Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland, Australia, about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online, so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)

Sorry to hear that brother

[@adoxartist1258]

That video of puppy Scooter playing with your littles was so sweet.

[@kezwall4506]

RIP beautiful puppy, will miss you in the videos. You sure had a good life on that property 😢

[@bign1667]

Great job giving him a wonderful 16 long years. Enjoy your freedom being pets free andand when ready, get a new puppy. But whatever you do, don't rush it and treat yourself to a holiday without needing to stress about pets.

[@GoranMagdic]

I am sorry for your loss. :(

Wow. Anyone else tear up watching this? R.i.p Scooter. What a little legend you were and the paw imprint you put on many, especially your family is astounding. You did a good job. Such a good boy. 🐾

7 years since I lost a dog, but I did more than tear up! 😢😭

I did more than tear up; I ugly cried. RIP Scooter.

I'm not even a dog owner and I teared up, made me think about my cat I lost last year, he was my shadow in the garden every time i was out there.

[@TheTrashsmith]

He will be missed

[@snappycattimesten]

16 years! How can you not mourn him like a member of the family he was? RIP Scooter and thank you for being alive.

[@geraldgamble6740]

I'm sorry friend, losing a pet is devastating. All we can do is remember how amazing and loving they were.

[@k.p.1139]

I am bawling like a baby! Sitting here looking out the back window where we have 3 of our fur babies laid to rest. Each one of them made it to nearly 17 years each. Mark, Nina and the boys, my heart mourns with you. Rest in peace little Scooter. You sure were a blessing for so many people.

[@Jurisrachel]

Yep; my eyes are also a'leaking. 😕

[@kymmaraldo1365]

To be honest, Mark, I couldn't bring myself to watch this this morning. I'm so sorry for your loss. Scooter will be missed. The buggers aren't with us for long enough. They put their claws around your heart and never let go. That was a beautiful tribute to him. Thanks for sharing with us xx take care

[@peteallyn412]

There are no words to describe the bond with our dogs. They are family. I’m sorry for your loss, Mark.

[@ThirdCoastGardening]

Sorry for your loss. Losing a dog is a difficult thing. Life is incomplete without a dog. They are family.

[@kele1264]

Oh no!!!! I'm so very sorry! Many of us know that pain, and we are with you, Mark! 💔😔😞😪😢🤗🐶 What a beautiful, loving tribute to Scooter! Rest in Everlasting Peace, Scooter! ❤💙🐾🐾 You'll live on in the hearts and memories of your adoring family!

[@lindahutchings5394]

Losing a fur baby is like losing a family member . We lost our pug in February, and the tears still come. We are sorry for your loss.

[@DirtFishMish]

RIP, Scooter - this was a beautiful tribute video. Please take care of yourself mate, it's never easy to say goodbye to our fur babies. ❤️

All good memories live on.❤

Rest in doggy heaven Scooter ❤

[@carolc6461]

I'm so very sorry Mark. They take a piece of us with them when they go don't they. We've lost both our old boys in the last couple of years, aged 18 & 16. They have left so many happy memories behind along with two un-fillable dog shaped holes. RIP Scooter, there's an infinite number of balls available in heaven, along with as many good boy treats as you can eat 🐾🐾♥️

All dogs leave PAWPRINTS on our heart 🐾💖✔️. Much love to all those who loved Scooter. God Bless you all! #DogsRock! #HugYourDogToday. #AdoptDontShop. #RescueFromAShelter

You will never eat fruit from that tree without thinking of Scooter. Sending love your way. Remember Scooter with a smile.

[@WhatTheColour]

I'm so sorry you must experience this heartache. As a dog lover myself who lost my 12yo bull terrier girl last year, I can share your pain. Please take comfort in the fact that you gave Scooter a brilliant, safe, and happy life. Lots of hugs from South Africa.

[@questioneverything9535]

My deepest condolences Mark. RIP Scooter. Our pets are so much of our lives. I feel your loss.

[@nimabevis4509]

So sorry, Mark. There's nothing like the love of an old dog. 💔 I know you'll miss him dearly.

[@T.SYomTov]

Rest peacefully, Scooter. He can have all the cane toads in the sky now.

[@Jurisrachel]

That was a LOVELY tribute, sir. I'm awfully sorry for your loss. You can tell he knew he was loved.

[@salineaddict9850]

I’m so sorry for your loss, Mark. Losing a pet is never easy, especially one you raised from a puppy. Rest in peace, Scooter. You’ll be dearly missed and never forgotten.

[@GERMANAITOR]

I just lost my Pug, Louis, on July 16th, 2023. He was 14. I've been a fan of yours for years Mark, and I truly hope you are able to continue on peacefully. As always, for Scooter and Louis, this isn't "goodbye", but "Bye for now." ❤️❤️❤️

[@KrissyFaith]

Scooter looks happy and well lived what a wonderful life ❤ sorry for your loss

[@theresamiller284]

All good dogs go to heaven. Be assured you will see him again. ❤

[@DrunkenRhinoceros]

Mark, I think everyone here that's owned, loved and lost a pet can sympathize with your sorrow. That loss is a serious gut punch to the heart. I lost 2 dogs a number of years ago, and I went without owning another for an 8 year span. 4 years ago, I found another. I'm glad I did. At the end of the day I learned that the joy they bring for the 10-15 years together is greater than the passing pain of loss. I wish you a speedy recovery. God Bless.

[@tfrank1326]

Scooter was such a happy, fun-loving dog. It's never easy losing one of our fur babies. So sorry for your loss.

[@darryldessa6444]

Thank you for sharing the memories if Scooter. My condolences 🙏 ❤

[@andybonneau9209]

Losing a dog is like loosing a child. Condolences.

[@bobwellman9717]

As one who has lost countless cats AND dogs, I can positively say that, although VERY painful, it is NOTHING like loosing a child. Just ask my brothers. Two of them have lost children and pets. They know the difference.

[@sharonthompson6293]

i know you mean well but from experience ...No it is not . just as losing a parent is not the like losing a child. May you never know the difference.

[@saltycat662]

It's almost the same but not quite. I've lost countless beloved pets but the hurt of losing my dad has haunted and hurt me more. Grief is the hardest emotion to cope with.

[@andybonneau9209]

@@bobwellman9717 I was using a figure of speech. As a father, I agree with you.

[@alistairdickinson4415]

So sorry to hear Mark. It's always hard to say goodbye, but life is always better having had them around, even when they're naughty. 16 years is a bloody good innings.

[@abh6967]

16 years of happy life… worth it

[@looweeg4229]

Rest in peace Scooter. May where you are be filled with your favorite treats, your red ball, trees to pee on and dirt to dig up.

Mark, that was such a beautiful dedication. I love that song you chose. My condolences to you and your family. My dog passed away at age 16, also. From your videos, it's clear that you gave Scooter a great life. He will be missed very, very much.😢

R.i.p. Feeling bad for you mark. Scooter was like a little human. Amazing dog and will be remembered!

[@julianhammerton]

Rip scooter. You were loved and loved back unconditionally

[@lorianderson2008]

What a beautiful and touching tribute, Mark. My beloved Pugsley is 14, deaf, losing sight & smell, walking stiffer every day. I dread the day I know is coming. All we can do is be eternally grateful for the love, loyalty, and joy these precious pets so freely give. There's a reason DOG is GOD spelled backwards.

[@loloholmes2793]

Please don't take the wrong way but when they get that far along, what quality of life do they have? Are you keeping him alive for him or for you? I'm not trying to be mean - this was a question my kids posed to me when my Westi, Jackie was so old, deaf, blind in one eye, he was having incontinence issues & it was obviousthat he was in pain trying to walk. My kids sat me down & explained I was hurting him more than I was helping him. Jackie was already old when he showed up as a stray & we gave him 6 yrs. He had a great final 6 yrs. Because we all loved him & didn't want to see him suffer, I had him put down. My kids & I were with him the entire time it took for him to pass & had him cremated with his favorite blanket. Ask yourself if you're prolonging the inevitable for you or for him. It's not easy but you have to put them first

[@lorianderson2008]

I appreciate your thoughts, but he isn't that bad yet. I just know the path he's on. But this is about Mark's sweet boy. I was just trying to show my empathy.

[@thirtythreeeyes8624]
