Is this Sleepy C? Thank you either way 😊

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

I’m sorry to hear you’ve been through a tough time, our four legged friends mean so much to us. Zena is a lovely girl and it’s clear to see she is good natured. 😊

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

She's the best dog in the world, but then I am biased lol!

[@whoarewe7515]

She's as strong as her owner.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

In that case I need to be stronger! 😊

Thanks Debbie, she's getting there, gonna get her out camping tomorrow, first time in months 😁

[@debraflint6890]

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

She still has a good quality of life that's the main thing, wish she wasn't in pain tho 😢

[@angelaknisely-marpole7679]

Glad to hear she's on the mend now.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Thanks Angela it was a close call!

[@diannedogwalker8935]

Cat and Xena sending massive hugs, doggie treats, a bottle of beer and you are in my meditation. My doggie Darcy is 12 years and sounds like there are many of us with older dogs so how about shorter walks/ car or not camps and cooking videos. Take care and please keep us informed how Xena is. ❤️

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Thanks dianne, she's doing better but need to get another blood test (300 quid) and then decide on treatment. Got a couple of videos almost ready to upload so expect more from us soon! 😁

[@philjones3335]

It's going to come to all of us who own dogs, I know, but I honestly can't imagine going wild camping without my border collie...never been on my own and don't want to. I feel for you and I know your pain, literally brought tears to my eyes watching this, she's such a gorgeous girl. Be strong and enjoy your time e together, however long it might be. Sending much love.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Thanks Phil it's hard thinking of camps without her, plus trying to find a regular dog sitter and fitting things in around xena is making it hard to plan any camps at the moment or even a decent hike. I'm just grateful she is still here though and will make the most of the time we have left together, thank you for your support 😊

[@thecampingastronomer8554]

Bless her, she is such a lovely companion. I am very glad she is feeling better and looks transformed now. When we lost our dog a few years ago it was a very difficult time so I know the emotions you must have been going through.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

It was horrible I never want to go through that again but I know the day must come at some point. Thank you for your support 😊

[@grahamgreen7800]

[@craoutdoors6827]

So sorry that xena has been poorly, glad she has seen improvement. Don't worry about channel at all take a break . When you do upload yeah go on some short hikes with some cooking involvered or some reviews but just take the time you need most importantly.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Thanks mate I appreciate that, sound advice 😊👍

[@fletchdad8755]

Even though she can't get around like she used to she is still so happy to be with you ! Best wishes to both of you !

[@DaveandBuddyOutdoors]

Watching this with my four legged friend brought a tear to my eye. Wishing Xena and you all the best Take care Dave (and Buddy the doggo)

Cheers dave wishing you and Buddy many happy adventures, enjoy them whilst you can! 😊

[@rialobran]

Pleased she is making a recovery. I'm sure you'll make whatever time is left as happy as is possible. This must have been a difficult week and an even more difficult film to make.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

[@tinytrekkervlogs]

@@Wild.cat.adventures No worries, completely understand. Hxx

[@pauledwards499]

Glad she's on the mend, it's so sad when our pets aren't well. Anyone who has owned a dog or any other pet knows exactly how much a part of the family they are. Your camps will be missed but Zena is far more important. I lost my pet dog of nearly 14 years early in the first lockdown, very suddenly and he suffered a lot because I couldn't call a vet, that still haunts me, even though I have another dog now I still have moments when i can't stop thinking about that night so you enjoy every second that you and Zena have together, give her extra hugs and make every moment count.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Gosh that sounds awful Paul! I'm sure he knew you were by his side till the last bless him. I dread the day, but do happy that day is not now. I will treasure every moment I can 😊

[@GazianoOutdoors]

Must have been a scary experience, especially with them bringing up the possibility of being put down , so glad things have improved and she's OK, take care, all the best 👍

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Thanks mate, it was horrible, still not out the woods, not sure she will get much better now but at least we have more time together 😊

[@tentipiwildcamping]

Having camped with you and xena a couple of times and seen your bond, that was heartbreaking, had me crying like a baby. Hope I get a chance to see her again soon. Love & Light Daz

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Awww thanks Darren, I edited out some of the most emotional bits, it's heart breaking to see her fade 😞

[@stephengraham8629]

Aww Cat, so sorry to see Xena so poorly, hopefully you will still get some more time together, tears were tripping me watching the vid, I lost Judy dog 11 months ago and I'm still grieving. Sending you and Xena lots of love, give her a big hug from me. Take care and make every moment count. XXX

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Aww thanks Stephen, so sorry for your loss, to know the love of a dog is to know true unconditional love. Wishing you well

So glad you get to spend more time with her , I know exactly what your going through and whats to come , they are not with us for long but we never forget them x

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

[@Morphaplasm]

Hi cat, so pleased Xena has improved. So hard when your beloved pet, that's a part of the family, gets unwell. As for ideas for vids, I love to cook fresh food when I can on my Trangia 27. love to have some recipe ideas! love your vids mate🙂

[@carolinewick9496]

Hiya so sorry to hear about Xena. My dog is 12 years and can't go on long hikes anymore. Ideas for new videos could be gear reviews, and also how you're adjusting your lifestyle to fit Xenas capacity now, tips on hiking and camping with dogs using previous footage. Hope that gives some ideas. Xxx

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

Thanks Caroline appreciate the ideas and the support 😊

[@andycoombes161]

Bless her. It's aweful when put dogs or pets are not well. My little girl has ruptured her Crutiate Ligament and had surgery on Monday. I've slept by her side (she's crated) ever since. She's got a long recovery ahead and her leg is plated. Need to keep her still. I hope your gorgeous dog is as comfortable as possible and here's to a recovery

So sorry to see this with xena ,nearly lost my pippa last year , but she's reacted well to medication. Only just happened across your channel recently, your nice to watch with a love for the outdoors, so hopefully you can carry on with the channel. Do you have a car you can use for car camping/micro camper camping with xena , get you out and about with each other , without to much walking.

[@Wild.cat.adventures]

That's not a bad shout that! My car isn't ideal for car camping but it's doable for a couple of nights. Got a few coastal car camp spots pinned already, you've just given me the excuse to try them! 😁

I’m sorry zena ihas been unwell she is a real love, hope she stays by ur side for a long time yet, ❤ Keith & Cora
