Oh no, he is hard to see but when John says do you see him - you see the white on his chest. Thats our dog Jaxx. He was trying to be sneaky.

I was surprised with our 2 big dogs the cat kept getting closer to us.

Indeed, you have to ensure chains, straps or wire are also in good condition. It all could be dangerous and at 53 I can pack more straps than chains through the woods.

It would help alot. I'm the worst person in the world taking care of a chain.

Yes, they do. It's amazing how quite our home is from such a little guys absence.

He was way too young. It was so shocking we thought he had a bad tooth as he wasn't eating. We immediately got him into the vet (the next day). The vet said he had MMM (Masticatory Muscle Myositis) which was common in small dogs with small mouths. That we caught it in time, and he would be fine. However, within two days he had his third eye bulging out, severe pain and ended up at the Pet ER at that point we now believe it was a brain tumor that moved very quickly. The tumor ended up closing both of his eyes. So, one week and two days from the time I thought he had a bad tooth we had to say goodbye. We are still in shock and totally heartbroken. The vets and us were helpless on how fast everything changed. Maybe one day our hearts will heal from this but not today. Our home will simply NEVER be the same.

Thank you, posting and talking about him makes me both happy and sad. He was such a good boy. Our Mr. Bentley. Gone too young.

Why? They are a lot lighter to pack through the woods and they don't get tore up like you are probably thinking that they do.

Good idea, thanks.

It's been really rough. From the time he was showing signs until we had to say goodbye was 1 week and 2 days. We are literally in shock. Our lives have chnaged.... :(

I tell him all the time! I have bought soooo much safety equipment... ugh!

I love knowing this information. We are going to research that. Thank you.

That is awesome!! I stated the same thing his name should be Shadow. Looks like Shadow it is. Thank you.

You can actually see from one end of the bridge to the other. People treat it almost like an unofficial 4 way stop every other car goes. When I cross, I turn on my headlights as well. I know some people actually honk their horn. But you can actually see all the way down, but it is FAR.

Thank you!

@josevelasco3245 thanks for the tip. We have been looking at options. You are correct it takes a toll on you.

We do as well! The history is always so amazing.

Yes, we watch a you tube video with Roy Acuff singing that song. It's a great song with a lot of hometown pride.

@@nathanmeece9794 Nathan how old are you ?

@@mshum538 I'm 67

@klsc8510 yes, we heard that. It was originally there but isn't anymore. We don't understand why they took it out?

They call it Purple Head.

@@HighSpeedNoDrag interesting name. We will look that up. Thanks for the information.

@@BackHomeWithUs I am not sure if there are any historical record(s) in which to reference. I will say for the record, the name Purple Head denotes a ghost story regarding the horrible fate of a preacher riding the train and falling from the mail car resulting in himse;f being beheaded while in transit across the bridge circa late 1800s. The woman whom has cut my hair for the last 14 years is from Knox County and she as other locals referred to the bridge as Purple Head. I diegress andmust slumber. A major league thanks for the video as it stirs UP some memories.

@@HighSpeedNoDrag thanks for sharing this information!

@@Gamingreviewer300 she is a sweetie. She literally goes around the house to each window to find me. She is smart.

@@BackHomeWithUs 😃❤❤❤ that's special!! Nature is so amazing! Peace and love from Mississippi

@lestersegelhorst2776 that's so sad. Thank you for this information we will check them out. We have lost covered bridges and iron bridges here in Indiana. :(

@BackHomeWithUs I live about an hours drive north of chester Il. Let me know when you plan to visit. Maybe I can join in I found an article that said a contract had been awarded and repairs will begin late this fall. To be completed by winter 2025

@@lestersegelhorst2776 excellent!

@@spaceghost8995 You better before we do! 🤣 Thanks for the information. We will look into this. Can't wait to see it.

@@BackHomeWithUs Yes!

@@BackHomeWithUsvideo the date/time stamp thats often found on the concrete abutments on each end…👍

@mshum538 thanks for that tip!

@@BackHomeWithUs sure, you could add abandoned railroad tunnels to your adventures, they get pretty interesting from non-use …

I have seen those and they are sweet! You are correct they are costly but not worth your back/health. Thanks for the comment.

@EC2sit you're not supposed to shave dogs with two coats. We are kind humans.

You don’t shave German Shepards you nit wit.

@@BackHomeWithUs you shouldn't be a dog owner of you cant take care of trimming he's ass on summer is a winter dog not texas

@@BackHomeWithUs you can do whatever you're plain lazy and shouldn't have dogs .

This is so funny and yet so sad. On one side, you call someone a nit wit even though you are so wrong. And on the other side, you believe that shaving a dog that has two coats will help the dog. As a owner of several GSDS, please don't get one before educating yourself!

We are bear hunting we want to see them LOL (just no guns)

Yes, it is sad.

I had to look up capybara. I have never heard of that before.

Yep, he is my helper if I need it or not! Just a pain in the butt. Ha!

Thanks for watching! The right equipment makes the world of difference.

They all get more then they should. They are pretty spoiled. The vet would be very uphappy with us. Ekkk. Lol

You are so kind. These little guys make me smile. It's hard not to make them "too comfortable around me" as they are wild, but I have become their second Mom for sure. We were on vacation last week and I just worried so much about them. They were fine of course!

My little buddies! LOL

@@LiveLovely9 it's amazing what they figure out!

Thanks, we have been very pleased with it.

@@francisdeubell9497 The Sheppard Nala girl teaches the boys! Lol

Thanks, we were just talking about that. Ha.

Thanks for watching!

That can be in my future as well! Thanks for the comment.

Thanks, we really didn't feel like we over worked it and we see about checking into one of those hydraulic coolers. Thanks again!

They are very cute!

They are super cute!

thanks

They are each very different but fun!

Right! LOL

The camera doesn't do it justice, the sun was covered by the moon then came out more, more and more. It was really cool. The news said we would totally go dark - that did not happen, but it did get darker almost like the sun setting.

Thanks for the tip and we WILL try it! We will also video it and later do a follow up. Thanks again.

Thank you for watching and your feedback we greately appreciate it. We have already completed the shower pan however we have a flip property we will be starting and we will be sure to make lots of videos on it. Best!

Perfect :) sounds good! Hope to see more soon

Thank you, so far it's been great! We are very happy with it. Thanks for the feedback.
