So a few quick statements about Kelty and our stay at Migrino Beach. 1. Kelty had an owner (Hensley even talked about him in the video). It was a farmer in the village a few hundred yards behind our boondocking spot. He also owned a camel. 2. We called 2nd Hand Ranch the the day after we met Kelty. We were told they could not take her because her life was not in danger (that changed once she chased us). 3. Kelty needed medical help before she could make a 20+ hour trek under our dinette with our family of 4 in the Viva. We contacted 2nd Hand Ranch the day after we dropped her off. We knew she was sick and had a hurt paw, but the full diagnosis after being treated by 2nd hand ranch was Ehrichiosis, Kidney Infection, and a Vanarial Tumor. 4. Our videos are typically 20'ish minutes. This particular video spanned 14 days. We cannot (and honestly will rarely) ever be able to share every detail of every situation. We cut out the day we volunteered at the local Mexico dog shelter to clean out the pens & play with puppies. We cut details about how between Marissa & I we adopted dozens of animals between our families as kids including cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, pigs, iguanas, raccoons, ferrets, and pretty much any animal you could imagine being taken in. We didn't show the hours and hours we spent with Kelty rubbing on her, feeding her, and loving on her. We loved Kelty. And we adore animals. Please redirect energy toward helping animals rather than hurting Marissa with comments about her not being a caring person. She has been crying and is shattered because she knows how much she loved Kelty. - Nathan

[@bethdawson889]

You all did the right thing. I don't think dogs can be easily taken across the border. Thank you for your videos! The views were beautiful to see!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

@@bethdawson889 We genuinely wanted to and had discussions about it. We didn't mention it on the video, but Kelty also had medical issues. We knew she had a hurt paw and was sick, but after contacting 2nd Hand Ranch the next day we also learned she had Ehrichiosis, Kidney Infection, and a Vanarial Tumor.

[@badgerpa9]

You made the hard and correct decision to get her healthcare. It is harder but the right thing to do. If she has CTVT she is way better to be at a place to get healthcare and play with other dogs as she recovers. Too many people would have done the easy choice and take her with, then later find out she needs healthcare. Marissa is a very smart Nurse and I am grateful you made the choice for Kelty and showed this, to many people do not think of the animal first. From a family that took care of many abused dogs to show them love and get them in a safe home I thank you for doing the right thing for Kelty.

[@scatpack01]

You did the right thing.

[@rozsmith6850]

The fact that a rescue place was called, and your volunteerism shows how caring y’all are. God bless you. A similar situation happened with friends of ours and a stray who “adopted “ their family. There was simply no room in their truck to accommodate a dog as they travelled. 😭

[@susansalvucci4281]

The sight of Kelty chasing after you just about broke my heart. What a sweet dog!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

She was so sweet. We would have loved her, but she needed care and taking a wild animal in 24ft would have been challenging for her. After she gets some care, she will make a great friend for someone.

[@garretlewis4103]

@@LessJunkMoreJourney She will. You do have to realize the environment that a dog will do the best in.

[@dawniesaurusrex7293]

I know your situation was not ideal for a wild dog but I was bawling my eyes out and yelling, "Don't leave her" at the tv. I'm so glad you all got her to the rescue and pray she lives a happy life ❤

[@scrappersdream]

She is definitely at Second Chance Ranch. If you check in their pictures she’s in a pool with another blonde dog. You can tell it’s her by the spot on her head. Thanks Lindsey for making that phone call. ❤

Looking at the comments it is clear that many of us have a soft spot in our hearts for dogs. 🐶 That "soft spot" can make it more difficult when we make the choices we know we need to make. I totally get why you could not keep Kelty. It is a good thing you guys sought to make things better for her. 👍

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you, she was awesome but there were so many reasons we could not keep her and we posted a comment with updates if you are interested.

[@sherriweber7105]

That’s sad that one of your friends had to leave on a family emergency. I hope they made home alright! I started crying with the kids about the dog you found. The dog sure did like you by following you. Glad you took it to a shelter and getting it some care. Poor dog.

[@loris4006]

Oh man glad you guys were able to call someone about Kelty. The driving away scene was heartbreaking. KZbinrs Eamon & Bec just helped open a dog rescue in Cerritos Beach. The Cerritos beach dogs and coffee shop. (I’m case you find any more strays lol)

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Oh wow! We didn't know that! That's incredible!

[@noroga25]

[@darleneinch3392]

Thank you for taking care of Kelty’s needs. You are such a caring family! Not going to lie. I cried along with you when you said your goodbyes. God bless you always. Love your videos. 💛

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much!

[@badgerpa9]

No one can find fault in you finding Kelty a place to get medical care and play with friends, riding in a small RV when she needed medical attention was not the choice to make. Man that had to be so hard, I am very grateful you thought of her and her medical needs, thank you for showing that also. It is heart wrenching as she loved your family but top priority was her health care. I hope when she is adopted you guys can visit her. Thank you for showing the very difficult decision to get her healthcare not just take her with you.

[@livingsmalldreamingbig]

Thank you for seeing that and sharing it. It’s hard to read these comments and not feel defensive of our friends and decisions that we made together about what truly was best for her.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

I cried my eyes out. What a tough spot for you guys to be in. Heart breaking. I’m glad Lindsay was able to find that good girl some help.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

There are so many added layers of complexity with this dog that weren’t shared, she was having some health issues which would have prevented her from being able to cross the border. She was a free range dog and that was the life she was accustomed to- how would it be fair to make her live in a tiny rv and never free roam. It seems so easy to say we should have just taken her- but there’s so much more to the story that we didn't have time to share.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much!!

[@rachelcharris]

Thank God you rescued that dog It was clearly one that had been abandoned as it was so good with humans. It broke my heart watching that and I was just praying and then you said that you'd called the rescue. I really hope she's okay she deserves a good home. It's really sad you couldn't take her. Also I would not feel safe travelling in Mexico as I have another camper friend on KZbin who had a terrible time so please be careful all of you but the turtles were adorable and the whales. I've watched your channel on and off for about 4 years and you always have the most beautiful camera work well done. It's also very impressive that you've lasted so long in this lifestyle which is not easy as I know. I've done it myself for a few months in the UK. Bless you ❤ Even prayed for JJ when you were trying and so wonderful to see him becoming a young man. God is so good 👍

[@shelleywalker6225]

I live at the coast in NC. There are authorized volunteer organizations that mark and protect turtle nests. When it gets time for the nest to "boil" and the hatchlings to head to the sea, we often get out chairs and go sit and wait with the volunteers. Sometimes it takes sitting (in the dark, no lights to confuse the turtles) at the same nest a few nights before the magic happens. I never get over that special sight of those babies waddling to the ocean.💙💙

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you for sharing.

[@jeremyj612]

You guys have such a beautiful family, and hearts of gold. There are so many more people who watch you that appreciate that then there are people who want to pick apart everything they see, oblivious to all of the other realities you deal with that don’t make the cut. I don’t comment much, but wanted to pass on a word of encouragement since you’re having to deal with all the should have could haves.

It's so cool to see things like the turtles through a child's eyes. JJ was feeling fear for the turtles because of the big wild ocean. Then he talks about the turtles moms.

It would have been impossible for me to leave that sweet dog. What a sweetheart. I can relate to Hensley’s reaction. Can’t tell you how many dogs my parents took in because I wouldn’t leave them.

Good for you in making sure the dog was going to be looked after. That was the best thing you could have done. Also, this was another great video.❤😘

You are so kind, thank you.

The turtles are so ADORABLE!! LOVE THEM ❤

I just love watching your journey. I look forward to your videos.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you.

[@thesandsie13the2nd]

lining up @ the Coutts , Alberta border crossing on a normal day is what that line up reminded me of

[@lbales4942]

The dog loved the kids ❤️😢.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Yes she did but there were so many complications that we just could not share with her.

[@dawnie3029]

We just played the TTO game today!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Ha, you got the reference.

[@robinsonsontheroll5482]

As I was watching this I thought of a van life couple I also watch Eamon & Bec they are involved with Cerritos Beach Dogs. Not sure of the KZbin timelines but they helped open a shelter right where you were on Cerritos Beach. Glad Kelty found a place to be loved. ❤

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Yes thank you, they were a little ways away from us and we were able to get her local medical treatment.

[@harrygoodman6724]

While you were debating the pro’s and con’s of adopting Kelty… it is clear that she had adopted you! So heart breaking to see her following you as you were leaving. SO GLAD that Lindsey made the call to the shelter. I hope someone can take her and give her a good home.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

There are so many added layers of complexity with this dog that weren’t shared, she was having some health issues which would have prevented her from being able to cross the border. She was a free range dog and that was the life she was accustomed to- how would it be fair to make her live in a tiny rv and never free roam. It seems so easy to say we should have just taken her- but there’s so much more to the story that we didn't have time to share.

[@cathyjohnson9727]

Thank you Lindsay for thinking of making that call! Keltey’s medical needs will be taken care of. I know that leaving her was difficult. Your sweet babies will have fond memories of the time with her and they learned such an amazing life lesson. No matter how small the creature, always love and care for them. You did this by finding a future for Keltey!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much.

[@ritaadams8379]

Good grief. Marissa, you know what is right for your children and your family. Anyone really watching this video should be able to clearly see that the decision to leave the dog broke your heart. I love a dog as much as anyone else but she wouldn't have been happy in your tiny RV. ❤

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you Rita. We loved Kelty. We also posted a few details in the comments at the top we left out of the video for time's sake. Honestly, you are not supposed to take a dog into the US until it is medically cleared. Kelty had numerous medical issues we did not mention in the video.

[@ritaadams8379]

@@LessJunkMoreJourney l saw that. I also saw the armchair warriors who watched a 20 minute video and decided that they knew you and your motivation not to mention the border laws. Several people have mentioned Eamon and Bec's channel. They talk about the requirements for taking a dog from Mexico to Canada. Spoiler alert - its more difficult than just getting them in the car. I'm a fellow Tennessean and county girl. We always had animals on our farm. They are a responsibility above all else. Love you all!

[@badgerpa9]

I hope Kelty finds a forever home, she obviously loved your family. We had so many abused dogs go through our home when my daughter use to get them, it still was so hard every time letting them leave after you got them to understand love. Did they say where the sea turtles in the Pacific go to grow up? The Atlantic side the turtles hide in the Sargasso Sea to grow up.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Good question.

I know you can't keep that sweet momma dog, but I am so happy you found a rescue group to take her ❤️ That killed me seeing her try and run after you guys 😢 !!

@Less Junk, More Journey So true, even if you wanted to keep her, they never would have let her across the border.

[@davidjackman5773]

OK....the turtle thingy was way way cool. I'm a big kid and I was enthralled, I can only imagine what was going on in the minds of those kids. Thank you!

Ok now I'm crying. I have a huge heart for dogs and that dog definitely chose you guys. Haven't finished watching yet ( my five year old keeps needing me so I have to keep pausing, but guessing you couldn't take the dog with you) I know you're hearts are broken 💔

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

No we could not, we posted a comment with an update on Kelty if you are interested.

[@ellielizhavenofbless945]

@@LessJunkMoreJourney I think I saw it scrolling a bit. I think Kelty chose you guys because she knew you would care for her and now she's in a great place getting what she needs. Smart doggy! I know that was hard on you guys though having to drive away knowing she was chasing you. Ugh what a sweet ending taking care of the baby sea turtles! Aren't they the cutest!? When you were holding the one up it looked like the sea turtle on the Nemo movies ☺️
