When life doesn’t go as planned…

[@kriskabin]

Well, here I am, hunkered down in my motor lodge with my pup, hiding from the rain while watching Amanda & Frank doing the same.! 👍 Thanks for showing a real vanlifer meal. Most of us don't spend an hour prepping meals, not the way a lot of ytubers lead ppl to believe.

[@catzcradle]

I agree easy meals are the best while living van life 👍🏻

[@MyNest20]

Yes! And, we don’t waste; so, eat the same thing or variations of it to “use it up”

[@CatBalou38]

Frank's ears popped up when you said treat lolol. 😂 Don't ever stop playing, don't ever act your age! Your brain keeps you young! I'm 73 and I don't look it or feel it. I make time to play almost every day. That's the secret. ❤😊

[@coralieofjumpwithnofear]

I actually stopped the video to show my two kids when Frank’s ears popped up because it was so cute. 🥰

[@terristenacious2279]

This is a perfect example of why I watch you because you make everything fun and you bring happiest moods I love. Frank add a dog with such a wonderful personality. I'm praying that this operation helps fulfill you and Frank's ability to do more things together. I started a channel a couple years ago and lost my enthusiasm and drive but you inspire me and I'm trying to figure what I want to do with it. Keep on being you and frank himself because you make me happy.

[@Chiamex]

It's so wonderful to see Frank playing with his squirrel toy and licking the peanut butter jar. I'm hoping his healing continues in a positive manner. Gosh, you take such very good care of him!

[@deborahg4599]

I lost my first drone at my son’s house in the trees! Bummer, I was so mad at myself. Frank looks very good! Amanda you’re very good at photography, one of my favorite things to do! Your photography and filming is all really good!

[@1lottiedottie]

That was fun! It’s so good to see how Frank is getting around so good. You definitely did the right thing for him. I can’t wait to see him take his first swim once he is all healed! You have given him a better quality of life and it will be good for you too. It warms my heart every time I see you both.🥰

[@tinadoughty925]

I'm glad Frank is doing so well.

[@danetteschmidt5381]

I’ll be 59 soon and I still play! Joy is definitely the secret to life. I love how Frank’s ears popped up when he heard treats and toy !

[@dfros1957]

Wow, I would love to walk threw that forest. It is magical. Its nice to see a Frank up and walking around. Thank you for sharing Amanda.

[@LaoSoftware]

Me too. I love nature. I love the quietness. The solitude to recharge your battery.

[@outdoorhappybrenda2573]

What a beautiful place.

[@marilynhoward4561]

When I was a child, my mom used to let me and my siblings build tents in the living room on a rainy day. Frank is so precious 😊❤

[@nadine8724]

Look at Frank go! So awesome to see!

[@GaiaCarney]

😁 Frankie’s a savage, de-stuffing his toys! That squirrel didn’t stand a chance 🐿

[@willymags123]

It is true laughter is medicine. Another great video of tranquility I love hearing the raindrops on the metal roof. I'm playful too I'm almost 50 and I will never grow up in that sense.❤

[@pencilpenny6234]

Frank is always handsome , now with that shave he is Quirky handsome! A unique type of beauty totally matched with his wonderful character! I am glad he is doing well and that he has you by his side. Thank you for an other great video Amanda!

[@stuartriley]

The sounds and sensations of the natural environment with your comments of your finding a commonality with peace made this video excellent.🎉❤

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Thank you Stuart 🫶🏻

[@edithsymmans3273]

Hello Sweetie, Huge Hello to you from Perth, Western Australia.... Australia is an amazing country to live in... It's wonderful to check in with your videos as I am always greeted with a pleasant surprise... Nothing more beautiful than a rainy day in the glorious forest in Canada, the views are amazingly spectacular.... The different kinds of plants and the colours of the rain forest always takes my breath away.... There is nothing more relaxing than a walk in the beautiful rain forest if you have the opportunity... I have lived in the tropics and remember well walking through the rain forest at times and just marveling at the majesty of the huge trees and colours... Happy that Frank is recovering so well now, he's super adorable... "Treats Mom" those ears just prick up when Mom speaks.... 💓💓

[@sarah_n_tank_girl]

Oh my gosh Frank is walking so much better! You are an AWESOME DOG MOM and it hurts to think anyone would question your decisions for Frank. Your souls are obviously interwoven together...true soulmates. I call my super effortless meals "girl dinner"...it's what I do when I want simple and I'm listening to my body what it wants-which is usually tortilla chips and salsa a.k.a. salt (yeah-just ordered LMNT too 👍) I could listen to the rain and watch those clouds swirling all day and that would a perfect use of time. This is a great time for play and rest...thank you for bringing us along.

[@susanh3342]

I'm so happy for both of you. There's nothing like feeling younger than you really are. Enjoy it. It goes faster than you think. Frank looks great.

[@tammyjantzen9004]

I love when it rains in the forest! The smells can't be beat! It's beautiful!

[@DirtyFeetHappyHeart]

love it. To many adults forget what its like to be a kid. More should enjoy. glad to see Frank enjoying. safe travels

[@patdavis8018]

What a beautiful, mystical forest to walk through ❤ I loved the whole video.

[@moochops2]

Heeeheee, Frank “plays” with his toys the same way Hugo does… stuffing everywhere!! Hugo goes in for the squeaker first because the noise sends him mad, so that gets killed first, then he gnaws a hole to shake and pull all the stuffing out and it’s pretty much game over in 5 minutes! So sad to see Drone way, way up in that tree 😢

[@lynnvalenti9532]

A fort!!! How cool is that!! Frank is walking much better. I'm glad to see he's on the mend.

[@ramblin.rennae]

So glad I found your channel. Love you sharing your life with Frank. My Bella is the love of my life but most ppl only see her as my dog and think I'm crazy when I talk to her and about her like she is human. Glad to see I'm not the only one who's life revolves around their pet. Bella is the best partner and longest relationship I've had in my life and I would do anything to make her life better, just like you do for Frank. Bless you both and safe travels.

[@juliapeters3495]

❤ nothing wrong with talking to your pet as if there a person there good listeners with out judgement. And great company when your living alone. I loved having my cat she would give unconditional love all the time. Long healthy life prayer's for your companion. 🙏

[@laurahampson301]

Thank you for the beautiful lake scenes when the rain stopped. You are amazing, Amanda. ❤️ to you and Frank.

[@nancyconway]

Looking forward to watching. Hope Frank is healing well and you are feeling a little better. Take care. 💜🐈‍⬛

[@jentommyontheroad8089]

Love the sound of the rain! Your joy is inspiring!

[@offairhead]

18:17 the way frank is looking at you now is funny! He’s like “okay mom, you’re being weird, what are you doing?!?” He’s so funny.

[@offairhead]

24:54 look at him cleaning up his crumbs, he’s such a good boy!!

[@GreenVegan816]

Frank's foot looks great! It's going to make a huge difference in his life.

[@carolbonnett7409]

Hi Amanda. :) So glad to hear & see that Frank is doing so well. 😁 it looks like you both had a lot of fun in your van camping in the blanket fort. 😊

[@lyric8006]

Frank looks comfortable & happy which is nice to see. I have a 10.5 year old rescue that will need abd surgery to remove a non-cancerous mass. He is also on Librela & carpofen. I’m nervous about this surgery in an older dog. It is heartening to see Frank doing so well.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@Mariteach777]

How sweet Frank is. I am so glad he is doing better. May he keep healing until he completely heals.😁😁😁

[@qaosqitty8098]

Omg that forest is amazing! I hope Frank is healing well.

[@BarbaraGrau-k2l]

Amanda, you are the best dog mom. Frank is fortunate to have you in his life.

[@talliecat73]

Loved seeing Frank, his expressions were so adorable.

[@avaloneamyst]

Frank is such a cutie! I love how you take such good care of him.

[@janinedevilliers510]

So important for you to look after yourself Amanda. Walking, being in nature, taking photos, and resting. Pitty about the drone, hope you can get a replacement. Frank is the sweetest, most adorable fur baby ever. You look after him so well, he loves you so much. I loved seeing him enjoy his treat and demolishing his toy. 😂 He is doing well with his healing foot, I just want to hug him because he is such a good boy. Give Frank lots of hugs. Glad you made a cozy tent to watch movies in. You are a hoot thinking of making an indoor tent. 😂 Stay youthful always. Sending you and Frank lots of l❤ve from Germany. 🤗👋🦮💕

[@amandamccoy1165]

Wow the Lake was beautiful with the clouds. So glad to see Frank doing so good. Prayers for his recovery as he gets better. Love seeing him playing and enjoying his treats.

[@awanderingdream2093]

YAY! Frank’s foot and leg look so good! His gait has improved tremendously! And the lake footage - absolutely surreal, magical and I am fairly certain I heard faeries cheering you on!!

[@mysticalsouls]

Frank is walking better already bless him

[@SpunkeyMonkeys]

Good movie picks. Lol, when u said a peanut butter jar that needs licking, I couldn’t picture how that would work. Then Frankie shows us his long-ass tongue cleaning out the jar. Nice one Frankie👍👍 Looks like he’s healing up well enough. And enjoying all the treats, love and attention you’re giving him. Wishing u both a safe and healthy journey🌟🌟

[@rajanikumari3672]

Awesome scenery. Glad Frank is healing & moving well. He's looking great.

When you mention treats and toys Fran k responds well with his ears ,,I love it

[@Vickyplaits]

What a beautiful forest. I loved the swirling clouds - nature is wonderful. So atmospheric. Frank is amazing. He's a brave boy ❤ Our rescue has a complex combination of health issues, so know the ongoing worries and costs involved. It's all worth it when you see them playing and so obviously enjoying life. Take care.

[@jaymore1178]

Frank looks like he's walking much much better well done frank

[@tidelinetoalpine]

He’s adjusting really well to his new leg.

Good evening Amanda & double ear rubs Frank ! Frank is doing so good & you both looked so happy ! He really loved his new toy ! Glad to see you smiling & enjoying the little girl in yourself ! Beautiful place & videography ! Stay safe, warm & keep smiling !

Was good to see Frank walk. Thank you for update on Frank's recovery. Like the bowl you ate your soup out of . Blessings to you both. P.S. Tent was a great idea.😊

Thank goodness Frank is healing well.

[@sorted.1235]

Bummer to not catch the wave while you were there. It’s so awesome to watch the kayakers on it. Next time!

[@tidelinetoalpine]

Next time I’ll actually plan, it would be sweet to see the kayakers in action.

Fabulous Fort!!! Loads of love for Frank. He's a lucky guy.

Hi Amanda! Beautiful walk lovely scenery. Glad Frank is on the mend. Have a wonderful day.

[@nancyknowles305]

I had to laugh at the way Frank's ears pricked up when you said the words "treat" and "new toy"! So glad he is on the mend. You had a lot of lovely photos, too. Sorry about the drone, but you are not the first to have something like that happen, and as you say, it can be replaced. My best to you and Frank!

It is lovely to see you both having such a good time together! Safe roads ahead, may the stars always shed their light on you 💜

Beautiful magical rain forest and misty lake! Envy your hike! Love seeing you two in god spirits ❤️ Also, dearest Amanda, 40’s were my best years ever. Trust me, you are for a treat - your body and soul, like Yin Yang, finally come into balance giving you this amazing feeling of completion, self-sufficiency and confidence. Take care!

Hi Amanda&Frank:) I’m sure I saw you on the hwy the other day near Davis Bay-driving with a big smile on your face 😊. You ended up camped exactly where I would have recommended~beautiful spot.If you end up going back I would love to drop my kayak and gear off with you so you could enjoy being on the lake. There is also a beautiful view of Ruby lake just past where you were camped,10min walk after the clear cut-hope you found it…(2 benches made out of snow boards) Really glad to hear Frank is doing well-such a good fur mama you are💗🐾Let me know if you are back in the area and would like to borrow the kayak:)Happy trails to you and Frank~better days to come Frank!🐾🐾🫶

[@tidelinetoalpine]

That was most likely me 👋🏼 I would love to paddle that lake but I do have a SUP so I hope to get back for that while it’s quiet out there and I will take a wander for the bench. Didn’t get out hiking from camp this trip. Nice place to call home!

[@lorrettaosbourne8680]

The reflections on this the lake are so beautiful!! So glad Frank is healing! His surgical foot makes him taller again. He’s such a good boy!! Many thanks! 🐾🐾💚💜

[@jenniferk3286]

It's a wonderful and necessary thing to stay connected to your inner child and allow that sense of play, fun, and joy. It keeps us young, helps maintain mental flexibility, and promotes emotional well-being. That's my 2 cents as a mental health professional 🙂

[@bluewillow6182]

[@katek1017]

Hi Amanda and Frank. You did a good job reminding me of building blanket forts for my two boys and I to hang out in many years ago when they were small. Great to see that Frank is on the mend. He seems to be walking so much better already. I have also been to Skookumchuk. It is beautiful, and without plannning, my son and I got to watch a kayaker paddle that huge wave right beside two massive bull sealions. It was incredible. Those sealions were in the wave surfing, and made that kayaker look so small. Thrilling to say the least. I will never forget that. One of the kayakers there got caught under the wave and ended up travelling, underwater, quite a distance down the passage. The group of other kayakers, immediatly went to the rescue. Pretty tense there for about 15 minutes. Hope the rest of your Sunshine trip has been good too.

[@DonnasRoadTrips]

Glad Frank is healing. Take care of you too.

I know what you mean by not feeling your age. I just turned 73, and I am fortunate to have good health and mobility, and the same fascination with life that i have always had. One thing it has taught me is that the most important possession we have is NOT wealth or success, but is our health and a playful attitude. I LOVED this video!

My dear, I'm 79 and i still feel about 40. Except those achy joint days! Yes playing with your furry friend is absolutely necessary. My fur baby is now 12, almost all deaf, and has cataracts. So her life has changed too, but we both try to act young and have fun. I still talk to her like she can hear me and i think she gets my vibes.
