My Last trip with my Best Friend Isaac... Most Emotional and hardest video I've ever had to make..

I took my boy Isaac out for a nice trip in the woods by the creek. We had to cut it short as the bugs were a bit much for him. I told him we’d be back.
Then just shortly after the unimaginable happened..
Hug all your cute puppies and fur babies because you never know when that sad day will come.

[@Bushradical]

Isaac was a big sweetheart of a dog.

[@tp06]

I'm so sorry to hear about Isaac. Never met him, but I'm in tears because I know how much joy our pets bring us. ❤

Or four legged best friends just don’t live long enough!😢😢

[@PaullaWells]

Oh, Chad, I'm so sorry, buddy. My condolences to the whole family. It is such a hard thing to lose a wonderful furry and loyal friend. Y'all are in my thoughts and prayers. ❤🤗

[@lauraquigley6403]

What a Beautiful tribute 😢! RIP Isaac!🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s

[@WSBM]

Lost my Samson (St. Bernard) in April of this year. Was one of the most difficult experiences of my life to let him go. But the memories of how he made not only my life but so many other lives better will remain. And I am a firm Believer I will see him again in the world to come. If not one sparrow falls to the earth without the Father, surely these furry packages of love are taken back to Himself. I pray healing for you and your family and the knowledge that your Isaac, too, is with the Father. I hope Samson and him meet and have an awesome time together, in Jesus' name I pray.

i know how hard it is i cried for weeks when my bella left us but now i have cookiie and i love her

[@TheDogLife5225]

So sorry. Love to you and the family. I refused to get a dog for years because of the pain of losing them but now have a 4.5 year old German Shepherd and a 4.5 year old, Rottweiler/ChowChow/Pit mix. They are both healthy and happy, but I already dread the day they will no longer be with me. They are more than companions to me. We spend all day together, every day and can pretty much read eachother's minds.

[@craigesckelson1510]

Thanks for sharing, we lost our little dachshund at the beginning of this year and this made me think of him. It's amazing how dogs can touch your life and it's even harder when they grow up with your kids. Dogs are certainly a gift from God so it's hard to believe they won't be there waiting when we make it home in heaven. Best of wishes to you and your family!

[@thomasforthe9274]

Having been through this many times in my life they are always hard to lose. The newer friends are always different always bringing with them new traits and behaviors. They cannot replace what was lost, but fill in a new set of memories with new gifts of love. R.I.P. Issac.

[@FordDude66]

Issac was a great big brother to the girls and I know that you all will miss him. It was hard to watch this without getting a tear in my eye. RIP Issac. Todd from da U.P.😢❤️

[@davcox100]

I’m sure Isaac is enjoying his new life in the next world. So sorry Chad for the loss of your best buddie. What a lovely tribute you gave him.

[@MO-wv5qh]

We are so sorry for your loss!! We do love our fur babies! They are our children. Absolutely loved the tribute video, very beautiful!! Our prayers are with you!

[@madmex2k]

That video just tore a hole clean through me. I am crying like a little kid and I can't stop thinking of all my beautiful furry friends I have lost through the years. I found my baby Chihuahua Lola passed away and had to bury her in my backyard. It was 15 degrees and ground was frozen solid. I had frozen tears on my face. My son came home when I was about finished, he saw me digging and realized she was gone. Horrible day. He loved her and had helped her when she gave birth to her only litter. Perfect dog. I am sure Isaac was a perfect best dog too. Its hard to deal with losing them. They seem to want nothing else but to make us happy. I think they understand us better than we do them, for sure. The Lord will bring you peace and understanding.

[@billiegoodman4872]

So love this fam! Losing your soul👊👊👊👊👊mate is HARD. I know this to be true! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️it’s so hard.

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

So sorry guys… it’s so hard to lose them. 🥲

[@robo08ify]

Just saw this video(May, 2024). Sorry for your loss. Watching your videos, you could tell ‘The Supervisor’ was much loved by all and will be missed. There is a saying that says: You actually die twice. The first is your physical death and the second is when the last person to remember your name dies. Isaac will still be with us for a long time. Condolences and prayers from Massachusetts.

[@1944chevytruck]

Sorry to hear. My condolences to all....

[@kenn1936]

Issac had an awesome life, with a family that loved him. He had more trips than most dogs every have because you were so adventurous!!! I still laugh at that boat trip you had when he jumped into that little boat, with the whole family and almost capsized it. Seeing that again, still makes me laugh ... I think that really shows what Issac meant to you and your whole family :- "NO DOG LEFT BEHIND". even on at tiny boat trip. Issac would thank you for his wonderful life, you have taken him everywhere. He will always be with you in spirit. RIP ISSAC, "The Supervisor". always, lying around supervising your work. ❤ I am so sorry you lost Issac, but the real blessing was - you had him, he was YOUR buddy, and an incredible companion.

[@jeannenimmo5]

Take a look for this video on KZbin - it's called, 'If I Could Talk.' You'll 'get it' when you watch it. And here is a quote for you: “What must we have done, in the distant past, to deserve dogs? There is a certain ‘magic’ they bring into our lives which can be had in no other way - they truly are a gift for which we have no complete explanation.”(Unknown). Sorry for your loss. Be well, stay safe.

[@deano.7533]

I was wondering where you guys disappeared to. Now it all makes sense. I'm truly saddened to hear about Isaac's passing. Your DIY video's will never be the same without your union supervisor making his presence known on all of your many family farm projects. My heartfelt condolences to you. Please send my condolences to the girls as well. I'm keeping you all in my thoughts and in my prayers. During these trying times never forget that while life goes on here on the Earth. Life will also go on in the hereafter for all those who make the cut. Believe in Jesus Christ, keep living a good and healthy lifestyle, and you're all going to make it to the promise land where Isaac is right now. Never stop setting a good example for your children and for so many others to follow. You all definitely make a positive difference in this troubled world we all live in today. I for one just love the cut of your jib sail Chad. You're a good husband, a good father, and an all around excellent family man. I'm certain that God Almighty is well pleased with you. You may not be aware of it right now. But your red hair and ruddy complexion speaks directly to the fact that you are a true living descendent of the lost twelve tribes of the Israelite nation. Don't you forget that. Take care friend. sincerely, Dean O. :-I

Thank you Dean O!

[@Maxid1]

I had to pump myself up for a few days before I watched this. My wife was an animal health technician. We were hospice in our home for animals that were dying that weren't in pain, but the owners couldn't put down. So they lived with us until they died. We might have had hundreds of animals die in our home in the course of 10 years. Some animals lived for months, some died over night. But I had a perfect batting average, I fell in love with every one of them. My wife has been bitten by every animal that you can survive being bitten by. I worked with her on many occasions(not as an employee, just holding animals while they did stuff to them) but was never bitten (you just have to know her to know what I mean...) I had to force our own pets we had to prefer her to me. Why she ever went into the veterinary field.. anyway I estimated by the average lifespan of a pet until it died and how many you can have in one life time that I experienced 800 years of pet grief. I no longer have pets. I can't lose another one. I experience pet grief when friends lose pets. I go to friends homes and their cat or dog will climb into my lap. They just know. The weirdest thing I've ever seen was at an outreach we were at. We had lunch at one of the church members homes and the daughter says, "That dog hates me." The dog was of course in my lap getting her ears rubbed. I stopped and looked at her, she was a fairly small terrier mix and she looked right me when I stopped and I said, "Go over and sit in her lap and be nice to her!" That dog did it! She looked guilty and got off my lap, walked across the room and climbed up into the girls lap and put her head down, still looking guilty. I don't know if it stuck or not, it was an outreach with a fellowship church a few hours away, but that was an amazing day and a great outreach. It's easy to see Issac was a four legged pillow. It's impossible to sleep without one.

[@Revelation22-13]

John 3:16-18 King James Version 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. bless you

Very sad…. I know how you feel….. I still have my buddy Max of 10 years on my phone as a screen saver 6 years later….you’ll probably get another one one day… it will never be a replacement, but hopefully another great companion to share further memories with….. Best of luck brother 👊🏻

So sorry for your lost. They call them pets but they are family. Nothing I say will make it better. Time is the only remidy. Take care and appreciate every moment with the family. 🤗🤗🤗

[@damienroser8004]

Sorry forgot loss bud. I've had the pleasure of owning a presa canario that just turned a year old and he is maybe the best dog I've ever had. Never had a mastiff breed before but the most loyal protector I ever had. But we get them for such a short time with a life span of only 10 years. Condolences.

[@ablelock]

So sorry to hear about you losing Isaac I just like you said losing a friend or even better than that losing your family member I’ve often thought of our own dogs as our family members. My heart reaches out to each and everyone of you during your time in this time forward as you are working through the grief of losing poor, loving Isaac. 😢😢❤

[@neon-john]

Chad, I'm a big, tough guy, 6'7", 260 lbs who never loses control and who runs toward the emergency. I've been sitting here bawling my eyes out over your loss of Isaac and your wonderful video eulogy. I went through that same hurt 16 years ago. I'm a cat person. I had a 20 lb Manx (the one without a tail) named Bob who was the smartest creature I've ever been around. He was a totally indoor cat but I took him RVing with me (the MH didn't move without him in it.) Unfortunately on one of those trips he caught a virus that made his heart enlarge to fill his whole chest. 12 years ago, he died in my arms. He gave me a pat on the cheek with one paw and then just stopped breathing. I was a basketcase for days. Then the most incredible thing happened. I live in the Cherokee National Forest on the Tellico river in TN. This is a national trout fishing destination and there is a Fish Hatchery a mile up the road that stocks about 100,000 rainbow trout a year. One day at the general store, we were sitting around when the manager of the hatchery came in and asked if anyone would like a kitten. I had misgivings because of my recent loss but since I lived alone, I went and looked. When I looked in the pet carrier, it 'bout knocked me off my feet. There was Bob in kitten form. Of course I took him. Fred turned 16 in July and is still fine and healthy. But I know I'll be facing the same loss in a few years. I meandered around about Bob to give you this advice. Get another Isaac puppy ASAP! I know the hurt is awful now but having a puppy in the family will make things get better so much faster. I'll never get over Bob. He was that one companion in a person's life who leave the indelible mark that nothing can replace. I'll never truly get over him but Fred has made it so much better. I can now look at an oil painting I had done of Bob with only fondness and almost no grief. While I'm writing I want to tell you how much I love this channel and your family. I discovered it about 2 months ago and have watched every video. You and your family give me some hope for this world. Your girls are amazing. Please keep making videos. My only question is, why the UP? You passed through TN. Here's where you should have stopped!!! John.

[@9252LIFE]

Hi John, thanks for that. Those are some pretty cool cats. And that was a lot of years. We’re going to hold off on another dog as we have Kerchak who is our outside guardian dog and we have Kala who is also an outdoor livestock guardian who stays in the fence with the cows and sheep. And we actually looked at a couple properties in Tennessee but since we have family in lower Michigan we decided to move closer but not too close in the Upper part. Alabama was way to hot in the summer months to be enjoyable and when we looked at property in Tennessee is was just as hot and humid. Tennessee is beautiful and I’d still like property there one day but for now we need to plant some roots. Give Fred a good pay on the head for me. Take care John!

[@paulhoneyman6923]

[@spamanator666]

Sorry to hear it, I don't have any pets right now because I need some time to heal since losing my last one too. I can't go through it again. Which is actually something I tell myself each time, but of course we need them more with what they bring when they are here than the pain of losing them, they bring so much when they are are here it is worth it! He looked healthy enough and alert, still able to get out and walk through the woods, are you able to share what exactly happened?

[@9252LIFE]

He had a stroke
