🤗Let’s all send a collective embrace to Jamie! I’m assuming we are all huge dog lovers here, across the globe, who have been through this situation before and it’s not fun. We all remember how we felt, especially if we were lucky enough to have an older dog. Hugs! We love you Sherpa and Jamie!❤️

[@brigitnunez6735]

Indeed ❤

[@LtRee96se]

I agree

[@jackieroberts6316]

I am 3000 miles away crying for Jamie.

[@Corylus46]

I'm a huge animal lover in general. I've never actually owned a dog, but I've had many dog friends and many other animal pets, all of whom I've loved as much as Jamie loves Sherpa. I love Sherpa too. Pets are not just pets, they're family members, whatever the species. It's devastating when they get ill or are suffering in any way. They are, essentially, our adopted children!

[@loissansevere3686]

Blessings ❤❤ positive energy and strength for Jamie and Sherpa

[@jackieroberts6316]

I will never tell someone when to let their pet go on. He will tell you when you look in his eyes. I send you hugs from far away. Sherpa will be fine. Dogs don't fear what comes next. It is you I worry about.

[@karenburrows9184]

A visit to the vet is very helpful in determining the remaining quality of life for a beloved pet; which usually helps the brokenhearted owner make the final decision. It's the hardest one to make, pets don't always tell us when it's time, it depends on the illness. I've said goodbye many, too many times. It's the price we pay for bringing them into our lives, and ultimately a small price for the joy they give. Here's hoping for a fast check up appointment for Sherpa and some sleep and peace for Jamie.

​​@@SherpasDay Jaime I recently had to go thru the same thing, I wish I had seen the signs sooner. My boy was 12 and as soon as his back legs started going out it was only a matter of a couple months that everything started going to heck in a hand basket. I lost my boy at the end of Nov 2023 and like a few days later we all lost Phil from Life with malamutes. So I got a double whammy. Now i see the same thing going on with sherpie. My heart is broken ...again. I will say a huge prayer for sherpie that when it's time that he won't go until he is pain free and back to his normal self. I feel like he's my dog too cause I been watching your videos for at least 7yrs. Hang in there and think positive thoughts. Karen from Florida. 😢💔

It is truly heart wrenching to see an animal show that kind of pain in their eyes. My cat began doing the same things and was unable to walk. We made that excruciating decision as his suffering was more than we could bear. It is so hard. Praying for Jamie and Sherpa.

[@jackie8292]

Had one for 16yrs used all holistic therapies and meds! Too many side effects from vet meds!

Its possibly hip dysplasia you can see the drop in his left leg! There are soft material braces to help keep the joints in place when moving! Hydrotherapy is great but it could be causing the joints to grate against eachother!

[@josi4251]

My late partner and I rescued two of them. They are the most wonderful, loving creatures. Saying goodbye to them is the hardest thing ever, but we must do right by them. They've always loved and trusted us, so it is the last loving kindness we can do for them as they leave this life to cross the Rainbow Bridge. We'll see them when it's our turn.

[@cherylo9207]

The whinnying in the middle of the night was our last sign we needed to make that decision. We love our dogs more than humans sometimes, but its not fair to make them suffer either. I wish you all the healing vibes when that time comes for you Jamie🫂

[@penultimateh766]

I really think we should leave such things up to Jamie. We don't know what our pets would choose for themselves if they understood the alternatives, and we're not God.

[@Max2U]

Same with my dog. It is gut wrenching. I had to mute it because it took me back to my dog.

[@willthorson4543]

​@@penultimateh766that's ridiculous. There is a huge difference between a human and a dog. Dogs getting older having medical issues tend to go down real quick. And there isn't anything a vet can do. They'll shut down on their own. Being an owner of a dog and ending their suffering isn't playing God. It's far better than them dying in pain for no reason and no one is telling him to do anything to Sherpa. It's just people's past experiences they are sharing.

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Being quite old, I've had several very old dogs, and when I heard Sherpa doing that it sounded more like loneliness and a need to be comforted by Jamie's presence that crying in pain. But all dogs are different and have different voices, and only Jamie knows the meanings of Sherpa's vocalisations.

[@audreybrooke7985]

Maybe Jamie needs to put dear Sherpa on the bed with him at night and give him cuddles…….x ❤️🇬🇧

[@Outlier68]

With an older dog, there comes a time when you need to ask yourself: Whose needs are being served by what I’m doing? The old boy won’t benefit from long car trips, hydrotherapy and other stressors. Naps in the sun, loving pats, basic walks and great food will keep him happy and comfortable. He’s retired now. Just love him ❤️

[@Bandwidth31Hz]

We hope that Sherpa will go like our Husky, Taff, did 15 months ago. He passed away at home, in his sanctuary in the middle of the night. He was 11 years, 6 months of age and we gave him a very good life. Just days before I'd taken him to the local beach boardwalk, he showed no signs of illness. His sudden passing was a very big shock, but we took solice in that he went on his terms and without suffering. Our thoughts are with you Jamie. Love him while he's still with you now, and later when he's in a better place. Bruce and Michelle, Canada.

[@patrickh8602]

I heard someone describe Dog ownership as ten years of fun, laughter and unconditional love followed by two years of vets bills and a tragedy you never really recover from. Wishing Sherpa better health and wishing Jamie the strength to support Sherpa in these difficult times.

Poor Serpa! My malamute became slow, blind and deaf, you could see that he had trouble standing up, but he still walked normally. Then all of a sudden BAM - stroke...collapse, there was no more help, he was like chewing gum in the sun and we allowed him to leave with dignity. It was difficult, but I am comforted by the fact that he had a beautiful and full life. He was 14 and a half years old when he said goodbye.

[@GaleMichalski-hm3eu]

Earlier this year my 14 year old Schnauzer in a period of over night started crying and whimpering and had problems walking. I took him to the vet. She did an x-ray. It turned out that somehow he got a pinched nerve in his upper spine. She gave us an anti swelling med and pain med. It took a few weeks of babying him, carrying him in and out of places, massaging his back, and really limiting his walking, and he recovered. I hope you have good luck at the vet with Sherpa. He had been doing so well after his teeth pulling. Maybe he just overdid it.

[@KimStogner1]

Jamie, you have done more than anyone possibly could for Sherpa. Unfortunately, when they reach a certain age, things break down. I am sorry because I know the pain you’re enduring. We had to put our 7 year old Shepherd Mix down recently because of bone cancer. He was in so many pain meds, we couldn’t let him go on. We have also lost several of our fur babies to old age.

I kept telling myself he'd get better and bounce back like he always had before. But he didn't. He was a cat and so weak he couldn't drag himself to the litter box. He couldn't groom. I was tube-feeding him. One day he looked at me with sad eyes and I knew he wondered why I was making him endure so much. So we made the trip. I'll never forget it. It's been a few decades now, but I've never made that mistake again. You can't let your love for your animals force them to suffer just so you can have one more day. No idea if Sherpa is in that state. Only Jamie can decide that. But from my lend he has that look in his eyes. He's ready. I'm glad he got to see Key one more time.I dont' envy

I feel for you Jamie and for Sherpa too. I’ve lost many hours of sleep and eventually slept on the couch so my animals who were very old could lie beside me with my hand on them as that was the only way we got sleep. We know how much you love him Jamie and I wish you the very best for you both to have sweet dreams. I would definitely see his vet. May you both please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩

I have no words for what I just saw. Please get better my Sherpy, my eyes are wet watching you today. Jamie stay strong❤

[@patriciaknox7965]

Jamie, you always take such great care of Sherpa and my prayers are with you

[@carolynandcocohaywood2638]

Hi Jamie, I hope this helps a little towards any new treatments that will help your beloved Sherpa. I hope the specialist can help. ❤❤

[@user-bo3mq2jj5l]

This is so heartbreaking. We all love Sherpa so much. It will be 4 years, Aug 20th since my beautiful Molly dog died. She was just 5 days away from her 8th Birthday. She suffered from kidney disease. I think of her everyday still. My thoughts and prayers are with you and Sherpa. Just know that all of us, all of Sherpas fans, are with you and support you and Sherps. You are doing such a wonderful job taking care of him, just hang in there.

[@LRBerry]

He is getting the best you can give him. I hope the vet can help tomorrow.

[@rominachamberlain9158]

Ohh Jamie!! I lost my 16 and a half years old boy a months ago and I'm still healing from that.... He had dementia and the last minute had a stroke and couldn't stand anymore, that was the time that I couldn't see him wondering any longer 😢😢....... You are doing a beyond amazing work with Sherp! And he knows that ......he feels your love every day.....❤ Remember that dogs live in the moment, I wish we could do the same...... Sending big hugs for the two of you from Cleveland USA 🌻❤️🌼🐾

[@talapeanutbutter4250]

I noticed the other day when he walked and you showed that same clip in this video. He was clearly walking stiff legged. Our girl, Tala did too. The doctors thought it was a slipped disc or spinal problem due to age. It began to affect her bladder, too. We bought her washable potty pads on Amazon and put them all over. They’re nice because we could pop them in the washer and hang out or use the dryer. If it wasn’t much, we’d hose it off outside and air/sun dry. She did lose most of her hearing and appeared to have dementia. We were taking her in two days to the vets and see if they thought she was suffering, we’d put her down. We didn’t have to. On Sunday morning, she started having seizures and died while we pet her. That was 2 1/2 years ago. It still brings tears to our eyes thinking of her. God Bless🦋

Thoughts are with you and Sherpa in this tough time, Jamie ❤

Thanks John 🙏

Aww bless you sheep's I love watching your videos , I lost my miniature jack Russel three months ago and it broke my heart, so I know what jamie is going through,God bless you both, and jamie I feel your pain .I Will pray for both of you

[@sorrel_leaf_vespers]

This advice is probably unsolicited and I don't know the full extent of what's going on, but when our senior dog started having pain in his back legs, we started giving him CBD oil to ease the pain. It worked like a charm on him. He was a small dog, though, so I don't know how well it would work on Sherpa or if it's even an option for him. I hope we can find out what's going on soon. Thoughts, prayers, and well-wishes to both Jamie and Sherpa!

[@kayawe4166]

I know this may not help a ton with all the vet bills, but I hope it’s a reminder that you’re not alone in all of this.

This is the part of having a dog, cat or any pet we love, that is so difficult. ❤❤❤

[@sharontodd1171]

We are so blessed when we have a dog in our life that is truly family. We all have been fortunate to share in yours and Shepa's life. You are taking such good care of Sherpa but who is taking care of you? Jamie you know him better than any of us. When you've done all that you can do let him know that's it's ok to go. He loves you and has been your protector too. He might be ready but he knows you're not. We never are. You both have been blessed beyond measure. All our hearts are breaking. We wish we could take some of your pain. Oh the wonderful adventures and memories you have. You have given him everything he has ever needed. He has been loved and he has felt it every day he has had with you.❤️🐾

[@clairehoskin7632]

Can’t express enough how much Sherpa means to us,there’s not enough words. R.I.P Sherpa,just try and remember all the fun happy moments and memories that you’ve had together and all the good times you’ve shared together.

[@annedavis-mann1362]

Oh Jamie I'm so sorry. I think your right about the pain killers. Sending you prayers and hugs.

[@whoami6601]

For the vet bills. Hang in there Sherpa (and Jamie)! ❤ 🍪🍪

[@Iamminnan]

Sherpa has given us all so much joy through many years. Thank you Jamie for sharing him with us. ❤ Lots of love.

[@sophieandwayne]

We lost our 14yr old Labrador 4 weeks ago and it’s heartbreaking 💔 sadly Sherpa is acting like our dog in the end. We kept him going for a further 10days after a tumour was discovered but used painkillers to keep him comfortable and one day he just looked at my husband and we knew what he was saying. We had ‘coming home’ out so he could be put to sleep at home, the vet was amazing he gave him a sedative with a painkiller before putting him to sleep. He the had him on a stretcher, my husband and the vet, Jeremy, carried him to his car where he was placed at the chapel of rest overnight (as theirs was 19:10) and had his individual cremation in the morning. All so dignified. Sherpa will tell you…

[@fionaforbes6100]

It is the hardest part of having a companion. He is very old for a malamute/husky. He has had a life we would all love. I hope you do not have to make a decision but also that you know when to make it. My heart breaks for you. He is an international star💔💔💔

[@audreybrooke7985]

Yes dear Sherpa is old, I am thinking back to January when we lost Philly Bear…..his back legs went suddenly……so sad x ❤️🇬🇧

[@MyLisaJames]

Please don’t let him suffer. He’s hurting so bad. I love you Jamie and I know things are hard now. I’m with you and everyone else is with you also. You have the world holding your hand. We love you.

[@deekorbel5259]

It can be one of the hardest decisions to make. I've been fortunate to find a good vet that can come to my house for end of life care. What has made the decision a bit easier is using the quality of life scale. We are here for you Jamie.

[@delboy198]

@@deekorbel5259 Jamie Your the only person that can make this decision, we'll all pick you up when it happens cause its absolutely horrible thing losing a family member. x

He needs x rays to see what is going on than Jamie can make a decision about his soul dog Sherpa

[@kathyr1516]

I wonder if a monthly Solensia injection might relieve Sherpa’s pain. Sending love and praying from Melbourne Australia. 🙏🏼❤️🐾

[@maryhennen5425]

As always, wishing the best for you and Sherpa. Please know that all of us would understand if you need to take some private time to deal with Sherpa's health. Run an old video, or skip it all together if it's financially feasible. Let us know what you need and we'll try to support & help you. Prayers and love for Sherpa.

[@annal.t.p7804]

We must all remember Dear Sherp' has recently been through a heck of trauma with that massive operation, just look at the effect it had on poor Jamie & he wasn't the one pumped full of medication! It could easily be a Water Infection, they cause disorientation, confusion etc. Let's see what the Vet says, in the meantime Jamie we send you both Love, strength, hugs and Love ❤ ❤ ❤

[@rosebud20]

Sherpa Is a darling dog! ❤ Jamie, You have given Sherpa the most wonderful life full of Love tender care, exciting adventures, Books, Wee Soft Toys Of You, Cartoon Character a YT Hero! Wow You Done More In Life Than ME lol! Jamie, Sherp Is Not Afraid Of What Is Coming Next...Its YOU That Im Concerned About!❤ Biscuit Lady, Sister Sarha Batdog, Key & So Many More People ❤ You! Take Care Jamie 🙏🙏 & 😘😘 For Sherpa!!

[@donnaspanton1331]

I love Sherpa so much. Hope the vet can do something. My old girls legs went like it but I found physio and acupuncture to be a big help. We all know you will do your very best for him. Sending love❤❤

[@vaw796]

Poor Sherpie boy, he was doing so well and now this. Growing older is not fun and seeing our beloved animals have illnesses and pain breaks our hearts. He's such a lovely boy and kind natured. I hope seeing a specialist soon will give some answers. Big hugs to that adorable boy and hospital visits are not fun (can empathise with that lately).❤❤

[@ian-si9xw]

watching them get older and slower and starting to have accidents in the house is always hard , they are a part of of lives for such a short time but we remember them for ever.

[@jenniferwillcox]

No truer words … you are right , we do remember them forever ❤️‍🩹❤️

[@TheRobin0714]

Oh, no! 😢 I was so encouraged after his surgery. Hopefully, he gets that spark back.

[@LilyRoseandMommyRobin05]

My family and I are praying that the specialist can help Lord Sherpa 🙏 I hate the age of 13 for I lost my Sammy to kidney cancer and my nephew just lost his chocolate lab to Lymphoma Cancer. Prayers that it's something the specialist can help with and Lord Sherpa has many more year's to come . We are surrounded both you Jamie and Sherpa with prayers and love

I know its difficult but its heart breaking seeing that dog in so much pain. You need to prepare yourself that Sherpa is near the end. I wish you both the best.

[@diannemartino3464]

I hope the vet can offer him some relief. I feel for both of you. The hardest part of being a pet parent is letting them go. I always say I won’t go through it again. But then another baby comes into my life and I do.

[@TheBaumcm]

Thought we might be sending our 18 yr old pupper across the rainbow bridge and hubby and I were contemplating that very dilemma when a 1 yr old popped into our lives. Now looks like our 18 yr old has a bit more pep left in him. There are never guarantees but all we can do is give them love and good quality of life.

[@KikiMcGaha]

I keep thinking about Sherpa … Jamie I’m sure the vet can find a med that will relieve the pain. Metacam helped my sweet Toby …but he’s not about me but of you and your Sherpa. I read a lot of depressing comments.., let’s pray and hope for the best… And please try to get some rest.🤗🙏🙏

[@TheBaumcm]

Please understand that some of these depressing comments come from a place of experience. Most animals will hide the true level of their pain from their owners. When our little guy sprained his back, the only time he even made a peep was in the middle of the night when he tried to move himself about. The vet said he was very stoic as many are. Point is, if he is showing this degree of discomfort, there might be something he can no longer “hide”.
