Visiting His Friend Without Him & Having A Mini Breakdown

[@Jaime.P]

I’ve been watching you guys for 4 years and it’s odd to miss a dog I never met, but I think of you and Sherpa everyday. Sherpa had the best adventures with you, and he couldn’t have asked for a better dad. Hope you’re doing well Jamie ❤

[@PaulinePace-em6qj]

No it's not odd Just shows what a wonderful heart you have ❤❤

[@Mastadon-KD9GYI]

I also feel the same way, some of these videos are harder to watch than others, but I still miss Sherpa. I have two Huskies myself, so I know someday they won't be here and I do empathize with Jamie.

[@Debra.Justice]

You’re not alone. I’m across the pond and I’ve cried so much over Sherpa. He will forever be in millions of hearts.

[@thesandqueen2559]

One reason I enjoy watching your channels and Jodie's is that you both are good at not crossing the line into exploiting your animals or making the animals uncomfortable just for social media attention. The last thing a distressed/anxious animal needs is a camera in their face. I believe that was the best choice to not put an upset Key on camera. Hope you are keeping busy and finding joy where you can.🩷💚🤍

This. I think the respect that you both have for each other and for Key is lovely. ❤

I think no matter what they show i'm gonna get emotional when I see Key dogs are so intelligent and sensitive beings but I said I think Key has already been visited nightly by his buddy Sherpa so why does the thought of this make me so sad ?

[@Diabola_Innocens]

I agree, but this takes time. Now is not the right time for it yet. A puppy is not supposed to be a band-aid. When the time comes as he's ready for a new furry friend, everyone of his subscribers will be excited to see the first video of them being introduced (IF he decides to do so). But first he needs to face his pain alone and without distraction, otherwise grief can't happen properly. Grief is a process that's necessary to get over the pain.

[@giclat1098]

Once Sherpie gets his head wrapped around what has happened he may work on guiding Jamie to a new friend that isn't a replacement but an addition to the family. It might even be a cat!🙀👀😁

[@chumdog90]

I'm so sorry for your sadness and your loss of Sherpa. I know exactly how you feel. Many times the loss of a pet can be worse than losing a human loved one. That's because they love us completely and unconditionally. They don't care what we look like, what kind of mood we're in, how much money we have, or the house we live in. They love us just the way we are and that love never falters. Blessings, peace & comfort to you.

The same thing happened to me in the last year.

[@justseekingtruth3998]

Sometimes it takes a long time. I was raised from 6 months with dogs. I'm 63 and have never been without a pet. 4 yrs ago I lost my once in a lifetime everything dog. I can still easily tear up just thinking about her. I lost another very very precious dog 3 months ago and it's still pretty raw . I have good days a d then grief will catch me off guard and bite me in the butt ! It's just the way of grief. You can't suffer it all at once, it would kill you. And the deeper the love for your loved one, the harder it will be and the longer it will take. So just know Jamie that we know how it can be and never be ashamed of crying or breaking down. It just means you love him terribly, and miss him terribly. And that's okay. He was your partner for a long time. It should hurt a lot for a good while. Hugs ❤❤

[@bakaichigo]

I'm so proud that y'all stood up for Key's privacy... SO many animal-centered content creators wouldn't have batted an eye at recording the whole thing, believing that it was right and never questioning how upsetting it might be to Key OR the audience to see that sort of content. At the end of the day, ALL of you are thinking and feeling beings who are mourning a great loss - some things, indeed, should remain off camera so that they can be allowed to be expressed and acknowledged and worked through without the background noise of content creation to contend with. Key probably has no idea one way or the other, but if he DID know and had the ability to respond, I'm sure he'd say 'thank you'. The first time you do anything that was shared, after the loss, is always going to be hard. I've only walked the path I used to daily walk with my old boy maybe 3 or 4 times since he passed in May 2023, for example. It can be hard, even years later, but you keep trying and working at it.

[@mirih5368]

You absolutely made the right call, Jamie. You and Jodie both. Filming this visit...it would be like explaining to a child what death is & filming that. It's...gross, in a way, almost exploitative. That's a deeply serious & confusing & hurtful moment for everyone & it doesn't need to be shared. Animals like dogs do know what death is, of course. But without being able to explain it to them in a way they can understand or to experience it first hand, like seeing a body, it's difficult to make them understand WHY their friend is gone in a more abstract sense. Keeping to the routine of going to the field was good, because it gives that sense of normalcy to a very confusing & upsetting situation for everyone. I won't try & tell you it gets better, because it doesn't really. Grief never grows smaller, we grow bigger around it. It'll always be there, but time & experience creates a layer of distance around it. I hope you're as well as you can be, & know that youre not alone in your grief, though it is terribly lonely. There are 1000s of people here who miss him too, though we didn't know him like you. We remember him, & you, & even if it feels like the world doesn't understand what it lost, we do.

Hugs Jamie 😢 ❤️. I feel so bad for you and Key, Jodie and Nan. All the firsts will be tough. Birthdays, holidays etc. But you kinda have to go through these tough bits to heal. It's not that grief goes away, you just become better at managing it. It might take Key a couple of visits, maybe more. Just talk honestly to him whenever you're there. He knew Sherpy was ill before, needs time to make the connection. He'll be ok in time, Sherpy will help 🐾🐾🐾🐾. He's with you, and we are too. Stay strong 💪.

Take care Jamie. We all miss your boy 💜💜💜💜

No, it doesn't get easier, you just become accustomed to how hard it is. But you are doing things right. And whatever you need, it's yours. Sherpa will see to that.

I received the lovely sleeping sherpa plushie this morning and gave it a hug with tears in my eyes . Take care, Jamie, Sherpa certainly had a huge impact in many people's lives. ❤😢

Sweet Sherpa has left an impression on all of our hearts❤️ I’m not ready to read his books to my granddaughter for a lil while. I tried…I had to go to bathroom and cry. I know Sherps is running and playing now, no pain or sickness, but of course, we miss his fluffy sweet face and our deepest sympathies go out to you🕊️ So very sorry for such a sad day with Key😓💔❤️‍🩹🕊️🙏

You are going to find your way. People watch you for you, too. I’m still watching!

I bet visiting Keyush and Jody and the Biscuit lady was a hard one. But you made it Jamie!! Sherpa is proud of you as all of us are. Sending you love always my friend! Thank you for continuing this journey with us💙.

I'm a newbie for the most part, only two years perhaps two and a half years of watching but I've cried so many tears over Sherpa's passing. Hard to believe how much I am missing a dog I never actually met. He was one of a kind. And Jamie, take care of yourself. We all know that Sherpa is keeping an eye on you from heaven.

Jamie you and Sherpa are loved by us all and it is wonderful that the go fund me page is doing so well. Take care😊❤

[@hellagood67]

❤❤❤❤ I could only imagine how difficult that first visit to K’eyush would have been, without yours and his best buddy. I hope he was “okay” after a while. As for the go fund me, you owe us nothing Jamie. Thank you for letting us into your lives and giving us wonderful memories of a beautiful boy we’ve never met (except those lucky enough to have had that privilege) ❤❤❤❤

Jamie you did the right thing not filming the visit that was a personal visit you did it respectfully❤
