11 Years with Esme the Best Camping Buddy I Could Wish For ❤️

[@casanders9098]

Gee Michael, you scared the crap out of me, I thought it was going to be a eulogy. I love Esme, she’s why I started watching your channel years ago. Thanks for sharing her with us. ❤️

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Ohhh Sorry! 😬 - It started as an iPhone photo's suggested video and I loved it, so I edited it a little and added some music. Its a nice reminder of our trips thus far!

[@carmenmartinez2882]

@@TheEmporiumOutdoorssame here, You scared me. I have a 17 year old 35 pound dog we’re still camping together, we just got back from Yosemite and getting ready for another camping trip, seems to give him life since he loves it so much.

[@julsmorgan78]

Me too!!! One of the other channels lost his boy this week so I was 😮!! Give the babies a big scruff for me! Lovely set of memories there 😍

[@mudbugdave796]

❤️🐶 Esme is a really special family member

[@colleendelahaye2273]

You can see how much love there is! Many more happy returns to all of you! 🐶 🏕️ ❤

[@marionsokolik]

That was so beautiful. We love the videos with the pups. Hope for many more years to come.❤

[@lindafromidaho2932]

Thanks for sharing, Michael! She is the best!!

[@brucestclair]

Heart sank when I seen the title, thought the worst. Looking forward to more adventures

[@jenniferl4407]

Same here

[@l214laus]

I thought this was an R.I.P. video as well. I follow a few Husky Malamute channels where the stars are elderly. The inevitability of age doesn’t make it any easier to accept the fleeting reality of pets.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Not yet but I know I'm going to have to cross that bridge one day 😢

[@tedz.]

Such a sweetheart. I want one just like her.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

She a special "random dog breed" type of dog that cannot be found again - I'm very sad she cant have pups.

[@markvolesky5239]

Thanks for reminding us all of the little things that touch our hearts. Esme is such a grand champion , enjoy every precious moment with her.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks so much Mark! 👍

[@peterblackfly9437]

Hup. Hup. Marvelous pup

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Hahaha 👍

[@gabrielferaud8360]

They're angels, furry angels in this case. I wish you many healthy years to come. ATB. Gabriel.

Thank you so much!

[@frakismaximus3052]

Many many great memories ❤🐕

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Indeed - Lots of memories together!

[@RichardT2112]

Happy 11th birthday to our favourite girl! Honestly I thought I was going to be sad news! So happy all is well!!

[@michaelsouthen8889]

Michael, tears welled up in my eyes when I thought something untoward had happened to Esme. She is a wonderful dog that captured my heart. The main reason I became a subscriber was due to the obvious loving relationship you have with Esme.

[@miniwolverine6227]

What a beautiful baby puppy!! ❤

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thank you! 😊

[@mssixty3426]

Esme is such a beautiful dog, I love the expression on her face. My Buster is getting older (12 years), has white hairs around his eyes, and moves more slowly, but he still has the same loving expression in his eyes. I recently, unexpectedly, acquired another dog the same size as Buster, already 2 years old, a hunting breed. He didn't develop a close bond with me until I nursed him through the after-effects of an extensive surgery. I hope you enjoy many more years with Esme as I hope I do with Buster.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks so much - Its a good judge of character, on how much you care for your pets 😊

[@Kevin-qu6gb]

Thanks Michael for sharing, this is a wonderful video! I wish you all many more camping adventures together!

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks so much Kevin! 👍

[@MP-xw5um]

Such a good puppy...❤

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks so much!

[@timm.8841]

Esme is such a cutie 🥰😍 And you two together a the most perfect fit 🥰😮

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks so much!! 👍

[@MrMikebarrie]

Esme won the lottery when she found you guys. I hope she’s doing well. It’s tough watching these ever-loving fur balls age on us.

[@stoutkm]

Esme is absolutely the best girl. Though she likes exploring, she never goes too far from you. Best Regards, Kevin

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

She is the perfect dog for camping - very easy going and always keeps her head on a swivel!

[@IBRich62]

She is lucky to have you as her best friend and camping buddy.

[@grandpaadventure]

such a good looking dog

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks so much!

[@benterwellen]

Great little dog

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks so much!

[@earndoggy]

OMG dude, you had me in tears, I was flat out sobbing, I thought she was gone. I can tell you are going to cherish every remaining moment with her. Bless you both!

[@KaylynnStrain]

she doesn't look a day over 5 !!!! one special girl for sure

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

She doesn't show too much aging but her body tells her brain otherwise. A little bit like me - lol

[@ourmainelife455]

Always think precious Esme is the star. Thank you for this beautiful video. May she enjoy many more camps.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I hope so too!

[@David_Avidmind]

I am bold enough to speak for everyone. We all love Esme, thankfully dogs are immortal, even when the day comes that we can no longer see them, they come when called and are never too far.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Beautifully put ❤️

They ask so little and give so much…

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Indeed that is true!

[@ProfessorOutdoors]

Beautiful Esme! Here’s to more camping and snacks! ❤

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks so much!! I hope the Vallhunds are doing well ❤️

[@stevefisher2121]

For a second there I thought the worst had happened. Glad you still have your faithful camping buddy. Man's best friend for a reason!!!

[@barbaramckinstry7245]

Congratulations to you and Esme. May you have many more camping trips together. My dog Esme says thank you for having the same name

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Another Esme - Thats amazing 😊

[@RatdogDRB]

Ahhhh, I'm thankful this video was simply a thanks for what has been, looking forward to more. I was a little worried she was running rainbow bridges before watching it. She's a GOOD one, that Esme is. Camp on my friend.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Indeed - She's slowing down but not done yet 👍 We are going to make every trip count!

[@robmechanic]

What an amazing life you’ve had with her. Praying for many more adventures with your pretty girl. Love you Esme! ❤

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

We have been around and camped a lot!! She's always been at my side - Judging me 😄

[@johninalaska9563]

Hello Michael, Esme and Simon, what a nice tribute to Esme for being the best friend along with Simon a person can have. I remember those days when you guys really camped out and Esme was the main focus of the video. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks John - We are getting back to it!! Next video 😉

[@JP-lb5bm]

You scared the 💩 out of me. Thank god she is still with you, and us.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Very true - they are just pure love ❤️

[@randyrc58]

They are such wonderful creatures. My dogs bring so much joy to my life.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Me too - they are there for the good and bad times in life - and never complain ❤️

[@totherevolution]

For 11 more years

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I wish that would be possible!!

[@richvh3961]

Cherish the moments, we lost our Golden last October at 11 1/2 . Best camping,fishing and hunting partner you could ask for . Going to be hard first time out this year .

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

I'm so sorry for your loss. They are with us such a short amount of time but they make such a large impact. ❤️

[@l214laus]

Esme and later on Simon, are very fortunate to have an adventurous hooman to take care of them both in the wilderness. It is a reciprocal experience as Michael receives their undivided attention.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

So very true - we all just love being together 👍

[@davidgintz652]

Hello Michael, Esme and Simon That was a beautiful tribute to Esme. She such a beautiful precious baby. We can’t wait to watch more camping 🏕️ videos from you.

[@TheEmporiumOutdoors]

Thanks for the good cry and sharing this with us. lol :) :)
