my bulldog loves fish so let's DIY her a pond

[@natashaheino2412]

They way Cali and Blaze are so gently curious about the other animals is so precious 🥺

[@afroborilafemme]

0:31 Cali kissing those fish is just so darn cute!!!!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Isn't it insane? She is such a unique animal.

[@afroborilafemme]

Rachel, you have such a beautiful soul. ❤ Not only do you care about the wildlife on your property, but the care you’re giving to renovating your property while still honoring the work the previous owners did, I freaking love that!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much! 🥹🫶🏼

[@lucytoles]

I LOVE that you are obsessed with catering to your dog's obsessions and for being kind to all animals!!! You are my kind of people Rachel!!!

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@AdriWiid]

I know your channel is about DIY-ing, BUT I love seeing other elements.. the sunset, the critters, your cute doggo's or you simply enjoying your space ❤

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

That makes me really happy to know I can incorporate more of it.

[@heatherrose2272]

Cali has a ❤️ on her shoulder!!

[@carm3n461]

I hope Cali is happy with her fish friends wherever her spirit is🤍🕊

[@kellilandry2825]

Episodes with Lindsay and the dogs are so so fun! ❤❤❤

[@andream6531]

I love that Ms. Cali derg 🐶 has a heart shaped mark on her. Fitting for the most adorable queen

[@sukkubuzz]

Rachel, you are amazing!! Not only are you building a pond for your fish-obsessed dog and the critters in your backyard but you are re-using materials from the previous owners that were placed there with love. I've been watching your channel for some time and always had mad respect but I had to place a comment and say.. thank you for being the great person you are.

[@ScorpioWomanMoon]

My heart is so full...seeing Cali enjoy herself really does something to me ❤

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

She's the best.

[@joannaprevost426]

😂😂🤣 This video was so epic !! Critters and playmates. I have been watch you for years, you are such a inspiration. I have saved and saved and bought a dump of a house on a great lot on a river. It's almost ours , going through all the B.S. paper work etc.. it's in another state and my hubby and I will be going in August. I'm so excited and 4 hands will be better than two. It is a seasonal place that can be used year round. I can't wait to put some of the skills I learned from your vlogs . Getting a vlog from you is like a present thank you 😁

[@lir9875]

Your spark has returned and it's great to see. Love the pond and I'm so happy to see how much you value and covet the property's history.

I love curious pets I just a turtle tank for my cat Sokka and he watches him swim all day long it brings me so much joy to see it.

[@madelynvazquez9006]

She loves fish so much and they love her too omgggggggg 🥹🥹 great job on the pond so far

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@Tantejuju65]

Excellent video...the only comment, personally, I prefer to have the dining area close to the kitchen but, that is me. Every time I have had people over, it turns out everyone is in the kitchen! With the table near the kitchen to me it makes more serving sense but also keeps the eating activity close to clean up. And then you can relax in a lovely conversation area in front of the fire...FYI love your table!!!

[@AmandadeOliveira]

We love you too Rachel. ❤❤

[@l.g.4451]

OMG, I loved this video. You have the best "broads" in your life. And your place is turning out so nicely. Loved the ending of video especially.

[@MegaMckenzie27]

I totally love you and your girls. And doggos too !

you make me miss my youth and my best friends back in the day. Love your channel, my girl!

Oh wonderful a miniature lover too. One day I will start my mini log cabin with 3 bdrms, 2 baths, living room saloon area, and kitchen full of goodies including a washer Dryer area. Most minis are already purchased or made.

[@missjennsmith6999]

This is the animal parent energy I expect from everyone. 🤣💯 Why not give them the best possible life while they're here, if you can ❤️

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you!

[@luordonez657]

We love you Rach! You are amazing! A true inspiration! ❤

[@lindarosenthal6835]

We used to have a basset hound, Magoo, who would drink from our pond and the fish would some see him just like they do your pups.

[@Suboptimalconditions]

I have so much love for your work. I love all of it.

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Thank you so much!

[@avivalore]

Ah I've been waiting for this since Lindsay said she was going to do a mini house for Calli by the pond or something to that effect...am I remembering that right? Anyway, I'm enjoying the outdoor content, it doesn't come as easy to me, so I like to see how others tackle it. Plus, I feel the outside space is the "face" of a property, as it's always the first thing you see. For me, if my outside space is together, I am able to better deal with any of the upheaval I'm undertaking on the inside, but this is the same attitude I use for conducting myself, so there is that bias. Besides, I can't deny that it simply makes me happy to be greeted with an awesome space whenever I come home. Oh my gosh, the last bit with Lindsay and the dogs 🤣🤣

[@MsArtistwannabe]

Cali is like Mr. Limpet. Movie with Don Knots from the sixties.

[@lechatbotte.]

Calle loves the Koi good girl. I had a koi pond for years I miss them. I built a bridge it was easy, easier than all the digging I did for the 3000 gallons. Desert sunsets are always breathtaking. Calle will be over the moon 🌚 I love the earthy desert vibe. Always love Mz Woodbrain

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Cali is such a unicorn 😂 thank you.

[@ginasmitasin479]

Not sure which way you plan to go with your landscape but a favorite small tree/large shrub is clerodendrum trichotomum a favorite plant. Fast growing once it’s established (12-15” a year) it has a sweet long lasting scent that lasts here in Oregon from the end of August until October. It’s common name is peanut butter tree. Despite what one website said it handles cold really well but they could be talking about a different variety.

Watching your videos gives the encouragement that women can truly do anything. You give me the courage to fix things and build thing on my own without needing my husbands help❤ I love my husband obviously and appreciate his help at all times, but if can figure it out and do it myself, these videos give me the courage. If you ever offered some kind of learning experience where people could come out to your property and learn from you with hands on experience, I’d 100% sign up. Love you and everything you’re doing.

I need to research it a bit more.

Do you safe rain water?

Only saying because it might come up or may have already but this is going to attract a lot of mosquitoesssss be careful! 😅

[@aliciacook8372]

Please add a few shade cloths so the fish don't boil. AND try out on the pond some gold fish or some other fresh water fish. I wouldn't want to see expensive fish go to fish heaven.

Wouldn’t you say everything home is hand place hand poured cement? Every contractor does things by hand too. That is the norm. Why do you celebrate that much?

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

Because these were placed by him and his children as they were building their dream family home. It's my property and that felt very special
