So sweet you gave Gracie Lou some cheese. It made me cry. Miss her so much. So happy she is still with all of us. ❤️🙏🌷🍀 Hope y'all are staying safe through the storm.

[@lisamarcellino8837]

Oh my I’m so full of giggles over your son and the tea story. He is so cute and the best part of you both. Love when he is in the video- makes me smile! Reminds me of my Boys at that age.

[@zachermm]

🧀🧀🧀🧀 I don’t think I’ve ever been so sad to see cheese. 😢 I also caught myself listening for Gracie’s “meow” during the taste test, to be followed by Mandy’s “ma’am”.

[@Mphscat]

26 years WOW. You sure don't hear that much these days. You just can't go wrong with a good burger. Mandy, you are so fortunate Stephen cooks so well and is so happy to do it. I know your house seems a bit empty without Gracie Lou. We all miss her too and I am so sorry for your loss (again).

The comment about you don't hear of marriages lasting anymore...Hubby and I will celebrate 36 yrs. in May.

@@sharonj7274 Congrats to you both! ♥️

[@0427MB]

Loved your first video after you lost your Gracie Lou. I can feel the emptiness in your hearts, all of you! We always had dogs, golden retrievers, and not just one, but 4 till year after year, there were none! It was too much for our hearts to take, loosing them, so decided to not have another one. Then, that summer, shows up a feral kitten in our yard. I fed her outside till winter came, then decided she needed a home, and she was pregnant at that time! So, to make the story shorter, now we have 3 cats, no dogs, but the cats help fill the emptiness in our hearts for our dogs. We will never get over not having them, but we now have 3 cats! OMG, never a dull moment! Someday, God will bring to you what you need to fill that hole in your heart. Just keep your eyes open for it! Bless you all!

[@bbgirl6741]

The little cat statue and the photos of her are beautiful reminders of the love you shared. She will never be completely gone as long as you keep her in your hearts. She was very blessed to have soo many happy years being loved by you. Hugs to you and your family and may you find comfort in your cherished memories of time spent with her. 🧀🍗🐈‍⬛❤

[@kimperez3816]

Just love Cole’s tea story! He commentates like his Papa! ❤ Thank you as always for sharing your wonderful family with us. Continued prayers as you mourn Miss Gracie Lou!

[@LisaPrestonOnline]

One addition I would suggest...put a pile of cheese on the griddle so it forms a circle then when the cheese is melted and the bottom is browned, drop your cooked hot dog in the middle and fold the cheese up around it like a taco. Transfer to the bun and continue to dress it as you like. It's delicious!!!

[@cygrad89]

That sounds amazing!!

[@reginasipes4248]

Mandy, I'm not sure if anybody has told you this little trick, but if you add water to raw hamburger, it seems to smooth the meat out. As it cooks, the water evaporates, and the meat has a smoother texture. Mix the meat and water together. It'll make a paste, then cook it. Love your videos ❤

[@amybreth2776]

My Kyle and I knew each other in 3rd grade and we didn't really even talk to each other until last year and we have been inseparable since that day. And the actual day/ weekend him and I hung out was labor day. And we're happy and together and he took in my baby girl kitty Willow Mae . They are so cute together it melts my heart. I lost my mama in 2022 unfortunately but she found ya'll and the bunkeys too. Been watching for years. I smile 24/7 watching ya'll. Much love from Ohio. Thank you. Plus I'm sorry for your loss of Gracie. I loved her too.❤

Steven looks at you with such love in his eyes and that just warms my heart❤ My Mama never ever put sugar in her tea so I grew up never knowing about sweet tea until my early teen years. Bc of that my preference is unsweetened tea.

[@ReginaC11411]

So sorry about your kitty! 🐈‍⬛💝 When I had to put down my first kitty several years ago, my sweet husband intercepted opening tuna cans for me and I didn’t realize it! Finally, about 8 months after, I opened one and lost it! 😭 Then he admitted he’d been trying to stay a few steps ahead and opened the cans for me because he knew the first can I’d open would wreck me since my kitty was gone. Sending love and prayers! Happy to say 12 years later our family adopted the sweetest brown tabby and he completed our family. Our son wanted a kitty just like Gracie Lou and ours even loves cheese just like she did! It was so hard watching your first episode without her. ❤❤❤

[@tanyaanderson6509]

Oh! Have y’all EVER had rotel sausage dip as a topper to a chili dog? It’s wonderful!!

[@donnabraden3126]

I love my sweet potato fries dipped in barbecue sauce. And I want to give you my condolences for the passing of your sweet angel! Healthiest 20 old kitty ever, I loved the sweet white chin and cheeks. Thank you for sharing her life with us, because I don’t have a kitty. She was a blessing to many people❤️

I have been watching this video on my tv and just picked up my phone to leave a comment but, instead of opening KZbin I opened my texting app. Probably because I've been watching so long it just feels like we're friends at this point. Lol. What I wanted to say is have you ever tried making your hot dogs in the air fryer? Five minutes at 400 and they are sooooo good! Highly recommend!!

I met the love of my life in Aug 1997. We were married and together til April 2015. He went to Iraq in 2003-2004 he came back not the same. He didn’t get help for the PTSD and took it out on me and when the kids were old enough to ask questions and see how he treated me I had to go in 2015. I still love him so much and we were able to successfully co parent. Our youngest is now 19 and we have a grandson together. But my heart still melt is when I see him. He still looks and smells the same lol but he has mellowed since our divorce but yall I miss our family but I didn’t want the kids to think the way he treated me was ok once they started to notice things and ask questions. Still hopelessly in love tho 😢

So SAD! Miss her already! Much love to you all for loving such a sweet girl!

Mandy, I lost it when you put cheese in front of Gracie’s picture. I’m having a hard time commenting because my heart is broken along with yours. It might seem silly to some people that we could have these feelings for a fur baby we only see on a video, but as a cat mom also, it is easy to connect our hearts. Gracie brought sunshine and a smile to every video she was in. Know you are not grieving alone. I’m am so sorry for your loss. She will truly be missed. Much love to your family. 🐈🐈🐈🐈🐈❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
