IT FINALLY HAPPENED! | The story of how I stole my friends dog | Svalbard 4k

[@bigfixuganda8701]

Celia and Grim, We weren’t sure what was happening today because we received an unprecedented 21 donations today totaling $380 USD! How absolutely heartwarming to find your video and the story of how Grim came to you, and of course how Grim’s former guardian requested donations to BIG FIX Uganda in honor of Grim. We are so grateful to you and all your generous subscribers. As the only veterinary hospital in an extremely impoverished area home to more than 7 million people, we will put every dollar to good use in honor of Grim. Everything that has been done at BIG FIX Uganda has been done as a result of the love so freely given by dogs like Grim - they motivate us all to be better humans and to spread love as they do. Please give Grim a big hug from all of us at The Comfort Dog Project and The BIG FIX Uganda. 🐶❤️🥳

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Hiii! 💕 Oh wow I am SO happy you have received so many donations so far! 😍 You all do amazing work and Olivia and I wanted to try to help out in any way that we could! I have also set up a monthly donation plan for Grim, to support you guys 😍 All the love and feel free to update me on the donations, so I can thank my little online community! ❤️ All the love from us on Svalbard!

[@bigfixuganda8701]

Absolutely! We will let you know a total on the donations. But for sure Grim is a popular guy! ❤️🐶

Grim is a genius. He not only got himself a family who who gives him his best life, but made you think it was your idea.🤣

[@0rtmasta]

I think as men we can all reflect on a life shared with a significant other. It takes a lot of getting used to, work arounds and such. I'm sure there are challenges but you guys work together, Kristopher with his Scandinavian stoicism, you with your extroversion and desire to share. It's a wonderful match. Keep up the teamwork and hardwork.

[@BA-ng9bx]

It really was a nice cake.

[@temper44]

I think it was actually Grim that adopted you. He already had an owner, but then he got to choose his human!

Christopher very methodically making Grims cake is just the best, love his presence 💓

[@JudyCZ]

When you started crying it made me cry as well and even more when you said what Olivia requested for Grim. That's such a sweet way of going about it, to not get money directly from you but you still making a contribution that's important to her.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

❤❤❤ I also thought it was an amazing thing to request! We love helping other animals 💙

[@celiajane4250]

I also cried when Cecilia cried !

[@3bkidsoftexas]

Christopher clearly put so much love into Grim’s cake! It was perfect!!! Congratulations on Grim’s adoption!!! And Happy Birthday to Grim!!💙

He did so so good 🤩

[@Angela-rf7pg]

My 18 year old cat (Outlaw) passed away 2 weeks ago and I've been trying to deal with it. This video made me smile, uncontrollably, and laugh. Thank you, Christopher, Grim and Fenris for that. ❤ from NC, US.

[@KimWalthers]

Does Christoffer realize how funny he is??!! Much contemplation, your man of few words!! :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRIM!!! You are the BEST and CUTEST dog!! XOXO

[@ElizabethTiemann]

When you opened the passport, I cried my eyes out. So so sweet. I love this. Also, can we just talk about the amazing work Kristoffer did on that cake?!

[@kazzicup]

The cake is amazing. Grim enjoyed it.

[@katwil89]

"Christoffer contemplating what his life has become." I don't even know him and I can see that is what he is thinking. My husband makes that same face when I involve him in one of my creative plans.

[@conniedonaldson164]

Happy Belated Birthday to Grim! Congratulations on the adoption Cecilia!

[@deniseolmstead6415]

lol :)

[@giddygrub7176]

I feel like I'm being unfaithful to Grim but I kind of love Fenris.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Hahah it's okey, he needs love to 💙💙

[@melissawilliamson8871]

Me too. Grim is so cute but I'd prefer Fenris because he's calm and laid back.

[@bionicmonkey25]

I love that the voice people use to talk to their dogs is universal across languages. Congrats on the adoption!

[@lindatait5326]

Christoffer looking for suitable Bread Car construction tools was simply hilarious 🤣 Grims little face when you opened the egg present was just like a little child, he was so good! I almost cried when you opened Grims passport, you have the best friends. Take care and be happy xxx

[@CC-si3cr]

This entire idea of Grim's birthday cake and party is so cute! The simplicity of it all is how parties should be. In the U.S. birthdays (or any type of event) are all so over-the-top. Just Google an image of a Kardashian kids birthday party. . .INSANE! I am sure a lot of ppl are not clear why you have to adopt a dog so formally in Svalbard. Especially when Grim was given to you by a friend. That's nothing I have ever heard of when it comes to a pet. Clearly it's meaningful and it's good to see it finally happened for you and Grim.❤ I also like that I got a chance to see the 'before' look of the cabin. Really makes you appreciate the remodel. It's so cozy!

[@elizabethcameron6045]

This HAS to be my top pick of your awesome videos! Grim's cake was whimsical and made with love.

[@jamesshearer9616]

Love your videos but gotta say: "Christoffer contemplating what his life has become" is exactly what I was thinking when that popped up. Lucky girl, you have a very patient man.

[@craigb4913]

Grim is one of the reasons I subscribed. That & Cecilia is such a sweetheart. Also appreciate Chistoffer's economy of motion & reticence. 😊

[@emiliaburgos5404]

This is so wholesome 🥺 also Fenris is so cute too, it must be a family thing 😂

So cute when Grim and Fenris sing the song of their people ;)

[@a.j.schoppe6873]

Grim is so smart. He was so interested in the opening of his presents because he knew they were for him!

[@je55icaLee]

😭😭 So happy for you guys! I love that Grim still gets to see Fenris (even if he acts annoyed when he is over lol). I was cracking up with all the candy you were eating while making the gifts. Also, your caption about Christoffer when he was making the cake. 🤣😂 Also, what great friends you have!

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Hahaha 💙💙

[@louisel.sinniger2057]

[@cpypcy]

This must be such peaceful living. No city rush noise, no pollution. Beautiful scenery.

[@Cheshiremd]

not sure about "no pollution". They probably produce more pollution per capita than people in other cities.

[@GR-ol1vp]

@@Cheshiremd why would they produce more pollution?

[@cpypcy]

@@GR-ol1vp coal mines? I thought they were abandoned?

[@GR-ol1vp]

@@cpypcy yes, they were. Svalbard has been a tourist destination instead.

[@Cheshiremd]

@@GR-ol1vp, people would produce more pollution per capita because almost everyone owns a car in that city, and not a small one. While pollution per capita in you regular city with public transportation system (let's say busses and subway) would be smaller because larger percentage of population is commuting or owning smaller/green cars. Having said that, I do have to say that total pollution footprint of average city with transit would be bigger than Svalbard's because of higher population and population density and because humans are not the only ones producing pollution in cities, there are also businesses and manufactures. But again, even with their relatevly small pollution footprint, if you take a city with similar population where people do not have to drive around in Helixes/snowmobiles and do not have to heat up their houses and water year round, then you will probably see even small pollution footprint.

[@JimGobetz]

Didn't know his full name was Grimbjorn, my two Norwegian Forest Cats (The only ones on Cayman) are Thorbjorn and Asbjorn. Congrats and as the husband of a Veterinarian thanks for posting and donating to The Big Fix Uganda, a great charity that needs the help.

[@glendathegoodwitch6987]

Can you do a viddeo about your English language acquisition, with insight from you about how you became so fluent? -- your vocabulary is amazing. We know Swedes start English as a second language early, but still . . . Also, how about a biography about where you grew up, what that was like, where you went to school, and details about yourself that people would find interesting. Where did Olivia get the dogs to begin with?

[@Kymberlee_W]

I know this was some time ago but I realised that I have missed a few videos over time and so I am going back to see them. I remember always being drawn to a dogs' eyes. Always the first thing I notice and when I fall in love with them. Saying that, I was struck by how different Fenris' and Grim's eyes are - Fenris always looks worried and Grim always seems to be smiling... at least in the videos that I have seen and the thumbnail photo shows that perfectly. Some dogs always look worried or fretful and some always seem to be smiling while others are very watchful, observant. Thank you for sharing your life with us 💕

[@pauladixon9003]

You all are so cute! I honestly thought Grim was still a puppy. Happy Belated Birthday Wishes, Grim! 🎉🎂🎈🎁 I have to add that the birthday cake was BRILLIANT! 🤗🐾❤️

That was lovely to watch, I'm sure I'm not the only Grim fan here so it's great to have a whole video about him. Seeing your joy at adopting him and his joy at seeing the sausage cake was quite moving. It was nice to see his calmer brother as well and the two of them riding calmly in your car but then howling when they got to town made me laugh.

Such a wonderful story (with the best happy ending) and beautifully captures into this video. It seems you and Grim were meant for each other as you are both incredibly active and love the outdoors. A match made in Svalbard 😃. Your friend was wise to see the connection and realize that Grim would have an even better life with you and your active lifestyle. The cake was brilliant! I think it is awesome that you have such great friends that would let you bathe your dog and do laundry in their homes- the small community life is what life is all about...Helping each other. Keep up the great content and say, hi to Grim and Christoffer 👋🏻👋🏻.
