[@carrieross8987]

[@joannagrimmer]

The cherry trees look so pretty, Dan, with their delicate clouds of blooms! With the bright sunshine and birdsong (larks?) and your proud rooster! Indeed, Sping will lift your spirits after Mason's suffering abd and sad passing reawakened your sorrow. Thank you for being such a noble soul, and for sharing your intentions and plans for self-sufficiency. Your sincerity has won you great respect in this community. ❤😊

[@sueprice4082]

Dan, I recently lost my husband and you are my therapy. You have a beautiful life in a fabulous place ahead of you and you are working hard to honour the lovely Sindy. So sorry to hear about Mason, my cat is 16 years & dreading her leaving ❤️

[@desireehuls8356]

So sorry to hear about my Mason. He’s now with Sindy and happy as ever. Rest forever, my little friend. 🙏🙏🙏🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛ P.S. Your videos are never boring Dan.

[@lindyloo12345]

I thank you for monitoring the comments and holding some back, but I'm really sorry that there are people who have nothing positive to say and that you have to deal with them.

[@angelaboschetto9106]

Dan I have noticed you are looking alot thinner . I hope you are eating properly. Sindy did say you are slim and she hated her belly and laughed that you can eat and not gain weight but she put weight on quickly. But if you are not eating properly or regular you vitamins will be low which will make you feel yourself. Sindy loved cooking and feeding you . The tomato sauce looked good and the turnip salad which you both ate alot. I think it was turnip ?. Dan I am so sorry Mason has gone to be with sindy in heaven . I am in tears. 😢

[@mrs.jillaroo6907]

Oh Dan, I am so sorry to hear about Mason's passing. He's gone to a place where he is happy and pain free. The spot that Sindy chose is so beautiful, and the flowers you placed on Mason's resting spot are truly lovely. It will be a beautiful spot to sit and take in the land. All your work and care is showing and it is all so lovely.

[@leeworley5160]

His heart like yours broke when Sindy died and he just could't recover cause he didn't have your strength and courage but he you and the other little ones have all our prayers and love. Weep and keep living. We need you!❤

[@Infinitepossibilitiesat56plus]

Sorry to hear about Mason . He is with Sindy now and I hope you can take comfort from that . Yes, I can imagine that going through that with Mason brought back very sad memories. The Spring is here and the universal wheel turns again and I hope the turn of the season brings more happiness to you !

[@ritawells6876]

Sorry about Mason. I agree you look thinner! Get your car and drive to the beach and listen to the waves! Positive vibes! Grief is a process…….you GOT this! Appreciate you keeping the comments positive!

[@ladyrickysummers777]

Sorry Dan he is in Mom's arms. You should make a wooden bench up there use what ever tree stump and carve out something of remembering your Loved one's.and put some sticks around Mason's grave because he loved them. Make a art looking bunch. Greetings from South Africa, Cape Town .🙏💕🌻

[@ildagalvao4040]

Dan I am very sorry for the loss of Mason! He is better now, free of pain and close to his “mommy”. You are doing amazing work at the homestead. Everything looks so beautiful! I miss the simple life I grew up with in Portugal, I was born in the Minho Provence and grew up in Porto, but emigrated to Canada after I got married. Watching your podcast brings me so much joy! Thank you for taking such good care and beautify my home Country. Sending you love and light and much encouragement from 🇨🇦❤️‍🩹💫🙏🏻

[@christines5430]

I really admire your determination to be resourceful and creative using reclaimed, repurposed and material straight from the land.

[@karlsutcliffe3399]

You never need to apologise for having a bad week, you have more than enough reason! Hugs and best wishes for better weeks coming! ❤

[@DebWh]

I'm so sorry that Mason has gone to sleep. We get attached to our pets. I'm sure you will do a wonderful job of making the rest area peaceful. You are doing well moving forward Dan. Grief is not a lineal process. I have NOT had a problem with my subscription. ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦

[@cherylhall8216]

So sore to hear about Mason’s passing. Run free over rainbow bridge sweet furbaby Mason no more pain 🙏🏻💔🌈sending hugs Dan 🫂

[@tinasmith7890]

I love it when the cherry trees are blooming. Sorry to hear about Mason. He was missing Sindy and he knew you would have the other animals to take care of you and keep you company

[@kindbunch]

I am absolutely confident that your channel will progress. All you need to do is to get a camera stand so that you can set up the camera to simply film yourself building stuff, planting your land, fixing up the house, etc. People love to see that because we all learn from that. You can even get 1-2 shorter videos in per week that way. All the best to you.

[@dinekezwanenburg5390]

Life can be realy tough at times,it can take a long time to bounch back and feel you even have the energy to realy live it again, until than it feels like surviving. Your loss is huge, you are in the survival mode now and do all you can you have the enery for. To me it feels like you realy do a great job with all the ups and downs that there are at this moment. Mason dying tiped you back in the drained feeling again. Like you said its a good thing the sun is out there to shine on you and smile at you and make you give a warm feeling, i wish you a great week without any hickups.

[@growinglife1344]

Sorry to hear Mason went for a longer sleep. A blessing to know him, his beautiful light he shared. May, 2024 forward bring you more joy, happiness, love and peace to carry-on. Those cherry trees are looking magical in their full blossom beauty. You did a lot this week, no apologies needed, include or allow time for personal emotional importance. We all recognize the need for personal time or should recognize it's importance. As this community supports you and each other in many ways. ❤ And helping a friend plant 1,350 castania? or chestnut trees in a day, Wow!

[@getlostwhenwondering393]

I am sorry about the added pain of losing Mason. Sometimes life is not fair. I am glad to hear you are staying busy, the warm weather and sunshine will help you be busy and raise your spirits. Being sad can get depressing, I hope you find ways to laugh and enjoy the day. Trust yourself

[@user-zp9hx3bs4f]

The renewal of life as a reminder of the beauty of life is just breathtakingly demonstrated by the blooming cherry trees. Thank you for sharing the beauty of the earth.❤

[@gillbowman8260]

So sorry Mason has passed. Rest assured he is now re connected with Sindy. You are in my thoughts and my prayers ❤

[@debbielavers9836]

Dan , I’m really glad you are keeping your channel positive! Your tile says it all and that what draws me to your channel. Keep it up and take care of yourself.

[@tobybyrddash2322]

I’m so sorry for all the pain Dan😘 Maybe include the blue/green frisbee he always carried around waiting for someone to throw it for him. I hope Gruff, Elroy, and the Stevies are doing well and keeping you covered in their love. 😘

[@kailand3056]

I’m very sorry for the loss of Mason. Working outside is the best “medicine” for you because it keeps your hands and mind busy.

[@sueengel1981]

I am so sorry about Mason. ❤Amen to not returning to an office!

[@busybeaver793]

Your rooster certainly was pushing your buttons. All that for some attention! I have read others' comments concerning the cherry trees and also Mason. Your subscribers do care about you. That is very evident by the comments they leave. Take care and have a great week.

[@deborahbasel184]

May Sindy's spirit be greating Mason's spirit in one big welcoming hug. ❤

[@user-rg5kw4dy8e]

So sorry to hear Mason passed away he is with Sindy and happy, it is great to see you going ahead with your plans and being so positive. Your place is looking really nice Sindy would be so proud of you,keep up with your positive attitude and look after yourself,I look forward to your videos each week Sharyn

[@larrymunden1753]

Reposting....first one didn't appear? Video is not boring! Refreshing to listen to your honesty. After this week, it's a wonder you accomplished grass trimming that large area. May the warmer temperatures and sunshine bring you peace.👍🤗🙏

[@user-rg5kw4dy8e]

What a beautiful place for Mason to lay in peace Slndy picked the best spot ❤

[@piaogilvie8463]

Run free, dear Mason 🌈 I'm so sorry for your loss, Dan.

[@lesleyhughes8857]

My heart goes out to you Dan. Mason was such a gorgeous boy, he chose to go to sleep at home with you, saving you having to make a difficult decision! Bless him🥰 Sindy chose such a beautiful spot for her little garden of remembrance & you have made a lovely start on it for Mason. I always love watching your videos. You should be so proud of yourself. No need to apologise for anything!! Grief needs time to process. Please allow yourself to experience all the emotions that constantly pop up throughout your days/weeks/months. Just go with it without reproach!! All the negativity you are experiencing is by people who have nothing better to do than try bring people down to their sad level. Don’t let them get you down!! I find your KZbin videos so inspirational, as do many others! I hope this coming week is a better one for you. See you next Sunday. Bless you🥰

[@debbiebishop6869]

Dan I'm so sorry about Mason, I knew that was gonna hurt, and you definitely didn't need that! Please don't apologize about the video, this community knows what your going through, and we want to help you through. Those tress are beautiful! 💜

[@christine3358]

There is something so rejuvenating when the trees start to blossom! I just love how you keep really ‘working’ the natural resources around your land. It’s so creative. And I’m so sorry about Mason, I can’t imagine how hard it’s been right now.

[@tmarie7463]

What a beautiful resting place for Mason. Sorry you have more sadness to deal with, but try to stay strong and positive. Mason and Sindy are now together again. ❤

[@deborahwhite2339]

I'm so sorry to hear about Mason. You have a heavy load of grief to carry. You are right to keep moving forward. You will gradually feel better. It will just take time. 🙂❤👍👍🇨🇦

[@user-lj4jn1fx2k]

You are being authentic and the world always needs authenticity....take care and keep perservering...life is difficult. Those birds singing in the background and the flowering of trees and the even the rooster making his voice known...is reminder to us all that life is beautiful all in the same time ... of the difficulty, pain, illness and grief. Hope you feel supported, held, and respected...

[@kimsparks7871]

Hi Dan, I am so sorry to hear about Mason. I just burst into tears! He was the sweetest guy. You have had so much loss so close together. Sending you strength and a hug. I hope you are well.

[@tamrarose2022]

Dan sorry for your loss of Mason. Our pets are such apart of family and it is sad when we lose one. I hope your channel continues to grow and thrive I will be here for each week post for sure. Keep moving forward with your camping site and work shed can’t wait to see your progress.

[@judymcgovern8454]

Aww Dan, I am so very sorry to hear about Mason. It’s heartbreaking when we lose our furbaby, they are a big part of the family. We lost our wee boy 6 mths ago and it’s very hard. Sadly you are still grieving so much for Sindy that losing Mason will have knocked you back a bit. Try and keep strong, you have been through so much. What a beautiful spot for Mason and for a reflection space for Sindy. The trees are looking really beautiful. Good for you Dan, you are right in sticking to your guns and living a credit free life. I and many more people enjoy your videos. ❤️

[@janehardy2746]

Sad news Dan. Love the idea of a garden and bench, in time im sure it will give you great pleasure. Stay strong you have achieved so much in a short time. Would never say your boring, just an honest guy who has had to deal with the cruelest of blows. Much love ❤

So sorry about Mason, his chosen spot is beautiful. Thanks for sharing Dan take care.

[@orangemuffin838]

So sorry about Mason... so much loss in your life. His grave is in a beautiful spot. A bench for contemplation would be lovely I think.

[@meaquindinho541]

Money isn't everything. The quality of life you choose is most important. A simple life is just that, simple. Buy what you need make what you can with what you have. It's not as easy as things take longer this way. So sorry about Mason, but like everyone else, l imagine he's chasing sticks Sindy is throwing. So much sadness in such a short time will definitely take its toll. So, please, try to relax eat food. Sleep and don't worry about the channel. Your videos make my week.❤ As usual good vibes and endless love.❤

[@beverleykelly3532]

Dan, there is a saying that into every life a little rain must fall. I hope the sun comes out again soon, keep going and things will get better

[@maryannedraper6959]

Very sorry for the loss of Mason. You’ve had too much loss. Take time for yourself when you need it.

[@louiseswart1315]

The cherry hill you dreamed of is taking shape nicely. When the iris have multiplied and the artichokes ure fully grown it would be no less than spectacular. I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Mason too now.

[@marlenegearon4709]

I'm so sorry about the loss of your beloved Mason. It's wonderful that you want to do Memory Garden for Sindy and Mason. Also, it's stunning to see your Cherry Hill. I'm not sure if you noticed but the side of your house looks like it has mold on it from being in the shade and if this is on your bedroom walls it might be causing some health issues. God bless you.

[@stomas5640]

Summer snow! ❄️ Love that

The blossom looks amazing and it is magical when the blossoms fall. Sorry you have lost your pal but perhaps sindy has got hers back . Take care lovely man 🤗

I hope Jean Luc didn't end up in the cooking pot! He certainly had a lot to say this week. I am very sorry to hear about Mason, his loss must be very sad for you but I would certainly like to believe that now he will be by Cindy's side. The cherry blossoms look lovely. With the Spring equinox and full moon I hope it brings happy change into your world. Nature is a beautiful source of healing. One moment at a time 🙏

I'm so sorry for Mason's passing. Another channel i subscribe to starting having issues almost 2 months ago with about 100 people a day being unsubscribed. She was in contact with youtube everyday for more than a week. They did nothing, didn't know how to explain it and mostly didn't seem to care.

Dan sorry for your loss of your dog mason, that’s sad 😢 love you sincerely Susan, that’s a lot, don’t ignore how you’re feeling !

[@cathybrewer8958]

Cherry Hill looks so nice in bloom. Looks like you need to find out how to preserve some for winter. Glad you got some planting started. Oh, I hate that about Mason, he was so precious. That is a beautiful place for his remains. So close you can visit him. I find visiting my parents and husband's site does make me feel better. Think your rooster is wanting individual attention from you. Take care and will see you next week.

[@Bluebird19-ll8su]

Oh, I am so sorry to hear about Mason. Brought a few tears to my eyes. But what a wonderful spot for him. I truly believe he is with Sindy up over on the other side. It's understandable that you're emotionally drained. Losing pets is so damn hard and that on top of everything else. You've been through a lot. You're not the only one having issues with KZbin; other KZbinrs I listen to also have the same issues. KZbin needs to get its act together! Oh, and JeanLuc! Lol. He sure has a lot to say!

[@glennathornhill8994]

This has been such a difficult year for you. My heart goes out to you with your loss this week. The memorial site for Sindy and Mason is beautiful.

[@thesmudge1353]

I have not been unsubscribed from any channel but have noticed that some of the channels I follow have been saying the same thing as you about people being unsubscribed randomly. I'm glad you have been helping a friend. I do feel that it must be lonely sometimes. It's very sad news about Mason but I thought you were rather expecting it, not that that makes it any easier of course, but it is a heavy weight to carry around. Maybe a little pup would lift your spirits when you are ready. The homestead looks good and it's lovely to see the sunshine.

[@Shibalvr]

Thanks!

Thank you so much ❤️

[@sitasubbarao4991]

I am sorry that you have had to say goodbye to Mason. He was suffering because of the heart failure. Your land looks beautiful and the cherry trees are wonderful to behold. While homesteading just keeping the land and animals safe and healthy is a continuous project. It is interesting for city dwellers like me to see the changing face of nature. I lol forward to your videos.

[@krisskross8985]

Your honesty is admirable Dan. Seasons of change bring us forward to change as well. Sweet Mason touched my heart and I am very sad however I knew he loved Sindy and I believe he wants to be with her. There are other platforms that you can look at if you are not happy. I think Rumble would be an option as well. I trust you will think things over and do what's best for you right now. I will continue to support your channel and look forward to your next chapter. Love and light to you!

[@lindabrooks8242]

Dan, the cherry trees are so gorgeous, and everything else will be springing to life all around you. I'm very sorry about Mason, but, the good news is that he is with Sindy. Maybe all the rebirth will help you feel better. I know it's tough, but things will get better. Love and hugs ❤
