Sherpa's Health & What We Need To Do Next

[@annevine1501]

Don't beat yourself Jamie. You look after Sherpie fantastically. No one could do more. I think short walks, chilling in the garden, and maybe the very occasional trip to the beach are all that he needs now. We are all with you Jamie, please remember that xxxx

[@maureensawatzki7917]

Well said ❤

[@daisym1391]

[@lindaseel9986]

Well said Anne. Also trips to the beach are good, because salt water is good for the joints.

[@annienewman8312]

no matter how old our pets get they are still our babies.

[@Donnahoops-ge2fr]

Jamie, I know firsthand how it feels to watch your young dog transition into an older dog. It’s always the hardest part of having a beloved animal by your side for so many years. Love and treasure every moment. And I know you do!💕

[@eulissaford6031]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@SherpasDay]

It's so sad isn't it 😢

[@melaniechesnel9094]

I second this. We had a 14year old, much loved, labrador called Monty. At 14 he had to be finally put down in the middle of lockdown in May 2020. Our lovely vet came out to the car and he and I did it together in the boot of the estate car. The vet was as distressed as I was, he loved Monty, and he sent me a letter of condoleance afterwards. All I can say is the dog tells you when it is time. Keep doing what you are doing you have, as always, his best interests at heart.

[@beaverkat4267]

​@@SherpasDayit is. It is the saddest thing.

[@kbrown1058]

I too know what it's like to have an aging dog. It was hard realizing the 7 mile walks need to shrink to 3 miles then to a quick .5 walk down to a ride around the 7 mile walk zone. Deep sleep is scary cause it's so hard to wake them up. My girl was 15 1/2, She was weak on her back-end So I had to help her up the stairs by lifting her hips with a sling. So happy that Sherpa is enjoying his days the way he wants. Everything you are doing in my book is right. Love your video's 🥰🥰

[@Littlebit1031]

I’m going through this transition too. My girl just turned 16 which is old for a lab. Her arthritis is starting to get in her way. She struggles to walk, has hearing and vision issues, no longer plays with her toys but she loves food, loves her people and being in the yard. All we can do is give them the best until we know it’s time… ❤

[@Pi2.718]

I am there too ….. heart breaking 😢😢

[@kp8381]

Me too. My 16 yr old cocker is declining, and her Dementia is getting worse, but she's still eating and walking, so until they stop, we keep moving on everyday. 💜🐶❤️

[@alexacarrillo4339]

It is pricey but Deramax gave my dogs several extra good years so he made it to over 21 with his arthritis. My vet takes back the unused meds and gives them for free to people that need them so that is worth asking about as an option. I ended up donating hundreds of dollars of meds when my two dogs passed.

[@biblebill6206]

Dog food is the cause of almost all their health problems .

[@Godhelpus62]

Me too. My 15 year old Maltipoo Leo has arthritis and cataracts. The hardest part is when he isn’t eating well. He still loves his cousins (sister’s dogs), his walks (just not as long), and lots of cuddles. I’m just trying to give him lots of extra love and a great end of life time before living becomes harder than letting go for him.

Sweet Sherpa.Thank you for sharing him with us.Can tell he enjoys hanging out in the garden.

[@patriciaboyd1199]

The nice thing is , Sherpa probably doesn't care about his eye so we should not feel badly either. He has a lovely life and a great home.

Stop apologizing Jamie. You are doing your best with your lovely boy Sherpa. You are adapting really well and doing what Sherpa needs. Big hugs ❤❤

[@lemondropkid6175]

Even with a wonky eye he is still adorable.

[@SherpasDay]

I agree 😊

[@user-pd5vl4lr5p]

Anticipatory grief is something we all go through, but you are doing the right thing in giving Sherpa everything he needs, which is love, healthy food, medicines, and his garden.

[@jessicajarsak7812]

I started grieving when my missy began declining over several months and then I cried when she passed at the vets. She she a little over 13 1/2 yrs old. The best most loyal girl I’ve had. I miss her. And my senior cat passed a month before due to cancer so fading on her face. Talk about hard. She was such a beautiful smart pure white cat. And my little one passed a year later of old age. I had to take each of the 3 to the vet to pass peacefully. I have 4 girl dogs. 3 are 3 yrs old and the other is 5. 3 medium and a small. I still miss my other pets

[@chelek1439]

Its hard to see our fur babies get old but, ive never seen a dog so loved as much as Sherpa ❤

[@aldaamaral8121]

Getting old is part of life, the important is that you love him and you do everything for him, when the day comes, you will feel that he had a wonderfull life, loved respected, was a happy dog and you can enjoy the good memories. I had the same path twice and althoug the sadness, knowing the love and happiness that they were loved and had the best of everything, lets me spleep well at nignt. Life is this, enjoy every minute😊❤

[@ellenyoung9223]

I’m very sorry Sherpa is feeling poorly. He’s such a wonderful old guy. We love him the world round. ❤

[@wretchedmess]

I think Jamie has the right of it, and that he just has to adapt to Sherpy's ongoing, changing status. As far as Sherpa knows, things are normal and pleasant, and he enjoys his life and is happy and is so incredibly well cared for. WE are the ones that worry and agonize.... Jamie has done such a great job staying upbeat to Sherpa, and to not project his worries and fears to him. Sherpa continues to have a wonderful quality of life, albeit a bit slower and deliberate than before, as such a grand old man deserves. He's got a lovely home and garden, and Fort Sherpa to nap in, and a live in chauffeur, chef, and personal assistant!!

[@scifieric]

You NEVER need to apologize on behalf of Sherpa. He is a WONDERFUL dog. I'm in America (Pennsylvania) and I've been in America my entire life, and yet I feel attached to Sherpa as if I have known him. You have allowed us to participate (in an observational capacity) with Sherpa his whole life, and I assume that there are MANY more who would agree with me and who are also grateful. I am also very grateful to you, Jamie, for taking such good care of your lovely Sherpa. You have my undying gratitude. Thank you.

[@terimckay4128]

I have a cat who is becoming quite aged. She used to RUN from tree to tree in the yard, up one then leap down and up another. I once saw her snatch a bird out of mid air--it was OK, as I went screaming after her and made her drop it! Now she spends almost all day asleep in a favorite spot. She wakes up briefly to request a brushing (her personal grooming is not all it could be) or some treats (not bothering so much with big feeds, but treats are always welcome). It can seem sad, but when I think about an old age where you only do what you really enjoy, and everyone around you is always ready to get you whatever you want...well, that is not bad at all. Same for Sherpa, bless his heart!

[@christine3021]

Sherpa will be the one to tell you when he no longer enjoys going for walks. He may be getting older but, his Spirit and his Love for Life will get him through, one day at a time 😊 Jamie you are the Best Dad Ever.

[@elainedelvecchio8060]

It’s a shame about Sherpa’s eye, but he doesn’t seem to mind it and keeps on chugging along. We love him so much and want him to be happy.

Sherpa really is a beautiful old gentleman. So sweet and gentle with the still innocent heart of a puppy. I am so sorry he is having some effects of old age. I am 63 with very advanced painful arthritis, it kills me to see an Animal have it. I have just 1 wish left in life now, that one day soon all Dogs, and Animals, will be loved and cherished, never abused, the way that beautiful sweet Sherpa is loved and adored by his father Jamie. 🧸Feel 🧸Better 🧸Soon 🧸Sherpa🧸!! 🕊🤗♥️☘️🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦

[@charlotterockel-kennedy8913]

That is so heartbreaking. A few years back I lost 5 pets all shorty after each other, that's the problem I had because I got most of them the same time and they all grew old together and mourned for each other. I'm now watching my two greyhounds getting old, Rosie will be 12 soon and she's having a few problems. My two horses are both 28 and now have special need treatment. I love my old animals so much. Sending my love to you ❤

[@sarveale]

Dear Jamie and Sherpa. My old boy Sultan (a German Shepherd) got to his 13th birthday and then everything started hitting him at once. He didn't really want to go on walks Just stay home and laze about. Was on and off his food no matter what I did. Some days he would eat others he wouldn't. When he slept it was a deep sleep. You could of dropped a bomb beside him and he wouldn't hardly of noticed. He was happy having a wander out the back garden and liked to lay by the door. His breathing got heavier. His back legs were going and he wouldn't do stairs without help. He didn't want to get in the car without help either. I know a lot of people won't tell you what's to come and it shook me to the core. He was my dad's boy and my last link to my dad as dad passed away. My boy was my everything. When you've had a lot of furbabies in your life and you've seen how each one has passed away in your arms you learn the signs and can tell when there's not a lot of time left. The one thing you want is someone just to be honest with you. Obviously you'll do everything you can for them. But you also have to be real and prepare yourself best you can because you know there's not long left. You don't know how long, could be days weeks or months. But you know. You see them going down hill bit by bit and it's the hardest thing to watch. It rips your heart out. You don't want to face it and oh they will be fine I'll take them vets and they will give tablets or jabs and they will be fine. But you know in your heart time is not on your side and time is running out. Luckily my vet has known me for years and is honest. He said he hasn't got long enjoy the time you have left. He lived 6 months he had a couple seizures and recovered. But he was never the same. He just wanted to stay home and sleep most of the time. He put a brave face on. But I knew time was running out quicker than I thought it would. He collapsed when we were out on a walk. I screamed for help. A couple of lovely people carried him to the car and I got him to the emergency vet. The team were brilliant. His heart just couldn't take it. We tried for over half an hour but it was no good he crossed rainbow bridge that night. I brought his body home to take him to our vets on the Monday. I carried him in said a final goodbye and left. Apart from my own first gsd. He was the hardest. It felt like I lost him and dad all over again. Although I have my girl now a 2 year old gsd. it's not the same I still look for him and it's been a year and a half. My friends dog started going down hill and I saw the signs. No one would tell her. I did. And it helped prepare her a bit. She said I'm glad you told me, no one else would. It wasn't such a shock. Jamie I hope and pray I'm wrong. I love sherpa to bits and care about you. You and sherpa have taken me on some great adventures. I can't thank you enough for sharing your bond life and adventures with me and everyone else. Please dont take this in a bad way my heart is heavy and I have tears streaming down my face writing this. Call me a bitch or bad person whatever. I don't want you to go through what I did I'm still in pain now. this is ment in the kindest possible way and with love for you both. But please prepare yourself. Ive seen it and been part of it to many times not to know. It breaks my heart to say this. But time is not on your side. Sherpa has the best life any furbaby could wish for with a dad who adores him. A dad who littrtly moved mountains for him to give him the best of everything as he got older. Sherpa was a lucky fella to find you. And you were lucky to find him you've had an amazing life together been to so many places seen so many things and made more special memories than most people only dream of. You two are truly soul mates. It's beautiful to see. Sherpa your a handsome man. Just the way you are. A little Gray a little wobbly a little tired but still full of personality cheeky and sassy. I love you to bits fella. Get your dad to give you a big kiss from me. Or an extra treat. Jamie my heart goers out to you at this difficult time. Watching your baby get old health problems getting worse old ones popping up new ones coming out of nowhere. It's so hard to watch them slow down and not really want to do anything but knowing he will try just to please you. His heart and mind are willing but his body isn't able to keep up with what he wants to do. I know how painful this is to read and I'm so sorry. I truly am. Spoil him rotten enjoy every single day. Make a memory every day. Enjoy the time you have left. But be prepared as that bloody clock is ticking. There's never enough time with them. So make it special. Sending love and hugs from me and Starla from Plymouth U.K. Xx p.s if you need someone to talk to who understands I'm here xx

So sorry to hear of your loss. Dogs and other pets really do get right into your heart. You are right about the pet letting you know when it is time to say goodbye. Many a pet has let me know. It is the hardest decision to make, but you have to do it for them, not yourself. And always be there with them on their final adventure ❤

Am so sorry for your loss I lost my cat 3 years ago he was in an RTA we were traumatised as he never went near the road at all and I felt guilty as did my daughter for letting him out that night. We have his ashes they are inside a sleeping cat in my lounge we had visitations of him at the beginning we heard him around the house a lot not so much now but I know he still visits occasionally as I’m sure your beloved dog does too. I wish you peace and comfort

[@ImTheDudeMan471]

I was gifted a 6 yr old ACD in 2012. I had a 2 mile every morning running partner for 10 years. Yes it was me that had to adapt. It felt wrong running by myself, then going for short dog walk after. Which turned into shorter and shorter walks. Now it is just me and my running. Big hugs to Sherpa from San Diego, California, USA.

[@Ckws-dx8hr]

He’s so quiet, and his tail so different. Jamie is the best dad to do so much for him.

I've been following you and Sherpa for a long time now. I remember the long walks and wrestling with Nook and Keyush. It's been a beautiful journey and there's still more to come. It hurts because I remember when my Blue started to change from a crazy pup who wanted to walk all the time to a quiet old man who like to lie down is his huge yard or on the porch on his bed. He was no longer excited to walk in the morning. He passed away a few years ago and I miss him every minute of every day. Sherpa is lucky to have you and vice versa, I think. You are both very much loved. Hugs.

Aw thankyou, I'm all good 😊

[@goldenanticstoo9686]

Our fur buddies getting old…Sherpa knows he is loved and cared for by you Jamie…stay strong, life evolves. Congratulations on 100,000!

[@joyg7575]

Hugs for Sherpie! If worst comes to worse when my old dog wouldn't eat she would eat out of my hand. I'm glad he's eating today!

[@breadandcircus1]

It hurts me, saddens me deeply to see Sherpa's health in fragile state. Sherpa is an angel on this Earth, and the thought of his mortality makes me very sad. I only can imagine how Jaime feels, Sherpa is like a son for him, his companion, his everything. Sherpa had had a wonderful life provided by his dad, a life full of adventure, love, great joy. May God bless Sherpie and his loving daddy. I'm praying for Sherpie, for God grants him more life. Amen.

Jamie, I think the best thing you could do for Sherpa, you’ve already done. You’ve given him a safe, loving home, and then moved him to that wonderful garden, oh that a house went with.😄

[@IcyDogMom]

Jamie we are all celebrating Sherpa’s life with you. We are here to bolster you, to lift your spirits when you are down. It is about adapting and continue to give Sherpa the best quality of life for however much time he has. You are a superstar parent!

[@AJJoers]

Toxic positivity helps no one. Including Sherpa. Be sad. Watching any one age, Regardless of what age they are is hard. It’s hard to watch your kids grow up. It’s hard to grow up. It’s hard to watch your parents become old. Transitions are hard. You don’t need to put on a happy face for us. Also it is more than okay to cry. I cried a lot when my late dog was aging probably as much as I did the day she died. You are not alone.

[@jeffcordes1744]

Age gets us all eventually. Show our beautiful boy all the love we'd like to give him.

[@swan85res]

We have a 15.75 yr pom and we see the changes all the time but she's doing good. If she eats all her food that we cook for her we praise her to bits. She is my first dog and I'm 72. I never knew I could love another being so much. Thank you for sharing your journey with Sherpa. Warms my heart.

[@desiree3488]

Sherpa is living his best life. I’m so glad you have each other for this adventure of life.

[@mgill2975]

Oh Jamie, I can feel your anxiousness and worry for your best friend. It's hard to face that our pets get older and not as lively as before. I pray for Sherpa's good health and may he have many good years left. Lots of love and hugs to you both.

[@SherpasDay]

Aw thankyou 😊

[@talapeanutbutter4250]

I have a 1990 Corvette that our girl Tala loved to be in. She’d jump into the passenger seat then hop in the back so she could lay down in the sun. Now that she’s gone, that car isn’t driven mush anymore. It’s a shame as was a fun car to drive.

[@COYBIG1967]

Age comes to us all but Jamie your doing everything you can to make it easier and happier for sherps . Honestly I could cry watching you with him sometimes . We are all here for you always . ❤

[@margritpiepes8242]

Sherpie is cute and cuddly and lovable even if his eye is droopy . Yes he is a older gentleman now but he has a Ton if Wisdom under his Fur and Paws . We all Love him to the end of the Universe

[@TheRickie41]

My sweet Mia is 14 and 1/2 now and we still watch you together, but she often snores softly on her cozy bed now. We can only give them all our love and cherish every day as a gift, dear Jamie. Much love from France.

[@patriciamuniz6192]

"the best of the best of the best"

[@SherpasDay]

Of the best 😊

[@Tavieme]

Hi Jamie and Sherpa, I’m sending you love all the way from California. It’s hard for me to watch Sherpa, but I am so happy that he’s in your hands Jamie. It’s only hard for me to watch Sherpa because Sherpa reminds me of my sweet boy Kodiak and his sister Dakota they were huskies and they were litter mates, so Sherpa just brings back those memories. I appreciate you loving him the way that you do Jamie and giving him the best life ever again sending love from California.

[@bevmankie2311]

Sherpie is doing well for his age, 13 is old for a large breed. He's still living his best life it's just very stressful when they get older. You don't know from one day to the next what is going to crop up. Sherpa forever ❤❤❤

[@cherylschram862]

Jamie. Yes he’s older but our teenager enjoys the life you’ve created with the new home and beautiful garden. He’s off leash all the time and LOVES IT. ❤❤ Treaties thrown in the garden Sleep where ever Lord Sherpa wants. A different pace for you, realize that’s hard to adapt but. Don’t be Sad . I think Sherpa is doing well. I think he’s happy to be home while you take a swim. Enjoy both worlds. Keep the short walks, day trips with the jeep and big red.. he likes doing that too. Get a tread mill for the summer house for you

[@suzieness47]

Aww he’s got that old dog look. Reminds me of my old fellow who passed on years ago. Hugs to you Jamie. These years maybe hard but treasure the time you have with him. He’s a treasure. I miss my old boi so much.

[@AngelaMcmullen-h7d]

I have loved looking at different Sherpa videos. He really is a beautiful boy. Never to be forgotten. ❤ 😢

[@cassiepittman1489]

Keep up with the short walks..I think it is important to keep moving 🙏 hope his eye starts looking better 🤩 I enjoy watching Sherpy having fun and you are doing a phenomenal job taking care of him🥹much love from the middle of America ✌️❤️🐺

[@gracedenton3737]

I have a senior German shepherd and I have to admit it’s hard he loves carrots,celery,cabbage, I worry every day, but we keep going xx

[@janettemccubbin8246]

Aw, lovely Sherpa, he has the best, most caring dad any pup could dream of. It’s like he’s retired now and wants to enjoy his garden while his dad gets him anything he wants, bless him. 🐾🐾🐾💜💙❤️

[@zzp69]

Jamie, no need for apology. We all get BUSY & have life hiccups. Just keep working on finding personal balance. Keep loving Sherpa❤. And Jamie thanks for taking us on your DIVE❣️

[@robinblankenship117]

Sherpa has the best life with you Jamie. He loves you beyond and above all.❤

[@heathermurray9939]

Sherpa's white markings are coming out more with him shedding his winter coat

[@SherpasDay]

He needs a good brush soon 😊

[@NealB123]

Getting old is not for the faint of heart. Stay strong, Sherps!

[@janp2800]

Been there so many times, it never gets easier. Yes, he's getting older & slowing down, but he still wants his treats & meals, which is a good sign. Yes, he's slower & doesn't go as far for his walks, but the important thing is he still WANTS to go. He still comes in to wake you up. It's hard on us because our heads know what is coming but our hearts refuse to believe it. Never, ever apologize, Jamie. We are always here for you & Sherpa ❤

[@TheBaumcm]

So well put. Heads know but hearts are hopeful.

[@donnapenny7299]

Jamie you are the best dad ever, Sherpa is blessed to have you. Sherpa is a beautiful boy. ❤❤

[@PeggyPiggott-ie1zm]

It's so difficult to watch a beloved pet age faster than we are. Thank you for sharing this journey with us; it's comforting.

[@janmitchell641]

Thanks for keeping us updated, Jamie. Change is enormously difficult for all of us, but in doggie terms, it’s that much more rapid, and is very difficult to accept because they were only a puppy, just yesterday, it seems. Don’t feel you always have to make it light hearted and fun for us, especially when your heart is breaking. It really is a grief kind of thing for the loss of that energetic ball of fluff he used to be. I hope you have some significant human support physically near you as you travel this journey with Sherpa. Take care.

[@robinsonguerra1297]

Congratulations on the 100,000 and, as long as Sherpa is with you, everything will be all right 🫶🏽♥️

[@SherpasDay]

Aw thankyou 😊

[@_Y.Not_]

I have only popped in on this channel every now and then and am surprised Sherpa has gotten old but in watching this video I don't find it depressing at all, I find it very inspiring, we all get old but the love and care he shows this dog I find heartwarming, what a gift you have given Sherpa, to see a dog so well-cared for in his old age is actually wonderful, old age/health issues happen, dealing with them in a loving way is hopeful, we all wish we could be this well cared for in our old age. I think your assessment is correct Sherpa is fine and dealing, you just need to get there as well.

[@mimig6932]

You did it!!

[@SherpasDay]

Haha you guys did it 😊
