Cali's 2nd Birthday Celebration at the Cabin | Man's Best Friend

[@craigretzloff]

Rarely do dogs have this most fortunate combination of; responsible ownership, a loving family, and an ideal environment. What a beautiful situation you have created for yourselves up there! I’ve got to say, you really did strike gold with picking out, Cali! What a wonderful temperament she has! Your content is inspiring, and your presentation is immaculate, so please keep the great videos flowing, Shawn!

[@FelonyVideos]

"A boy and his dog!" My dog is my most loyal friend.

[@CCRider5312]

craig retzloff I agree 100%! 😀

[@winstonsmith11]

Couldn't have said it better than that.

[@craigretzloff]

Adam Barnett Well, thank you! My praise here is simply the fruit of, Shawn’s solid labors. He’s the man, and that, Cali, really is, quite the golden treasure! I love this channel!

[@HamsterLife_EnglishLearning]

I agree! Awesome video of a pretty, smart girl.

[@shanebeaudrot777]

I love watching Cali. Her expressions are pure joy and contentment. I have literally seen her smiling as she wags her tail. She certainly knows how to entertain herself.

[@peggygrubb3564]

God bless you and your family! Cali is a beautiful dog

[@cwalter24]

Cali and Scout. Happiest dogs in Canada.

[@TheeGrandBee]

It just occurred to me how you've blessed all of us out here with Cali's presence in our lives. I love your puppy as much as I love my own. I know for a fact there are a lot of other folks here that feel the same way. Thank you.

[@mariaandcream]

Love this. I fully believe Cali watches over Shawn, as much as he watches over her.

[@czykrepublic4323]

You must groom her a lot Shawn. For how active she is out in the woods, she always looks very clean and well kept.

[@comsigninc]

CZYK Republic. We’ve had numerous Golden’s it seems that no matter how dirty they get, once they dry out, they are almost self cleaning. They golden coat amazing.

[@samanthadavis906]

I've had two in a row and agree. Only downside is their shedding. But I got used to that. Positives outweigh the negative.

dog loss is the hardest. dog love is the greatest.

[@Murphy-E]

You are right and I greet you from the Czech Republic

[@guesswho8327]

Absolutely true comment. I moved to the Philippines from Canada with my Boston Terrier. Six months later he died from cancer and I cried my eyes out. My Sam Boo even made it onto 2 dog calender's in 2013 in Canada and the USA, and was featured on Jan. 1 for the one calendar....Dad was very proud of him. I am now "owned" by a Rottweiler and Black Labrador who are the love of my life, other than my wife of course. When a person looses their dog, a part of your life is also lost. You can't beat the love of man's best friend.

[@Murphy252000]

@@guesswho8327 I lost my Murphy 5 weeks ago, he is on my page in videos I took for fun. I miss him so much. How long did you wait until getting another dog? Did you feel like you were almost cheating on your last dog?

[@guesswho8327]

@@Murphy252000 Actually I had my Lab prior to loosing my Boston Terrier. None the less, i still miss him 3 years later. I also have a mixed breed dog, and a Rottweiler because the local village idiot/politician threatened my life. 1 year later he committed suicide as a direct result of being corrupt. and getting caught. Such is life here in the Philippines now. Love my wife and dogs and she says that I love my dogs more than her. Noooooo, but my dogs love for me is a different love

[@Murphy252000]

Guess Who Hahhaha, what sort of nature has the Rottweiler, always interesting in a Doberman but worried it would be scary.....

[@baronvonslapnuts]

She's a smart, sweet, beautiful girl, who deserves all the love in the world. Anyone who disliked this video needs to reexamine their lives.

Pets are a great way to love and let go... and love again. Very important lesson in life.

Cali has been a major influence for my girlfriend and myself leaning towards getting a Golden Retriever. Beautiful pup Shawn.

[@jackpoirier5023]

Shawn, I enjoy all your videos. Even the bunch you have with Joe in them (hahahaha). But I think this has to be one of my all time favorites. The love you share with Cali is amazing. You 2 are perfect together. Happy birthday Cali. Many more to come!

Sean our dogs have such short lives to live and it's our responsibilities as humans to make sure that that short life is the best life that dog could possibly have and you have done that do you have done that and you will continue doing that I think as humans are the only thing we can do show our dogs love for the short time that they're here and the best life possible thank you for being an animal lover God bless

[@bradlangshaw3580]

Happy Birthday Cali. I have been following your channel now for the past 6 months and love the videos. I had a gift to be sent to you for Christmas all the way from Australia, however due to illness, it is still sitting on the table at home. I will post it as soon as I am able, which may be February sometime. I look at your videos and I am taken away to a place of tranquility that you have made from a simple hut in the wilderness to a home. The enjoyment and stimulation that Cali must receive from that environment is envious by most of us avid subscribers. On behalf of all of your Australian friends, Merry Christmas to you and your family Shawn. May the forthcoming year bring you peace, joy and good health. Take care, Brad.

Had a golden retriever from the time I was a Kid until late teens.. Jake lasted until he was 13ish years old. He developed a form of cancer of which I can't remember. Spent months sleeping by his side in the kitchen and vice versa, he passed away or was put down after I had moved out of the parents house. I was heart broken when I couldnt be there in his last hours. truly mans greatest friend. No greater love than a loyal dog.

Shawn I have to be honest with you. Cali is the reason i started watching your channel to begin with. Like you i have had dogs most of my life and i have learned to spot a good one when I see one. And Cali is a good one Shawn. I really felt your love for your past dogs in the way you talked about them. And Gunner sounds like a particularly good one by the way you described him. And I am sorry for your loss. I have my girl Penny by my side right now a 13 year old Basset Hound who has been more loyal to me than any person has ever been. I love her. As you love Cali.
