Big lump in my throat watching this one Jamie. Your gentle acceptance of Sherpa’s aging process and your tender care and attention to best meeting his needs is so admirable.

[@lindakaymills8746]

It was and is quite obvious to you, Jamie and me why he bought the treadmill; however, little people like to get on social media and try and belittle someone else to make themselves feel bigger. It has become increasingly difficult for me to read the comments anymore because I take the insults to my dear friends personally, and it brings me down.😢 P.S. If I were a moderator for Sherpa’s channel, I would delete the negative comments and block the offenders. If enough YT creators deleted and blocked trolls, the message would be heard and might help for awhile, at least.
