no reason to get up anymore. I did take small amounts of her ashes and buried them in all her favorite places in the yard. Her remains are labeled “No longer by my side, Forever in my heart.“ A loss like this will take down the strongest of men. You are our only connection to Sherpa and we will always be there for you. Hard to believe at the moment, but life does go on.❤
Jamie. You gave Sherpa such a wonderful life, full of adventures, love and care. He loved his new garden and is now soaring in the heavenly realms. He will always be in your heart. That bond of love and care is eternal. It really is. Your grief is totally natural and normal, a process none of us want to go through but have to because it is a healing process. Once over, see how you feel. There are plenty of dogs that need a loving home. Sherpa will always be remembered by you and your viewers with love and deep affection. He is physically gone but his soul will always live on.
After our 14 yr old dog passed, we thought we’d travel… we lasted 4 weeks in our house without a furbaby. We didn’t replace our old boy, but we rescued a pup from a kill shelter and it did fill up our heart with a new joy, a new purpose, a new soul to take on adventures. Dogs are such amazing companions, any dog would be extremely lucky to have a dad like you ❤️
Same here, I lost my 15yr ,Kizzy Leroy, right before Thanksgiving last year. My husband was bound and determined to wait and travel and such but we only made to Feb 1. Now we have Jensen and Misha( if you know you know)😊
The right time will vary for each of us. After I lost my first cat, it was 3 months before I rescued a pair. One of them died 3 yrs later. I rescued another 5 months later. 10 yrs later, I lost them both - 10 and 17 - 6 months apart. That was nearly 9 yrs ago. I'm still waiting for the right time.
As someone who rescues dogs, thank you. People always say they’re not ready.. but your dog who passed sends you the dog you find. Btw.. pro tip, rescue 2. If I didn’t have my husky when my 18 year old died… I literally wouldn’t be here right now to write this. And so many huskies would not be here either. I couldn’t save my boy… so I save others in his name.
Take your time, Jamie. There is not a timeline or due date for grieving. I hope that the tears we all cry for you and Sherpa will lessen those that you shed, but don’t apologize for feeling the way you do. My personal belief is that someday, you will see a pup that reminds you of Sherpa in a way that no one can explain. If or when that happens, don’t be sad - it will be Sherpa, returned to make sure you’re alright. Keep the love and let it overcome the sadness! Give sister Sarah a huge hug from all of us as well! We miss her and would love to see you both together again!
I'm so sorry that you lost Sherpa. I'm a spiritual medium who has spoken with animals on the other side. And one of the messages I receive repeatedly is the love animals have for their people. You won't see Sherpa in the physical, but he's with you in spirit. I know that doesn't relieve the grief because the grief is a journey. I'm happy to see that your followers are keeping you in their hearts and sending you love. Sherpa has left a legacy through the videos and the RUclips channel.He has not only had a strong loving presence in your life but in the lives of your viewers. But yeah, it hurts a lot to lose your fur companion.
Don’t apologize for crying, crying is designed to help us make it through and heal. He will always be there with you patrolling his garden. Take care Jamie. Sending you love and prayers. ❤🙏
You know, you may not see him but he isn’t gone. He is not only in your heart but also in ours. I know we didn’t know him to touch but he has left a giant paw print in our hearts. ♥️
He will still be around you for weeks, Jamie. I went through it with my 13 yr old Briard, Barney, and felt sure he was there. I turned and saw and heard him for weeks on end. My heart goes out to you and your beautiful boy, who's just on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, wagging his tail, knowing you love him. There is no loss like that of a lovely dog we've shared our hearts & homes with.
The sadness never ever leaves after our little furry darlings go. Ten year on, I still cannot walk down the aisle of the dog food section at the supermarket……for quite a few months I was exhausted from just crying, my heart broken. I, and so many other people know exactly what Jamie is feeling, loss, sadness, loneliness and just living in a world of pain. When does it end, if ever!🐕
That’s a good idea, taking his blanket to bed. When my husband’s body died I put his unwashed t shirts down with our fur ones. The howls and yowls really decreased. And a couple days after our beloved cat of over 20 years crossed over my husband and I were watching TV in bed and both sat bolt upright at the same time. When I asked him why, after he’d rolled back over, he said “Thought I felt a cat jump up over there” & jerked his head to the exact spot I’d felt a cat jump up. This went on for a couple months until I suppose she felt we’d be ok. The more recent crossing of our dog & cat hasn’t come with anything like that. I think they’re too busy with my husband. Hugs to you and to Sherpa.
Sherry, your beloved Briard is still with you, just resting till he feels you need his help, then you will notice his loving presence again. Their unconditional love is forever.
Sherpa bright me joy, as have all of my own dogs. I'm adjusting to life without my Daisy or indeed any dog, as my health has forced me into a new chapter of my life. My new meds leave me numb, physically and emotionally, so I've been unable to mourn my sweet girl. I resent the hell of it. I need to curl into a ball and sob my heart out for days, for all ways she took care of me and all the happiness she brought me. Thank you for sharing Sherpa with us, and I'm sorry to the depths of my soul for your loss. Remember my girls, too. Ashley, Raven, Molly and Daisy
Dear Jamie..You get thousands of comments so you probably won't see this one but just in case you do I want to thank you and Sherpa for helping me back to health after a life threateneing mountain bike accident. Your videos helped keep my sprits up during a long and painful recovery. Now You will need help to heal. I too have lost a "Heart" dog and know how painful that is. The hurt doesn't go away but it lessens with time. Please keep us informed as you move through your recovery time. Just know that you and Sherpa made so many of us happy and we are all pulling for you!
Please know that you are nor alone in mourning Sherpa. People you don't know, near and far...thousands of miles away are mourning the loss of Sherpa with you. Love and Hugs from Colorado, USA ❤x
My heart goes out to you. One of the most difficult things for a dog parent to accept is the fact you will most likely outlive your pet. My husky is 6 years old now, and I get extremely emotional even thinking about having to go through what your experiencing right now. However, one thing that brings me comfort is; I would only trust myself to look after my Juno as his health starts to decline, and knowing when they would want you to set them free to the other side. I plan to keep my Juno’s ashes until I expire, then I want our ashes put together and scattered as one, together. I've lost my mother, family members, etc. Yet nothing tears me up more then the thought of saying goodbye and having to let go of my boy. My sincere condolences, you have Sherpa a beautiful, happy, fulfilling life, healthy life. I feel your pain.
My son brought home a husky malamute mix and I figured he was crazy. I found sherpa and key and realized my dog wasn't crazy. This is normal behavior. Thank you for that. I have lost some great dogs over the years and I can say you never forget them. You have all these videos of you and your best friend. Grief is a strange thing. It will hit at different times. I wish you peace in this time.
When you smelled his blanket I completely lost it. My pitbull left me at the age of 14. My heart broke. She was amazing. A couple of years after, I found her collar and I smelled it and I swear I smelled her. I cried so hard. They are our babies, and our best friends. Amazing creatures and we are blessed by their presence in our lives. It is hard to let go but they depend on us to take care of them in life and letting them go as gently as possible when we know they are suffering is also taking care of them. You did good Jamie. You are in my prayers.❤
After my Boston Terrier died this past January, I kept his collar and the last piece of clothing he had worn before he was put down. I put that sweater in a zip loc bag and put it away for safe keeping. I have his ashes in a small wooden memory box in my room with a picture of him to watch over me.
My cat, who used to shed like crazy, had a spot behind the curtain to watch the world. Months later when I went to take them down to wash them, the curtain liner had a cat-back-shaped hairy shadow. It peeled off like a mat, and it smelled of him. I hadn’t the heart to throw those things out. It’s in a plastic bag in beside his ashes, along with his favourite “mouse” and one of his shed whiskers that I’d found when vacuuming.
You do not need to apologize to us. Your feelings are valid. You gave him the best life and you shared Sherpa with us. Thanks for sharing Sherpa with us.
Jamie Sherpa is watching over you! He's looking after you, he's there. We buried our family dog in our yard and planted a fruit tree over him. The tree flowers and fruits every year. Watering the tree, fertilizing it, pruning it, just taking care of it keeps our bond alive. Maybe you could also have a Sherpie tree in that big, beautiful garden that Sherpa loved! A big hug to you. ❤
@@SherpasDay you did everything you could and more he knows that but he just looks like he was in so much pain, but you gave him everything you could do and that’s love
Sherpa would want you to get another puppy, Jamie. He knew you're a fantastic dad whose heart is full of love that needs to be shared with another pup who needs it most. He wouldn't want you to be lonely. He'll happy when you're happy. Don't be sad, Jamie. As a paw parent who lost my boy very suddenly, I can totally relate but Milo - my boy - would want me to carry on spreading my love with other deserving cats (sorry, he is not a dog, but love is love).
I lost both my dogs last year within six months of each other both over 13 yrs. I swore no more too heartbreaking... But someone told me dogs are only here for a short time because they live and love every day they don't worry about the future, and would want you to fill the empty space in your heart with another pup. You loved him for his lifetime and will miss him for the rest of yours. 💔
Oh Jamie my heart is breaking for your loss he was such a special dog I have my mylo and I would be in bits if I lost him they get into your heart he was a special dog thank you for sharing him with us it will get better the pain will get easier sending you all my love😢
Jamie, please fill your heart with another dog sooner than later. Yes, grieve for Sherpa, but you must live on. It's not disrespectful to Sherpa to share your love with another dog.
He'll still be close but you won't be able to see him. My little dog used to always give me a kiss as soon as I opened my eyes every morning. Not long after he passed, one morning as I woke I felt a breeze over my lips, I looked to the window but it was shut so there was nowhere a breeze could come from. I believe he was still giving me a morning kiss.
The pain you feel in your heart after losing a beloved fur baby, is the spirit of you baby curling up to rest in your heart. They are always with you. Their memories of them will one day bring smiles to your face and heart. Prayers of peace for all who love Sherpa. 💕💕
Jamie there is no time limit on when to remove Sherpa’s belongings. You will know when the time is right. Grief is different for everyone, no apologies needed for yourself. Sherpa is embedded in our hearts forever and we have all gone through this on our own at one time or another. Our pets become family, our fur babies. You have all these memories on video and can revisit them anytime. Know we are here for you as well and will always cherish the videos with Sherpa. We will continue to watch and support you as always. Thoughts and prayers are with you. 🙏🙏❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️❤️
totally agree. @SherpasDay Take your time, Jamie. I recommend you don't rush through removing Sherpa's belongings. Don't let anyone push you to "clean up" right away (not that I think anyone would but some do). I eventually donated some of my girl's stuff and some unopened food to a local animal shelter in need. I held onto a favorite plush toy and few items that I still cherish.
He doesn't have to remove or give away any of Sherpa's things if they bring him comfort! I still have my Boxer dog Star's manky old tennis ball...Vergil (my cavachon ) loves it and I like to think Star is Vergil's guardian
Crying again, as soon as you smelt his blanket I was gone 😢. My heart breaks with you Jamie. I'm grateful you allowed Sherpa to be part of all of our lives too. Will miss him dearly
Everyone who's ever had a pet and faced that loss knows exactly what you're going through. We're all here for you. I'm so happy you made that beautiful animated video of Sherpa, "The Snowdog and the Robin". It's a perfect way to remember him. Somehow, that's how I picture his spirit now.
We lost our beagle, Buddy, to cancer 12 years ago, and we still talk about what a good and funny dog he was. Our dog now, a rescue senior dog, is starting to get sick more often. Like you, we do everything we can for her but at 17 and a half years, we know the time is going to come. She has a DNR order in her chart at the vet. THAT was the first hard decision. Now we make sure that she is comfortable and happy every day that we have left. Might be 1 more day, or still more years to go. We rescued Brooklyn about 6 months after Buddy passed. Sherpa has not left you, he has gone to a place where he is always young, always happy, always by your side. Your love for Sherpa will always keep him by your side. I'm praying for you daily, Jamie. Your compassion is enormous. ❤❤
I'm a grown ass military man (retired) and I cried watching you video. I never had dogs, cats only but the few I had that passed still touched me deeply. Much love from Canada.
Dear Jamie, wishing you all the best. Its beyond hard to lose your beloved furred friend. When our Erza passed away ( she was almost 19, a cat), EVERYWHERE you look you see her/him because they were with you for so long. Take your time to heal and get used to it, even though that sucks. You gave everything to Sherps and he loved you to bits for it.
Jamie no dog can replace Sherpa or the memory of Sherpa. However, there are so many dogs that need to be adopted. What your life, your house and your garden needs is a DOG. Given time, I think you will see this as well. In the mean time a Sherpa Help Fund for your local shelter might be a good path forward. Shelters always need supplies. They perhaps could use your talent at taking pictures of pets to help get them adopted as well. Later on perhaps that shelter needs a fantastic dog walker. Almost all my dogs over the many years of my life have been rescues. They are so grateful to finally get a loving person to live with.
Keep talking Jamie it's good for you. Everyone is thinking about you all over the world. You are in someone's thoughts. Yesterday's video was so touching when you smelled his blanket.Time is a great healer, but we never forget.All of a sudden, out of nowhere, you will think of him. He's in the wind. He's in the rustle of the trees. He's that unexplained noise. Wherever you are, he will be close by. The bond between a man and a dog can never be broken even in death.
I lost my dog during the pandemic, it was very hard to make the decision to let him go. I want you to know that your videos with Sherpa helped me during those times and I wanted to thank you for that. Sherpa was loved by people all over the world and will always be remembered with love and we are here if you need us!
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Sherpa was an amazing friend, and I'm so glad to have been allowed to watch his adventures with you. Take good care of yourself, Jamie.
I never thought I’d cry and grieve the death of a dog 5,000 miles away but that’s how special Sherpa was. I lost my 15 year old pup a few months ago and it’s the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life. You’re not alone Jamie and I believe God holds our babies in His arms. They are free from the pain of this world. God bless.
I know, I’ve lost my boy and it’s hard
Loved watching Sherpa's escapades and will miss him dearly, I lost my 19 yr old Chihuahua last March my heart goes out to you Jamie, from Indiana, USA. I know it's hard to lose our beloved fur babies.
"sitting with dogs" Rocky Kanaka, has so many dedications to you both after a wonderful person gifted memberships in Sherpa's honour and wrote some truly beautiful words .
I hope this message will be seen by Jamie or a family member one day and he realises how far afield and what an impact Sherpa has had on so many.
@@bonniewatson178I lost my boy March 22. The pain is raw. This site allows me to grieve with others who are grieving.
@@jomyb55 I saw that today. It's amazing how many people know and love Sherpa.
Dear Jamie, first please stop apologizing for taking the time to talk to us. Those of us who have experienced the loss of a fur baby know all too well well the stages of that particular grief and those who don’t love and admire you too. This kind of grief sucks, it hurts and it’s hard. But, I speak only for myself when I say you should absolutely without a doubt rely on us, your forever fans. You are the best dog dad and I admire the hell out of you strength and ability to let us share in your grief as we well loved Sherpa to. See you soon and all our blessings for healing. 😇 ❤🐾
Beautifully put.
I totally agree bless you jamie❤❤❤❤❤
Hugs. 💗
Agree 100% ❤
The luv is forever 2❤😢
Someday, when you're ready, there are dogs waiting to be loved and share their love. You can call them "Sherpa's Pack". It would be a living memorial to your beloved Sherpa.
Beautiful
Jamie, hopefully soon as a new pet is out there who needs your loving care and it will help you in your grief ❣️
That's what I did. After the Houston tornado, my Yogi brought me another pup to love and care for. He's the same breed - a clear sign that Yogi sent him to me. 2 weeks after her passing at 8 years old. It was too quiet in the apt, and he needed a home. God's timing!
When you’re ready Sherpa wants you to be happy. He will always be with you cx
I went through that pain with our 16-17 year old rescue (we had 12+ years with her) right before covid shut-down everything. Her cancer diagnosis gave us 3 more weeks of loving on her & preparing for the end, but it still was devastating. Then 1 night a few months later I dreamed of her, there was a news article about shelters having to figure out new ways to getting dogs adopted on the TV and she was looking at me and 'smiling' her big silly smile. I just felt her saying..."they need you, like I did. Help them." Now there are 2 that came from rough starts. And we still think of her often, not forgotten at all.
My hands never pet him
My arms never hugged him
Though I never met him
My heart sure did love him
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE This
That's beautiful 🌻
Omg this is beautiful! Makes me wanna cry..
YES!! Exactly!
How lovely I cried for Sherpa 💗 poem is a wonderful tribute.
Jamie, you gave Sherpa roots, and you gave him wings. You've done him proud. He's howling your praises to all the other pups who've crossed over.
Thankyou 💙 😢
I can picture him getting up there too the forever green fields and my girls Bailey and Persephone greeting him and showing him around. I miss them every day, but over time their memories have started bringing me joy instead of sadness. I wish that for you as well. I’m glad you have an extensive video library of Sherpa to look at when you need to.
and propably howling at the heaven gate guard too "luv you!" :')
Yeah, I kind of imagined him running off into this wonderful field of treats and turning to see that Jamie isn't behind him thinking "Geeze, can't take this guy no where without him getting lost!" Then turning back to the field of treats. Next time he looks up Jamie will be with him.
(Hope this doesn't come off as morbid or sad-not my intention)
@@vinawaldren6888
Not to me, it’s a very sweet idea and kinda how I hope it works.
Jamie God bless you. For a little time to come, you will find yourself repeating the routine you have had for the past 13 almost 14 years and this is nothing to be worried about and is perfectly natural:
- Hearing Sherpa
- Looking for Sherpa either in the bungalow or garden
- Filling Sherpa's water bowls
- Cooking/preparing Sherpa's food
- Closing doors so Sherpa does not get trapped in a room
- Laying down/straightening rugs so Sherpa does not slip
- Cleaning Sherpa's dog beds
All of these things and more, you will find yourself doing for a little while. It is called grieving and it cannot be ignored or fought against. It is natural and we are all here for you.
You have not lost Sherpa, he will always be in your heart forever. And like you said in your video just now, it will always be "we".
Do not ever apologise for "ranting". You are not ranting, you are simply talking and sharing your thoughts about our beloved Sherpa.
I hope this donation helps towards giving Sherpa, the send off he deserves.
God bless you Jamie.
And God bless you, Gary, for your compassionate words- expressing what we all want to say🙏
Gary, what a generous gift and a lovely message too. 💙
Gary that is so kind & lovely of you . God bless you you have a true giving heart. ❤
@GaryG1974 , what a lovely gesture to Jamie. Hopefully, Jamie will use some of this to choose a lovely urn to remember beautiful Sherpa by. ❤❤
You are so kind and giving. Thank you.
Sherpa left his garden, his things, and his human to another pup...you will meet that puppy in due time. Just miss Sherpa for now. :)
At 71, I deal in lasts all the time. My last dog died 3 years ago. I had senior housing hold my pet deposit for a year. I am in a wheelchair and have 4 seasons to deal with. I didn't know if I could walk the path of life without a dog beside me, they just give so much to me. Finally, I came to the decision, that it would not be fair to my dog, to loose me and have to find a new home. Jamie, you are young & healthy...there is a dog out there who will love to be your pack...or maybe 2 to watch the shenanigans (ok I'm the devils advocate, LOL). Grieve well & hard, then go on your search for a new pal(s) for Sherpa's house. Life is to short.
Good decision. We have our last dog right now, "Shaak". He just turned 12 and we can tell he's winding down. We also decided not to get any more pets. We both have health issues, and we don't want to abandon a pet.
@@janesawyer3495 you are so very sweet and thoughtful , wish more were this responsible 🥰
The most unfair thing in the world is that our most loyal and loving companions don’t live as long as we do.
very true
True
So not fair.
❤💯% agree!
I’ve thought the same. My only answer is that they couldn’t live if we left them first. But I still wish they were with us longer.
You will always hear and sense him about. We don’t own pets. They own us. We just look after them
I definitely can 😊
So can I. In many ways, at least in my heart, they really don't completely leave us. You are special to him, for him as much as he is for you. Let's be honest. Sherpa is very special to all of us.
He'll give you a sign when he's ready Jamie. He's resting... ❤
@@SherpasDay ❤❤❤🫂🫂
When tomorrow starts without me. Don't think we're apart. For every time you think of me. I'm right here in your heart -Sherpa
Omg!! You're gonna make me cry 🥺🥺
Not that tiktok sound 😭 You're gonna make me cry! It's lovely though
So hurt
Us. I know personally.the loss of a pet. God Bless
Cherish all the good times
I put my dog to sleep today. She was not walking, she was not eating and barely drank water. We did it at home, I was with her all the way so that she wouldn't be afraid or feel abandoned. She was the loveliest and kindest dog and I miss her so much. I hope that Sherpa and my baby are hving fun now on the rainbow
So very sorry for your loss, my condolences. Sending hugs & love 🤗💜
@@solomeyashiukashvili7113 I am so sorry for your sadness dear heart. I feel that it was a blessed tribute for you to do it in her home and with her Hooman family right by her side. May the coming days bring you peace and comfort in your heart. ❤️ 💜💗🐾🙏
I have been thinking of you and sherpa since yesterday. My heart hurts so bad. For a long time I saw my pup out of the corner of my eyes. He's with you. He will let you know. It's never easy to lose your fur baby.
It's so tough isn't it 😢
@@SherpasDay yes. so glad you posted. my thought: you cannot replace Sherpa but I know you can fill the hole left albeit not completely, with a puppy just like Sherpa. true. Sherpa would smile. Love coming your way.
@@SherpasDay have you heard from your family, what do they say.? well what can they say.
@@tommas2674too early
Me too, our Mac died last year and we felt him for ages after
Jamie, we miss YOU too. Don't forget that. Half the reason we watched was because of your laughter and your kindness and your life. We are here for you as you grieve, it is a part of life we all go through. You are a kind, gentle man and we will always want to watch and share in your story. Much love.
❤
💛🐶🫶
❤❤
Thank you so much for giving voice to what we all feel. We watched the videos for both Jamie and Sherpa. His love for Sherpa and for life kept us watching.
Agreed. ❤
Jamie you've spent nearly 14 years giving Sherpa everything to make his life better and more comfortable. You built stairs for him. You bought him a special ramp. You built him a shelter for when it rains. You went shopping for a car based on Sherpa . You bought your house because It had a beautiful yard for Sherpa . You did everything for Sherpa possible and you have nothing to apologize for. I know you miss him deeply and so do I honestly. You're never going to stop missing him but the hurt will lessen over time. God bless you❤
I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out. I loved watching Sherpa and Key the best buddies. You are the best dad. I can't even imagine how you must be feeling. I have a 6 year old staffy cross pitbull who's my little baby and just the thought of not having him around any more has me in tears. Love and prayers from Sydney Australia.
Our pets, are our fur babies, our children and yes our lives are dedicated to their needs and the love grows every day. Just to see their eyes again, pet their fur, get a kiss. It just socks, sorry but the loss is immense, it's unbelievably earth shattering, like what do I do now!? What am I supposed to do right now, can't walk, how long can I look at her/his things here? Its been 2 months for me and I have to say, just as hard. I watch videos about dogs, and cry my freaking eyes out for all of the sad stories. Why? Am I thinking it will help in someway? Am I punishing myself for putting my Lulu down? Its all new, she was my first fur baby and although my retired life is boring, quiet and she gave me purpose I don't know if I can get another dog. Many say that's what I need, it will help. Rescue or adopt and your heart will be again healed, well I am not sure. I know I am rambling on here, my apologies. Just typing what comes in my thoughts. Hugging all who have been through this horrible horrible loss💜🖤🩶😭😭
What a beautiful sentiment, When my Anastasia left this world, I was in shock, the tears were unimaginable then one day I found myself Smiling about her antics! Jamie you will too! ❤
@@lwilliams781 thank you❤️❤️
The hurt doesn't lessen over time...we just get used to it being part of our life
I cannot believe that I have so many tears about the loss of this magnificent dog. You were a person who took the responsibility of owning a dog to heart and to make his life as comfortable as possible for as long as possible. But, I am crying. I never got to hug him. I never even met him in person, yet I am grieving his loss. Just know . . . you have tremendous support and people who admire you for the life that you were able to give to the well-being of that dog. Yes, you need time to process this grievous loss. My heart goes out to you.
25 years since I lost Bingo and I still tear up at the sight of a black lab. Sherpa will always be there and will occasionally show up in dreams etc.. But the pain will pass and you will have wonderful memories.
After a period of mourning, you should probably get another dog. Sherpa cannot be replaced but you can still love. It took me several years to realize that. When I finally adopted another dog, I loved him and found that I no longer had that empty hole in my heart. And Sherpa would not want his lovely garden to be wasted.
I was able to get another dog after losing my staffy I just longed for that companionship , I'm sure there are some wonderful rescue Husky's Jamie could look into. The pain doesn't go away but I'm sure Sherpa would be glad to see him give another dog a loving home x
Sherpa not Sheppard
@@rhondablake4286 no one has put sheppard
AUTO-correct can be sneaky, rhonda, it happens....@@rhondablake4286
I also remember my two black lab's, I will never forget them no matter how many years have passed.
Jamie you aren’t alone. There are thousands of people who loved Sherpa and who love you for letting us be a part of your life with him. I can’t believe he’s gone. ❤❤
I'm right there with you. Lean on us, Jamie. I have not stopped crying. I have never had a dog. Your relationship with Sherpa made me want to foster. This has touched me deeply. My foster dog arrives Monday. I pray I will be a good foster mom. I will be leaning on lots of advice, it's definitely needed.
Oh Jamie I am so sad for you I hope you get a visual of him his dpirit
I am crying my heart out for you I have been thru it so many times and it never gets easier such a big void I loved him too and he can give you signs that he is still with you spiritually
I'm totally agree with you.
My prayers and thoughts go out to Jamie and your family!
It's been 15 years since we lost our boy. His ashes are in a velvet bag, inside a wood photo box with my favorite photo of him in the frame.
Do not apologize for your feelings! ❤
Same, se have a box, photos, on a specially created table for him. Still crushes me, he was my right hand.
Dear Jamie u should be proud of the love and care u gave the gorgeous Sherpa
Lost our husky last year, his ashes and collar sit on shelf over my tv chair now.
Same. Lost my boy back in February. Still have days where I’m sad. But, he’s here, right in front of me. He was 15 years old, and it’s tough living without someone, he was a someone, after all those years. 🌹
My Emily's ashes are also in a blue velvet bag with part of the Rainbow Bridge poem embroidered in it. The bag is in a special handcarved teakwood box. I held onto a small teddy bear that had a prayer cloth around its neck, given to me by my closest cousin, for comfort. It was with me in my home wherever I was, even on a pillow next to me in bed. I could put my face in its fur, and with eyes closed, it felt just like Emily's fur. She was a cat, so of course there were no captured scents of her on anything. I had her for 19 years, so I was fortunate to have her loving companionship for as long as I did. Even though she's been gone 12 years, I can still hear little mews she made when carrying her favorite long braided piece of yarn to bring to me when I was in another part of the house. She would drop it, and I would wrap it loosely around her neck. She would take off running with it, bouncing off the walls until finally she had recovered her string again.
Being here in the comments and reading everyone's condolences and sympathies has been comforting to me as I am sure it has been to Jamie. I was so glad to see Jamie's post today even though I started crying all over again. I am so glad to hear he plans to continue to post. I am ordering a box of sympathy and thinking of you cards to start sending Jamie. I hope he gets as many as the 6,000+ comments that are attached to this video. I will give him virtual hugs of encouragement. Jamie was the best dog dad of anyone I've ever known. He's a very special person to all of us. We are all feeling sad for Jamie right now. I'm so happy we have hundreds if not thousands of videos of Sherpa we can look at forever. Thank you to all the fans of Sherpa and Jamie for your expressions of love here. 🫂🐾🌈💔🕊
Thanks!
Thankyou so much Yvette!! That's really kind of you 💙
PS, It's an absolute privilege to be here for you to "chat" to whenever you want/need/can 🤗
Yes! It is indeed! Gosh, I love this community ❤
Don't wash his stuff/blankets so that you can have his smell with you and hold it near you whenever you miss him.
Yes i agree
❤
I agree.
But their smell goes away with time no matter what you do. 🤷
I tried. Put a piece of fabric with the scent in a zip-loc thinking it would be trapped in there.
One year later I found the bag again. Opened it, and........nothing. 😞 It smelled like a band new zip-loc bag. 😞
Sherpa is letting you know he's still with you.
😢😊
Hang on there, Jamie, just hang on..
The only good thing about their lives being so short is that they go before us. We don't have to worry about them being abandoned. They don't have to feel the loss. We feel the pain instead of them. Sherpa was loved so much and that's all he knew. Love.
Don't wash the blanket Jamie, you need to sniff him now and again, much love to you and we are all with you through this sad time 🙏xxx
Keep the blanket until the smell fadded to nothing.
@@Judith-eq9pd yes, keep the blanket in a sealed polythene bag to help retain Sherpa's smell a little longer 🐕🦺🐕🦺💔💔🦴🦴🦴
You have joined the Universal Society of Grief For A Lost Pet. We understand, we have been through it, cried for days, grieved unmercifully. Some of us have been through it more than once. As long as you remember him he will always been with you.
Jamie, we all didn’t just watch for Sherpa. We all watched because you’re like a friend from a far. This content is so healing.
I lost Dexter, my shepherd-husky mix. He went the same way as Sherpa. Watched your channel and cried like a child. Our lab mix Gunner misses him still and my life is still not the same. Love you all. I still talk to him at night when I'm alone. I swear sometimes he's right with me. Every day is a gift with a dog. So is every memory. And the sense of presence. Our love and prayers are with you.
Jamie, Please don't rush to remove Sherpa's things. You will do it when you know it's time. It's a lovely idea to search for a very special urn for Sherpa. Once again, you are pampering Sherpa, and he loves that. Your house feels empty. We all feel that way when we've lost, a fur baby. Our prayers are with you.
Yes. You will know when it’s time.
Absolutely
4 years later my dog’s dishes are still out. And we have a new pup. Just can’t my last dog was a favorite of everyone!
My dogs christmas toys still come out every year and go under the tree @@rachela.5451
Speaking from experience, store his things in a nice chest so they are kept safe. Sherpa will gladly want you to donate them to the next dog in your life. Or dogs, as a shelter would be delighted to be gifted such things. Whatever you think Sherpa would like best. 😊
I have been on the verge of tears for days over Sherpa, a dog I never met and who lives on the other side of the world. I am so glad I got to know him. He has been a blessing to so many. RIP sweet boy.
“A good dog never dies. He always stays. He walks beside you on crisp autumn days when frost is on the fields and winter’s drawing near. His head is within our hand in his old way.” Mary Carolyn Davies

That is so beautiful!
💖💖💖
This is deep ❤
I love that, omg more waterworks coming❤
The first two weeks after I lost my boy I could literally see him in every corner of my house, I thought I was losing my mind. Later, I realized how strong my grief was. This was almost a year and a half ago. I still have his toys, his brushes and his feeding bowls. I also still mentally say goodbye and hello whenever I leave or come back in the house. Some things will never change, no matter how much time it passes. Take your time Jamie, and talk to us if your feeling bad or nostalgic about Sherpa. In a way, we're grieving with you
Crying helps Jamie, don’t be afraid to cry in front of friends and family. Talking about it helps. Thinking about you🙏
4 years later and I still see my boy Thor every once in a while, peeking at me like he used to. Love ya bud. Take care of yourself.
15 yrs and still miss mine. 🙏
Oh yes. You still look and check, just in case.
I love that 😊😊
I still hear Sammy snoring ❤😢
My Buffy has been gone for six years and I still feel her with me. She has a little brother she has never met but I swear she taught him a few things 😂
Jamie I’m so sorry about sherpa
Me too 😢
And I, from Oklahoma, USA!😢😢😢💔💔💔💕💕💕🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sherpa is now in summit watching us from above❤😢 Stay strong jamie love from nepal
@@SherpasDay, nothing to be sorry about. You spread the joy of him around the world. Missing him is expected but never be sorry.
Jamie thank you for sharing your emotions with us! It’s tough but you are right, once you get Sherpa back home the healing will truly begin. I’ve had to say good bye to 8 pups in my 57 years! It’s never easy but hopefully you will get another pup to enjoy Sherpas garden.
You are not alone & we are all here to help you through this final chapter of Sherpas incredible life! Much love from Las Vegas NV💕🙏💕🐶
Sherpa was the first dog I followed especially during Covid. You got me through it. RIP sweet boy❤
My hubby and I sit out on our deck in the evenings and last night we lit a candle for Sherpa. I hope he saw our little light shining, he is loved from all over the world. Thinking about you Jamie.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wunderschön ♥️
What a lovely thing to do ❤❤
I know people are going to disagree with me, but Jamie, there are so many orphaned pups. You have a world of love to give. Don't wait too long hon. Think about spreading that love again. Nothing will ever replace Sherpa, but you have a massive heart.
💯
Agree totally, too soon now but in time you could think about it a new chapter, it isn't a betrayal, Sherpa wouldn't want you to be unhappy and alone and a new friend whether it's a puppy or a rescue older dog could bring you joy again xxx
Yes maybe someday that would be great ❤
I do hope he gets a new pup, and takes us all along the new journey that he has with the pup.
i say when hes ready to do so. i lost mine not too long ago and i still get very upset. at the same time, i really miss having that companion to be there for me when im upset. sadly i cant get another dog till i move since it just wouldnt be right to move states and put a dog through that. i have no idea when that will be. i do agree that i hope he does decide to give another a home and start a new adventure.
what happens next is that he has his full voice back & it's about to get a lot less quiet up there
😂 I hope so
He is up there demanding chicken balls from the angels.
just because he isnt physically here doesnt mean he isnt with you! he will always be with you mate until the day you get to reunite take as much time as you need to grieve and heal sending you all my love
Don't stop talking to us. We love you and Sherpa. We are here to listen. Please know that we all support you.
Please know this. Even though Sherpa is not there physically with you, he is ALWAYS with you. If you feel or hear him, then know that he is, truly, there. We are all made up of energy, animals included, Energy never dies. It just changes form. I hope this brings you some solace. Sherpa knows he was loved. ❤️🐕
I agree with this. He's with you, 100%.
That is so beautuful ❤
What a beautiful and comforting comment. ❤ Sherpa is an angel and will always be with Jamie and his family and friends.
This. It has been almost 2 years and I still talk to my love every day. Sometimes you feel them more or less strongly, but they are always with us while they are off other adventures. As Beth Bigler says, our relationship continues ❤
No truer words 💜
Sherpa is absolutely there. You will see him when you least expect it. Sherpa would never let you grieve alone. Xxx
Thankyou 💙 😢
Yes.. he koved Jamie so much and he doesn't want him to suffer..dogs are the purest form of unselfish love
Don't fight back the tears. They'll stop one day when they've done their work in you. It's a very generous gift to share this process for those who are or will be where you are at some point.
We love u and Sherpa, bring him home. Take your time honey, we are here if you want to talk. Don't apologize, you lost your child and you will always hear him because he is apart of you.
Aw me too 😢😊
@@SherpasDay anytime.. hugs
Lovely words Deb.
@@lulumoon6942 thanks, my heart is breaking like everyone else's
You just lost a child a family member. You raised him from a baby. Grieve as long as you want. No rush . Take your time. ❤❤❤Phoenix and Chewbacca mum
I lost my husky. I had to put her down due to cancer. I was the most devastated I have ever been. They give you a purpose to your life. Without them, you feel lost. The unconditional love they give is unmatched. I didn’t put away any of my husky’s things for quite some time. I even left her paw prints on the seats of my car until they didn’t look like paw prints anymore. And her nose smudges on the car windows. You will still feel and hear Sherpa around you, which is both comforting and sad all at the same time. You will even see him out of the corner of your eye. You were a blessing to him as much as he was to you. I wish all dogs had the kind of home and love you gave to Sherpa. ❤❤
@@00KMB00 I’m so sorry for the loss of your husky, Luv. 🙏❤️🩹
@@moxievintage1390❤
Beautifully said.
He IS with you. He observe you. He see his garden. He let his place for an other PET to live there and with you. New LOVE new Life. You have so much LOVE in you, give It for a puppy again. All the best
Jamie take however long it takes to grieve. Time DOESN'T heal all wounds it just puts space between the bond that you shared and the pain that you feel.😢 That is the price we pay for loving and being loved by a dog. He brought you joy love laughter and precious memories. And that was worth more than the pain. Love, Prayers and hugs to you.💔
It's being a fun nearly 8 years of seeing Sherpa. Since nearly 2016, hearing his barks, howls, and his love of K'eyush, travel and chicken balls. His soul never leaves, just like my late chihuahua, Jack. A true husky soldier
Thank you, Sherpa and Batdog ❤
Thankyou Gabriel 💙
yep the chicken balls
You have all the right to cry whenever you want, even if it is in front of the camera. You will always cry when talking about him. Each corner it is a memory and that is what kill our hearts. I was there 4 years ago, with mine. It took me several weeks to clean her staff. I got a beautiful, special box and put all her belongings in there, toys, blankets, collar, a piece of her hair, etc). Everything was smelling like her and after 4 years, each time I opened the box, I still can smell her. Sending you a virtual hug!
I am so sorry
The Batdog!😢
Jeez, I started tearing up in the first 5 seconds. How special is it that people all over the world fell in love with a dog and his person. ❤. We lost our Corgi, Elly, in 2013 and we still talk about her.
Sherpas Spirit will always be with you. You may hear him or feel him.. He loved you and you loved him.
Thankyou John 💙
I still see my little cat on the stairs at night from time to time. I also heard her and felt her jump on the bed often, after she had passed. I just know that Sherpy will be with you, and you will see, hear, feel and smell him a lot of times. He wouldn’t leave you Jamie 🐾💙 xxx
Jamie, be patient with yourself. Keep the blanket for comfort. We kept our husky’s favorite toy. It remains in our sitting room to this day. We lost our Prince in 2012. We buried him in our back yard. . We miss him daily but we know he is with us and we will see him again one day.
I’ve lost 5 dogs now and have all of their ashes in nice wooden boxes . Long before I lost my mom to cancer, I joked with her that I was going to put her box next to my boys. When she knew she wasn’t going to beat the cancer, she made sure to tell me she really wanted to be with her beloved grand dogs. I have a rescue dog now. He is half husky and has beautiful blue eyes. I wasn’t really ready for another dog, but he was meant to be. I feel like my late dog sent him to me.
I KNOW that my precious PAWSOME and PAWFECT SAM, sent me my next dogs. He, apparently, gave them all the inside scoop on being here on my farm, cuz they fit in PAWFECTLY, immediately, and they just KNEW all the tips and inside tricks that Sam had learned. 🥰
I also lost my dog last November. I was not ready for another dog but he was a rescue and he is also half husky and his eyes called to me. I named him Storm because that was the name my other dog had by the breeder. Storms bio on the rescue sight seemed to fit what I was looking for and I know my old man sent him to me heck he probably gave him a run down when I got him home.
Jamie, this is just a small token of my gratitude.
Thank you for sharing that beautiful boy of yours with the world! Thank you for being there for me when I lost my Dad, who loved Sherpa as much as I do! I can smile knowing that they have finally gotten to meet! My Mom and I share in your grief and send all of our love and support. You were the best dad ever! And Sherpa will never be forgotten!
Should be donating to an animal shelter..
He’s always going to be there Jamie, it was Sherpa’s house and always will be, he’s just going to watch over you until you’re ready for another companion and then he’ll pick a special fur baby for you and you’ll see him again in that fur baby. They never leave us, they just retire to the special treat corner in our hearts and watch over us until we’re reunited again ❤❤❤
That’s so lovely. 😢😢
Thankyou I hope so 😢😊
Very beautifully said.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@AbiRobinson Your beautifully spoken, very wise words are perfect. 🙏❤️🙏
I have a list of souls I pray for. Not that I think they need prayers, but it's my way of saying hello, I have not forgotten you and I love you. Past pets and special pets that others have lost are included. Just want you to know Sherpa is included. I'm so glad we have not lost touch with you. You are wise to balance things you used to do with Sherpie as a way of helping you to grieve, with things you can now do that you couldn't do when you had Sherpie. It was a brave,unselfish and very loving thing you did for him at the end. We love you, Jamie.
In 1986 I was given a 3 week old kitten. I had him for 17 years before I had to put him to sleep. I cried solid for 4 days and grieved for well over a year. Then I got another kitten and loved her for another 12 years. I hope one day you will get another companion that you can love as much as you did Sherpa.
We've had to put 5 of ours down over the span of 20 years. All for different diseases.
You never ever get over it. It does get a little easier with time.
So cry, scream, and hollar as much as you want. When you get ready for another pup, you will know. I know you will be the best dog dad to the next one, too! It will be different, believe me. It will still be a special love.
I've cried and cried over Sherpa, and I never met him. I felt like I did. I'm in the USA, and people will probably make fun of me, but I don't care.
When you cry, I'm right there with you.
RIP Sherpa.
I cried about that Dog too. I am American too. Sometimes it hit me too like now.
There are a lot of us who loved Sherpa without actually meeting him. We have all gone thru the pain of losing a much loved fur friend. We are here for Jamie, whether he just needs to vent, cry, scream about how unfair it is, whatever! I hope we also get to share his new fur friend when he is ready. I don't think Sherp would let him be alone for long.much love!
Anybody who watches this channel would be deeply saddened and could easily cry That's very normal 😕🙏🏼
That's so lovely and you're not alone; I'm in the states as well and feel the same way!
We are all crying I'm on the otherside of the world yet like you I loved all of Sherpa's videos of all the adventures because seeing him helped with the passing of my dogo a few years back.
Dear Jamie, please understand that what is happening to you has happened to all of us that have lost our fur babies. I lived alone, and I sat on the couch and cried for hours because I had no reason to get up anymore. I did take small amounts of her ashes and buried them in all her favorite places in the yard. Her remains are labeled “No longer by my side, Forever in my heart.“ A loss like this will take down the strongest of men. You are our only connection to Sherpa and we will always be there for you. Hard to believe at the moment, but life does go on.❤
@@gail247 you say perfectly what we all know and feel. We've all been there, the pain heels, but the love remains. ❤️❤️
Couldn’t have said it better. 100%
Well said. I have the ashes of my two little dogs, each in a small wooden box, with a gold name plate and a sprig of dried rosemary for remembrance.
Jamie. You gave Sherpa such a wonderful life, full of adventures, love and care. He loved his new garden and is now soaring in the heavenly realms. He will always be in your heart. That bond of love and care is eternal. It really is. Your grief is totally natural and normal, a process none of us want to go through but have to because it is a healing process. Once over, see how you feel. There are plenty of dogs that need a loving home. Sherpa will always be remembered by you and your viewers with love and deep affection. He is physically gone but his soul will always live on.
After our 14 yr old dog passed, we thought we’d travel… we lasted 4 weeks in our house without a furbaby. We didn’t replace our old boy, but we rescued a pup from a kill shelter and it did fill up our heart with a new joy, a new purpose, a new soul to take on adventures. Dogs are such amazing companions, any dog would be extremely lucky to have a dad like you ❤️
Same here, I lost my 15yr ,Kizzy Leroy, right before Thanksgiving last year. My husband was bound and determined to wait and travel and such but we only made to Feb 1. Now we have Jensen and Misha( if you know you know)😊
I'm so sorry for your loss!!
The right time will vary for each of us. After I lost my first cat, it was 3 months before I rescued a pair. One of them died 3 yrs later. I rescued another 5 months later. 10 yrs later, I lost them both - 10 and 17 - 6 months apart. That was nearly 9 yrs ago. I'm still waiting for the right time.
As someone who rescues dogs, thank you. People always say they’re not ready.. but your dog who passed sends you the dog you find. Btw.. pro tip, rescue 2. If I didn’t have my husky when my 18 year old died… I literally wouldn’t be here right now to write this. And so many huskies would not be here either. I couldn’t save my boy… so I save others in his name.
My wife and I have the ashes from all 5 of our dogs. When my wife and I are gone all of our ashes will be buried together. Take care Jamie.
Ours too, and my parents❤️
@@edwardmcloughlin3797 Let's call it crowd-sleeping with best friends!
Take your time, Jamie. There is not a timeline or due date for grieving. I hope that the tears we all cry for you and Sherpa will lessen those that you shed, but don’t apologize for feeling the way you do.
My personal belief is that someday, you will see a pup that reminds you of Sherpa in a way that no one can explain. If or when that happens, don’t be sad - it will be Sherpa, returned to make sure you’re alright.
Keep the love and let it overcome the sadness!
Give sister Sarah a huge hug from all of us as well! We miss her and would love to see you both together again!
I'm so sorry that you lost Sherpa. I'm a spiritual medium who has spoken with animals on the other side. And one of the messages I receive repeatedly is the love animals have for their people. You won't see Sherpa in the physical, but he's with you in spirit. I know that doesn't relieve the grief because the grief is a journey. I'm happy to see that your followers are keeping you in their hearts and sending you love.
Sherpa has left a legacy through the videos and the RUclips channel.He has not only had a strong loving presence in your life but in the lives of your viewers.
But yeah, it hurts a lot to lose your fur companion.
Don’t apologize for crying, crying is designed to help us make it through and heal. He will always be there with you patrolling his garden. Take care Jamie. Sending you love and prayers. ❤🙏
You know, you may not see him but he isn’t gone. He is not only in your heart but also in ours. I know we didn’t know him to touch but he has left a giant paw print in our hearts. ♥️
💖🙏💖
He will still be around you for weeks, Jamie. I went through it with my 13 yr old Briard, Barney, and felt sure he was there. I turned and saw and heard him for weeks on end. My heart goes out to you and your beautiful boy, who's just on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, wagging his tail, knowing you love him. There is no loss like that of a lovely dog we've shared our hearts & homes with.
We still hurt after our Jack Pug passed a year ago. We still feel his presence and smile. Understand.
It's lovely to feel them again isn't it 😊
The sadness never ever leaves after our little furry darlings go. Ten year on, I still cannot walk down the aisle of the dog food section at the supermarket……for quite a few months I was exhausted from just crying, my heart broken. I, and so many other people know exactly what Jamie is feeling, loss, sadness, loneliness and just living in a world of pain. When does it end, if ever!🐕
That’s a good idea, taking his blanket to bed. When my husband’s body died I put his unwashed t shirts down with our fur ones. The howls and yowls really decreased. And a couple days after our beloved cat of over 20 years crossed over my husband and I were watching TV in bed and both sat bolt upright at the same time. When I asked him why, after he’d rolled back over, he said “Thought I felt a cat jump up over there” & jerked his head to the exact spot I’d felt a cat jump up. This went on for a couple months until I suppose she felt we’d be ok. The more recent crossing of our dog & cat hasn’t come with anything like that. I think they’re too busy with my husband. Hugs to you and to Sherpa.
Sherry, your beloved Briard is still with you, just resting till he feels you need his help, then you will notice his loving presence again. Their unconditional love is forever.
Sherpa bright me joy, as have all of my own dogs. I'm adjusting to life without my Daisy or indeed any dog, as my health has forced me into a new chapter of my life.
My new meds leave me numb, physically and emotionally, so I've been unable to mourn my sweet girl. I resent the hell of it. I need to curl into a ball and sob my heart out for days, for all ways she took care of me and all the happiness she brought me.
Thank you for sharing Sherpa with us, and I'm sorry to the depths of my soul for your loss.
Remember my girls, too.
Ashley, Raven, Molly and Daisy
Dear Jamie..You get thousands of comments so you probably won't see this one but just in case you do I want to thank you and Sherpa for helping me back to health after a life threateneing mountain bike accident. Your videos helped keep my sprits up during a long and painful recovery. Now You will need help to heal. I too have lost a "Heart" dog and know how painful that is. The hurt doesn't go away but it lessens with time. Please keep us informed as you move through your recovery time. Just know that you and Sherpa made so many of us happy and we are all pulling for you!
I’m still crying over Sherpa
Me too 😢
Me too!!!!!
Think we all are
Same!💔💔💔😭
Me too
Please know that you are nor alone in mourning Sherpa. People you don't know, near and far...thousands of miles away are mourning the loss of Sherpa with you. Love and Hugs from Colorado, USA ❤x
My heart goes out to you. One of the most difficult things for a dog parent to accept is the fact you will most likely outlive your pet. My husky is 6 years old now, and I get extremely emotional even thinking about having to go through what your experiencing right now.
However, one thing that brings me comfort is; I would only trust myself to look after my Juno as his health starts to decline, and knowing when they would want you to set them free to the other side. I plan to keep my Juno’s ashes until I expire, then I want our ashes put together and scattered as one, together. I've lost my mother, family members, etc. Yet nothing tears me up more then the thought of saying goodbye and having to let go of my boy.
My sincere condolences, you have Sherpa a beautiful, happy, fulfilling life, healthy life. I feel your pain.
You have 107k “therapists” who love you and understand where you are coming from. XOXO ❤️❤️❤️
My son brought home a husky malamute mix and I figured he was crazy. I found sherpa and key and realized my dog wasn't crazy. This is normal behavior. Thank you for that.
I have lost some great dogs over the years and I can say you never forget them. You have all these videos of you and your best friend. Grief is a strange thing. It will hit at different times. I wish you peace in this time.
When you smelled his blanket I completely lost it. My pitbull left me at the age of 14. My heart broke. She was amazing. A couple of years after, I found her collar and I smelled it and I swear I smelled her. I cried so hard. They are our babies, and our best friends. Amazing creatures and we are blessed by their presence in our lives. It is hard to let go but they depend on us to take care of them in life and letting them go as gently as possible when we know they are suffering is also taking care of them. You did good Jamie. You are in my prayers.❤
After my Boston Terrier died this past January, I kept his collar and the last piece of clothing he had worn before he was put down. I put that sweater in a zip loc bag and put it away for safe keeping. I have his ashes in a small wooden memory box in my room with a picture of him to watch over me.
My cat, who used to shed like crazy, had a spot behind the curtain to watch the world. Months later when I went to take them down to wash them, the curtain liner had a cat-back-shaped hairy shadow. It peeled off like a mat, and it smelled of him. I hadn’t the heart to throw those things out. It’s in a plastic bag in beside his ashes, along with his favourite “mouse” and one of his shed whiskers that I’d found when vacuuming.
@@eh1702that’s beautiful and so sad . God bless.❤
@@hirolla74❤❤❤😢
You do not need to apologize to us. Your feelings are valid. You gave him the best life and you shared Sherpa with us. Thanks for sharing Sherpa with us.
Jamie Sherpa is watching over you! He's looking after you, he's there. We buried our family dog in our yard and planted a fruit tree over him. The tree flowers and fruits every year. Watering the tree, fertilizing it, pruning it, just taking care of it keeps our bond alive. Maybe you could also have a Sherpie tree in that big, beautiful garden that Sherpa loved! A big hug to you. ❤
I wasn’t even prepared for this day. Rip Sherpa condolences to you and your family Jamie.
I thought he could be fixed 😢
It all seemed to happen very fast.
@@SherpasDay ❤🫂❤
@@SherpasDay you did everything you could and more he knows that but he just looks like he was in so much pain, but you gave him everything you could do and that’s love
Sherpa would want you to get another puppy, Jamie. He knew you're a fantastic dad whose heart is full of love that needs to be shared with another pup who needs it most. He wouldn't want you to be lonely. He'll happy when you're happy.
Don't be sad, Jamie. As a paw parent who lost my boy very suddenly, I can totally relate but Milo - my boy - would want me to carry on spreading my love with other deserving cats (sorry, he is not a dog, but love is love).
Dear Jamie I'm so sorry for the loss of Sherpa. He will be sorely missed. Talk as long as you want. Prayers coming 🙏 your way
Been thinking so much about you Jamie ❤. Sherpa’s still around Jamie, locked in your heart forever
Thankyou 😢
@@SherpasDay 🫂
I never thought I could be so sad over the loss of a pet I never met. It's like Sherpa was one of my friends.
I lost both my dogs last year within six months of each other both over 13 yrs. I swore no more too heartbreaking... But someone told me dogs are only here for a short time because they live and love every day they don't worry about the future, and would want you to fill the empty space in your heart with another pup. You loved him for his lifetime and will miss him for the rest of yours. 💔
Oh Jamie my heart is breaking for your loss he was such a special dog I have my mylo and I would be in bits if I lost him they get into your heart he was a special dog thank you for sharing him with us it will get better the pain will get easier sending you all my love😢
Jamie, please fill your heart with another dog sooner than later. Yes, grieve for Sherpa, but you must live on. It's not disrespectful to Sherpa to share your love with another dog.
He'll still be close but you won't be able to see him. My little dog used to always give me a kiss as soon as I opened my eyes every morning. Not long after he passed, one morning as I woke I felt a breeze over my lips, I looked to the window but it was shut so there was nowhere a breeze could come from. I believe he was still giving me a morning kiss.
Sherpa Rest in perfect peace we will miss u so much Sherpa 😭😭😭😔😔😔💔💔💔💔
😢
The pain you feel in your heart after losing a beloved fur baby, is the spirit of you baby curling up to rest in your heart. They are always with you. Their memories of them will one day bring smiles to your face and heart. Prayers of peace for all who love Sherpa. 💕💕
Jamie there is no time limit on when to remove Sherpa’s belongings. You will know when the time is right. Grief is different for everyone, no apologies needed for yourself.
Sherpa is embedded in our hearts forever and we have all gone through this on our own at one time or another. Our pets become family, our fur babies. You have all these memories on video and can revisit them anytime. Know we are here for you as well and will always cherish the videos with Sherpa. We will continue to watch and support you as always. Thoughts and prayers are with you. 🙏🙏❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️❤️
totally agree. @SherpasDay Take your time, Jamie. I recommend you don't rush through removing Sherpa's belongings. Don't let anyone push you to "clean up" right away (not that I think anyone would but some do). I eventually donated some of my girl's stuff and some unopened food to a local animal shelter in need. I held onto a favorite plush toy and few items that I still cherish.
@@kcj7459 Yes indeed a local rescue or maybe a Malamute rescue would be so grateful. As you say this must be Jamie's decision if and when.
He doesn't have to remove or give away any of Sherpa's things if they bring him comfort! I still have my Boxer dog Star's manky old tennis ball...Vergil (my cavachon ) loves it and I like to think Star is Vergil's guardian
Absolutely !
I actually saved all my dogs stuff in a box
Crying again, as soon as you smelt his blanket I was gone 😢. My heart breaks with you Jamie. I'm grateful you allowed Sherpa to be part of all of our lives too. Will miss him dearly
Thank you Jamie your are an amazing dad for Sherps you gave him a great life. We are all with you along with Sherps memories
Thankyou 😢
Everyone who's ever had a pet and faced that loss knows exactly what you're going through. We're all here for you. I'm so happy you made that beautiful animated video of Sherpa, "The Snowdog and the Robin". It's a perfect way to remember him. Somehow, that's how I picture his spirit now.
We lost our beagle, Buddy, to cancer 12 years ago, and we still talk about what a good and funny dog he was. Our dog now, a rescue senior dog, is starting to get sick more often. Like you, we do everything we can for her but at 17 and a half years, we know the time is going to come. She has a DNR order in her chart at the vet. THAT was the first hard decision. Now we make sure that she is comfortable and happy every day that we have left. Might be 1 more day, or still more years to go. We rescued Brooklyn about 6 months after Buddy passed. Sherpa has not left you, he has gone to a place where he is always young, always happy, always by your side. Your love for Sherpa will always keep him by your side. I'm praying for you daily, Jamie. Your compassion is enormous. ❤❤
❤
I'm a grown ass military man (retired) and I cried watching you video. I never had dogs, cats only but the few I had that passed still touched me deeply. Much love from Canada.
Jamie, please know how much you are loved. Sherpa is an angel on your shoulder.
Dear Jamie, wishing you all the best. Its beyond hard to lose your beloved furred friend. When our Erza passed away ( she was almost 19, a cat), EVERYWHERE you look you see her/him because they were with you for so long. Take your time to heal and get used to it, even though that sucks. You gave everything to Sherps and he loved you to bits for it.
He's closer than you think Jamie.
Jamie no dog can replace Sherpa or the memory of Sherpa. However, there are so many dogs that need to be adopted. What your life, your house and your garden needs is a DOG.
Given time, I think you will see this as well. In the mean time a Sherpa Help Fund for your local shelter might be a good path forward. Shelters always need supplies. They perhaps could use your talent at taking pictures of pets to help get them adopted as well.
Later on perhaps that shelter needs a fantastic dog walker.
Almost all my dogs over the many years of my life have been rescues. They are so grateful to finally get a loving person to live with.
Yes.Jamie is a great photographer and videographer as well. All the Dogs would luv him...🐾
When the time is right he'll get thr impulse. If you had suvh a special bond you cannot go get another dog within a few weeks.
Keep talking Jamie it's good for you. Everyone is thinking about you all over the world. You are in someone's thoughts. Yesterday's video was so touching when you smelled his blanket.Time is a great healer, but we never forget.All of a sudden, out of nowhere, you will think of him. He's in the wind. He's in the rustle of the trees. He's that unexplained noise. Wherever you are, he will be close by. The bond between a man and a dog can never be broken even in death.
I lost my dog during the pandemic, it was very hard to make the decision to let him go. I want you to know that your videos with Sherpa helped me during those times and I wanted to thank you for that. Sherpa was loved by people all over the world and will always be remembered with love and we are here if you need us!
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Sherpa was an amazing friend, and I'm so glad to have been allowed to watch his adventures with you. Take good care of yourself, Jamie.
