I am so happy to see how Mr. Opie gets along just fine with Tig! Perhaps Opie is helping Tig cope with being alone in is crate when you are away. It also warms my heart to see how patient you are with Tara and her apprehension about the new puppy! Good on you, Eric! You're a great pet dad! I'll be waiting for the new tee shirt with all three babies on it. ❤❤
Tig was thirsty or hungry. He went right to the food dish. He's getting big fast!
He's a smart puppy❣️ He was telling you he wanted food and water. Amazing!!!
Now that you are a dog friend and a homeowner I would like to suggest getting a side by side instead of a off road bike. As Tig gets older he's going to want to go on adventures with his favorite human. He can sit in the passenger side and you can throw your cooler and camp chair in the back and go hang out at you lake. It would also be a huge asset at your homestead. Ours has a hitch and we pull a dump cart around when we do any yard work. We use ours to go visit our neighbors too! Not to mention they are also a ton of fun!!
Thank you for taking us along on your adventures, we look forward to seeing what you will come up next. lol
Eric, that dog is going to be your best friend. You’re an animal person and a good man. God bless you.
That is one happy puppy. I'm so glad you made the decision to get one you're providing the perfect environment for it being that you have all that property especially the fact that you are a kind-hearted person that loves animals.. before you know it all of the animals will be snuggling together including Tara. When I first introduced my puppy to my cat she didn't accept them right away she was very standoffish and stay to herself but eventually within about a 3-month. Of time they became closer and closer and closer and they live their lives together very happily
Happy to see Tig on your intro and logo. He was so cute getting up in the trailer.
Everything is coming together. Pray that person takes the bike. One less thing to worry about.
That lake looks nice. Glad you found it.
Blessings.🤗😸😺🐶
Good for you Eric. You are going to grow to love him so much
I used to build bikes, there is not a “throttle problem” with that bike. You’ve replaced any fuel related issues. That is “the engine is bad and needs replacing” issue. I think you know this. I hope the new owners follow your channel and have seen your attempts to almost replace everything except the engine in an attempt to resolve this issue. I would considerate it a scrap level motorcycle, a hazard if it won’t accelerate when needed.
Eric please check Tig for fleas. When you take him for his first puppy shots, ask about flea control, heart worms and get him treated for worms. Happy trails and safe travels to you and the kitties!
So cute to see your little Tig climbing into the RV AND sleeping in his crate. ENJOY the puppy days.
Tig was absolutely meant for you!! Life is beautiful ❤️
Tig is a really good dog Eric. You scored! Love your little family.🤗👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🐶🐱🐈⬛
Eric...I am absolutely loving your homesteading life! Great video.👍😁
Tig is growing fast! He is a very smart dog. Hope you were able to sell Reba the Rebel. A nice little dirt bike will be great for putting around the area. I knew Opie would be the first to warm up to Tig. Tara, hopefully, will just take more time. The property is looking good! I like the fake grass. It's probably nice to get your feet (and Tig's) off the rocks once in awhile. Enjoy your first guests on the property!
Tig is going to be the best dog! He already is!
Another fun video. Tara and Tig will be good friends, in there own time. Opie is so accept of the puppy.
Eric as one who has elderly dogs (15 and 18 years) life changes over time. I know you will adjust as I did because I have seen your heart with your kitties. Just know there are challenges on the path but they will always remain precious.
Wow, lots of improvements. Looking good, Eric! Cute pup, glad he's warming up to the kitties, we'll at least Opie so far.
Tig is adorable!! Going to love watching him grow in your videos!!
You should get a water sensor for your tank. They make them wireless now, so you'd just have one hooked up at the tank (could be on a little battery with a solar panel, they use so little power even a tiny solar panel with a phone style powerbank would be plenty of power year-round) and then the receiving unit would be inside and connected to the internet so you can always see what the level is at.
Alternatively, they also make pressure-based meters that you'd hook up to the outlet; as the tank empties the pressure drops too, which isn't exactly but close to linear and can easily be visualized. Saves you having to open the lid and risking all kinds of stuff getting inside.
You should also 100% get a filter system, even just a passive one with a sediment filter would help, but also getting a UV filter might save your life one day. And don't forget to shock it with bleach once a year!
👏👏👏👏 seeing Tig get up in the rv!
That WAS adorable!!!
You seem like such a nice person! Love the animals and love the life your living! I’m jealous for sure !!😊
Enjoyed the video!
Tig is making good progress. Don't worry about the cats, they'll get used to the dog eventually. I brought a cat into my house where I had a dog and it took them 6 months but after that they were best buddies. You might checks with a local asphalt company and see how much they would charge to bring a small roller out and roll that stone. It should compact it nicely. Keep the good stuff coming.
Good to see you doing so well Eric. All of your fur babies too😊
Hi Eric!
I've been watching you for years and I keep waiting and waiting to see a spring cleaning type video. Understanding that you were always on the move it didn't make sense until now. But I don't think there's a better a better time than now that you have all this space. Just clean out the RV, purge or store some things that way you can better organize the essentials so you have more living space! Especially for the kitties and Tig. I hope I get to see that soon it's going to be sooo fulfilling! 🎉😊
This is cool, you have visitors camping with you. Homer and wife are lovely. I love Dana and her family too.
I love the fact you got a dog! You name them like I do, I've had Puffy, Tuffy and Scruffy . Names are the game lol.
Life can be ruff with a new pup 😄💕🐶👍
Tig is a cutiepie with distinctive looks. Hope you have many wonderful years together.
Oh Eric! I am LOVIN’ your property and you new member of the family, Tig! He absolutely adores you! I really need to tell you though: PLEASE keep your doors closed and windows closed if they both do not have screens on them. Rattlesnakes, scorpions, and spiders are out and about, and open doors and windows are an invitation. I have PERSONAL experience in that department! I’ hate to hear of you, a friend or your “kids” being bit or stung by an intruder. Just installing a screen or screen door could, potentially, save a life. Anyway, Tig has really learned so much in the short time he’s been with you! Proud papa! I’m sure Tara will eventually warm-up to Tig, and they’ll become best of friends! Please take care, As-Always, Virginia
hey Eric what's going on man glad to see you and tig and opie and Tara are getting things adjusted
Tig looks / sounds like a great pup. You're made for each other. Enjoy each other
Tig is such a mellow little guy. I think you guys are a perfect fit.
Eric, YOU are such a wonderful Dad! YOUR fur family Loves you Your babies are so well behaved. I see how content each one is. They really look up to their ALPHA male Dad. I'm just so thrilled for you Eric. I've never seen you so happy and content. It Looks so good on you. Thanks for sharing your precious family with us. Hugs for all, Louise
What a great little dog Tig is. And I love your little washer spinner I’ve had two of them they’re great.
What a good boy and so sweet. Yes, keep him close. A coyote got a small dog (chi) in our park (in AZ) a couple of years ago.
Gonna Love watching Tig grow with you. Maybe consider a fenced dog run? I get so sad seeing many "Lost Dog" posts in the Arizona mountains 😢. Appreciate the time and expertise you put in to your videos!
Things will get easier with the puppy as days go on and also between the cats and Tigg
Glad to see your Pack is starting to form. Happy Trails
I can see that little Tig Tig has gotten bigger. He is a doll and is staying by you already. Babies maybe easier to train off leash because food and water is what they rely on. He may have Opie to watch and entertain him when you leave and just starting to feel loved and at home. Wow! Such a nice little family you have now.
My puppy has never had an accident in the house. I feed him small meals and take him out when he wakes up. I stop feeding him at 4 or 5 pm, take him out and take him out again at 8pm. He sleeps til about 4 am. It's all about the timing of feeding and going outside. We spend a lot of time outside, too. Your puppy is so cute!
Eric the getting up at night sucks but is definitely part of puppy hood. Within the last 2 years I’ve went through it with 2 new pups a year apart 1 at a time. I got axle (pit bull) at 6weeks and went through it then when he was all trained and a year old I got him a partner (king) bully XL 10 weeks old so started the up at nights all over again. Even being 100 percent vigilant you will still have accidents and need a spot cleaner. I’d never raise a pup without one. Bissel makes the best one period. Get a bissel spot clean pet pro. You will thank me if you do. It’s a must. Mine is 2.5 years old and ready to go at all times. I do however keep distilled water in it to help keep from having corrosion issues.
Tig has such a safe space. What a great beginning to a life long friendship.
Loved seeing the progress with Tig. On your last video I wondered if the rock was hot on his feet, so I'm glad you talked about it here :) Hope you lighten up with Honda sale. My siblings and I each had a Honda 55 before we were 12 yrs old.
Yes. Me too. ❤
The cats and Tig will learn to get along. The base camp is coming along nicely
Suggestion, I live in AZ during winter(snowbird) and I noticed this spring when I was cleaning the Harley up, my dash was fading and my bike sits under a roof when not being rode and covered. So I would suggest a some flexible cover for bike otherwise the AZ sun will age a bike quickly. Been in AZ five years and have never been to Sho low. Except one April it was warm enough and rode to it.
Aussies are also called “Velcro” dogs. Great breed. I know he’s a mix but I really see the Aussie in Tig. Have fun at puppy training preschool.
One suggestion I would offer up living in the area that you do is to put an Apple / Andriod Air Tag or a similiar product onto the puppy's collar. Then when you turn your back for a minute and later cant find the puppy you can always grab your phone and track him down wondering around and smelling all the smells before a coyote finds him. Grats on the puppy!
Place is looking good. Nice to have friends visit, and help some. Looking like Tig will fit right in. It does take a lil time for pets to get used to each other. He's precious. 🙂👍
Love seeing how happy you are creating your homestead and your new puppy! ❤
Tip, get a piece of plexiglass installed on the lower section of your screen door before Tig scratches through it.
A day or two late and a dollar short… if I was visiting you I would be out there moving some rock. What’s with that ppl - good hard work is what keeps us healthy! I was raised that way and I was also taught you get a dog before you start a family. Dogs take work and responsibility. I’m glad everything is working out for you Tig, Tara and Opie ❤
Keep fresh water for Tig outside in the shade. Dogs don’t handle (heat stroke) the sun like a cat. Remember dogs sweat through their paws & mouth.
I feel so sorry for the cats...
Tig had to learn the routine. So he knows what's going on now. And they all have to have time to get used to each other. My dog Scooter was house trained pretty fast. I just took him outside often. Sounds like it's going well though.
Hi Eric, been following you since the early days. Tig is one cool pup! Take care.
Off Grid Geothermal COOLING! Hi Eric, Thank you for the video. Tig is really cute I am sure Opee and Tara will bond all togerther. 🙂 Reba is a good little bike. The lake looks dirty because it's more of a pond and it looks very shallow if it was deeper it wouldn't look so brown.
Great pup!!! Just a note cat food is very high in protein too much for dogs 😮
Love your new place so cool 😊❤️
Love your new intro. Tig and his bark. And homesteading too.
What about something large in the center that provides shade and vehicles can drive a circle around it?
And I just realized, Tera had to have been beaten as a kitten. She looks scared shitless when looking at Tig, very unusual for cats.
Just remember, in that kind of country, everything has a tendency to poke, sting, or bite. Snakes, spiders, scorpions, wasps, hawks, eagles, owls.
Tig is a cutie!
Love the new starting. Tig is SO cute!
Have you thought about tenting a Bobcat to spread that rock? Could be big fun.
Watch the astroturf. It's gets really hot too
TIG is there for part of your life. Your there for all of his life. Same with the cats.
So true, you have to be more active being a dog owner. I enjoy the update progress reports and the interactions with your kitties, I had no doubt about Opie adjusting easily. I wish you took a shot of TIG passed out on Aubry's lap, tho.
Puppy piddle pads .... put them inside ... then the next day stake the used ones outside where you eant him to go ... you got this .... it will be ok get a bell on the door and ring it when u take him out and he will learn to ring it ... and sidecar for the dog ....
Love Tig. and the kitties... great family you have Eric!
Crate training IS a good thing to do Eric -You are doing good 👍
A quad with a box blade on the back and or buckey on the front might be usefull keep the rock smooth
Your puppy is cute, Eric. I hope your cats can get along with him. Have Fun!
As a lifelong dog owner it would be a good idea to fully fence the property. As he gets older he will get braver and curious. Especially when there’s wildlife around to investigate.
Wonder what that lake will look like after rainy season
Tig is going to want to go off-roading with you. Better get the quad.
Looks like it's all coming together. What a sweet pup.❤😊
Atv can very helpful around base camp tho Eric nice utility quad plow snow,pull a drag for flattening grade and driveway
Tig's a 🌟 star🐕
Homestead is looking great 😊
Tig is such a sweet boy. Friends for life. Opie is such a good boy. Tara just isn't as trusting as Opie. Love your babies!!!!
If you let tig follow you into the Lake. He'll start swimming and he won't be afraid of the water. But that only works when they're puppies.
Your place is really coming together, Eric. Tig is coming along too. Congrats! Enjoy your time with your buddies.
Puppies need access to frsh water all the time, indoors and outdoors. They cannot tolerate hot or very cold temperatures for very long. Acouple of shady areas with dog beds would be good. He is such a sweet boy.
Have you been to Fool Hollow Lake? They have restrooms and showers! Looks clean too
Should get a puppy harness for Tig, they're more comfortable 😊
Eric you seem the happiest I’ve seen you yet. Glad your enjoying Show low. We have an acre there also which we have never seen. Bought it 8 years ago sight unseen. 🚌
I was 63 when I raised my last Lab puppy. Ten weeks old. I survived it but had forgotten how much work it is. Never again! Got my last dog from the pound. A two year old Yorkie! Less work but still a lot of training. Good luck Eric! My Lab still loves her crate. Her safe zone! Oh my Lab is 10 now.
What will Tig's full size be?
I would put a top on the crate make him more secure and the kitties will have another spot to lay
Just FYI they suggest not trimming branches on pinion pines until the first freeze of winter. Bark beetles are attracted to fresh cuts and will infest the tree quickly
A puppy is like a toddler it needs constant supervision,where as cats can look after themselves
Question!!
What's up with your right rear wheel on tater tot? Looks like it's camber is out
Put a tracker on that puppies collar~! IF he wanders off..you can 'radar' your way to him..Iphone or Samsung have great affordable options with long life batteries..I have one on both my dogs and both my cats..
Take a ride to Big Lake 9000 elevation, close to you guys, just FYI. Also check out Fools Hollow lake state park..
I love seeing you so happy and everything working out for you with your furry friends. Tars will come around. Thanks for sharing and as always stay safe and God bless love ya Nancy
Exciting. Eric, it has been so much fun watching you over the weeks. Thanks for sharing you "set up" experience with us. You make it look easy, but I know it's not as easy as it looks. Kuddo's to you and your growing fury family.
you need to keep the water bowls full for the animals in that dry heat they can dehydrate very quickly
Hey Eric with all that wind you should look into a windmill that produces power to your solar system!?
I'm already at 100% with solar in the daytime. Can't produce anymore with wind generator, plus the wind dies at night when I lose solar also.
Eric. Keep bowls of water everywhere for him. He is beautiful!!!
This is so good to see...very happy to see you happy!
I was 38 when I got my first dog...Congrats again Eric.
