Reuben the Bulldog: Almost Recovered

[@BJ2020_]

Mike, I still say you missed your calling professionally. Your wittiness never ceases to amaze me. Laughed the entire time. The bond between you and Reuben shines through you both. Glad Reuben on the mend!

[@KQuinn672]

Ikr love him cracks me up😂

[@bernadettegreen7134]

Amen, Bunny. Mike definitely missed his calling.

[@Mama-Ames]

💕 As one of the earliest Fans/Subs of the Reuben The Bulldog Channel (Subscriber #37), I knew from the very beginning & recall telling my husband, children, family & friends: Because of Mike's priceless wit & simply adorable sense of humor shared with us thru the eyes of his little "Mr. Man," the cutest silliest one-in-a-million EBD angel, our "Roo"... AND... the charm of dear Carol's laughter, which is absolutely infectious... OH MY YES!!! I knew & said from the start: 💕 "REUBEN THE BULLDOG" IS GOING TO BE HUGE!!!" 💕 Mike's witty sense of humor is SO unique & SO silly!!! And it is apparently INFINITE!!! 😂 He is TRULY... A MARKETING... GENIUS!!! I couldn't be happier about Roo's fame & the success of this Channel. But mostly, I'm just so grateful to Mike & Carol & to our precious little Roo for all the years of joy & laughter they've shared with my heart & have added not only to MY life, but to the lives of thousands of Roo fans around the world! My heart is SO full. I find it just amazing & so wonderful how this one family, the Melnottes & one little Bully pup... by sharing the very BEST of themselves, they bring out the very BEST in US. They unify us, all kinds of people... from urban to rural, from greatly to sparsely populated, to even the most remote places throughout world... "Reuben The Bulldog" unifies us. Im hopeful you will please forgive my long reply. But after giving it more thought, I'm not convinced Mike actually "missed his calling" afterall. In looking back over the years, hearing from & getting to know the many people who've been touched by the heartwarming love, joy & beautiful laughter from dear "Reuben The Bulldog," I believe perhaps Mike has actually FULFILLED his "Calling." I do. And so... again I say: Thank you dear Melnotte family. God bless you. And God bless ALL things "Reuben The Bulldog." 💕X🥰O💕🙏💕X🥰O💕

@@Mama-Ames ditto.

[@catherinebrady2640]

This was one of the best you've done. "Accupuncture for Dummies." "So, pet me already." "Meditation makes me hungry." And so much more.

[@samanthab1923]

Could you imagine Roo sitting quietly with all the accupuncture needles sticking out of him like some weird hybrid? 😂💋🐶

[@lauriesuecragin-klammt4411]

So glad to know Reuben is feeling better!

[@annepinneyuvioo]

Tell Dad to sing another song! TREATS!

[@susangholson960]

Friday nights are back with Reuben & our boy is showing sassy signs..when he plays with Dad..so glad to see him perky again!!🐾💜🐾🍪🥓🍦

[@vickyg3656]

So happy seeing Reuben feeling like his old self. Love that boy. 🥰

[@Excalibur2112]

Couldn’t stop laughing from this one, Mike and Roo!🤪

[@Mama-Ames]

As Roo contacts Rachel & Tyler & demands they return home... insisting Dad has WAY too much time on his hands!!!💕X🥰O💕X🥰O💕X🥰O💕

[@luChewy8458]

🤣🤣🤣

[@gladysadams7203]

If this man would spend more time in giving me treats rather than therapy,my life would sure be a hell of a lot easier🥰

[@nimeryaspawnbrd1049]

I know, right? The "there should be a treat in there" during meditation was so spot on... 🤣❤

[@jenniferlopez3554]

😁

[@dean9235]

recovery is the important thing. After a night out tonight I come home to Sir Reuben Melnotte. A great hangover cure. xxx

[@marymathews8421]

Roo says he’s feeling a lot better but Dad is losing his mind.

[@roxannewert3309]

Well now that turned my muscle-fatigued frown into a relaxed and happy smile. Thank you Reuben!!!

[@1jackvalley580]

I'm so happy to see our sweeeet Reuben starting to wrestle with you, he definitely feeling so much better. I was laughing when Roo was looking at you while you're telling him all of the many positive statements that he needs to think about, and he just couldn't take it anymore and finally bolts when you said "Live, Laugh, And Love" he was running 💨🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️😂

[@tclark7802]

Reuben, Daddy is trying really, really, REALLY HARD to make you feel better quick. He must miss the real feisty you. Much love & prayers for y'all. 💕🐾💕

[@SteveMikre44]

Mike loves Reuben so much he is willing to breakout the chessey motivational quotes to get him 110% well...❤😂

[@donnapowell5291]

Dad is starting to feel relief from Roo's healing process, Roo on the other hand is thinking . . . Mom, Rachel, Tyler . . . HELP!!! Acupuncture!!!!!!! Although, Dad does fill Roo with Healing Love, Sunshine and Laughter. . . The best medicine ever!!! Ahhh, a Great Friday Night Video!!! 🥰💖😍😘🤗❤️💗💞💖

[@dawnhezlep2077]

Reuben is definitely doing better. Hugs to the Melnotte family.

[@lindayoung58]

Loved that Dad was sitting on your bed while leading your meditation trial- you managed the tribulation of it wonderfully Reuben. Your 'Chomp It' method of handling the cheesy motivational quotes recitation was great!!! (ps.:Hey I watched this at sunset so it was early enough to laugh uproariously out loud...or so I thought. Tsk, I still heard (other) old people who live near me grumble about the ruckus... but heck who cares so long as you feel better Roo!! 🥳

[@keithbates598]

Reuben, I don't know what to say about your Dad, except he has made me laugh through the whole vlog!! Keith asked before we read the subtitles, did Mike loose his mind 😳??? We are glad you are getting back to yourself Reuben!!! Attacking your Dad was the first sign of Reuben being Reuben!!!! Thanks Mike. Joan and Keith

[@barbd9887]

You never cease to make me laugh! Love Roo-boi❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@skibunny1631]

I went on a vacation to the Netherlands about 8 or nine yrs ago, When my cousin who is a Reiki master performed Reiki on me it worked about as well as it did for Mr. Man. It was a nice bonding session for us as I see it was for you and Roo! Lol!

“Dad, stop inventing therapies for me to feel better already. Give me plenty of treats, yak sticks, a nice car ride or walk in the park, and oh yeah…maybe another new bed in a location of my choice. I’ll be right as rain then. The roughhousing was a nice touch 👍🏻.” Glad to see Roo getting back to his old self Mike 🙏🏻😘👏🏼☺️.
