I'm so so sorry for your loss Mary. I'm sending you a virtual hug and some prayers for comfort and strength. It was really good to see Kat, thank you for that. Tell Kat I'm sending her a virtual hug and prayers for comfort and strength too
I just cried. Lord what is wrong with me? I was a nurse like forever and am used to death. But now I'm old and chronically ill with autoimmune. I live alone and my dogs and cat are my family. Bimmer is 12 and Buckeye is 10. The cat is around 13 or 14. The fact is none of us is getting any younger. I'm so sorry for your loss but you did the right thing. May that be your comfort. He's at rest now and you have all of your memories. Hug yourself for me. Happy Trails Captain.
Sometimes I think it's easier for is to feel emotions for our furry loved ones than for the human ones. Human love is so complicated, while with pets it's so, so simple. I think part of what animals do for us is give us all sorts of cathartic feelings we spend our lives trying not to feel on some level. Maybe that's getting too deep but it feels right to me. Thank you for watching and sharing your genuine reaction!
I’m very sorry for your loss. I know how you felt at the time because I had to say goodbye to my little girl of 17 years back in May. My heart aches for you. ❤ take care.
This had to be so difficult, losing your dear Captain, and then reliving it on video and posting. It’s an honor to be included in your life. Peace and comfort to you. ✌️❤️🙏
Mary- this video showed so much love- love for captain, and Kat. and I can’t help but think of Loss in general at these times. It can be so heartbreaking but also one of the greatest things we can do out of compassion as humans. I still miss many of my pets that I have had to say goodbye to, and will always love them. Thank you for sharing who you are at this incredibly difficult time.
Thank you so much. Sometimes I worry about showing too much of who I am but I don't seem to be able to help it lol. And when it comes to my Captain, my heart is on my sleeve.
@@MaxMiniTV He was a sweet friend. I hope you and Kat are keeping warm and dry. I’ve headed back up to Colorado bc of a work problem. Hope to be down for the wrtr. We’ll see if that happens.
It's the worst feeling when we have to actually make that decision. Anyone who's had the joy of loving a fur baby can relate. Keep his memory close to in all your travels bc you know he'd be there! Sorry doesn't cover it but I am so sorry.
Mary I am so sorry. I have a 16 year old with congestive heart failure and I’ve had her since she was probably only 5 weeks old. It’s really, really hard! 💔 Please be well.
I’m so sorry. You did the right thing, and Captain even told you so. You made this as easy as it could be for him. Of course it’s still rough on you, losing your bestest buddy. 💔 Hang in there. May his memory be a blessing.
I just watched your video. sitting next to my cat, who has a few days to a few weeks left. I'm sobbing with you and Captain and for me and Rocco. Captain was such a good boy! I am sorry for your loss
😢 Sending you and Rocco a big hug and kiss. Rocco and Captain are both honoured today by all of us strangers who hear how much you both have loved your darling dears.
My heart breaks for you. Sorry seems inadequate. You tried your best Captain. We will all miss you so much but will do our best to support your mum as much as we can through the Chanel. Your friends will be there to help when your ready. RIP you beautiful brave warrior. 🙏🏻 Lynne Victoria Australia 🇦🇺💜🐕💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
hi mary - new sub here in calif. who grieves with you for your loss of captain. as you said -- the final act of love for our furry companions is the most difficult. keep him close with all your memories of the joy he brought to your life. farewell little one and god bless you mary.
So sad about Captain. Obviously I knew about this a while ago but even when I got the notification that you had posted this video, I couldn't watch it right away. He was such a special little guy.
I'm not going to tell you about the pets we lost along the way. I'm going to let you be for now with your thoughts and memories of a great friend, and companion. You need your space right now. Grief is for a reason. My prayers will be for you and Kat for now. Be well soon ole friend.
Oh, honey, I am so sorry. You did the right thing. There was NO "good" thing to do, but there was a RIGHT thing and you did it. I'm so sorry that it's also such a painful thing. Lean on your friends. I bet it would help Cat if you would lean on her a little bit and let her support you some, let her return all the favors you've been doing for her. I know it makes me feel like a burden when my friends have to help me and I can't do anything for them, so while I am NOT glad when they are hurting and need support, I AM glad that they ask me for it.
@MaxMiniTV Oh, good! I am so glad to hear that. I hope the next bit of time goes by quickly for you then, because that is the only thing that will truly lessen the pain - the passing of time.
Mary, I'm so sorry for for your loss. It hurts like losing family or friends. And little Captain was family. We'll miss the little man also. May God watch over you. And I hope he watches over Kat, RJ and the rest of the group. Take care Lady, our hearts are breaking with you.
Had to get new phone, don't know why it showed that way. I input my name. This is Wanda and I've been following you 2 for awhile. I've had a few co-pilots pass on and I still miss them. Lady used to ride on my motorcycle in my jacket when she was a pup. Then we 4 wheeled and explored Arizona back country. She's been gone 20 years. Nicki, Jake, Teddy were good co-pilots also. They never leave our hearts and minds.
@@Wanda-i5x No, they never do! That screen name is a RUclips thing, they show it instead of your actual name. I hate it! I complained but they don't seem to care LOL. Thank you for being here!
I have never watched one of your videos. Glad this one was my first. Thanks for sharing. It's amazing how we connect with our pets, even though we cannot talk to each other. I will say, I've had some amazing dogs over the years and they are all part of the story.
@@MaxMiniTV I lost my female almost 3 years ago and that was hard, I still have her brother who is 15 and cherish each day that comes and goes with him. I understand how hard it is, truly.
You have my deepest sympathy. I will be going through the same all too soon. One of my girls has diabetes and the other has kidney disease. Thank goodness for the time we've had.
I'm so very sorry for your loss especially at this time when you are dealing with the health of your friend. I pray God gives you peace in knowing you did the right thing for your little man. Try and hold on to all the good times you had with him. ❤
Thank you so much. I'm trying to think only of the love we shared and the fun we had. He was the absolutely best nurse for my Mom, showering her with love, and I hope I did the same for him.
😭 I so understand you Mary. My cat Tiger was all I had left after my son died. My last baby. Then we moved into a " non smoking" building filled with cigarette smoke and hostile people. We both got cancer. I hoped Tiger would hold on until at least my treatments were over. But he didn't. I too held my last baby for an hour after the injection. Just sitting there still with his nose buried into my arm. Cuddled. Later the vet staff sent me a sympathy card they all had signed. It was soooo kind of them. Kindness is the balm that soothes us all. That was several years ago. Why do I not get another cat or a dog? Because vet costs are highway robbery. No offense to vets, but the system is all wrong. I can't handle heartache and also insane bills. So I love up our neighbour Douglas and contribute money to that familie's vet bills. It is a win for us all. No muss no fuss for me, just snuggles with a great big rag doll gato. Big love to you Mary. Be gentle with yourself and allow the grief to happen. You loved him deeply and you let him go when he needed it. You were both lucky to have each other. ❤ May he visit you in your dreams.
Thank you, he already has! I feel him with me every day. I agree vet costs are ridiculous, but for me ... I need a dog. I've made it work with pet insurance (though that didn't solve the problem in Captain's case) but I absolutely understand your choice. I'm not sure if you saw the video that comes after this one but if you watch to the very very end, you will see a quick shot of a new somebody who has joined the party! Thank you for being here.
So sorry for your loss. I lost my Charley boy in October. I wouldn’t speak to anyone except my boys for 3 weeks. Charley was my last person /dog to take care of before i made the final decision to move to TN. I Miss my Charley boy. But it would have been so unfair to ask him to live any further. The trip and move , would have been to much him. It was. A difficult decision, but i had to make a choice just as you did. Im not sorry , he is at peace. 14 years old my Charley Boy was. Now i am with out a dog. 😢. I miss charley so much. He would have loved this new little house i bought in Franklin. I know there is another dog in my future, but i am taking my time finding just the right pup. Mary, i hope you finally get a long stretch of good luck coming this year/2024 i can see, you are over whelmed. The best medicine is……………One step at a time. What else can we do. Love to you and Kat. God bless. Gabby
Thank you, Gabby, I'm looking forward to a year without so many hard lessons. I have another friend who jus tmoved to TN, I wonder if your paths will cross.
@@MaxMiniTV One never knows Mary. One of the reasons i moved here, was my new little grandsons now 8 months old and to be near family. I’m going to be 70 years old this next year. While i am in good health. I got tired of being without family near. Charley was/is my family. What i find so many outstanding is the mannerly people here. I have had so many people walk over to my little home and introduce themselves, people have left welcoming gifts. Another reason i moved here, is it allows me to travel easier to places i have yet to visit. The journey continues for me. Take good care of yourself. God bless.
I am very sorry for your loss. It is so hard to loose a fur baby. It's been about two and a half years now since we lost one of ours, Hennessy, a rottiie shepard mix. She had developed cancer, the vet wanted us to put her down that day, we had taken her in as we thought she hurt/sprained her left front foot, turns out she had cancer. I wanted a second opinion as i really did not like that vet much. The second vet did an MRI and it revealed she had tumors also in her throat, and in one of her lungs. He estimated she had three months to live, but she was eating, drinking, and only seemed to have days where she was limping sometimes on the left leg, but other than that, didn't seem to have any pain, still wanted to play, acting very normal really. So i made some stairs so she could get up and down off the roomies bed without jumping. Three months later, she was getting where she limped all the time and wouldn't put weight on the left leg. So she stayed on the bed, and i brought the food and water to her. She would let me know when she wanted water, and she was still eating her crunchies and a can of wet food for dinner at night, when she wanted to go outside, i would pick her up and take her outside, and carry her back in. Other than a mobility problem, she was quite normal. She used to love to play fetch, and she had several toys for this, but she had one softball sized squeaky toy we would play with on the bed, i would roll it to her, she would get it and push it back at me with her nose after she gave it a couple of robust squeaks. Time went on, and at about five months in, she didn't want her regular dog food anymore, so i started cooking her up hamburger patties twice a day and she loved that. At seven months in, she got where she could no longer stand up on three legs for potty breaks, and we knew it was time. The appointment was made, and a week later we had to let her go. That was the hardest thing in my life to do, ever. The roomie wanted to use the first vet that i did not like for this. He was surprised at how well she looked, she still weighed 120 lbs, and you would never know she was sick. He asked me what i did to keep her so long and looking so good and i told him all of the above. I guess he was impressed, but i was not impressed with him. We made it very clear we did not want to see the last breath, no way, no how. when the appointment was made. I wanted her to be knocked out first, we could say our goodbyes and leave the room. That is not what happened. He gave her a shot, and said it would take about 30 seconds. I asked him what the stuff was, and he stated what it really was, but it was too late. It seems the receptionist in the front didn't put our special instructions into the appointment record. After about a minute, she let out a little cough, her breathing became labored, and then it was over. I was furious, and about tore that place apart. He gave her a heart attack right there on the table, and i knew she felt it. I went out into the lobby where there were about 20 people and animals waiting to be seen, i asked who maria was, and ripped her to shreads for screwing that all up. They were on the phone to the cops when i left, but no cops showed up here at the house, and they had the address of course. So people, if you ever find yourself in this position were you have to let an animal go, make it very clear how you want it to go, and if you see them coming at your pet with pink stuff in the syringe, know what that stuff is. I know it was not painless for Hennessy. It has been two and a half years now since Hennessy passing, and i still think about her all the time. I still have Bigboy, a boarboel pit mix, he is indeed a very big boy, 150 pounder, and Sadie the Shih Tzu was gifted to the roomie about two months after Hennessys passing, and she turned two years old on august 27th. I dont know exactly how old Bigboy is as he was a rescue, but the vet seems to think he is around 8 or 9 now maybe, not sure. The roomie isn't great with dogs, she is bipolor, deaf a a nail, and always very loud. Me, i am like doctor dolittle and little Sadie is always at my side no matter what. I get a security escort anywhere in the house i go, she always has one eye on me at all times. Bigboy is old and gimpy like his daddy, but if i am out of the room for ten minutes or so, he comes looking for me. I love these puppies, and they love me. I spoil them rotten, not in a bad way though as in food they shouldn't have. I am 6'1, 235 and i have a twin bed very low to the floor, Bigboy has his bed right next to mine, but loves to steal my bed if i am not in it, and Sadie is always where i am, on my feet at this desk, or in bed with me. Sometimes all three of us will end up on the bed at night, and that must look like a comedy show. But i love them with all my heart, and i know they love me too. I don't know what i would do without them. I am very sorry for your loss Mary, but i know there isn't anything anyone can really say to make it better. Maybe reading this wall of text and my story will take your mind off of it for a brief moment at least. In time, maybe you will get another little friend, it takes time, and while i have my two little soulmates in my world now, i still have Hennessy in my heart, and she will always be there as i am sure Captain will always be in yours. Best wishes and prayers your way. God speed little Captain. ❤🙏
Thank you for sharing your story with me, it means a lot. Personally, I have always wanted to be there until the last breath with my babies. I want my eyes to be the last ones they see, because they have given me so much love, I feel I owe it to them to shine that love back to them, to help them not be scared at the moment they are passing over. I know I will get another dog eventually, but Captain will always be "the one" for me. He was my heart. Still is.
😮Oh , soooo sorry! It is such a hard thing to say that final goodbye to a fur baby!!! Never easy on their human even when they let us know they are ready to be released from their pain and current life restrictions ! But I do believe their spirits often stay near to us and help to guide a new fur baby into our life ❤️! I know Captain's spirit will help you through your grief .
I follow Glorious Life on Wheels. I saw Kat and went to her channel, where who is speaking for Kat? You. I flipped over to your channel and FELL IN LOVE. I Never say this kind of shit to RUclipsrs, but your cadence, and flow, and story telling? C'mon! Good.On.You! Sincerely, Subscribed.
Mary, I'm so sorry. I'm so sad too, auntie will miss him so much. Love you, let me know if there is anything I can do. My heart and prayers are with you. Thanks for sharing such a hard part of your life. Love ya Nancy
I just went thru this wuth my 18yr old chihuahua Sid Vicious, he was my grandpuppy(daughter moved to an apartment), and he was so spoilt, I even got him a chew toy...she was a Yorkie/Maltese😂 I am sure you were the best pet owner he could have ever hoped for, I am sure you gave him the best quality adventurous life he could ever have.❤xo
Sid Vicious is the best name I've ever heard for a spoiled little pooch! I hope he didn't chew too hard on that toy! I would like to think that the life he wound up with was unexpected but full of beautiful things. Mine certainly was with him.
I'll be honest, I can't watch...too hard. My heart goes out to you, I lost one of my dogs my first year on the road. She was 16 but it was still devastating. {{Hugs}}
NO worries, I expected there would be people who had a hard time watching. I know you're there with me nonetheless. Sorry about your baby, too. It doesn't matter how old they are, it's always so hard.
I'm very sorry for your loss. You gave him a great life. Be kind to yourself as you heal.
Thank you. I know he had a better life with me than he had before but I just wish I could have given him even more.
So very sorry. Rest in love Captain❤️🙏❤️
Thank you. I hope he's still feeling the love.
I'm sending you hugs, Mary. ❤❤❤
Thank you, I can feel them!
💔 hugs my friend.
On the lighter side. Oh my it was good to see Kat. Thank you for cleaning up.
Yes, I think you'll be seeing more of Kat soon!
@@MaxMiniTV that would be nice. 💚

I'll pass that on to Kat! She is ding much better now; more n her story in the next video.
My heart is broken for you. I dread the day I face that decision with my own little dog. Rest in peace Captain.
Thank you.

Sharing it on video is actually one of the things that makes me feel better. It's an honor to be part of your life, too.
I've been there too many times myself. More than one dog or cat has been just so tired we had to listen to them.
You gave him a great last few years.
I just wish it could have been longer. I didn't even get four years with him. :(

His struggle is over. I am struggling without him but we'll be together again.
This was hard to watch. Captain was beloved by all of us and always welcome in our home. Too sad.
He loved visiting with you, playing with Lili, bossing everybody around.
Oh, honey, I am so sorry. You did the right thing. There was NO "good" thing to do, but there was a RIGHT thing and you did it. I'm so sorry that it's also such a painful thing.

😭 I so understand you Mary. My cat Tiger was all I had left after my son died. My last baby. Then we moved into a " non smoking" building filled with cigarette smoke and hostile people. We both got cancer. I hoped Tiger would hold on until at least my treatments were over. But he didn't. I too held my last baby for an hour after the injection. Just sitting there still with his nose buried into my arm. Cuddled.
Later the vet staff sent me a sympathy card they all had signed. It was soooo kind of them. Kindness is the balm that soothes us all.
That was several years ago. Why do I not get another cat or a dog? Because vet costs are highway robbery. No offense to vets, but the system is all wrong. I can't handle heartache and also insane bills. So I love up our neighbour Douglas and contribute money to that familie's vet bills. It is a win for us all. No muss no fuss for me, just snuggles with a great big rag doll gato.
Big love to you Mary. Be gentle with yourself and allow the grief to happen. You loved him deeply and you let him go when he needed it.
You were both lucky to have each other. ❤ May he visit you in your dreams.
Thank you, he already has! I feel him with me every day. I agree vet costs are ridiculous, but for me ... I need a dog. I've made it work with pet insurance (though that didn't solve the problem in Captain's case) but I absolutely understand your choice. I'm not sure if you saw the video that comes after this one but if you watch to the very very end, you will see a quick shot of a new somebody who has joined the party! Thank you for being here.
So sorry for your loss. I lost my Charley boy in October. I wouldn’t speak to anyone except my boys for 3 weeks. Charley was my last person /dog to take care of before i made the final decision to move to TN. I Miss my Charley boy. But it would have been so unfair to ask him to live any further. The trip and move , would have been to much him. It was. A difficult decision, but i had to make a choice just as you did. Im not sorry , he is at peace. 14 years old my Charley Boy was. Now i am with out a dog. 😢. I miss charley so much. He would have loved this new little house i bought in Franklin. I know there is another dog in my future, but i am taking my time finding just the right pup. Mary, i hope you finally get a long stretch of good luck coming this year/2024 i can see, you are over whelmed. The best medicine is……………One step at a time. What else can we do. Love to you and Kat. God bless. Gabby
Thank you, Gabby, I'm looking forward to a year without so many hard lessons. I have another friend who jus tmoved to TN, I wonder if your paths will cross.
@@MaxMiniTV One never knows Mary. One of the reasons i moved here, was my new little grandsons now 8 months old and to be near family. I’m going to be 70 years old this next year. While i am in good health. I got tired of being without family near. Charley was/is my family. What i find so many outstanding is the mannerly people here. I have had so many people walk over to my little home and introduce themselves, people have left welcoming gifts. Another reason i moved here, is it allows me to travel easier to places i have yet to visit. The journey continues for me. Take good care of yourself. God bless.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your precious Captain. 🐾🙏🏻
Thank you so much! I miss his a lot.
Exact thing happened to my boy a few weeks ago. It's freaking hard. I only wish that I had known our last walk, was our last walk.
Awww, I know that feeling for sure. Thanks for being here and sharing about your boy, it makes e feel less alone.
That tears my heart out😔😔😔 even though I knew already
He was such a good boy.
Mary, words can't express the sorrow for the loss of your co-pilot. Sending you big hugs from Florida.
Thanks, Bruce. I miss him a lot. Though ... the next video has a new surprise guest at the end.
Sorry about your 1st mate😔
Thank you so much, I miss him deeply.
I am very sorry for your loss. It is so hard to loose a fur baby. It's been about two and a half years now since we lost one of ours, Hennessy, a rottiie shepard mix. She had developed cancer, the vet wanted us to put her down that day, we had taken her in as we thought she hurt/sprained her left front foot, turns out she had cancer.
I wanted a second opinion as i really did not like that vet much. The second vet did an MRI and it revealed she had tumors also in her throat, and in one of her lungs. He estimated she had three months to live, but she was eating, drinking, and only seemed to have days where she was limping sometimes on the left leg, but other than that, didn't seem to have any pain, still wanted to play, acting very normal really. So i made some stairs so she could get up and down off the roomies bed without jumping. Three months later, she was getting where she limped all the time and wouldn't put weight on the left leg. So she stayed on the bed, and i brought the food and water to her. She would let me know when she wanted water, and she was still eating her crunchies and a can of wet food for dinner at night, when she wanted to go outside, i would pick her up and take her outside, and carry her back in. Other than a mobility problem, she was quite normal.
She used to love to play fetch, and she had several toys for this, but she had one softball sized squeaky toy we would play with on the bed, i would roll it to her, she would get it and push it back at me with her nose after she gave it a couple of robust squeaks. Time went on, and at about five months in, she didn't want her regular dog food anymore, so i started cooking her up hamburger patties twice a day and she loved that. At seven months in, she got where she could no longer stand up on three legs for potty breaks, and we knew it was time. The appointment was made, and a week later we had to let her go. That was the hardest thing in my life to do, ever. The roomie wanted to use the first vet that i did not like for this. He was surprised at how well she looked, she still weighed 120 lbs, and you would never know she was sick. He asked me what i did to keep her so long and looking so good and i told him all of the above. I guess he was impressed, but i was not impressed with him.
We made it very clear we did not want to see the last breath, no way, no how. when the appointment was made. I wanted her to be knocked out first, we could say our goodbyes and leave the room. That is not what happened. He gave her a shot, and said it would take about 30 seconds. I asked him what the stuff was, and he stated what it really was, but it was too late. It seems the receptionist in the front didn't put our special instructions into the appointment record. After about a minute, she let out a little cough, her breathing became labored, and then it was over. I was furious, and about tore that place apart. He gave her a heart attack right there on the table, and i knew she felt it. I went out into the lobby where there were about 20 people and animals waiting to be seen, i asked who maria was, and ripped her to shreads for screwing that all up. They were on the phone to the cops when i left, but no cops showed up here at the house, and they had the address of course.
So people, if you ever find yourself in this position were you have to let an animal go, make it very clear how you want it to go, and if you see them coming at your pet with pink stuff in the syringe, know what that stuff is. I know it was not painless for Hennessy.
It has been two and a half years now since Hennessy passing, and i still think about her all the time. I still have Bigboy, a boarboel pit mix, he is indeed a very big boy, 150 pounder, and Sadie the Shih Tzu was gifted to the roomie about two months after Hennessys passing, and she turned two years old on august 27th. I dont know exactly how old Bigboy is as he was a rescue, but the vet seems to think he is around 8 or 9 now maybe, not sure. The roomie isn't great with dogs, she is bipolor, deaf a a nail, and always very loud. Me, i am like doctor dolittle and little Sadie is always at my side no matter what. I get a security escort anywhere in the house i go, she always has one eye on me at all times. Bigboy is old and gimpy like his daddy, but if i am out of the room for ten minutes or so, he comes looking for me. I love these puppies, and they love me. I spoil them rotten, not in a bad way though as in food they shouldn't have. I am 6'1, 235 and i have a twin bed very low to the floor, Bigboy has his bed right next to mine, but loves to steal my bed if i am not in it, and Sadie is always where i am, on my feet at this desk, or in bed with me. Sometimes all three of us will end up on the bed at night, and that must look like a comedy show. But i love them with all my heart, and i know they love me too. I don't know what i would do without them.
I am very sorry for your loss Mary, but i know there isn't anything anyone can really say to make it better. Maybe reading this wall of text and my story will take your mind off of it for a brief moment at least. In time, maybe you will get another little friend, it takes time, and while i have my two little soulmates in my world now, i still have Hennessy in my heart, and she will always be there as i am sure Captain will always be in yours.
Best wishes and prayers your way. God speed little Captain. ❤🙏
Thank you for sharing your story with me, it means a lot. Personally, I have always wanted to be there until the last breath with my babies. I want my eyes to be the last ones they see, because they have given me so much love, I feel I owe it to them to shine that love back to them, to help them not be scared at the moment they are passing over. I know I will get another dog eventually, but Captain will always be "the one" for me. He was my heart. Still is.
🐶🐶 Very sorry for your loss Mary. He was a great companion. All the best.
Thank you, he was the best companion ever.

It hurts SOOO much. But yes, letting go is love.
I am so sorry for your loss of your fur baby Captain. 😢❤
Thank you so much!
I feel your pain and emptiness. I'm sorry he has passed.
Thank you. I think of him every day.
@@MaxMiniTV I understand, I lost my Cysco , he and I were bonded. He attacked a man for yelling at me once and he was not taught that!
I'm so sorry Mary. Plz take care of yourself and thank you for sharing your life with us.
Thank you for being here
My condolences. Prayers for you.
Thanks so much!
❤💔
I know you know how cool he was.
@@MaxMiniTV I do. It hurt my heart to hear he was gone but then it broke when I watched this. You gave him the best life.
I am so sorry to hear this news. 🙏🏻 it’s never easy. I cried just watching it.
He was a very special boy.
💔😢
Thanks, Cuz.
❤ Thank you so much for cleaning. We do the same when we find stuff like that. So sorry for you loss. :(
Thank you, I wish everyone did what you do! And thanks for the condolences.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Mary.
Thank you. He was the Captain of my heart, that's for sure.
😮Oh , soooo sorry! It is such a hard thing to say that final goodbye to a fur baby!!! Never easy on their human even when they let us know they are ready to be released from their pain and current life restrictions ! But I do believe their spirits often stay near to us and help to guide a new fur baby into our life ❤️! I know Captain's spirit will help you through your grief .
Thank you, I think that is exactly right!! I still miss Captain but Rider makes me laugh so much, I feel like Captain is definitely with us both.
Thinking about you, Cat and the tribe of friends today, wishing you all the best in 2024.
Thans so much, Nancy! Back at ya!
I follow Glorious Life on Wheels. I saw Kat and went to her channel, where who is speaking for Kat? You. I flipped over to your channel and FELL IN LOVE. I Never say this kind of shit to RUclipsrs, but your cadence, and flow, and story telling? C'mon! Good.On.You! Sincerely, Subscribed.
Wow, thank you SOOO MUCH! This comment m ade my night - maybe my WEEK.
My heart hurts for you.
Thank you. There is a hole where he was for sure.
I am truly sorry for your loss 💋🫂
Thank you so much. I still miss him every day.
He is in a good place and in no more pain. We are the ones who are never ready but he let u know he was and he knew u would let him go.
Yes, you’re right, I try to think that way but I miss seeing his face every day and hearing his voice so much.
I know how hard it is when the time comes to let your precious darling go. It’s a shock and so devastating. It hurts a lot. Lots of love to you ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you No. matter how you prepare for it, you really can't be prepared for it. Love back to you.
😢💔 I’ve been there…🐾💔💞
Thank you, I'm glad you understand.
prayers and love, i lost 5 dogs and my husband in the last 5 years, i do understand😢
OH, that is absolutely heartbreaking. I'm so sorry.
I am very sorry for your loss.
Thank yo, I appreciate it.
Mary, I'm so sorry. I'm so sad too, auntie will miss him so much. Love you, let me know if there is anything I can do. My heart and prayers are with you. Thanks for sharing such a hard part of your life. Love ya Nancy
He loved his auntie for sure. Thank you for loving us both!
please know that you're not alone. -C
Thank you. That's what keeps me going through things like this.
I just went thru this wuth my 18yr old chihuahua Sid Vicious, he was my grandpuppy(daughter moved to an apartment), and he was so spoilt, I even got him a chew toy...she was a Yorkie/Maltese😂 I am sure you were the best pet owner he could have ever hoped for, I am sure you gave him the best quality adventurous life he could ever have.❤xo
Sid Vicious is the best name I've ever heard for a spoiled little pooch! I hope he didn't chew too hard on that toy! I would like to think that the life he wound up with was unexpected but full of beautiful things. Mine certainly was with him.
You are so strong 💪, life goes on. 😢😢😢
Yes, it does, strong or not. Might as well try it strong. Thanks for being there, friend.
I'll be honest, I can't watch...too hard. My heart goes out to you, I lost one of my dogs my first year on the road. She was 16 but it was still devastating. {{Hugs}}
NO worries, I expected there would be people who had a hard time watching. I know you're there with me nonetheless. Sorry about your baby, too. It doesn't matter how old they are, it's always so hard.
Im sorry😢
Thanks so much, I still mmiss him A LOT.
♥♥♥

I'm glad you're here as always, Michael.
