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
You don't have to apologize for loving your beautiful dog Blue! The World would be a better place with more "You's" Maria and more Blue's to share it with! Sorry for your loss!
Anyone suggesting grieving the loss of a beloved pet as being "dramatic" or that "it was just a dog" has a heart made of rocks. Muddy. Colorless. Rocks.
where is the information for Joel/ I like to get a Defender truck to travel in and camp around the US? Also I hope when the other trucks arrive that you will stp by Joel's and show us, please, please do!🥰🥰🥰😍
Grieve as long and as much as you need. Your true supporters will be here no matter what! We all loved Blue! We love your content no matter if it’s chaotic or planned out! 🤗🤗🤗
Grief has no timeline. I still tear up when I think about my Levi, and he’s been gone 9 years. He was my child, my comfort and my best friend. He was never just a dog. And neither was Blue. You’re doing great. Give in to it when you need to. ♥️♥️
Girl, you don’t need to explain yourself or your feelings!! To anyone!!! Now, what a cool Camel Defender! Secondly, if you don’t fix that spare tire, I’m going to find you and kick your butt, then buy you another dang tire! 🤪🤪🤪I think Taz has a nervous tummy! That’s probably why she had to go out so much! Happy Camping and Safe Travels!! We love you both and can’t wait for the next adventure! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🐶🐶
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.
You will grieve forever. That’s the downside to love. You do what you need to do to heal. I love my Aussie more than most of the people in my life and equally as much as my most beloved family members. Walk in peace, my friend.
Hi Maria, I think the little Miss Taz is showing more of her dachund traits. They love blankets and their beds. If given the chance, Dachshunds will dig and hunt small varmints (mice). They are protective of their humans. She is such a cutie! ❤
I’ve lost a child, and mourning your dog isn’t any different when your dog is your best friend, your family, your ride-or-die. I’ve enjoyed your content - especially the long stay in Alaska - and look forward to what’s still to come. ❤💙
Ria💙❤️‼️ PLease know that your Reckless Family understands your grieving Blue💙💔 We all loved him dearly and also miss him. Please be gentle with yourself and take as much time as you need. We know he was much more than “Just a Dog”, he was your everything. He was our everything too😢 Love that Taz Girl. She is an Angel. ❌⭕️💙❤️❤
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.
Girl, my heart goes out to you. Anyone who has lost their pup completely understands your mourning. You do what you have to do, and we'll be right here with you compassionately thinking about you and wishing you the best. I loved how you loved your beautiful friend.
My dear you will never get over the loss of Blue, but it will get easier to live with that loss. I'm glad to hear that you are getting back out there and getting on the road. I can tell the time home, with your family, has helped. Can't wait to watch your upcoming adventures. (ps. _ love the Tess protect against the big bad cat segment - got to love a good pupper)
The best thing for you and Taz is to get a new routine together. I think she will love the consistency and help her shyness. You are the best dog mom ever
My dog, Abby passed away 12 years ago and I still mourn the loss… She wasn’t my dog. She was my daughter and my companion. And I miss her every single day. 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…..
Blue was your best friend and companion for a long time. Don't let anyone tell you, oh, it's just a dog, because they are family members. I lost my parakeet Moe four years ago when I was going through cancer treatments. I still miss him.
Oh, my dear Maria, you dont have to apologize or even feel bad. All of us who love you in some ways are grieving Blue, too.♥️ it even helps a little to chat about him. There will always be room for Blue. I lost my sweet furbaby her name was Bindi 3 years ago to cancer, too. So I get what you're going through. So lots of love. Onwards and upwards.
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. I think it’s a miracle that you’re even making videos. Take as long as you need to get over Blue he was incredible. ❤😢❤
Maria you don’t apologize for grieving Blue. It’s been a year and I still cry over my loss. Blue was special. Not just a dog,but a traveling companion, a friend who experienced and enjoyed your travels with you. Dogs give so much and losing one is difficult. Good video. You enjoy camping so much. 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've experienced a lot of loss during this journey. From mom to grandparents, and even a murdered sister. 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 🙏🏽
Losing a dog is never easy. 7 months now and I still sob often. I know how you feel. Find joy in the fact that you got to have all them wonderful experiences with him. You gave him the best life a dog could ask for. ❤
"Why is Summer a thing" is what I've been asking myself everyday,ugh😝 Anybody who says "He was just a dog" 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 part of this channel,no matter what 😰
No need to explain we all know you're still grieving and it's understandable. 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.
Our family does not deal well without a doggo. I’ve always felt that when my doggo passes , she /he leads me to my next doggo. I love your bond with Taz. Super awesome and clearly meant to be even though tho she is different than Blue. You are an amazing dog mom .
Ria, healing from grief takes as long as it needs to, you don’t ever have to explain to anyone. Blue wasn’t ‘just a dog’ your heart knows love whether it’s for Blue or a human, and it doesn’t make it hurt any less when you lose either. 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. 🩵
I had Sammy til he was around 12-15 years old. That was at least 20 years ago and I still catch myself suddenly crying for him. I have a cat named Angel now with the same personality as Sammy! 😸
I'm happy for you Maria. I know something about grief and I am sure the past year has been rough on you. Losing your best friend it's gonna take a while even to get back to feeling a little bit normal. Give Taz a big hug every day.
I had my tuffy 13 years, I still go outside to his grave. He was my childhood dog. My Spots was 15 when we put him down, he was my sons childhood dog. 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.
No one can tell you how long or hard you can grieve sweet baby Blue! That’s your journey! Those of us that grasped just how in twined the two of you are know it will take time. We’re just happy to hang out with you doing whatever makes you smile! Having lost a child and a fur baby I can say they both suck. Time is the only thing that helped me find a new normal..a new peace! You’ll find yours! Much love from the Pacific Northwest 🌲❤️🌲
Grieving is a process and takes the time needed by each individual. We're happy to see whatever content you put up. Take your time, we'll be here. Little Taz is a sweety and the Tazmanian mascot sent by a viewer is so cute. I loved when Taz sat on her bed tipped sideways and seemed totally content with it that way. So funny. Take care.
There are dogs and then there are dog’s souls. I lost my girl Sadie from cancer just after you lost Blue😢. It was sudden too. She was my soul dog, right there inside my heart. She was and always will be there. I’ll always miss her just as you will always with blue. Take the time to recognize your loss and grieve as long as it takes. 🤗 🥰
Awesome and love to Tazzie! She is soo pretty :) We love you ! My dog son Chester is my entire life and I have been praying for you. I wish I had something better to say but know we all support you 100%! There is no "it's just a dog". They our babies and our hearts and souls.
Dogs are family. 'Nuff said. No need to apologize for taking the time you need or handling grief the way you do. What is right for you is right for you. Glad you are starting to feel human. I understand the daily struggle. Always looking forward to your next video! Stay safe Maria!
Alright Maria, out of all the rigs, this is the coolest, besides Poe of course! You can never not have a Defender now. 🥰👍 (p.s. take all the time you need to grieve, I would be the same way about one of my special boys… you are doing the best you can! ) thank you for inspiring us!!
When I found out Blue was gone, I have been grieving his loss too… I’m looking forward to the day you get another Aussie! I think a new puppy for tazzy to love would be an awesome addition to the channel! Maybe a little girl this time! You take all the time you need to grieve blue! We love u girl! ☺❤
"H-O-T-T-O-G-O, you can take me hot to go" like your channel couldn't get any better, and then you throw in some Chappell Roan! New state, LFG! Glad you're feeling better, Maria.
Pets aren’t “pets” they are apart of us our family our children they mean everything to us and blue was your son he was and will always be apart of you travelling along side you with taz, still with you finishing what you guys start years ago he was your bestfriend. I’ve had my cat for 9 years and she is my baby my soulmate I would do anything to protect her. I found your account at the start of January and I’ve been watching yours and blues journey and it’s been beautiful you could tell how much he loved you it was the sweetest thing ever ❤
Dogs like blue are closer than a lot of family members and we all think you need time to process his loss. Your a trooper Maria, can’t wait for your new adventures with taz. Stay strong 👊 29:40
Taz is so adorable it looks like she has a little white heart on her head in this video and the sweetest face ever. So excited you and Tazzy are heading out on the 50 state road trip. Maybe you will be back to finding all those beautiful forest and lakes I bet Taz will love that. I just put that book on my to read list. Can't wait for next week.
We loved Blue and hope you are healing , He was a blessing ! Our Mr Jackpot has been gone 2 years and I miss him so much still we never forget their essence .
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?
It has been a year and a half and I still cry from time to time when I think of my Maggie. If people are coming at you they need to get over it. Hang in there Maria
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!!
As much you love Taz and she loves you, this lifestyle is really not for her. I cannot imagine being under such a big stress every single day as she is when changing the environment so often. Hope you can give her some break to decompress.
Mom type post. Love your videos. Taz is sweet. And especially with you. We have a dear rescue. He took a year to go out the doggy door. And then one day. Flap flap we heard him going out! Same thing with his bark. Didn’t bark for a year! Ours is the sweetest best dog we’ve had. Everyone needs grace and time for healing. Sending you love.
Everyone should love their doggy as much as you loved sweet Blue. All animals need and want to be loved and cared for. They give happily all their affection to us.❤
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!!
🐶♥️ you did loose a child, you cared for him just like a mother would a child. They rely on you their whole lives for everything so it’s like having a baby for years. I lost two of my dogs in the same month and it ripped my heart out! I do have 2 kids as well but my pets are my babies too. I am so excited for your future videos.
Girl I still grieve for my Maci and currently my Kaydi has been so sick, we almost lost her plus she had emergency gut surgery, shes home now but I have to sit up all night with her..but I would give my life for her. So I understand..it takes a while to start feeling like you can take a deep breath without crying. Take your time
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💕
There’s no such thing as just a dog. My dog is only two and I cannot imagine losing her. I’m glad you’re feeling a little “better” but remember healing is not linear. You will be okay eventually. Lots of love xx
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 have all my doggie friends buried in my back yard. I have two living with me now. I love them dearly and know they love me no matter what happens in our lives. All but one of my past dogs have been mixed breeds,rescue. I miss different things with each dog because of their personalities. And little Taz has already become yours. I am 74 so been through all this many times
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. 🫂♥️
Girl, take all the time you need to grieve for your best friend, companion, your fur baby. I still cry after losing my fur baby 4 years ago when I think of him or talk about him. They will never leave your mind and especially your heart. Those special creatures leave those everlasting paw prints on our hearts. Until we all meet up again! ❤
I really enjoy your channel. I look forward to hearing how you are and where you are. One thing I want to tell you is don't apologize or think you owe anyone an explanation. Grief is hard, and the fact that you pull yourself up each day and smile for the camera is a win! We are proud of you and the lifestyle you chose. Remember, don't apologize. Simply update us and continue being you! Be safe out there!
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.❤❤❤
Losing Blue is heartbreaking. It will take time for your grievances over Blue, which is understandable. Losing my dog Chibi was so hard too, so I know where you coming from. My memories of her will always be in my heart. ❤️ I still prefer POE over that Camel Defender.
Don’t ever let anyone tell you he was just a dog. I’ve lost several pets in my life and it never gets easier. I’ve lost my parents too, and I can’t tell you one loss was more painful than another. When we lose what we love, we hurt. Your Blue will always be a part of you and that’s as it should be.
your not dramatic your feelings for blue are your feeling he was your fur baby a big part of your life its so hard to lose a animal i lost mine after 18 years it took many years to move on love your videos be safe also we understand its been hard for you know need to say sorry for grief its real
We love you, and we understand what you were going through. We lost our Maysa a year ago to the day, and we are still having a hard time. We lost her to cancer. And they are not just dogs. If you love them, they are family. Give Taz a big hug for me. Much love from Ohio.
Maria, my boxer mix Jazz is with me 24/7. The bond you create with your dog when you're with them all the time is undeniable. When I heard of you losing Blue, it broke me too. 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.
Losing your boy will be with you forever. It's what you do with it that matters. Good to see you wanting to spread your wings again. Hopefully your baby girl will settle and build some trust knowing the real you instead of part of you. That defender was special but I really like yours.
Maria you never need to apologize! We were ALL grieving, and some probably are (ME) It is so nice to see you smiling a little more! I also feel surrounding your self with family, and even Joel, is probably doing you a world of good until you feel you want to do more! We all love you! and of course Tazzy! 😘
It’s never just a dog he was your total life an best friend so losing blue is losing a part of you so take as long as is needed to grieve you never get over losing him you just learn how to cope with the grief so sweetheart take your time an we are all here for you we have our arms tightly wrapped around you we’ve got you hun take care an see you in the nxt one love you xxx 😘
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.
Amen! You take as much time as you need, sweetheart!!! We are all grieving for Blue with you!!!!!
No need to tell us how deeply you loved Blue. He was family ❤ ...please don't give naysayers an ounce of you 🫂
💙
Blues collar on the rear view mirror. 😢
@@aussiesandtrails Yes, that is something I'm sure I'd do too. Maria keeps him as close to her as she should.
In honor of Blue, you should collect something blue in color from each state visited going forward 💙💙
I love this!!!
Such a wonderful idea 💙🇦🇺
We love you 💙
💙🐶
No need to ever apologize for how you deal with grief. You just take care of you.
We all really enjoy your content. Stay safe!
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. ❤❤
About mosquitos… try running a fan and blowing air on the two of you - they can’t fly in wind of fan ..
Girl!!! 4 years later and i am still grieving the loss of my 20 year old cat that I lost during 2020! There is no time limit and you do you!!!
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
Well said. Anyone you thinks Blue was just a dog, has never had the love of a dog 💙
You don't have to apologize for loving your beautiful dog Blue! The World would be a better place with more "You's" Maria and more Blue's to share it with! Sorry for your loss!
Beautifully said!
Everyone loves and also grieves DIFFERENTLY. Cry when you feel it and cherish those beautiful memories. ❤
Anyone suggesting grieving the loss of a beloved pet as being "dramatic" or that "it was just a dog" has a heart made of rocks. Muddy. Colorless. Rocks.
Joel gives off such dad vibes I love it
where is the information for Joel/ I like to get a Defender truck to travel in and camp around the US? Also I hope when the other trucks arrive that you will stp by Joel's and show us, please, please do!🥰🥰🥰😍
Now that’s much better than the cybertruck.
Realll
Yes! But you gotta admit the Cyber Truck was cool cuz Maria and Taz were camping in it 😂
not as reliable we have seen poe LOL
Going home was the best you could of done. Grieving is no joke. Take Care ❤❤
I should've done it a lot sooner
Grieve as long and as much as you need. Your true supporters will be here no matter what! We all loved Blue! We love your content no matter if it’s chaotic or planned out! 🤗🤗🤗
When you lose an animal, it’s just like losing a loved one take all the time you need to grieve I pray for you daily
Grief has no timeline. I still tear up when I think about my Levi, and he’s been gone 9 years. He was my child, my comfort and my best friend. He was never just a dog. And neither was Blue. You’re doing great. Give in to it when you need to. ♥️♥️
Same, my girl has been gone almost 3 years. I still cry every single day thinking of her. I’ll miss her until the day I die.
Girl, you don’t need to explain yourself or your feelings!! To anyone!!! Now, what a cool Camel Defender! Secondly, if you don’t fix that spare tire, I’m going to find you and kick your butt, then buy you another dang tire! 🤪🤪🤪I think Taz has a nervous tummy! That’s probably why she had to go out so much! Happy Camping and Safe Travels!! We love you both and can’t wait for the next adventure! ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🐶🐶
Well I WAS headed to bed, but not now! 😅 can't miss a new Roaming Reckless video.
Girl you got this! Blue was not “just a dog” he was your friend, your companion and your protector. Keep on truckin’ you’re doing so good!
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.
You will grieve forever. That’s the downside to love. You do what you need to do to heal. I love my Aussie more than most of the people in my life and equally as much as my most beloved family members. Walk in peace, my friend.
Hi Maria, I think the little Miss Taz is showing more of her dachund traits. They love blankets and their beds. If given the chance, Dachshunds will dig and hunt small varmints (mice). They are protective of their humans. She is such a cutie! ❤
I’ve lost a child, and mourning your dog isn’t any different when your dog is your best friend, your family, your ride-or-die. I’ve enjoyed your content - especially the long stay in Alaska - and look forward to what’s still to come. ❤💙
😢😢😢sorry for your losses.
Ria💙❤️‼️ PLease know that your Reckless Family understands your grieving Blue💙💔 We all loved him dearly and also miss him. Please be gentle with yourself and take as much time as you need. We know he was much more than “Just a Dog”, he was your everything. He was our everything too😢 Love that Taz Girl. She is an Angel. ❌⭕️💙❤️❤
That ‘98 blue defender though. Wow!
I wish she’d get some a/c
"Time has a way of taking time." Glad to see you're healing but never forgetting. 🐶
You just take your time grieving,you don't need to apologize to anyone. Only you know how deep your love for Bleu was. You will be ok.
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.
Girl, my heart goes out to you. Anyone who has lost their pup completely understands your mourning. You do what you have to do, and we'll be right here with you compassionately thinking about you and wishing you the best. I loved how you loved your beautiful friend.
My dear you will never get over the loss of Blue, but it will get easier to live with that loss. I'm glad to hear that you are getting back out there and getting on the road. I can tell the time home, with your family, has helped. Can't wait to watch your upcoming adventures. (ps. _ love the Tess protect against the big bad cat segment - got to love a good pupper)
The best thing for you and Taz is to get a new routine together. I think she will love the consistency and help her shyness. You are the best dog mom ever
My dog, Abby passed away 12 years ago and I still mourn the loss… She wasn’t my dog. She was my daughter and my companion. And I miss her every single day.
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…..
I lost my dog Pauline 5 years ago (she was 18 years old), I still talk to her out loud when I'm alone 🥲
I do the same. Never stop talking to them They may not be standing beside you in body, but they are definitely there in soul.
Blue was your best friend and companion for a long time. Don't let anyone tell you, oh, it's just a dog, because they are family members. I lost my parakeet Moe four years ago when I was going through cancer treatments. I still miss him.
Oh, my dear Maria, you dont have to apologize or even feel bad. All of us who love you in some ways are grieving Blue, too.♥️ it even helps a little to chat about him. There will always be room for Blue. I lost my sweet furbaby her name was Bindi 3 years ago to cancer, too. So I get what you're going through. So lots of love. Onwards and upwards.
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. I think it’s a miracle that you’re even making videos. Take as long as you need to get over Blue he was incredible. ❤😢❤
Maria you don’t apologize for grieving Blue. It’s been a year and I still cry over my loss. Blue was special. Not just a dog,but a traveling companion, a friend who experienced and enjoyed your travels with you. Dogs give so much and losing one is difficult. Good video. You enjoy camping so much. 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. ❤
He was not just a dog he was your best friend and good boy! Every single person’s grief is different that’s a fact
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
No need to apologize! Dogs are family and we will enjoy your content any time you post it!
I've experienced a lot of loss during this journey. From mom to grandparents, and even a murdered sister. 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 🙏🏽
So sorry for all your losses. I pray God will comfort you.
Losing a dog is never easy. 7 months now and I still sob often. I know how you feel. Find joy in the fact that you got to have all them wonderful experiences with him. You gave him the best life a dog could ask for. ❤
"Why is Summer a thing" is what I've
been asking myself everyday,ugh😝
Anybody who says "He was just a dog"
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
part of this channel,no matter what 😰
No need to explain we all know you're still grieving and it's understandable. 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.
Grief takes as Long as it takes Blue was Your family 🌹
Our family does not deal well without a doggo. I’ve always felt that when my doggo passes , she /he leads me to my next doggo. I love your bond with Taz. Super awesome and clearly meant to be even though tho she is different than Blue. You are an amazing dog mom .
Ria, healing from grief takes as long as it needs to, you don’t ever have to explain to anyone. Blue wasn’t ‘just a dog’ your heart knows love whether it’s for Blue or a human, and it doesn’t make it hurt any less when you lose either. 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. 🩵
I had Sammy til he was around 12-15 years old. That was at least 20 years ago and I still catch myself suddenly crying for him. I have a cat named Angel now with the same personality as Sammy! 😸
I'm happy for you Maria. I know something about grief and I am sure the past year has been rough on you. Losing your best friend it's gonna take a while even to get back to feeling a little bit normal. Give Taz a big hug every day.
I had my tuffy 13 years, I still go outside to his grave. He was my childhood dog. My Spots was 15 when we put him down, he was my sons childhood dog. 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.
And I agree 💯 percent with you
No one can tell you how long or hard you can grieve sweet baby Blue! That’s your journey! Those of us that grasped just how in twined the two of you are know it will take time. We’re just happy to hang out with you doing whatever makes you smile! Having lost a child and a fur baby I can say they both suck. Time is the only thing that helped me find a new normal..a new peace! You’ll find yours! Much love from the Pacific Northwest 🌲❤️🌲
Grieving is a process and takes the time needed by each individual. We're happy to see whatever content you put up. Take your time, we'll be here. Little Taz is a sweety and the Tazmanian mascot sent by a viewer is so cute. I loved when Taz sat on her bed tipped sideways and seemed totally content with it that way. So funny. Take care.
No such a thing as “just a dog”. The love for and of a dog is like no other 💙
Safe travels!!💚
We all progress through the fog at our own pace…. Blessings!!💚💚💚
There are dogs and then there are dog’s souls. I lost my girl Sadie from cancer just after you lost Blue😢. It was sudden too. She was my soul dog, right there inside my heart. She was and always will be there. I’ll always miss her just as you will always with blue. Take the time to recognize your loss and grieve as long as it takes. 🤗 🥰
Awesome and love to Tazzie! She is soo pretty :) We love you ! My dog son Chester is my entire life and I have been praying for you. I wish I had something better to say but know we all support you 100%! There is no "it's just a dog". They our babies and our hearts and souls.
Dogs are family. 'Nuff said. No need to apologize for taking the time you need or handling grief the way you do. What is right for you is right for you. Glad you are starting to feel human. I understand the daily struggle. Always looking forward to your next video! Stay safe Maria!
Alright Maria, out of all the rigs, this is the coolest, besides Poe of course! You can never not have a Defender now. 🥰👍 (p.s. take all the time you need to grieve, I would be the same way about one of my special boys… you are doing the best you can! ) thank you for inspiring us!!
When I found out Blue was gone, I have been grieving his loss too… I’m looking forward to the day you get another Aussie! I think a new puppy for tazzy to love would be an awesome addition to the channel! Maybe a little girl this time! You take all the time you need to grieve blue! We love u girl! ☺❤
"H-O-T-T-O-G-O, you can take me hot to go" like your channel couldn't get any better, and then you throw in some Chappell Roan! New state, LFG! Glad you're feeling better, Maria.
Pets aren’t “pets” they are apart of us our family our children they mean everything to us and blue was your son he was and will always be apart of you travelling along side you with taz, still with you finishing what you guys start years ago he was your bestfriend. I’ve had my cat for 9 years and she is my baby my soulmate I would do anything to protect her. I found your account at the start of January and I’ve been watching yours and blues journey and it’s been beautiful you could tell how much he loved you it was the sweetest thing ever ❤
"Ray men noodles"
That's the first time I ever heard anybody pronounce it like that 🤣
Ria, it's pronounced "raw-men." ❤
Dogs like blue are closer than a lot of family members and we all think you need time to process his loss. Your a trooper Maria, can’t wait for your new adventures with taz. Stay strong 👊 29:40
My pets are my kids. Period.
We all grieve at our own pace. We’re all here for you. ❤
Taz is so adorable it looks like she has a little white heart on her head in this video and the sweetest face ever. So excited you and Tazzy are heading out on the 50 state road trip. Maybe you will be back to finding all those beautiful forest and lakes I bet Taz will love that. I just put that book on my to read list. Can't wait for next week.
Really need to get one of those extendo leashes for Taz. Let her run around a bit while still hooked up to the truck 😭
I agree
@@Mko007 the 4ft leash ain’t it.. 😩
she has a 50 footer, I just don't film with her on it I guess
We loved Blue and hope you are healing , He was a blessing !
Our Mr Jackpot has been gone 2 years and I miss him so much still we never forget their essence .

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 was thinking this too ❤
It has been a year and a half and I still cry from time to time when I think of my Maggie. If people are coming at you they need to get over it. Hang in there Maria
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!!
That's true 👍🏻🙏🏻
grieving my dog (daughter) has not been linear at all.. it's been 11 months and last night i cried all night like it was day 2 or 3 without her
As much you love Taz and she loves you, this lifestyle is really not for her. I cannot imagine being under such a big stress every single day as she is when changing the environment so often. Hope you can give her some break to decompress.
Mom type post. Love your videos. Taz is sweet. And especially with you. We have a dear rescue. He took a year to go out the doggy door. And then one day. Flap flap we heard him going out! Same thing with his bark. Didn’t bark for a year! Ours is the sweetest best dog we’ve had. Everyone needs grace and time for healing. Sending you love.
Everyone should love their doggy as much as you loved sweet Blue. All animals need and want to be loved and cared for. They give happily all their affection to us.❤
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!!
🐶♥️ you did loose a child, you cared for him just like a mother would a child. They rely on you their whole lives for everything so it’s like having a baby for years. I lost two of my dogs in the same month and it ripped my heart out! I do have 2 kids as well but my pets are my babies too.
I am so excited for your future videos.
Girl I still grieve for my Maci and currently my Kaydi has been so sick, we almost lost her plus she had emergency gut surgery, shes home now but I have to sit up all night with her..but I would give my life for her. So I understand..it takes a while to start feeling like you can take a deep breath without crying. Take your time
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💕
There’s no such thing as just a dog. My dog is only two and I cannot imagine losing her. I’m glad you’re feeling a little “better” but remember healing is not linear. You will be okay eventually. Lots of love xx
It does get better. The pain will never go away. It just gets easier to cope with the pain of a loss like that.
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 have all my doggie friends buried in my back yard. I have two living with me now. I love them dearly and know they love me no matter what happens in our lives. All but one of my past dogs have been mixed breeds,rescue. I miss different things with each dog because of their personalities. And little Taz has already become yours. I am 74 so been through all this many times
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. 🫂♥️
Girl, take all the time you need to grieve for your best friend, companion, your fur baby. I still cry after losing my fur baby 4 years ago when I think of him or talk about him. They will never leave your mind and especially your heart. Those special creatures leave those everlasting paw prints on our hearts. Until we all meet up again! ❤
It's OK to grieve. Our fur babies are our life. Take care and stay safe.
I really enjoy your channel. I look forward to hearing how you are and where you are. One thing I want to tell you is don't apologize or think you owe anyone an explanation. Grief is hard, and the fact that you pull yourself up each day and smile for the camera is a win! We are proud of you and the lifestyle you chose. Remember, don't apologize. Simply update us and continue being you! Be safe out there!
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.❤❤❤
Losing Blue is heartbreaking. It will take time for your grievances over Blue, which is understandable. Losing my dog Chibi was so hard too, so I know where you coming from. My memories of her will always be in my heart. ❤️
I still prefer POE over that Camel Defender.
Don’t ever let anyone tell you he was just a dog. I’ve lost several pets in my life and it never gets easier. I’ve lost my parents too, and I can’t tell you one loss was more painful than another. When we lose what we love, we hurt. Your Blue will always be a part of you and that’s as it should be.
Grieving is such a personal thing….whether family or pet. Continue to be you. Don’t worry about what others think or say. We love you.🥰
your not dramatic your feelings for blue are your feeling he was your fur baby a big part of your life its so hard to lose a animal i lost mine after 18 years it took many years to move on love your videos be safe also we understand its been hard for you know need to say sorry for grief its real
We love you, and we understand what you were going through. We lost our Maysa a year ago to the day, and we are still having a hard time. We lost her to cancer. And they are not just dogs. If you love them, they are family.
Give Taz a big hug for me. Much love from Ohio.
Taz looking alot more clingy/needy shes not used to having windows all around a vehicle. Shes adorable and makes a great mate for you.❤
Maria, my boxer mix Jazz is with me 24/7. The bond you create with your dog when you're with them all the time is undeniable. When I heard of you losing Blue, it broke me too. 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.
Losing your boy will be with you forever. It's what you do with it that matters.
Good to see you wanting to spread your wings again. Hopefully your baby girl will settle and build some trust knowing the real you instead of part of you.
That defender was special but I really like yours.
Maria you never need to apologize! We were ALL grieving, and some probably are (ME) It is so nice to see you smiling a little more! I also feel surrounding your self with family, and even Joel, is probably doing you a world of good until you feel you want to do more! We all love you! and of course Tazzy! 😘
It’s never just a dog he was your total life an best friend so losing blue is losing a part of you so take as long as is needed to grieve you never get over losing him you just learn how to cope with the grief so sweetheart take your time an we are all here for you we have our arms tightly wrapped around you we’ve got you hun take care an see you in the nxt one love you xxx 😘
