First off, R.I.P to your precious handsome Blue. This video melted my heart because I felt Blue there with you both although not physically. He is there. Taz is , from what I can see polar opposite. But she is such a blessing in her own right. It was just so heart warming & wonderful to see her with you kinda carrying on Blues legacy. I know she can never replace him. But it’s as if she is picking up the torch so to speak & carrying on what you & Blue started together. I am just so happy that you are persevering & growing through the struggle of losing Blue. We love you, Maria & Thank you for being a part of my life (so to speak). Many prayers and blessings as you & Miss Taz continue this journey. ❤

[@sharongreen2163]

Maybe try getting Taz a blanket and put it with her when she sleeps. It can then go whoever she goes, and be a familiar comfort. My dog has his own blanket, and loves sleeping on it.

[@AlyssaCarter-m1i]

Just commenting to boost this. Such a good idea!

And probably give her some treats to make her abit distracted and more relax with the new place..🥺

i can't wait to see Taz become more confident and secure in herself and new situations. A lot of adopted dogs are just like her at first and then blossom into their full potential.

[@EricXVII]

9:28 A little tip I just learned last year. Those shells seem stale but youre supposed to microwave them for 15-30 seconds or so before you fill them(i dont remember the exact timing). The oil in them cooks them and they become crisp and amazing.

[@Lorzola-stew]

Yassss I usually put them in a toaster or oven or airfryer for like 2-3 minutes until they’re shiny ✨

[@lyfandeth]

Maybe it would comfort Taz is you bought her a dog bed, so that "my bed" could always be there for her? Something that's always home for her?

[@JaneDoe-xm9wz]

This is a wonderful idea. Even a blanket would be great.

Yeah, you could have been a Navajo girl in your previous life. 😅 A strong love for the wilderness and animals, not to mention a good cup of coffee with a campfire going. Just reliving my youth through your adventures. God understands both you and Taz are hurting. She may have been yanked up from her family too soon or suffered some kind of trauma before you met. Be thankful God interceded and gave you another best friend to hold each other up in troubling times. She's your angel, as you are hers. Oh! And I used to LOVE reading books up in the mountains too! Take care of each other and stay safe out there. Blue's watching over you two, just so you know. ❤

[@caryallen62]

So happy you have that little girl to fall back on. Females are a LOT different than males in my opinion with herding dogs. Unique in there own way, but I have a feeling you will add a male in the future. I know all about losing the "one" it's true. You will never have another Blue. Just try not to compare any of them to him. They will all fall short and it's not good for you or future doggies. Just an old man's thoughts. I have had mainly heelers but a couple of Aussies and a few mixes called Texas heelers. Outstanding dogs. Love you girl and we won't ever forget Blue.❤❤❤

Hi Maria, there are lots of opinions out there. I just want to tell you I have 2 dogs that came home as 12 week old pups, from the same breeder, grew up in the same environment, and one is Mr. Social butterfly, happy go lucky, the other is anxious and nervous about most things. Those are just their temperaments/personalities. They grew up the same way, in the same home. So I just watch and give each what they need in a given moment. You know what to do best with your dog. Too many opinions out there. We love to watch your adventures and seeing what you’re up to !! Take care ❤️
