    There is no such thing as "just a dog." Today, I was with a 10-week-old Aussie and I fell in love in that instant. Blue was a part of you and Taz is super adorable but she's never going to be Bubby. Grief has no time limit. You know how to handle it, no one else.

    Losing Bleu is understandably heartbreaking. As a lifetime dog owner, my husband I have morned the loss of 9 dogs in our 43 years of marriage. We have fostered and loved on our 3 grand dogs. They are not things, they are heartfelt therapy, goof balls, snuggle bugs that love you unconditionally. Most of our fur babies are buried on our property with individual name plaques. As a mother to Bleu, you did everything possible to give him a life that he deserved. Very proud of you. Taz is very fortunate to have you as her mom. ❤❤

    Its not dramatic in the slightest. And those who say "its just a dog" arent our people and dont get it. I love my fur babies more than every human on this planet besides my kids.
    Blue and you spent all day every day together. Bonding since he was a baby. The one who held and you spoke to middle of the night. Yall kept eachother warm. He gave you unconditional love and goofiness. Nothing comparws. We get it

    I lost my Rotti, my best friend of 11 years to cancer , it hurt like nothing else, the loss left me empty and lost. Time heals and a new German Shepherd named Wynter, filled the Void of my Taz's loss. I named him Taz because when he was a Pup , he loved chasing his tail and was like a Tornado. Love the name you gave Her, when you say Tazzy, it brings back the wonderful time we had shared. Sending much love to you and Taz.

    I'm 70 years old and I still mourn the loss of Dukie and Duchess, the pair of shelties we had when I was a small child. I mourn the loss of every critter I've ever had, not every day, but when I think of them. I like to think of all of them as a huge pack across the rainbow bridge waiting for me. It is never JUST a dog, or cat, or horse. Each and every one of them were special in their own way. Don't ever let anyone try to tell you what you should feel, it's your heart and only you know when you can look across that bridge and see your own pack with all the love and joy you felt while they were on this earth.

    I never want to stop mourning the loss of Abby because I never want to forget just how much she meant to me.. She is sadly missed, but I know I will see her again when I step over the rainbow….
    I truly feel the pain you are going through Maria… Blue was an absolutely beautiful and loyal companion, and I sympathize with you for the loss of such a beautiful boy…
    Now you have a beautiful young girl that needs the same kind of love that her brother had from you…..

    It’s not dramatic at all. It took me a year to stop crying when my dog died. She was almost 16 years old. She was a teacup Yorky. She was my emotional support system and my child.

Hug Taz for me. She loves you and she’ll be happy anywhere you are hopefully not as shy the more she travels. Be safe. ❤

    Do whatever drama you need to. When you live alone with your dog, they become your child. You have to do everything for them. Hell, I still cry now that I know Blue is gone and I try to catch up and binge watch you both. I opened this video 9 minutes after you posted and it already had over 1300 hits. I must have missed the one you named Taz. I think that's perfect for her. When I love my dog Every, and when we tuck in at night I think of Blue and send up a prayer for him...and you. My love...Scotty, passed in 2015 and love never ends. My heart twisted when you went to Homer and the sunset...and Blue...I knew what you were going to say. Aloha from Alaska

I dont have children and haven't suffered that loss thank God however the loss of my dog of 13 years has been the most difficult grieving process. It was a year in June and it does get easier with time. My life will never be the same however is changing because thats what life is all about. I'm happy to see you and Taz connecting more. A black cat has been helping my healing process and for that i am super thankful. Thanks for creating this space 🙏🏽

    has clearly never been a dog parent &
    doesn't know what it's like to have the
    love & loyalty of a furry 4 legged child!
    Besides, grief has no timetable & all of
    us deal with it in different ways. I still
    miss every dog I've ever lost,every day!
    Blue was adored by so many & he will
    remain in our 💙's forever and will be a

I have 100 pound golden retriever that I didn't want from the beginning but now at the Bond that is unbelievable so much that I want to get a tattoo of him and I have none at this point that's how much I love my dog Benny And I think about the day that I will be losing him many years from now he just turned eight in July anyways dogs are part of our family and we take care of them to the fullest. You have done an awesome job with blue. Keep going strong. Can't wait for the new adventures with you and your new fur baby.🙏🏼

    Dogs are so hard to grieve, because there love is so unwavering and pure. They don’t judge us and they love unconditionally. I can’t imagine what this last year has been like for you but you deserve all the time in the world to grieve such a special soul like Blue. I can feel his presence in every video you put out. also Taz is too cute 🥰 At least you know there will be no cat attacks because she doesn’t play around 😂

    G'day, Glad to hear that things are getting better. I have never owned a dog in my many year but have had over 20 kit cats during our 44 years of marriage. Due to health issues we were unable to have children so our cats have been our furry kids. We can really relate to the loss of one of the kids. Blue will always be a part of you but your patience with Taz is really showing through.
    I am actually at retirement age and stored out on the farm is a high top converted Chevrolet Suburban. I have a lift kit and some really stout driveline for it. If I can I am going to put it together and see how truck camping is.
    Take care and be safe please.

Blue was a rare soul and most of us would be lucky to have such a bond. Glad to see that you are doing better. Miss Taz is very sweet. 🩵

But in reality they were family, they were better to me than my real family so I think animals are much better than people. Sorry not sorry. You grieve how you have to. I visit both of their graves every time Im back there. Whoever doesnt understand your grief, never has known unconditional love. I said what I said.

    Please no need for apologies. Your love for your puppies is a beautiful gift. Greiving is a personal emotion which you have shared with us. I lost my Catahoula shepherd who was my best friend 9 months ago. Before he died he spent helping me train a Anatolian shepherd puppy who is now 170 lbs and a big lover as CID was. Buck help me through the grief. Love is the most wonderful emotion but also a he most painful. Take care love Taz and live your life the best way you know how.

    Maria, would you ever consider finding a “stationary” family for Taz? This dog lives in constant fear and anxiety. That’s cruel. She is not getting used to a lifestyle YOU choose for her. Maybe it would be best for her to live in the house permanently as she feels safe and happy staying at such environment?

    I just want to say that sometimes rescuing an animal doesn't always mean it's their forever home. Sometimes it's just their chance to get a break and have a Guardian who will ensure they get to where they need to be, in the end. Just like humans, who may be RV-overlanding-tenting-or homebody folk, so are dogs. I don't think this is the lifestyle that suites Taz. It's not mean or sad to admit it and be her Guardian to find the place she needs to be. As a rescuer, you would never abandon her back at a shelter or on the side of road; however, that doesn't mean you need to keep her in a lifestyle that clearly isn't working for her. There's NO shame or hate in admitting that and finding what will work for her as you have found what works for you. I know we only see snippets, but since you've brought that dog in, from what I've seen, it just isn't her cup of tea. If you're at all feeling that in your gut-it's okay. I know and trust you'll find her the home that works for her. And in turn, you'll find the dog that works for you and your lifestyle.

      I know you think this comment is nice but it's actually rude AF!!!! You're right we only see snippets Karen, so keep your rescue diagnosis to yourself. As someone that works in rescue, I can tell you with all confidence you don't know what you're talking about!!! Rescue dogs take a long time to adjust and that's what it happening here.

      As an avid animal lover, I was searching for this comment, thank you for saying something!! I've only seen a couple of videos since she adopted her new dog, but I noticed that in each video that her car lifestyle is seemingly taking a huge emotional toll on Taz. No dog should be at those levels of stress consistently. Every animal is different. Heck, I am scared of being in public and being outside makes me feel physically sick. No animal or person deserves to feel anxious a majority of the time. We also only see a glimpse of their life so we also cannot just assume and judge her situation. But please consider professional training or a hiatus or something! Also I rescue elderly cats and loss is extremely hard. Sorry for your loss and please take it easy!!

    Oh gosh! There is never a time limit of any loss! It doesn't matter if it's human or animal! I have lost many dear and beloved animals, which included so many dogs! Grief has to work it's way out till it is no longer painful! There will probably always be sadness but, Taz can help you through that. I still grieve for animals I lost in my childhood, and I am elderly now. I hope you continue to love Taz like I see you do on your videos! If Taz could talk, I am sure she could tell you many sad stories of her past! She really is a great dog and will, as time goes by, bond with you even more deeply than she already has! She is a great little dog! I know and love Aussies so very well, as I live with quite a few! I love your videos and the wonderful young woman that you are! Kisses and Hugs to both you and Taz!!

  • @99whiteshadow
    @99whiteshadow 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Everyone grieves differently and I feel that the love of a dog is so genuine & different from any other love we experience in life. I lost my 12 year old Shih Tzu mix unexpectedly last November (which at that time I was 24 so I had her for half of my life) and I was a wreck. I had her bowl of food out for two weeks after her passing and just last month I finally packed up her kennel (and yes I broke down). The first year is always the hardest because when you’re so used to having them in your daily routine you notice their absence. I think you having Taz has helped your grieving process because we have two other dogs that helped with ours which was nice because it’s wasn’t as big of an absence vs. the dog that passed being your only dog (if that makes sense). Sending a lot of love and tight hugs to you💕

    Maria you are a wonderful Mom and of course you are going through immense grief, and we all care so much for you and Blue (and now Jazzy Tazzy :). I am so happy to see you post at all because that kind level of grief is debilitating and really difficult on its own, but you add a life lived as a youtube creator, of which Blue was a huge part of, and I think that makes it so much harder for you dear. I cried every day for 2 years when my beloved Balto passed, and it took me 2 years to get another dog as well. And now I have Tucky and he is also my kid! My human kids are grown up now so our fur babies are almost like having them still home and still really young. It is wonderful and healing, so I am sure having Taz helps. But nothing heals grief like time, and allowing your happy memories of Blue to stay alive. You are very fortunate to have years of pictures and videos with Blue, and you know he still lives in Heaven and can hear you. Much Love to you and Tazz!

    I don’t know you personally but I do know what heartache and grief are. As a pawrent I have seen three fur babies go over the rainbow. I now have two maltipoo/Shih tzu’s and at first they sort of filled the the huge void but now we are bonded. After the loss of my husband on 8/29/22, I don’t know what I would do without them. Grief has no time limit and your are entitled to feel as you do. Glad that you have Taz who also knew Blue. That’s so special. Sending hugs and much love - Ginger. 🫂♥️

    As someone who has lost parents and dogs it's not something you just get over. There are days when I talk about my parents and just want them here, but I feel like I talk about my dogs more. It could be that the dogs passed a few years before my parents and it's not as raw, but my dogs come up more in conversation. It probably took me a good 6 months after my parents passed to feel like myself again. Your dog was you best friend and who you saw everyday so that isn't any different just because he was a dog. I wish you only the best in this time. It will get better and I know it already has. I can wait to watch you on your travels. Blue and Alaska is what led my to your story. My Mom loved Alaska, we lived there for a few years and she passed a few years ago from Cancer.❤❤❤

The joy and happiness between you two was inspiring. I truly dread the day when I lose Jazz. You never get over losing a special family member that has given so much love and joy. We learn to live without them. With a hole in our hearts they used to fill. Big air hug to you and Tas from Jazz and I. Keep Roaming Reckless, knowing Blue is watching over the two of you.
