    Brian & Julie, You both do such an amazing job with your videos. They are always tastefully done and your rock reveals are incredible! I so very sorry about your baby girl, Pixie. They are a part of our lives for such a short time, and leave our hearts aching when it's time for them to go. May the Lord heal your hearts and wrap His loving arms around you and see you through this very tender time.

      Thank you!🙏🏼💖 We were lucky to spend her life together. She was one amazing dog. I’m relieved she is no longer in pain, even though small, Pixie left a large hole in our hearts.

    My heart sank when I saw the tribute to your beautiful Pixie. 💔 You guys gave her an amazing life!
    The rocks......beautiful as always!! Hope to make it to your claim one of these cooler days!

      Thank you Brad. 🙏🏼 Pixie had a wonderful life. We took her everywhere. 2 weeks before she passed she went through 3 National parks. And her last hike was Arches National park. In a backpack of course. Stole the show with many people.

    I am sorry for your loss of Pixie. Our sweet fur babies are so imbedded in our hearts that their passing cuts so deep. They are truly "family". They are not just a dog. Cherish all the sweet memories of your little girl. I'm sending you hugs across the miles. Take care. ❤

    • @AZRockhoundExpeditions
      @AZRockhoundExpeditions  5 месяцев назад +3

      Thank you! She was definitely a big part of the family, another kid of mine. We did make quite the memories.💖

    You guys have the best rocks and the great friends, like Rocks For Brains. A wonderful person. I'm glad you left when you heard something higher than you in the rocks. Lots of mountain lions near Camp Verde. All that said, we had to let our toy poodle go. It is so heart wrenching and traumatic to think there could be so much love. In such a tiny body. Our hearts go out to you and we are glad to see Brian getting better. 🐶❣💓❣

    • @AZRockhoundExpeditions
      @AZRockhoundExpeditions  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you! Lauren is awesome! Yes, losing our little furry family member has been awful, and heart wrenching. I don’t know if I ever want to do it again. I think I was a one dog person.❤️‍🩹

    Ohmygoodness!!! Those are the most amazing botryoidals I’ve ever seen!!! The pink one looks like a princess castle 🏰
    I enjoy watching your videos. Y’all crack me up and made bad days end on a happy note 🎵. Thanks for the humor.
    I’m so sorry you had to give up your precious Pixie 🐾I know all too well how that feels. Focus on the joy she brought and know that she is no longer suffering.

    • @AZRockhoundExpeditions
      @AZRockhoundExpeditions  5 месяцев назад +2

      Thank you Cheryl. Pixie did bring so much joy. It’s hard to get used to her not being with me every second of the day. Stuck to me like glue. And we do have so many good memories.💖

    @JnVrockhounding 5 месяцев назад +3

    Ooo that one at 8:49 is sweet! I would love to get a chunk like that uncut. Looks like y’all found some awesome material on that hunt. That rock reveal did not disappoint. So so sorry about Pixie. Its so hard to lose them. Same as with a human family member sometimes worse. My heart is with you two.

    • @AZRockhoundExpeditions
      @AZRockhoundExpeditions  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you Jeff. It was hard to finish this rock reveal, part of it, pixie was with me, the other half she was not. I had to make this one memorable.

    Oh, dear; I just saw the news about Pixie...My deepest condolences to you and your family for the loss of your little fur-buddy.
    Please know that Pixie will never truly leave your side so long as you keep her memory alive within your heart. I am looking forward to your tribute and am sure that I will need ample tissue when I see it. Looking at her in your photos I can see the love you two shared. May you be blessed in knowing that she is always just a warm thought and a fond memory away.

    • @AZRockhoundExpeditions
      @AZRockhoundExpeditions  5 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your bounty with us.❤❤❤❤ Julie, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your sweet little pup. I recently went through the same experience. God comfort you and your family as you grieve. 💔❤️‍🩹

      Thank you Ray! We really found some great rocks that day. Thank you for your condolences, and sorry for your loss as well, it’s never easy. I’m still having a tough time with the loss of Pixie. I had her for 15 years, she detected my seizures, until she became too old and needed my assistance. She was little, but the loss left a huge hole in my heart. ❤️‍🩹

    I'm sorry about your loss of Pixie. Dogs and kitties are very much a part of our families. Over many years, dogs were very much a part of my life, as well as kitties, the last one living about twenty years.
    Interesting rocks! If I were 40 years younger and had no disability affecting my right ankle/ foot, it would be a great agate/jasper trip. Now I watch others, like you folks, hunt for agates, jaspers and whatever else is waiting to be discovered. Glad I found your channel. Saying Hi from Connecticut!

    • @AZRockhoundExpeditions
      @AZRockhoundExpeditions  5 месяцев назад +1

    @largent45 5 месяцев назад +1

    Your videos are so entertaining but the true magic is the rock reveal and boy howdy was it amazing! Those were such amazing pieces! The cathedrals of every color were magical enough but the agate you find is just so gorgeous! I cant imagine what it nusr be lol ke to own this claim!?!
    And im so sorry about pixie! She was a little star all her own! But it was time to cross the rainbow bridge. She will always be with you because you qont wver ket her nemoey die!😭 RIP Pixie💕💖😇 Heaven has gotten one cute little angel!

      @AZRockhoundExpeditions  5 месяцев назад +1

    Great to see Brian looking healthy and a nice surprise to see Lauren in a video. I would definitely love to go rockhounding with you guys once I recover from back surgery. I live in San Diego so it's a little bit of a drive but based on your finds, it definitely will be worth it. Great video.

    • @AZRockhoundExpeditions
      @AZRockhoundExpeditions  2 месяца назад +1

Pixie , I started crying when I read that after, such a beautiful display of agates oh my , i shared this video with my son ,he lives in California,and when I fly out we do some rock hunting, and maybe long shot we could book a trip with you guys one day here’s wishing. Love your videos ,sure glad Brian is feeling better was worried about him .

    • @AZRockhoundExpeditions
      @AZRockhoundExpeditions  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you Mark. It’s still very hard to get used to not having Pixie around. For such a small dog, she took up a lot of space in our home and our hearts.❤️‍🩹 good thing is Brian is doing much better. 3 months of being horribly sick. And another 3 months to fully recover. It was a long haul. We are starting to book trips for the next season November 2024- April 2025.

    Those crystals at the start of the revea were other worldly!!!😮 And those back lit slabs!!! OMG!!! It was like the pictures of nebulas and Michaelangelo must have cut rocks too because some of those colors in the the other slabs were reminiscent of the ceiling painting in the Sistine Chapel. Your photography is excellent!!!
    And my heartfelt condolences for y'all for your loss. It's heartbreaking 😢.

She passed in the middle of this rock reveal. It was very hard to finish this one without her.❤️‍🩹 So sorry for your little ones passing. The heart hurts a lot.❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

    • @AZRockhoundExpeditions
      @AZRockhoundExpeditions  5 месяцев назад

      We had 3 of our slab bags left. I tried to take pictures of them, but there were between 3-5 in a bag. And to take pictures of the lot together was not working well. Then I thought to take pictures of each individual slab front and back, then to try and send 26-28 pictures. I looked at them, and they had such a nice and beautiful variety, I figured I would just send them, I know you’ll love them. But if you don’t, let me know, and I can find different ones for you.😃
