Wow that Nathan must be at least 7 foot right? ;)

[@cheriemcdonald57]

I know this is a weird question but one time when Jeremy’s back was hurt he talked about how to sneeze without it hurting. Can you please tell me what that is?

[@aileenclarke9651]

If that box was suggested for me, I’d love to try first Factor. It won’t be possible unfortunately because I live in Australia. If it wasn’t meant for me, that’s ok too. Best Wishes 🇦🇺🦘Aileen

You struck gold puppers , you will be loved like crazy. Kenji sent you this gift to take care of you. Rip Kenji .

[@sth.777]

I think Kenji would want you to pass on your love to a new generation. He'd be happy for Ludo to have found such a loving, fun home.

[@sueyeats6711]

To mark his home coming make a picture with everyone's hand print and a puppy print in the middle. That would be something special.

[@deborahwood1531]

“LUCKY” because this PUP won the Lottery😉

[@repaid1]

I hope you don't mind but I just wanted to say hello. You have the same name as my wife that passed from cancer some 6 years ago...and I do agree that is one "Lucky" dog. I know you don't know me from Adam, but after watching this touching episode and seeing your comment and her name...I just felt she was saying hi to me. 🥲

[@marilynyoung-p1s]

The smiles on all your faces just tear me up. What a lucky, lucky little puppy. All dogs should be this loved.

[@HoraceAymett]

Becky here. There is always room in the heart for love. And loving another furbaby is in it`s own way honoring the love you have for Kenji.

[@Lula_F]

I’m saddened that you didn’t adopt a shelter dog as so many are homeless. However, I can understand wanting to have a guarantee of a gentle family dog/pet. No previous abuse or neglect that can affect a dog’s personality. Can never be too careful with children. Luso is beautiful and looks like a great fit for you Souzas! I look forward to seeing the new family member grow and thrive along with the children. Thankful to Kengi for sending Ludo 🙏🏻😘❤️❤️❤️

[@woodgrain8989]

This breed is beautiful, loves to play, super calm with people, they love play, but be prepared for 1 or 2 years of destruction, they love to destroy, slippers, remote controls, glasses and anything you leave lying around the house, they also love Playing in water and mud so be prepared for that because as they have long fur you can imagine how things will turn out.

[@LanaK5240]

What a sweet boy!! I'm so glad y'all are smiling and laughing again after losing Kenji. He was definitely one special family member!!❤️. Ludo is a different kind of special family member. He's such a cutie!!❤️. Love you all!! God bless always, Lana K. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.

[@GoodSimpleLiving]

Thank you so much!!

[@tara.odonnell]

And in heaven, Kengi is smiling soooooooooooo big right now. Love Love LOVE!!!!! I'm not crying. Nope.

[@lifesbeautifulcreations]

My Mom always told me that each baby brings its own love. I believe that's true for both humans and animals. God created our love to grow and that is what babies, pets and friends do. God's timing is perfect. ❤

[@RhondaPardee-z8k]

A puppy always brings back smiles. They can brighten up your darkest days. Kengi has proudly passed the bone to Ludo.

[@stephaniegamble3571]

Oh my gosh this made me cry, Im SO HAPPY for you guys! Kenji would be SO pleased to hand his family over to this little guy! So happy for you guys!

[@GlendaHayward]

You have chosen well. Once you have a Goldie you will always have a Goldie, they are the darling of dog breeds. Enjoy, they are high energy for the first two years, then they calm down.

[@kimberlyrobinson2122]

I cried through this weeks video. We just lost Chewy, our golden retriever when you were going thru your loss with Kenji. I hope your new puppy brings many new memories and blessings to your family.

[@SJC49]

Now you need to give a new baby a loving home! Have you considered rescue? Sorry if this remark seems inappropriate. 😍🇨🇦

[@kathleenoverton3263]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@SJC49- rescue isn’t for everyone. When you rescue you quite often don’t know all the breeds in that one dog and this family has other animals they need to be concerned about. As well as a couple of small children. I m sure they did their due diligence in thinking about where their next dog was coming from and what breed best suits their needs. Everyone has heard of rescue organizations. But rescues aren’t always the answer. I m 68 yrs old. In my whole life I ve had 8 dogs. 6 rescues. The other two came through people we knew whose dogs had litters. I’ve had 7 cats. All rescues - 3 from the wild. Feral cats I took on. One had 5 kittens soon after. I have one of my feral cats still. She’s 11. And you’d better not touch her unless she comes up to you first because she will scratch you or bite at you. One feral cat I ended up having to take to Humane Society. She would attack randomly. Leaving scratches behind. One of my dogs same thing. Except she would randomly attack the other dog (not people) in my house. I took that dog to every kind of training, socialization, walked her 3-4 miles per day most days of the week etc to no avail. I had to keep her separated from my other dog. After trying for 2 years I had to make a choice. It wasn’t the life I wanted. My other dog didn’t deserve it. I just have one dog now. A 7 yr old dog my son rescued as a 6 week old pit mix that, according to the vet, says she would ve died within 24 hours if he hadn’t taken her from the people who had her and were abusing her. He offered them $20 and they took it. Just recently lost my boy I got from a NC dog rescue center. My dog here misses him and I m starting to think of another. At my age though I think I want a dog where I can be pretty confident of its traits, characteristics etc. So I am thinking of a breeder. And by the way, I adopted 2 gerbils from a rescue and a cockatiel over the years. Captured and took a total of about 6 ferals so far to organizations that help with that kind of situation. Presently helping my 87 year old mother with a litter of kittens that came from a feral very young cat she started feeding and then she had kittens on my mother’s porch. Again, rescues aren’t for everyone. I ve had my share but think this next dog I ll be getting may not be. When I decide on a breed I ll probably look into that specific breed rescue and see. Otherwise it ll be a responsible breeder.

[@Tashio240]

How bittersweet, but ultimately special that Ludo (best name!!) was born on the same day that Kenji left. Our nephew was born the day our son died. He had so many of our son's unique little characteristics that we swear our boy left a little of himself with someone he knew we'd love. It feels like Kenji has done the same kind of thing. And he's the most adorable fluffy ever.

[@deborahadams3845]

To favorite family don't forget stay of health ❤ care 😊

[@karenholt8441]

Ludo is THE most laid back dog I’ve ever seen! Even in the tub! What a blessing💕

[@joycejones2979]

CONGRATULATIONS on Ludo! He’s no replacement for Kenji but he’ll certainly fill the void of no fur baby at all! I pray he brings you all years of love and happiness just as Kenji did!💕

[@craiggunter9630]

Having been blessed with 5 Goldens, we are so excited for you and the family…we KNOW Ludo will be a blessing!

[@jackrolfson312]

You couldn't have picked a better breed of dog, You're going to have years of fun. And pleasure with him. Thank you for sharing him with us!

Puppies are babies, play crash eat sleep repeat. Pee and poo upon waking or when sniffing around. Pee pad by door if wakes at night. Have fun! Soooo cute!

[@mackwkm]

Ludo is adorable. Its been a few weeks but our "chug" Kallie has crossed the Rainbow bridge. We adopted Kallie from a local county shelter. She was around three when we got her and she was part of the family for 10yrs. Its been twice now we made vet visits and ended up coming home with one less family member. She was momma's girl and had so many nicknames like "Budda Belly", Kal-Kal, Sweet Pea, etc. We are in the "thinking" process on what to do next. We may adopt again or we may foster for a bit until we feel its time to adopt again.

Ohh Kenji is up there just sending love to all of you and sweet little Ludo for making everyone happy. As for me, Ludo made me laugh out loud when he was trying to play with the cat lol and the chickens lolol and when he decided he needed to rest in the sink during bath time ❤😂❤😂

Ludo is adorable , and just what you all needed ... I waited too long to adopt another and realize how much joy was missed ,, but since adding another ,, now 2 years past ,, couldn't be happier .. Ludo will have his best life with all your family and room to run and play .... Such a wonderful video ..

[@ebroydell]

They are the best, they sort of mature around 3. Until then, expect anything, but they are such a great family dog. GREAT choice.

[@longwildernesswalks]

We lost our girl on April 13th. She was a 15 year old American Golden, and my God she is missed. We knew a breeder that had English Goldens (White) and we reached out. Long story short, we received our new baby, Rachel, on Saturday. Finally that hole my family had is filled again. I'm so happy for you guys. We've had goldens for 20 years and I'll never go elsewhere. The breed is intelligent but goofy, gentle, and super affectionate. Again, so happy for you guys. Enjoy the life out of that little guy! God bless.

[@JanGoertz]

I enjoyed his reaction to the chickens. He was herding them right from the start. Hopefully he will do that with the sheep. Ludo is a beautiful and awesome pup.

Welcome Ludo! Mable will be ok with him, she just needs to meet him on her own terms. PS, I laughed when I saw how lush and green the grass is around your fruit trees. As soon as Jeremy burnt it I thought "hmmm, that's going to backfire". Vegetation loves carbon! My suggestion is just add that area to the mowing schedule. It'll look nice, and the daisies within it will attract bees to the trees.

I'm so glad you didn't let the loss and pain of the loss of Kenji prevent you from getting another dog. That spot in your heart that's dog shaped needs to be filled. I believe it's just me that dogs need other dogs around. Dogs are pack animals and as humans we fill that spot as well as we can. But seeing a pack of well trained dogs doing dog stuff. Is so heart warming. We have 3. A 5 pound Yorkie, a 25 pound Australian Shepard mix and a 90 pound adopted mix breed hound dog from a local shelter. They all love each other and get along extremely well. If you have the time. The money and the ability to love more dogs, get them. They bring such joy.

She was older when we got her but still had her 4 yrs. I have a 15 yr old toy poodle who we've had since she was 4 months old. I think these wiĺ def be our last. One is 15,one 2 one 4,and then a 6 yr old. We are now In our early 60s so yeah. When my poodle (Layla) passes I'm not sure I'll be able to handle it. But I've loved them all. They mean everything to me. Goodluck with your fur baby.
