Life Update

[@plot1895]

Tony you have a lovely compassionate disposition and because you talk about life’s ups and downs others will be comforted. You will be a super grandad.

[@cathysmiley6798]

Been through all of your moments over the last couple of years, you have strength you always have ❤

[@MandyHassell-zc3rf]

Oh Tony so sorry about your dog and your mom 😢. But congratulations about the baby how wonderful ❤ xxxxxxx

[@ruthadams2413]

So sorry about losing Douglas. When I lost my best "friend" the vet had a nice set up like your vet.

[@marionquinlan4757]

Congratulations on the great news ❤. So sorry about Douglas 😢. Hopefully your mam is doing OK. Glad you own news was great also Tony ❤

[@don5125]

It doesn’t rain it pours ❤️ Bless you mate 😇❤️

[@AlisVeggies]

Sorry to hear you've had a rough time. Good job there is the allotment. Being a Grandparent is one of life's joys and gives you something to look forward to.

[@dorindamiddleton5418]

These crazy times won’t last, as I’m sure you know. The garden is always a place of comfort for me. Losing a pet is as hard as losing a loved one. I’m sorry about your mom. Mine had a stroke too. She should have gone into a home, but didn’t have the money to. Here in the states you have to pay several thousand dollars a month. She passed away this last year. Anyway, I’m not trying to add to your burden, a baby is the biggest, best thing to lift your spirits. I have two and they are my world. We all need a grand baby or two to keep our spirits up. Congratulations!

[@fayethompson1697]

Aww, so sorry about Douglas . It's so heartbreaking when we have to say goodbye ❤

[@ErraticPerfectionist]

*HUGS* I'm sorry to hear about Douglas, and I hope your mum is recovering well ❤️ Congratulations to your daughter and to you and your wife on impending grandparent-hood! I know that I don't know you in person or vice versa, but I was listening to you pick chillies and tell give your life update while I was grating zucchini in the kitchen (store bought, as my zucchini plants aren't yet in the garden 😅), and it honestly felt like I was having a cup of tea with a friend. ❤ May the grand baby be the first of many blessings and much joy heading your way ❤️

[@johnmcguane8218]

Great news that your scan results were good. It's the waiting for news is the worst part .👍.

[@madeleineowen8284]

Aah Tony, poor Douglas, so sorry. Hope your Mum improves. Lovely news about the baby.❤

[@AnyKeyLady]

Great update Tony. All the best x

[@barrymorgan7215]

Sorry for your loss Tony ,glad you are fine ,but sad for your mum

[@jennyhayler7553]

❤️

[@louiselage7740]

You have had a month of sadness and joy...and you always face everything that life presents with such humility and grace ..I am also so sorry to hear of your Mum's illness. I hope she is doing better now....And in addition, I am so relieved that your CT came back clear, and that you are welcoming your first grandbaby! That is wonderful news...And with that said, I am so sorry for the loss of Douglas. That was so sudden and unexpected, and at his age that sort of hematoma/seroma trauma injury would likely not healed. You and Melanie did the kindest and most compassionate thing to put him down rather than have him go through all that suffering/pain....Take care of yourselves, and enjoy your chili harvest. Thank you for the update....xx

[@TheVeganicGardener]

So sorry to hear about Douglas 💜 my 8 year old jack chi died last year.. we think she had a massive heart attack while out on a walk.. the time I had got her home she had died in my arms... it was devastating and I still miss her terribly ..and I have had many rescue dogs over the years who have lived to old age but it was made worse by the fact she was so young so I feel your pain x and sorry to hear about your mum and wishing her healing thoughts 🙏💜🙏 xx

[@christinebrooks6364]

Hi Tony, congratulations on getting the all clear. I am so sorry about Douglas, its so hard to lose a family pet 😢 oh Tony, your poor Mum, hope she keeps as well as sge can be ❤ how wonderful, a grandchildren, wonderful news! Thanks,for sharing and take care ❤

[@susanelwood5794]

Always heartbreaking to lose a pet. 😢😢😢

[@myrondrong6636]

Sorry for your loss of your dog I have dogs my self we had to put our German shepherd down I know how you feel I miss my German shepherd every day ❤from Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 be strong

[@A1allotment]

So sorry to learn about Douglas he was the one I looked out for in the videos as he reminded me of one of my boys. Hope you Mum gets back to good health. My Dad is 89 and we do worry about them. Glad to hear you are doing well.

[@lynnpurfield9430]

Cobgratulation on grandad and grandmahood ❤

[@lynnegunns604]

Tony, what a rollercoaster of a video I’ve been sat here blubbering. Wondering what else is gonna come. Poor little Douglas, I can imagine how that must’ve felt for you with him being young. So good that you had those last few walks with him and his ball. Your Poor Mam, I hope things improve for her enough for her to still enjoy life and the new baby her great grandchild. And congratulations on the news of a addition to the family next year, how exciting. we are still waiting to become grandparents and like you have recently become proud grand dog sitters and I hope that grandchildren come along as quick as yours have. Look forward to seeing what you do with those Piri piri chilies I can already see that they are going to be hot because they keep catching you while you’re talking making you cough. I hope you washed your hands before you touched anything too. All the best, Tony keep your chin up enjoy the new season.

[@carolwhite6979]

Fly free, Douglas! Fl6 free sweet boy! ❤️🐾❤️🙏🏻🕯🙏🏻❤️🐾❤️🐕🌈🕊 Dear Tony. I am so very very sorry to hear about your Douglas. It rips your heart out when you lose a much loved companion. We have lost too many of our fur kids. young and old. Strokes are hard on everyone. They affect the entire family and the cats... pups, who share their days. I understand the most important thing is early treatment post occurrence for best recovery and physio. No two ways about it, hard on everyone. Wishing you and yours all the very best to all the family and the new baby coming with the spring!

[@Jacqui-Pen]

Grandad, congratulations 😊 R.i.p Douglas. It's the hardest thing to say goodbye, even when it's the right thing to do. Hopefully, Ellies baby news will give your mam lots to focus on during her rehabilitation

[@gloriadavidson8599]

Highs and lows Tony but ended with the HIGH You and Mel will be great Grandparents ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jonathangreenwood793]

Bless you and your family. Quite a rollercoaster couple of years. I can empathise with what you are going through. I hope your Mum does well and your daughter is in fine health. You will be an amazing grandad, just as you are an amazing dad and son. Great to hear you are doing well in yourself. Take care.

[@don5125]

Love dogs ❤❤❤❤❤😢

[@susiespearing6165]

So sorry Tony ,poor Douglas 😔Hope your Mum is coping , I know from experience how hard it is to deal with the confusion .Lovely news with the baby 🙂

[@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead]

Hi Tony! Watching from Newfoundland, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤

[@wjb2]

cry at the drop of a hat, man after my own heart

[@zuzauramek9850]

Tony, Douglas were very, very hurt. Animals can hide pain before their owner. Even if you take him those steroids you have to give them once a week. I know it's empty words. He was young, yes but he was very sick and in pain. You did a good thing for him. Believe me, you do want to look at your friend, or family who is hurting and you can do nothing, only wait all night when it is time to go to the vet.

[@jeanhelliwell8160]

Good video. So sorry about your problems, but something good to look forward to. X

[@nicolabradley5761]

Wow what a lot you have had to deal with, so many ups and downs. Thanks for sharing the reality of life and that its not all a bed of roses. I hope your mum continues to gets better and makes a full recovery and you yourself continue to stay healthy and well. Also well done with the chilli harvest, you must be doing something right as mine were a dismal fail!!!

[@douglasgosney9172]

Hi Tony I know exactly where you coming from it’s hard so hard just remember the good times ❤

[@Olafjabberwocky]

getting old is a bast@rd at times. we've got another pup last year and he's like a fecking whirlwind bless him (a sprocker spaniel - worst of both breeds🤣). I've always said life's too short to be serious. Chin up big fellow you'll have more than enough on you're hand full now with a new under gardener

[@PamsMountainGarden]

Sorry about Douglas and your mother! Seems sometimes you get knocked down and before you can pick yourself up you get slammed again. But happy news on the grandchild! I guess that’s just how life is.

[@kerryhood3795]

Sorry to hear about Douglas, hope your mum continues to improve and congratulations on the news that you’re going to be a grandad… we became grandparents aka Oma & Gramps nearly a year ago (1st birthday is this month) and I can say it is the best thing ever. Am so glad your health is good too … what a rollercoaster of a month for you xx

[@CardsbyMaaike]

oh I'm so sorry for all these hardships. My mom had a stroke too and I can't remember exactly, but this month it's been 8 years her heart stopped working when she dozed off in frot of her tv. Comgrrats on the happier news

[@jaynekennedy8469]

What a couple of months Tony, take care of yourself too! Your celeriac looks good. I tried to grow celeriac this year but all the seedlings died. I only ended up with one celery too 🙁

[@MichaelCurrer]

Over the moon to see you are ok and going to be a grandparent hope your mother is going to be ok so sad to hear about your dog I have had dogs all my life so I no how hard it can be ups and downs of life looking forward to your next video

[@colettephilcox231]

My condolences Tony, every time we loose a friend they always take a piece of you as well. I'm sitting here crying listening to you tell the story, I know how hard it is as we had to put down our pit bull about 7 yrs ago and I still hurt from that as well. Hugs

[@sarahnortheastenglanduk6276]

What a whirlwind of emotions you have all been through,Tony! Pleased you are getting through it. ❤ Great news about your new grandchild and your scan update❤ May the positive times commence ! 🙏 Take care, Grannie & Grandad ❣️ 🌱🤓

[@markshaw5835]

Wow so to hear about dougles, nothing worse then losing a beloved doggy. Hope your mum get better soon, U had a tough month, lovely good news about the baby 🍼. Little feet soon be running round ya house again

[@mrich1416]

The allotment and garden are so important to help cope with tough times in my opinion. Sorry to hear your bad news, but delighted that you are going to be grandparents! Me and my wife are dropping very unsubtle hints to our daughter and her bloke to start a family! Take care.

[@danilluzin]

On a lighthearted note I was wondering why you were leaving so many ripe peppers on the branches, and when you said you were red/green colorblind i freaking lost it :D

[@jimginn7163]

Its so heart breaking when you have to make that decision, i had to do that with my Ridgeback a few years ago, he knew it was his time to go and got in the car and went to sleep. Vet was great with him and as you say, lovely quiet room. 😢

[@phirst55]

I've just had my CT scan, on Saturday, for lung cancer,, I know exactly what the feeling is like waiting for the results

[@microheavy21]
