an EmoTiOnAL week...* heartbreak, studio grind, couple days in oregon, & a happy ending *

[@MariaSilva]

i'm so sorry about toby, seeing you cry made me cry. i'm so freaking relieved he came home... i adopted a kitten a few months ago - my first one - and i can't even imagine the heartbreak. you deserve all the barbecue chips!!! also i do the cat magic carpet too HHHH anyways lots of love, i love love love to hear from you

[@leahsfieldnotes]

omg I was so tripped out in the beginning wondering why that sounded exactly like my mom! Sending you the biggest hugs Annabelle 🥺💗💕

[@lifeofpyper]

ily and your mom BIG HUGGSSSSSS

[@caitlinmariereacts]

this vlog brought me much warmth and smiles annabelle, thank you

[@lifeofpyper]

me is so very glad ☺️ enjoy your week ahead!

[@caitlinmariereacts]

@@lifeofpyper thank you and same to you!

[@CallMeCaroline]

Same here! she has such a talent in creating a cosy vibe with her vlogs.

[@claydean28]

i'm so glad that toby returned home and is okay. i hope you're settling well in nyc, i can't wait to see what's in store for you there. sending love, clay

[@leahsfieldnotes]

LMAO WHERE DO I APPLY TO BECOME A STUDIO ASSISTANT??? I WANT CHOCO MUSHROOMS ON MA FACE

[@clembug]

i’m going through a breakup right now and watching you be independent and cope so well really makes me feel like everything will be alright. lots of love

[@BronzeBellaBria]

Took the words right out of my mouth

[@clembug]

@Melinda G. i’m with someone new and very very happy

[@sarah_kale]

I started crying when Toby came back. My cat Max was missing once for weeks and honestly I was at this point where I had started loosing hope. But then our other cat, Tiger, one day out of the blue started screaming like never before (he never ever meowed, the vet even told us there might be a problem with his vocal chords) and there was our Max in the garden, just like that. He also was super emotional and wouldn't stop talking and cuddling for days. I was so relieved, so I really felt that part of your vlog.

[@Thisworldisagoner]

Aaaa!! This is such a cute story!! Thank you for sharing! Sometimes I feel like cats don't show emotions at all but its at moments like these when I know they keep it all cooped up for when in emergency. So happy hour cat returned :')

[@Wra8h]

😭😭😭😭

[@feverishflower]

Ive heard that whenever a cat or dog goes missing its good to leave an article of clothing or something that smells like you/your home outside so that they are more likely to follow that scent and return home! (Writing this for anyone who might happen to lose a pet one day)

[@slporter722]

I cried when you cried about missing your cat. I have been there and it’s intense suffering. I’m so happy He came back.

[@beingintroubleisafakeidea]

I had to scroll down to the comments 1 minute in and check if Tobi was OK! I'm so glad he came home.

[@stuffedtoylover]

I can't help but agree with all the love in these comments. thank you so much for creating something so lovely and human

[@lifeofpyper]

🥺❤️

[@KittyChubbyBunny]

4 years ago our cat, I had grown up with, went missing and we never found him. Fortunately, we were able to offer a home to a starving abandoned cat we came across in the process of looking. Losing a cat is so difficult and such a heartwrenching thing to go through, but I am beyond relieved and happy for you that Toby returned

[@ichig0mash1mar0]

I'm so sorry about what happened to your cat :( the same thing happened to me about 8 years ago with my dog while my family was away on a trip:( I'll never forget her.

[@nataliae.marroz]

A lot of cats run away from home around March as their instinct tells them it's time to make babies - I'm glad that in the end Toby found his way back home 💕

[@lifeofpyper]

oh wow, that makes sense. after 12 years toby got braveeeee we are so grateful toby found his way back to us :'-)

[@nataliae.marroz]

@@lifeofpyper maybe he had some midlife crisis lol - also the outdoor cats in your area might be the reason why Toby left, he could’ve heard some lady cats meowing outside

[@danacalanog4480]

i feel like Luke is such a good friend to you! been seeing him in your vlogs for the longest time

[@96Wanja]

So happy Toby came home in the end and right before your move! I hope NY is treating you well, can't wait for the next vlog🌺💛

[@ginamatahati]

i literally cried during the whole video because my cat had recently gone missing too.. fortunately someone brought him back after we posted missing announcement in our neighborhood group. hoping toby and friends a long healthy life 🧡🧡🧡🧡🐱🐱

[@katelyn742]

sending so much love for how strong and brave you are, but also sharing these intimate moments with us. thank you annabell for bringing us light in our darkest moments, laughter when we need it but also letting us be vulnerable together in this community. so many warm hugs and love from us. xoxo

[@JonCach]

this vlog of yours made me feel a different emotions, but i found myself smiling towards the end especially when toby came back home! sending hugs and love on your way, annabelle.

[@lifeofpyper]

thank you jon

[@rinkarin3619]

Anabelle i wish i could give you the TIGHTEST hug ever!!!! I believe this period has been tough for many of us for some reason, very emotional and unproductive..but maybe it's better to see it as it's preparing us for something good and very positive💛 i hope you are slowly healing and recieving good energy🌸🌼🌸

[@lifeofpyper]

thank you for the love and kindness

[@georgie9775]

So happy Toby came back. When I went through my first big breakup my family cat who had been around since I was 6 died at the same time. It was horrible.

[@Mayaleikin]

haven’t watched your vids in forever cuz of my busy schedule, definitely missed ur lovely vibe! this video had brought me so much joy xx

[@lifeofpyper]

Get rest!! Thank u for the love amidst your busy schedule ❤️

[@14butterfingerz70]

I haven't come across this channel for a while now, and I've forgotten how relaxing it is to watch these! I've missed it here :')

[@lifeofpyper]

thank u for finding ur way back

[@lunix3259]

My cat has been missing since July 2020. I cried like you did. Keep your hopes up and don't give up on Toby.

[@Gertyprunes69]

I'm sorry, I hope he comes back to you🌸🧚‍♂️

[@venus5274]

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I really hope your cat comes back to you safe and sound. Don't give up!

[@jenna-nl5gx]

oh no )):

[@kythefairy2029]

Fingers crossed they’re just having a lil extended holiday at a big house with other cats in and all the fancy food they could possibly ask for💚 I had a cat when I was younger that we had to keep going back and getting from this ladies house!! They very well could be safe, and taken in!! Keep your hopes up love💚💚

[@lunix3259]

Thank you for your support ❤️ I do hope he's safe and not out there eating garbage, it really breaks my heart thinking what's possible

[@Thisworldisagoner]

This vlog was so beautiful. Right at the beginning I started crying because I understand how it feels when a pet disappears. I have five cats, three of them are outdoor cats that come and eat and sleep at our home everyday but somedays one of them would disappear for two to three days. And even if I know they will come back, the waiting part is just so dreadful. Anyway, I just started clapping when I saw the part with your mom's text of Toby's return. He is such a beautiful and loving boy. The rest of the vlog reminded so much of my goofy friends. Its been so long since I met them and had fun. *Sigh* so happy that you had such a good time with them.

[@Sofia-nc1tu]

I’m so happy he came back. The moment you said he was missing I began to cry. My baby didn’t come back, but we did find him. A car accident. He was only 3 years old. I thought we would become grownups together (I’m 15). I really loved him. I just wanted him to have a happy life.

[@ashleyweil185]

one of my worst fears :( I’m so glad he came home!

[@afra9716]

seeing you lose a cat reminded me of what's like to lose one as I lost mine last year but seeing him come home made me so relieved!! I'm glad that you got the happy ending side of losing a pet. thank you so much for being vulnerable on camera and letting us share our stories with you, it makes me so incredibly happy that we have this lil community

[@psycmajor]

i’m so sorry about toby, i started crying when you cried. it’s been a rough couple weeks for me as well. feels good to cry and let those emotions come out.

[@eileenwrites]

I am so happy for you that he is back in safety and home! I am watching your videos since three years and you always made my day better. I could sit there, bawling my eyes out, and you speaking about fabrics or just talking about makeup (wich I don't even use!) made me feel better. Now seeing you like that is so heartbreaking for me - I mean you are a part of my life by now - and I just really really hope for the best for you to happen! Out of all the people I know you (a person I only "know" trough YT) deserve it the most! much love from Germany

[@mackenzie1968]

annabelle, i've been watching you for years and just wanted to say i appreciate you so much. thank you for everything you do.

[@fardareismai4495]

Aww god, losing a pet is so incredibly hard... I know what that feels like too well. I am glad it's alright in the end.

[@saraisanchez1288]

Your channel has always brought me so much comfort during my hardest parts of university. I love you

[@medhakishun1669]

occasionally things will fall back into place. It's life. you have to keep moving on and hold onto that last strand of hope. i hope you feel better.

[@tabitha1762]

i cried when you were talking about Toby coming home!! my sweet boy Jason went missing in November 2019 when he was only 1, while I was studying abroad, and he hasn't come back, it's so heartbreaking - so I'm so glad for you that Toby came home especially considering you were going to be leaving very soon after

[@aureatora]

I'm so glad Toby came back, I was hoping for it the whole video T_T

[@jademorris2316]

You and your friends seem to have such a warm chaotic energy I love it ❤️

[@andrespanaderia]

I'm happy to see you happy!! I hope you're doing well despite of the pressure and stress this pandemic has brought! I'm very happy that I can get to watch your videos again! I have been an avid watcher since you started college and I'm happy that I get to see you grow as I strive to grow too. I'm in college now too and is under fashion design. You have inspired me a lot and you mean a lot to me! Thank you so much for bringing joy to your viewers! Love from the Philippines! Mwaaaah!!

[@lenouchkkk]

aaaaah this vlog brought me so much comfort :((( lots of love to you Annabelle!! I'm glad toby made it back home safe

[@lifeofpyper]

[@erinmckenna5520]

ah i’m so glad toby came back, i hope all is well and that you have a good week

[@aiaiai8737]

Gosh, I understand your pain regarding Toby so much... So so glad he came back safe and sound!A few weeks ago, our cat went missing during the biggest snow storm we had in years. Luckily he returned after 5 days, but I was devastated the whole time, as I wasn't able to go home and help searching for him. Apart from that, I'm having a hard time, as some serious things are happening to me, my family and even my friends. I feel terribly burnt out. But in the end, we're all in this together, challenging life as it goes on. Thank you for your vlog, dear Annabelle, it cheered me up for sure! You deserve only the best, I send you some love! 💛

[@JosietheChau]

cinder is too cute! i am so glad that you had wonderful neighbors who tried to help you find toby again. i am so relieved to know he is back home! thanks for sharing a piece of your life with all of us ❤️

[@EdTheGirlo]

I know how you feel about losing a cat... I’ve lost three and they’ve never returned home and one of them was my special kitty Newt. I miss him so much he was a snuggly kitty... I’m glad you got Toby back :)

[@eriprincess]

your videos give me hope to keep going and i can’t explain why but i am very grateful that you exist

[@stlstlstltsi]

This made me cry so much to hear you at the end talking about how relieved you were to get your cat back, as my cat Lafayette passed away just a few days after my birthday a few months ago. I wish so much that he would come back home.

[@lifeofpyper]

Sorry to hear Stephanie, I wish for Lafayette to rest in peace. Sending love 🥺❤️

[@rakamukherjee9070]

Jason was so sweet! ❤️ watching your family always makes me appreciate my own. I feel so blessed to have them

[@BLoren]

So happy Toby made it home. 💞 Watching all your fun with friends made me feel happy. ☺

[@najyaindra2292]

this vlog made me feel all sorts of things. i laughed, i cried, and felt so much warmth. i haven't been able to hangout with my friends because of the virus but i am so happy to know that you're able to do that before moving out :') hope you're doing well, annabelle. ❤️

[@pietradeister767]

i'm so happy to know that toby came back home and he's okay! Even though i never been into this missing pet situation i can't imagine how much you and your family suffered. Sending much love from brazil

[@brendalee8021]

Your friends are so lovely! :) this video is so warm.

[@evelina1777]

my kitty went missing a few days after my birthday. its been a heartbreaking six months. the worst part is that i don't even know he's okay. if he's alive and well or left this world. seeing your Toby come back filled my heart with so much joy... thank you, Anabelle, for everything.

[@carrot4325]

Your friend's humor is spectacular.

[@michaelamareckova8912]

I am sorry the pain you had to go through. Thank you for making such an amazing content for us even in the midst of that and I pray for you to feel better soon 🙏

[@VenkataMSru]

I don't have a cat but even thinking about someone losing their cat just pains me . I love cats, always pet the street cats , very sweet and lovable creatures but this teared me up so bad. So glad that Toby is back and well ❤

[@hannahbrewer2197]

3:50 wow, she has the most amazing silver hair. I could only dream of aging that well

[@usertams]

thank you for posting this wonderful vlog! it hurt me so much to know at the beginning that toby was missing bc i had the same experience for one of my dogs from years back and he got lost in a field and my family and i had to look for him for HOURS bc we were visiting relatives at that time, so we didn’t want to go home without him. so much crying happened but thankfully, my mom spotted him trying to bark but he couldn’t bc i think he got super parched 😢 i’m so glad toby came home! and i’m glad we found our dog huhu i can’t imagine that happening again to any of our seven lovely dogs now (my lost dog is now a father of 5!) i’d be devastated. thank you for sharing this part of your life, i’m sending you lots of love and light, annabelle! esp for your journey 🤍

[@kylefrancisco9538]

your vlogs really feel like home, and im so glad toby's safe!! sending you love

[@fairy_faye2734]

Relate so hard to the Toby stuff. My dog is 13 now and his dementia is worsening and the thought of losing him is breaking me. So pleased you had a happy ending. In England we are still in lockdown and I’m missing my family & friends more then ever whilst at uni so seeing you have fun with yours brought me a little hope into what I’ll hopefully be doing in a few months. Can’t wait for the next video :) x

[@jazzles8897]

thank you so much for this, Annabelle. I’ve been crying all day from an anxiety attack and even though I kept crying on and off throughout this video, it really made me feel like I wasn’t alone in my sadness and hurt. You make videos that make me feel safe and comforted, thank you so much 💜

[@sierrabagel]

One of my cats I had was originally a stray. But he and I were very close. We gave him food and a shelter and I saw him everyday. But when a blizzard was coming I couldn't find him anywhere! I went out yelling his name and I couldn't find him. But after the blizzard had stopped I went out to search for him and I yelled his names, and he came running towards me! I was so happy he was alive, I scooped him up and took him inside! We had him for almost 2 years before he passed away. His name was Kitsy and he was the sweetest tom cat ever! I miss him dearly!

[@martiisor]

Ugh MY HEART watching you put up the posters 💔💔 😩 my cat went missing for a week last winter and I legit could not cope. Put up posters and walked around the area every day looking, i was such a wreak. In the end she came back on her own, I think she may have been trapped in someone’s garage for a while. Glad it worked out ok ❤️

[@Wra8h]

Sobbing and sniffling over toby's story throughout. I watched every single video you put out since late 2016/2017, and I was hoping you were okay as you uploaded less frequently.

[@olyamitchell4145]

Awww....It was the most amazing vlog and so emotional. I cried in the beginning of this video and in the end. I'm so so so happy that you found your fluffy one. I also have similar story, a few years ago my cat "Rice" dissapeared and he never came back....so I really understand how you felt when Toby was missing. Sending you both my love from Russia
