We are sorry for the delay in videos. We’ve had a tough time as a family and needed to pull back, slow down some, cry some, and start again. Thank you so much for all the love you’ve shared with us ❤️
I agree. It’s like a diamond in the rough. Men like Josh are not easy to stumble upon. I never had it in my life either. I saw my dad once in my life. Im a widow now, but my son had a good father. It is beautiful. God bless your happy home.
Y’all- seeing the bush, flowers being planted has me, a combat veteran, balling my eyes out. Oh how our pets become so important to us. My dogs give 1000% of themselves. They exist solely to comfort us. I feel your pain.
As a rescue home for sick and elderly dogs I feel your pain. The sense of loss is sometimes overwhelming and it leaves a scar on your soul. We currently have 7 fur babies and like all the others, regardless of how long they share their lives with us we will treasure the priceless memories. Its hard to not shed tears of sadness when they leave. We have learned after so many losses to shed tears of joy for the time (always too short) they spent with us. They made a difference in our lives. All we can hope is we made their lives more comfortable in the end. Losing a freind of any type is never easy. Our hearts go out to you. Be strong, visit happy memories, laugh and cry. they are never far away as they live in your heart. Hold your chest and smile. They are there.
You gave your dog a great life. Mourning his absence is healthy…the tears are normal IMO. Shows that you are empathetic, caring human beings. May the force be with you…..always!
It is always so hard to lose a great friend. Each dog I have adopted holds a special place in my heart, they are all family. One in particular, a Bull Terrier/ American Staffordshire mix, adopted me. He was my shadow for almost 10 years...he has been gone now for 11 years...and I find myself sobbing as I write this. They are all special. Each of them has a particular personality... Your pain and anguish will seem torturous at times. But you will heal. Your lives were made better by the love you shared. I wish you healing and love. Joe.
The hard part about losing Chuckie is not that he's gone... it's that everywhere you go on your property you can still feel him there! He is such an integral part of your story...and always will be because love is stronger than death! Our hearts are sad alongside yours! Greetings from my Disneyland neighborhood here in Southern California.
Absolutely broke down in tears when I saw Erin crying. I think we all understand the sense of loss when a pet that we so very much cared for passes away. I am truly sorry for your loss, guys. I bid you all the peace you deserve.
I can feel how hard this was to film and edit for you, you captured the feeling of absence so beautifully. Sad, heart breaking but also so beautiful :(
Your video showed an image of the house from a distance that really showed the incredible contrast with the stained deck and stone wall that really caught my eye. I cant believe how awesome the house looks from the field. You guys need to capture that into a large framed picture to hang on a wall inside the house
I'm sorry for your loss of Chuck, he was a stand-up guy. A regular on vlog, always showing up to check up what you were doing. He will be missed by his fans...
Here is a beautiful epithaph to a Dog by Lord Byron : Near this Spot are deposited the Remains of one who possessed Beauty without Vanity, Strength without Insolence, Courage without Ferosity, and all the virtues of Man without his Vices. Rest In Peace Chuck
I’m really devastated about Chuck and when Erin started crying, I started sobbing. I hope the family is doing better. I know how it feels like to lose your doggie. Love you guys ❤️
It’s so hard when you lose an amazing animal. Sometimes they’re just closer than people. Chuck is looking over that beautiful green yard and loving you… and with all your projects. Don’t cry Erin.. cause now you makin me cry too… 🥹
You guys are alway amazing with your shows I have enjoyed watching you for years and my husband loved watching you before he passed away 23 months ago. We watched you together every show. You have made your place a beautiful safe place for your family and the happiness radiates from all of you. That you for sharing your lives with us. I am 74 now and my husband and I built a log home together about 36 years ago. We had our nine children the oldest 16 and 5 of them worked with us. It was beautiful. The memories are forever with me. Love you guys and may the Lord bless and keep you and your family.
So sorry for your loss. Losing a member of your family is always tough, take all the time you guys need. Family always comes first. We'll be here when you're ready.
I also know what it's like to lose a 15 year best friend. I still have tears. You all just do what you need to do, we understand. It is good to see you back though.❤
Very sorry about Chuck. You gave him a wonderful life. Your grass is coming in nicely and here's some advice. I admit that I'm not a landscaping professional but I have put in a lot of yards over the last 45 years and I recommend that this fall, like September, you over-seed it again. And maybe again next spring but use a spike aerator pulled behind a four-wheeler (so you poke some holes in the ground and yet not compact the soil with a heavy tractor or truck). You won't need to use a core aerator unless your soil gets very compacted over the years. And when you mow, do not cut too much off. Fescue grass likes to stay taller (keep it like 4" tall) than turf grasses. When you mow, don't cut more than 25-30% of the blade length off at one time because that tip of the grass blade is mostly water and not fibrous. If you cut too much of blade off, more of the blade will be fibrous and you'll build up thatch down at the grass base which will choke off the oxygen... unless you plan to rake up or somehow gather up your clippings. Another reason not to cut fescue too short is that more sun will reach the soil and encourage weed seeds to sprout. Taller (and thicker) grass will actually shade the soil and discourage weed seed from growing. I've learned all of this the hard way. Best of luck to your beautiful family!
I lost my little Bud this past winter. I miss her bark and wagging tail. The sorrow wiil go away and be replaced by great memories. I created a spot for her and got her a cute solar light to keep her company.. Keep moving forward.
It was always the highlight of the video when Chuck came to inspect the job's, I always looked forward to seeing him, it always made me smile, I miss him myself, can't imagine how you guys feel, he was part of your family. Rest in peace Chuck.
I knew that this was coming from the last video but it was just heart breaking to watch and read the faces on this wonderful family. Don't be concerned about the delay...we certainly understand. Your place is looking so beautiful and I am happy for your progress and the joy it brings you. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Just know we too are devastated at Chuck going on through. Such a lovely memory for all of us. Hugs from Laramie. Ps. 7 inches of new snow.. In his lovely memory.
Yes I jumped the gun on them a few weeks ago when the Wednesday video and the Sunday video didn't drop. So I sent a post on their last video asking if they were all right was worried something may have happened.but nope they were just a bit overwhelmed with school projects and work on properties so this time I said nope not dojng it LOL I just trusted they were busy and needed time to figure things out. I enjoy and envy their life they've built so much I guess I've really become attached and excited for the next video to pop up. They are quite the couple and family with all there critters being part of the family and show as well. Have a great day 🙏
RIP Chuck…Thanks to you all for sharing your lives with us and rest assured he lived a very fulfilled life there with all of you. Build inspections will never be the same!
The subdued tone of the video was a good tribute to your wonderful Chuck. You had work to do, documented it, but kept it low-key. Thanks for the great video. Love you guys!
I’ve been watching your channel for quite a while. I do believe you guys have managed to turn your channel into a TV Series. Good job y’all deserve all good things which come your way👍
I never met him other than seeing him on your videos, these furry things just have a way of engraining themselves in our lives and spirit. I truly believe my love of animals has made me a better man. Love always remains!
I have watched you guys since the beginning when you were all living in the RV and measuring out for the foundation of your house and I have followed you ever since you have such a beautiful family I have laughed I have cried and have always supported you guys but by far this was the hardest one to watch because Chucky was a legend and I absolutely loved him I know it's hard to fathom but he was the star of your channel and we all loved him and he will be dearly missed and I'm so sorry for you and the kids to have lost such a perfect little being I recently adopted a micro teacup Chihuahua and I could only imagine losing her so thank you guys for allowing us to share in this grief with you I cried like a baby when I heard it I'm so so sorry for you guys 💔🐈⬛
Chucky passed away in between their last video and this and if you go back there last video was them putting the grass in so it's been about a month maybe but they lost their precious little dog and they took a few weeks off so today was their first video since so if you go back if you just click on wild wonderful off grid and go back to their last video you'll see Chucky he was there he was supervising LOL he was a sweet little dog and we will all miss him
@@shainazion4073 that's what I thought and I sure hope so. Thank you - I finally saw the announcement today from 12 days ago? This isn't normal for my notifications. My entire day has been very somber for all of the family. 😔🤲💜
Chuck had a great life. The loss of a dog is so difficult. Thank you for honoring his memory with tears for that confirms the love you all had for him.
Thank you for letting us all be a part of your family life. I have watched every video of you all from the beginning, even when Erin had Ellie as a toddler on her back, whilst you were putting up the A Frames together. Chuck will be missed by all of us viewers as well as you guys. R.I.P. Chuck you will be able to check on Josh’s work whilst enjoying your bone’s in heaven. Thank you for all your hard work guys, and I look forward to seeing the rest of the house being built as you go forward. Thank you from Lee in Wales UK.
Can only imagine how much you are all missing Chuck he was a lovely dog with an awesome character he always made me laugh , RIP Chuck he had a wonderful life
I immediately got two dogs in college when I got my first apartment. My second ended up having double kidney failure after ten years this past November. She was a special dog like all of them and I had said that I didnt want to have to out her down as I couldnt bear that, and she passed on her own. My wife called and said she wasnt doing well and after I got home a d walked over to her and had a minute she took her last breath. I cried every day for a solid week if not more. She too is buried in our yard watching over the kids. It's a terrible pain but they truely are the best. I'm sorry for your loss and appreciate you sharing as I know how difficult it is. As I'm now fighting back tears. You guys are one of the best on this platform
Beautiful videography Erin, the purely genuine love that you have for each other is an inspiration to us all, Sleep well Chuck , tanks for the memories.. ❤️❤️
I’ve been watching your channel from the beginning, but this is the first time I’ve commented. We moved to a cabin in the woods a few years ago, and two years later lost our version of Chuck - our 15 year old chihuahua/corgi Simon. I know this pain so well and thank you for sharing Chuck with all of us. He will be so dearly missed and well remembered by many.
All our dogs that have passd over the years are buried with an almond tree in our-garden in the middle of France - our vet said this was a good way to remember them as you can talk to them as you wander round the garden - So you will never be without Chuckie a great character -
Spring seeding is hard. So expect some loss during the heat of the summer, so reseed will be necessary at the end of the summer. But still better than dirt.
So sorry to hear about your loss. The connections formed in this life are like nerves. The loss is like a wound. You can feel it physically in your chest. That means it was real.
Absolutely incredible! Your production, photography and nuance are perfect. The emotions you are able to capture is of the highest level. I have been following you from the beginning and I have the highest regard for your abilities. What an episode I just watched. Your future is bright. My sincere compliments.
I am literally fighting through the tears to post this, So very sorry for your loss, through your videos you made it very clear the love you all had for Chuck, and the wonderful life he had with you, and it’s with that love, he will forever is smiling down on you
Your tears are of love and sadness missing him, but his spirit has tears of joy for you and knowing that his spirit is always near to protect you guys...
Proud of Hayden too. Such a great example set by his parents that I'm not the least surprised. Beautiful walk being planned and built. RIP Chuck, you are loved and missed.
Once again Tip of the Hat to ole Chuck - thanks pal, these two would still be living in a van down by the river if it wasnt for your tutelage, Sweet dreams buddy
I can see the heartache in Josh's eyes when seeing how upset Erin is. Being the "rock" in those situations is very difficult. Often times having to suppress your own grief to ensure your family is ok. Well done being there for your family and giving them the support they need Josh.
Josh is a great husband & father, he'll take good care of his family. I know it's hard on Josh too, Praying for all of you, God bless you. Take time to grief and rest, we understand your loss.
I love who both of you are. Thank you for sharing this new view of you to us. You are both even more adorable for seeing you caring and vulnerable to your loss and missing Chuck. I love both of you for how you play and also support each other through all you do. Praying for you and all of yours throughout every remembrance of you too.
I love your channel and have been watching from the beginning. As a dog owner/lover, I have been fearing this day for you as I have watched Chuck getting up in years. Praying for comfort and peace during this time. You guys are great...such an inspiration. You have a great family and are doing a wonderful job raising you kids and growing your homestead. Thanks for letting us come along for the ride. Stay well.
Every time I watch your videos, I always look forward to two things : hearing Ellie laugh, because it’s filled with pure innocence and wonder…and seeing Chuck. Chuck represents all that a good dog means to a family. Loyalty, unconditional acceptance, devoted companionship, good humor, the occasional odd smell and the willingness to be hugged almost brutally by small children. I knew when I saw the title of this video that both of those things were unlikely. Children are resilient when they’re young and I loved hearing your baby girl giggling with the ducks. The world needs more of that joyful enthusiasm. God Bless her! I’ve never felt so strongly about someone else’s pet, much less one I never actually met. I have lost a few really great dogs, it’s hard. And I cannot stress ‘hard’ nearly enough. My heart goes out to your family. May you find peace in this time of sorrow. Bless you, Chuck! You made a family, and a lot of their admiring fans, very happy while it was your season to do so.
I’ve been with you all from the beginning, you’ve become a part of our lives as well. We feel your excitement, your achievements, your frustrations and your pain. We’ve watched the kids grow up, Josh’s beard forever changing, the incredible relationship between the two of you, and your incredible family/animals bond. Rest In Peace Chuck, we will miss you very much too!!
Good progress on the sidewalk. Grass has riz and everything looks good. It was nice that the Chuck shared his life with all the family. He took away knowing all your love.
It's always hard when a furry family member passes on. We lost our Roxy in February after 14 years and I still tear up thinking about her. Thanks for sharing (the good times AND the not-so-good times).
So sorry for your loss. Chuckie will also be missed by his TH-cam family but remember he’ll always be in your heart. We are grieving with you. RIP Chuckie! ❤️
Erin, hang in their, I lost my Lab two years ago, now I remember him fondly without the breakdown, but it took awhile. Josh truly loves you, he shows it in his eyes every time he looks at you. Your a good man Josh.
Chuck lived an amazing life and shared so many memories with you guys, I’m so very glad to have have watched those times. Losing a pet is very hard, praying that you guys have the strength! May Chuck always be in your heart ❤️ 🐾
Josh, Erin, and family. I was so sad to hear Chuckie passed. I cried with you. Love your family and all your critters. Thanks for sharing your home and life with us. We look forward to every video. Praying for peace, comfort, and joy. Above all, joy. God bless.
We are sorry for the delay in videos. We’ve had a tough time as a family and needed to pull back, slow down some, cry some, and start again. Thank you so much for all the love you’ve shared with us ❤️
Just move on, dont back.
What happened guys!!
Sorry about your loss and I'm glad to see you guys back running full steam ahead.
Love you guys, morn your loss I know the feeling with losing a fur baby. 😥
@@lastfirst9791 Chuch, the dog recently passed away.
It's so nice seeing a man who is such a good dad and husband. I didn't have that in my childhood or my marriage. It is so beautiful to see.
I agree. It’s like a diamond in the rough. Men like Josh are not easy to stumble upon. I never had it in my life either. I saw my dad once in my life. Im a widow now, but my son had a good father. It is beautiful. God bless your happy home.
believe it or not there are more good ones than bad ones

Y’all- seeing the bush, flowers being planted has me, a combat veteran, balling my eyes out. Oh how our pets become so important to us. My dogs give 1000% of themselves. They exist solely to comfort us. I feel your pain.
Similar life here. Love my dogs. I trust Pets Before people.
Same here. Had to stop the video because I could no longer see it.
Thank you for your service!
Our pets always give us unconditional love.

It's always hard to lose a member of the family which you'll dog was. I myself still cry when I think of all my dogs and cats.
It is always so hard to lose a great friend.
Each dog I have adopted holds a special place in my heart, they are all family. One in particular, a Bull Terrier/ American Staffordshire mix, adopted me.
He was my shadow for almost 10 years...he has been gone now for 11 years...and I find myself sobbing as I write this.
They are all special.
Each of them has a particular personality...
Your pain and anguish will seem torturous at times.
But you will heal. Your lives were made better by the love you shared.
I wish you healing and love.
Joe.
Thanks for sharing Chuck (and everything else) with us. Dog lovers understand how important they are to us.
I couldn't have said it better.
It’s the worst that they don’t last forever. ❤️🙏😢
Sweet Chucky - he lived a good life and was VERY loved. He'll watch over the place forever. Glad you kept him close by.
The title told us everything. Chuckie was a great dog who lived a fantastic life. Losing our pets is traumatic. Life does get better.
The hard part about losing Chuckie is not that he's gone... it's that everywhere you go on your property you can still feel him there! He is such an integral part of your story...and always will be because love is stronger than death! Our hearts are sad alongside yours! Greetings from my Disneyland neighborhood here in Southern California.
I live within 3 miles from Disneyland, love this Family and the journey they are on!
Absolutely broke down in tears when I saw Erin crying. I think we all understand the sense of loss when a pet that we so very much cared for passes away. I am truly sorry for your loss, guys. I bid you all the peace you deserve.
I can feel how hard this was to film and edit for you,

It’s always difficult to lose a loving pet. Chuck was a beautiful part of your family and will always be remembered with love!
What a great life Chuckie got to live!! Thank you for sharing him with us.
Same thougths.
Living with this family was a blessing to him.
I’m really devastated about Chuck and when Erin started crying, I started sobbing. I hope the family is doing better. I know how it feels like to lose your doggie. Love you guys ❤️
Dang, glad I read your comment first. I'll save this for later when I'm ready for a cry.
I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Yes so did I.... I didn't know about Chuckie yet either and when she started cry I lost it to... I didn't believe my ears at first .
I feel your pain as we lost one of our little dogs last year. I am 74 and shed many, many tears. MayThe Good Lord grant you peace.
It’s so hard when you lose an amazing animal. Sometimes they’re just closer than people. Chuck is looking over that beautiful green yard and loving you… and with all your projects. Don’t cry Erin.. cause now you makin me cry too… 🥹
We will all miss seeing Chuck stupervising you all! All dogs so loyal for so many years, it is hard to let them go when they ultimately leave us!
Crying again. Chuckie will truly be missed. He would have loved all the new grass. Sending hugs to you all. Thank you for sharing. 💓🐾💓
Always remember that you gave chuck a Wild Wonderful Off-Grid life.Never easy to loose the Ones we love.

I immediately got two dogs in college when I got my first apartment. My second ended up having double kidney failure after ten years this past November. She was a special dog like all of them and I had said that I didnt want to have to out her down as I couldnt bear that, and she passed on her own. My wife called and said she wasnt doing well and after I got home a d walked over to her and had a minute she took her last breath. I cried every day for a solid week if not more. She too is buried in our yard watching over the kids. It's a terrible pain but they truely are the best. I'm sorry for your loss and appreciate you sharing as I know how difficult it is. As I'm now fighting back tears. You guys are one of the best on this platform
Beautiful videography Erin, the purely genuine love that you have for each other is an inspiration to us all,
Sleep well Chuck , tanks for the memories.. ❤️❤️
I’ve been watching your channel from the beginning, but this is the first time I’ve commented. We moved to a cabin in the woods a few years ago, and two years later lost our version of Chuck - our 15 year old chihuahua/corgi Simon. I know this pain so well and thank you for sharing Chuck with all of us. He will be so dearly missed and well remembered by many.
All our dogs that have passd over the years are buried with an almond tree in our-garden in the middle of France - our vet said this was a good way to remember them as you can talk to them as you wander round the garden - So you will never be without Chuckie a great character -
Spring seeding is hard. So expect some loss during the heat of the summer, so reseed will be necessary at the end of the summer.
But still better than dirt.
💔 thanks for sharing Chuckie with us and allowing us to mourn a little with you. You know we’re family, right?
Hello Rhonda how are you doing
It's amazing how our little fuzzy friends attach to our hearts. You guys did well choosing a spot to remember him.
So sorry to hear about your loss. The connections formed in this life are like nerves. The loss is like a wound. You can feel it physically in your chest. That means it was real.
Absolutely incredible! Your production, photography and nuance are perfect. The emotions you are able to capture is of the highest level. I have been following you from the beginning and I have the highest regard for your abilities. What an episode I just watched. Your future is bright. My sincere compliments.
Chuck lived his best life with you! ❤️ I am so sorry for your loss!
I am literally fighting through the tears to post this, So very sorry for your loss, through your videos you made it very clear the love you all had for Chuck, and the wonderful life he had with you, and it’s with that love, he will forever is smiling down on you
RIP Chuck I feel for you all it is hard for every one when this happens stay strong and remember the great time with him sorry for your loss.
Your tears are of love and sadness missing him, but his spirit has tears of joy for you and knowing that his spirit is always near to protect you guys...
Proud of Hayden too. Such a great example set by his parents that I'm not the least surprised. Beautiful walk being planned and built. RIP Chuck, you are loved and missed.
hmm, I think it should be WIDER
they will regret that they didn't make it as wide as the staircase.
Once again Tip of the Hat to ole Chuck - thanks pal, these two would still be living in a van down by the river if it wasnt for your tutelage, Sweet dreams buddy
You made me cry ! Love you all ❤❤ Thank you !
Y'all need to take all the time y'all need. Take and make time for each other.
Thank you for sharing this, we can watch anybody build stuff, it is the Incredible family connection that sets you apart! So sorry for your loss.
Awww guys! So so sorry for your loss! Sending lots of love to u and your family ❤️
I can see the heartache in Josh's eyes when seeing how upset Erin is. Being the "rock" in those situations is very difficult. Often times having to suppress your own grief to ensure your family is ok. Well done being there for your family and giving them the support they need Josh.
Josh is an excellent husband and dad.
Josh is a great husband & father, he'll take good care of his family. I know it's hard on Josh too, Praying for all of you, God bless you. Take time to grief and rest, we understand your loss.
Take all the time you need to heal. It is hard to lose a family member,prayers to you and your family....
I love who both of you are. Thank you for sharing this new view of you to us. You are both even more adorable for seeing you caring and vulnerable to your loss and missing Chuck. I love both of you for how you play and also support each other through all you do. Praying for you and all of yours throughout every remembrance of you too.
Thank you for those quiet reflective moments to remember Chuck. His passing still hurts deeply. 😥
I love your channel and have been watching from the beginning. As a dog owner/lover, I have been fearing this day for you as I have watched Chuck getting up in years. Praying for comfort and peace during this time. You guys are great...such an inspiration. You have a great family and are doing a wonderful job raising you kids and growing your homestead. Thanks for letting us come along for the ride. Stay well.
Every time I watch your videos, I always look forward to two things : hearing Ellie laugh, because it’s filled with pure innocence and wonder…and seeing Chuck.
Chuck represents all that a good dog means to a family. Loyalty, unconditional acceptance, devoted companionship, good humor, the occasional odd smell and the willingness to be hugged almost brutally by small children.
I knew when I saw the title of this video that both of those things were unlikely. Children are resilient when they’re young and I loved hearing your baby girl giggling with the ducks. The world needs more of that joyful enthusiasm. God Bless her!
I’ve never felt so strongly about someone else’s pet, much less one I never actually met. I have lost a few really great dogs, it’s hard. And I cannot stress ‘hard’ nearly enough. My heart goes out to your family. May you find peace in this time of sorrow.
Bless you, Chuck! You made a family, and a lot of their admiring fans, very happy while it was your season to do so.
hearing ellie say Mommy!
Love the love in your family!!! Rest in peace, Chuck.
Sorry for you loss of Chuck. I know how hard it is when a family member goes away. It´s really tuff and it takes time to go on. Love to you all.
I’ve been with you all from the beginning, you’ve become a part of our lives as well. We feel your excitement, your achievements, your frustrations and your pain. We’ve watched the kids grow up, Josh’s beard forever changing, the incredible relationship between the two of you, and your incredible family/animals bond. Rest In Peace Chuck, we will miss you very much too!!
Take any amount of time you need, Chuckie was a valued family member and was well loved by all of you and your viewers. We will miss him too.
Good progress on the sidewalk. Grass has riz and everything looks good. It was nice that the Chuck shared his life with all the family. He took away knowing all your love.
I am really going to miss old Chuck too. I always anticipated a shot of him in your videos. A wonderful communion you had for him.
Crying with you, and for your family. Prayers for healing and may good memories make you smile when you think of him.
It's always hard when a furry family member passes on. We lost our Roxy in February after 14 years and I still tear up thinking about her. Thanks for sharing (the good times AND the not-so-good times).
He had to put my dog in a shelter and new it was a death sentence, that was 30 years ago and it still hurts a lot at times. What a great dog he was.
I’m so sorry for your loss, and our loss, I love that little boss. 🙏❤️🇺🇸
Sooo sorry to hear about Chuck! The loss of a fur baby is tuff! Take your time to grave and enjoy the memories you all had with him...
So sorry for your loss. Chuckie will also be missed by his TH-cam family but remember he’ll always be in your heart. We are grieving with you. RIP Chuckie! ❤️
He is always in our hearts, he was a great man
Erin, hang in their, I lost my Lab two years ago, now I remember him fondly without the breakdown, but it took awhile. Josh truly loves you, he shows it in his eyes every time he looks at you. Your a good man Josh.
Chuck lived an amazing life and shared so many memories with you guys, I’m so very glad to have have watched those times. Losing a pet is very hard, praying that you guys have the strength! May Chuck always be in your heart ❤️ 🐾
Losing a furbaby is always tough, especially when he's involved in everything like he was. I'm sorry for y'all's loss😪
So sorry to hear about Chuckie. Gonna be hard to train a new Inspector. GB
Josh, Erin, and family. I was so sad to hear Chuckie passed. I cried with you. Love your family and all your critters. Thanks for sharing your home and life with us. We look forward to every video. Praying for peace, comfort, and joy. Above all, joy. God bless.
