@@gamerlady1860 I was there in June of 2019. ☺️

Good to see you again also. 💖 I am so sorry you lost Sammie, how heartwrenching to hear this news. 💔 I still treasure the pictures I have with her and meeting her at RTR. You gave her a wonderful life my friend and she was so lucky to be with you. I am sending my condolences to your loss as well. 🐶💖 Thank you so much, time really is the only medicine. ⏰ Take care of yourself as well and remember life is so precious and short, I have lost so many humans as well in the last few years in their early 60's my sister was one of them. Don't put off anything you have always wanted to do. Be safe as well. 💖🐶😁✌

Thank you so much!!! 💖 I have been so behind on Instagram as well but glad you are there as well. 🤗 I hope to do a video and post on Instagram soon on some new changes that I am doing to be cool because we are not able to go up into really high elevations anymore because I struggle with Acute mountain sickness above 8,000 feet and our rigs are struggling with climbing the Utah mountains in the heat so we are staying at the 5,500 to 6,000. I hope what I have coming helps but will share later on. Stay safe and cool out there also. 😄💖😁✌

Thank you so much!!! 💖 I can understand what you are saying and what you felt. I still kep Milo's water dish where I kept it. I couldn't get rid of his brown kennel and have back near my bed and his ashes are in it so he is still traveling with me...😍🐶💞 I can't remember how long but at least a month or more when I slept I could still feel him laying against my leg and sometimes I would constantly wake up because I thought I still heard him breathing but that is gone now. I think my mind wasn't wanting to let him go and needed to still feel his presence. I can still invision him on floor of the van looking out. It is so hard, I will miss him forever!!! 💔 I am also so grateful for the 15 years and 3 months we had together, he was my longest living dog as well. I was so incredibly blessed to have had such an amazing and adorable pet companion as him. Take care and thank you for sharing, taking about the loss and grief I know is the step forward to healing. 💖🐶🙏🥰✌

They currently have I think because of everything being picked up word/sound filters from programs so it definitely has gotten out of control because I no longer feel like I am in a free country anymore. The sponsorship is out of control in my opinion. 💔 Pet loss of horrible. I was so close to Milo and we were adventure and travel buddies since he was a puppy so I did mpre things with him and spent more time with him than I did with any human so that is why so many people can actually give more deeply over a pet loss than even a human loss. I am feeling it that deeply. 💖🙏🐶😊✌

Thank you so much, it has been 25 years that I have had dogs in my life and many times I had multiple dogs so this is extremely hard for me to not have a dog. My next video will explain more. Dogs were also my career so thay have have been everything to my and my passion in life. Because of van life and the extreme hot weather it better for me not have anymore dogs right now and a few other reasons that I mentioned in this up coming video. It is a difficult place for not having another dog but I do have faith in God that he will help me through this difficult time one baby step at time. It does feel pretty awful at times. 🐶🙏💖😊

I can understand your grief for your precious Fergie and my heart goes out to you!!! 🐶💖🥰 I am so happy you have more precious babies to love on now. I have had a total of 6 dogs in my life in 25 years and many times multiple dogs at a time. My next video will explain more. I started out with 3 dogs together about 1 year apart so that meant they all became seniors at the same time. I lost 2 of those seniors within 3 weeks apart. I got Millie at 1 years old and Buster was 3 years old one year before I lost those 2 senoirs so close together. I was facing losing my 3rd senior so I decided to get a puppy to help me through that grief and that was my precious Milo. 1 week after getting Milo I had to say goodbye to me precious 3rd senior dog Sully. I truly would have never made it through that difficult time without Milo. Milo was there when I lost Millie and Buster later when I was fulltime in van life. Milo was that precious fur baby buy my side through so much fur baby lose and also when I lost so much precious humans in my life as well to passing on. Now I face losing him alone. 😢 I just can't have another dog during the remaining time of my van life because to me the summer are just to hot and hard for me with a dog. I can't do that anymore because I don't travel far anymore because my body is slowing down alot. It has to be this way right now for me move forward without a dog. I so get to love in the dog Lucky that Kent and I found in the desert and we saved his life. Kent kept him because he is set up more to keep a dog cool and he has more space for a dog that size. He gets so excited to see me every time I come over so this has to okay for now. But one day I do hope if God willing I will have another Griffon again. For now God is my strength to get me through this difficult time. 🐶💖🥰✌

I understand exactly what you went through I also had 3 shih tzu at once and lost two within 2 weeks of each other, Fergie was the youngest of the three and my best friend, I will never forget her for as long as I live. I’m so glad you have the dog you and Kent saved that’s a blessing for you. I wish all the best for you, God will give you your own pup when you can give her the life you want for her. God Bless You for caring so well for your babies while you had them.

Good to see you. It's a painful loss. Just do one day at a time ,you will get there. We will still be here.❤

Thank you so much and so sorry about your loss!!! 💖 I know time heals these losses and I know my faith in God will help me through this. This is also so hard not only for losing Milo but because this is the first time in 25 years I am without a dog in my life and I just can't get another one right now while I finish out my van life. One day at time now. 💖🙏🐶😊✌

Thank you so much!!! 🐶💖😊✌

Thank you so much for the support and great to see you. 💖😁 I know so many of you miss Milo as well, I just have to work out my grief of being here without him but for now when I come here and video it is a constant reminder that he is gone. I feel that loss over and over again. I will be okay with time. 🙏🐶💖😊✌

Thank you so much, good to see you!!! 💖 I am so sorry you had a hard day as well and yes grief will still hit like waves even years later. In some of the other post and my pin comment I mentioned some reasons why this is so hard but I think also is because I have been hit also so hard with back to back losses. In 2021 my precious sister past away who was my best friend in life, in 2022 a dear male friend of mine past away from a stroke who I knew for 12 years and his absence was so horrible for me, then I was hit with losing my beloved and precious Milo in Oct of 2023. I think also the grief from all of that loss came crashing down on me like a ton of bricks. 💔 I saw I needed so much time to process all this loss. I like the idea of coffee chats. Thank you again so much!!! 🐶💖🙏😊✌

Thank you so much my dear friend and always great to see you on FB. I am so happy we are connected there. 🙏🐶💖😊✌

Thank you so much for sharing and so happy van life has worked for you for 4 years now and how exciting for your up coming walk you have planned and wish you all the best on your journey. Sound exciting and fun. 🤗 Thanks for coming back and saying hi, Milo was such a huge part of my journey as well as with Buster in the beginning. Time and God will help me, I believe this. Take care and come back and say hi again. 🙏💖🐶😊✌
