We still have our Weimie, Senna, but he is 13 now which is amazing for his breed. So sorry guys. I have been meaning to comment for ages to thank you all HUGELY as you have seen me through Chemo and I can guarantee, I will never stop watching. I LOVE your success and want to be part of it moving forward, even in a tiny way. Stay strong, Tia is over rainbow bridge and playing with our guys Max and Reena. She will be well looked after I promise you. xx

I've also just cried my eyes out at your loss, I know it's a while ago now, not sure if you've got another dog or not, but I've been through the same thing a number of times and it never gets easier but it's amazing the amount of love you get and can give to a dog, they definitely are a member of your family. Thanks for the vids and keep them coming. I was watching one yesterday and you said you just over 4k subscribers and now look at your numbers!! Wow!! ..... not too shabby eh?

I really feel for you about the loss of Tia and I could see the emotion in you Dave as it really is like losing one of the family. When you have them from such an early age and the bonding you make with them and they aren't just a pet but one of the family and a best friend too. They are usually the last thing you see before you got to sleep and the first you see in the morning. They are there through the good times and the bad and the first one to greet you when you get home fro work. The unconditional love they give is second to none and the memories priceless. You really did do the right thing though and at least she isn't suffering anymore. Condolences to all the D&J family, time is a healer but you never forget.

I am crushed by the news of Tia and know how difficult this is. I know I am half way around the world but please message if there is anything I can do for you? As I have posted before, I lost my 14 year old German Shepherd back on July 2nd and your videos really helped me after. I also want people to know just how difficult it is making the "decision" to let them go. It is one of the most life shattering feelings beyond the loss itself I personally have ever had. Just know that you gave Tia the best life ever! I always appreciate your videos and all the work you put in. On Wednesdays video I though the silver ring was one of those hitching rings you see at boat docks for the ropes. I would have loved to see a black pull handle of sorts on the gate but no matter what it looked great. This week was great work by Ant (sorry for the spelling) and Jordon on all the fencing! You and your dad were great doing all the grab work! Seemed like you were all working like a finely oiled machine. Keep up the great work.

Wasn't able to watch yesterday as normal, I was laying a new floor in the kitchen. All caught up today though. Love the clips from Jordan and Ant, would love to see more of those. I think it's a strange rule to not be able to pick up without an automatic sheet, but what can you do? That gate was a awesome transformation, love the caps on it and love the updated look. Glad you guys are so busy, it shows a thriving and growing business. It looks to me like a bit more feathering with the trowel would be in order for that top layer of concrete, but it still looks good. Sorry to hear about Tia. I know how bad that hurts. All love from our family to yours.

Just finished watching Sundays video, so sorry to hear about Tia 😢 but you've made the right decision for her. It's a very hard decision to make when you have a pet that's got serious health problems so I really feel your pain as we had a staffy called max and had to have him put to sleep as he had cancer 😭😭 we stroked him and cuddled him while the vet did the injection. We then had him cremated at forget me nott which is in Trowell, max is now in a lovely box which has a model of a staffy which we had painted exactly how he looked. It's a lovely tribute to a great pet, I hope you all feel better soon but it will take time because you'll always see reminders everywhere. Nothing wrong with crying over your pet as well, it's good to see as it shows other men that it's OK to show your emotions 😪 excellent video as normal D&J projects. Fly high Tia ❤️❤️

Rest in peace Tia. My fiancee and I would love a dog but due to work life it wouldn't be fair. We have 3 cats but had to have one put down in June - he was called Tiger and was 20 when we had to make the same awful decision. But as you said, it's about the quality of life and that has to come first, even though it destroys us emotionally. We had him cremated and had some of his ashes put into a necklace which my Fiancee now wears to keep him close. He has a nice box on our mantle piece in the lounge, so he's still with us. Massive respect for you being so open and sharing such a sensitive and painful event with us.
