[@rodhampton56]

I feel terrible and sad for Maria. Her love, compassion do everything in her power for her beloved Blue speaks volumes of her character. I think she's most likely at home in Michigan. And it may be quite some time before we see her with any new content and I can understand that Whole heartedly. Maria is a very special young lady, and everyone keep her in Your thoughts and Prayers.❤

I could not stop crying when I saw the video, I have watched your video since he was a young pup. May your heart be filled with sweet memories and good times, I don't know if you are still traveling but if not I understand.

Oh my god - I am crying because I have fallen in love with Blue over the videos and my heart is breaking for Maria It will be so hard to watch future videos and not see him He was such a special dog and so smart So loved his sweet nature and the way he loved life 😢😢😢

Glad to see you Maria. I know this video was from months ago. Prayers for you and Blue and Miss Little Thang. I feel with great sadness that Blue has his wings now and is watching over you from above. You were the best mom that Blue could ever have asked for. You gave Blue your “Bub” unconditional Love ❤️. Prayers that you are ok. 💙💙

Hi Maria, I’m so so so sorry you lost Blue. My heart goes out to you. I lost my little girl Frankie Jan 17 of 2021 and she as my “blue”. She traveled with me all over, and went thru the loss of my dad and my divorce among other things with me. At the time my friend recommended the book The Amazing Afterlife of Animals by Karen Anderson. The book brought me soooooo much peace! I know you will get a lot out of it. Karen is a world famous animal communicator, and she has had gift since she was a child. Blue is still with you, look for signs. Also how might I join the community? Again, sending you so much love 🩷🙏🏻

All Creatures Great & Small...fiction, but based on the actual life of a vet in the Yorkshire Dales back in the day. Amazing book and series. For anyone who loves dogs, it is a MUST...even if you aren't into fiction. You won't be disappointed...it will.mske you cry, make you laugh, it will warm your heart.

She is 14 and besides being my little buddy she is also a service dog and assists me with diabetes management. Trixie is also a therapy dog. What you have accomplished in your travels is amazing. I'm 71 and a bachelor. Wish I was able to travel more but have had type one diabetes 56 and a half years. Enjoy your youth as right now is a very special time in your life. Take care from Rick and Trixie.

The first time I watched this I was so happy to see all of you, the $100 experience and that huge steak on a shaky skillet and burner. Today I watched again and although I loved it all over again, it's terribly sad now that Blue is gone. I have watched a few newer ones with just you and Taz but the lack of his presence is so palpable. My guess is you are in Michigan with your supportive family. Your mom is just the best woman. It has been so easy to love all of you Maria. Continued prayers always.

I've been filled with anxiety since I haven't seen a notice of a video recently and wondered if Miss Thang has a name yet? How's Blue doing, and Maria? Haven't slept well since last week because I always treat myself to watching before bed and so rewatching some. Stay safe and stronger than strong Maria! You're such an inspiration. Oh yeah ... that cooking setup looks dangerous with many combustible items around. I love the built in pillow mat idea! I'm wondering if the dogs have a coat to wear while they sleep? Miss Thang is finally moving her tail with happiness but still seems sad or traumatized. It's good to see she's coming around. I love seeing her get all jacked over snow. 😂

Hi Ria, I am very new to your channel as of subscribe just a few days ago. I don’t know how to explain this, but you have captivated my heart with your dog. I had no clue literally felt like I was watching a movie someone’s life story , you are amazing and wonderful and so brave to do what you’re doing and your animals are just lovely and you have a lot of similarities that I have myself I have just never gone out on the road or done anything like this, but I’ve been watching Kenny of all trades. Another guy from California and his van with his cat and another lady that is actually from Washington forget her name but anyway, then you pop up and I’m just glued to your channel man I feel like I have no life but I do I just get really tired and KZbin is my favorite and I subscribed to your channel because you’re just inspiring funny and yes, I think you can cook 😊 It just takes practice like an art years ago I couldn’t cook, but now I have friends that tell me I should be a chef. I don’t think that, but anyway you have been to Washington and places I love, and I knew exactly where youwere. And You even went to the caves👍👍👍👍👍👍 Washington has some amazing beautiful places, but I’ve lived here all my life so you know I would love to get out there myself. I’ve been on a road trip once to Florida drove it was crazy but fun but lots of road trips but not as far as you have ever drove, is Florida Keys from Washington , that was pretty amazing Anyways, I am so sorry about the loss of your Blue I cried when I was watching that and anytime you teared up. I was starting to tear up. Oh my gosh emotional but I’m so glad you have a beautiful girl there. I forgot her name again. I’ve only been watching your show for a few days that’s how much you captivated me and I feel like I’ve known you all my life anyway, stay strong. Keep your faith. You’re awesome your new friend from Washington.

Book Recommendation: I highly recommend you read Travels with Charley: In Search of America. It's a true story written by John Steinbeck. In 1962 Steinbeck and his dog traveled America in a truck camper. He writes about his travels and meeting people as he was trying to re-discover the America he had been writing about in his books. I think you'll really enjoy it based on your travels. I believe his truck and camper are still in a museum somewhere. It's like $8 on Amazon. Get it - you wont be sorry!

@johncrutchfieldjr There have been no solid updates about whether he is still with us or not. Maria did a live stream for members about 3 weeks ago, where she explained that Blue was having these recurring, cyclical episodes (possible clotting in the brain) that had him in and out of the ER, but he seemed to be recovering. She mentioned she had 5 weeks of pre-recorded content that she would be putting out if Blue's health continued to decline (these are the videos she has been posting recently). Overall, she said Blue is her main priority, and she might take months off from filming content depending on Blue's health so she can focus on him. From what it sounds like, they have been through a lot ❤️‍🩹 and it looks like a week after she posted the member's live update is when she posted the IG video about Blue. My heart aches for them and I hope they are doing okay.
