Fun Fact: dogs are the most vulnerable when they're using the bathroom and depend on their pack to protect them. If your dog stares at you and follows you to the bathroom they are protecting you because you are part of their pack.

Except for Lucia that one rando dog at a hardware store she sat on my lap and hid there while her owner had a heart attack while screaming at her

Wow, what sweet parents to deliver groceries, they are the best❤🌟. Your pup is so adorable and total sweetness, give her lots of love. Her growling at the door is because she hears things that we. could never hear. Do you have mountain lion/cougars or coyotes or fox in your area? If so, please don't let your puppy out alone, have her right by you because I live near these wild animals and they can snatch a pet so fast that is even standing near you, sad but true. Love your videos....Thanks for having us along🌟😷

[@ReyOfLight]

I haven’t really heard much about the whole Uncle Roger incident, but I’ve been subscribed to this channel for several years by now and I love all the food and travel videos! I’m also one who fully support human rights and have no issues with someone’s personal beliefs as long as there’s a mutual respect and someone isn’t harming anyone else or trying to shove their belief down other peoples throats, and this is one of the best KZbin channels out there because here we have a guy who cares about human rights and who is practicing a certain meditation but doesn’t push it on others or try to recruit people into trying it despite having such a huge platform. Mikey is just a really good guy with a pure heart, a guy who doesn’t back down when it comes to human rights and who doesn’t let himself be bullied to silence by a government that is persecuting people like him. I stand with Mikey!

Your parents bringing you food reminds me of, when I was in quarantine and didn't had a fridge and oven, my mom decided to bring me food. There was noodle salad, ice cream, pudding and a big package of chocolate milk in her package for me. Many parents are going a bit overboard, but it's so sweet.

[@LuvAndee]

"That's when Asian parents drop off supplies." 🤣 It's so true! One of my roommates tested positive last week so my roomies and I are quarantining. My mom wanted to help out by buying cleaning supplies. And I requested her to also get hot dogs, deli meat, and cheese. She got that 3x and eggs, bread, and cakes. But hey we won't need to worry about food for a while.

I get scared whenever my dog stares, bark, and growl at my stairs and I’m constantly saying “go away” in my mind and hugging my dogs. The first time my dogs barked at nothing was after our grandmothers funeral. We brought her urn and portrait home and my dog went crazy. He would continuously bark and growl at the urn and portrait and were all like 😳”grandma’s here.” We told our mom when she came to the living room and she went back to her room, it was only after we said we love her and good bye did our dog stopped barking. And since then I get scared when they growl and bark while looking at something because dogs are sensitive to the supernatural.
