I cannot thank you enough Matthew for sharing your feelings about losing your dog. Your talk meant so much to me. Not long ago I lost another best friend. I'm an old man and have said goodbye to more than one best friend. Thank for saying the words that many of us feel inside when we lose a best companion. And thanks for mentioning Joe and Scout. We are a community of friends.
There’s almost nothing more painful than losing an animal you love. You “rescued” Monty though and Hatchi’s spirit lives on through him. It’s said that grief is ‘Love with nowhere to go’: enter “Monty the Magnificent”. He “rescued” you back. Very touching story.
For all the people who read the comments before you watch the video, this is my favorite bush craft buddy Matt , he's so awesome ! He is the showstopper of bush crafting ! Keeping it real , very entertaining and makes you laugh . What can I say.. I love the guy !
Yes he difinelty is great and I love how he never gets negitive but sees happy in everything and comes up with amazing solutions to problems he encounters along the way and what can I say about Monty well he's the best, gorgeous dog and such a lovely personality❤
Your Hachi story was so poignant. I can certainly understand the guilt; I missed serious symptoms once and the vet couldn’t save my little dog. Just broke our hearts but opened the door to another amazing dog who lived to a healthy old age. Thank you for sharing. You have such a compassionate heart.
New to your channel and I am loving your adventures with your dogs, your sense of humor and your "gourmet" meals. This one touched my heart. Thank you for sharing your story and struggles with feelings of guilt and doubt about Hachi (hope I spelled it right). I had a similiar experience with my cat Simon. For those of us who share our lives with furry friends, it's never "just" a cat or "just" a dog, it's losing a friend, a companion and it hurts. If you add a little doubt about not having done enough or making the wrong decision, it hurts even more. But, as you so beautifully said, the loss brought about a new friend. If I hadn't lost Simon, I wouldn't have found Charlotte who makes me smile every day. It does help to talk about it, knowing that you are not alone is very healing. Monte and Ruger are absolutely gorgeous and what a life of adventure they are living! Keep the videos coming!
Thanks for mentioning Scout and Joe Robinet, I watch his channel all the time. I subscribed to your channel because I love dogs and you're so hilarious at times, thanks for your video 🦊
Posa, thank you so much for your vids!!And congratulations on all the new subs! You deserve it! You are hilarious, and I have to say it again, your intro is the BEST! Plus it's your own music! On a more mushy note, it's incredible and greatly appreciated you acknowledge our comments. And even say, 'hey, start a new thread if you want me to comment'. It truly gets you and your viewers more engaged, and most likely we share & share your videos. We realize it takes a lot of time & dedication to comment or like any or all our comments. And yet, you do it! This will make you stand above the rest. In the same breath, when you get so big, it will be possible to keep up with us commenters. So we cherish this little time frame we have with you.. Many Blessings to Funck, Monty, Reuger, You & all your extended family! What a wonderful life you have carved out for your self & share it with us. Merry Christmas Posa's!! And to all your fans!
Thanks for sharing your story, Matthew. Wife and I lost our dog to old age (13 years old) about a month ago - American cocker spaniel. It's good to see that you spend time with your dogs in the outdoors - definitely one of the joys of having a dog. Another is sharing steak with them! Great video and excellent channel. :)
Matthew, perfection is boring. You two stay as silly as you want. I always have a great time watching your video's. Love to watch you get gourmet in the woods!!! By the way, we like your stories. 😊👍
Hi matt, i watch your videos every night as i try to close my eyes. Suffering severe insomnia, your peaceful videos are very settleing and monty adds that little extra :) just a real dude, doing real life stuff with his loyal companion :) happy camping fella
Very nice video Posa. I am bawling my eyes out because I know how hard losing Hachi was for you guys. I know how much he meant to you both. He meant a lot to the whole family. The tremors from his loss were felt all over and they still bring pains to my gut when I think of him being gone. He was by far the best dog I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and you guys did a wonderful job of loving him. But I always had a feeling that you privately held yourself somewhat responsible for what happened and I hope that you don’t because what happened was never your fault. Sometimes, things happen because they do and it’s just that. I know as humans, we have a hard time blaming fate for what it is and we want to find a reason for why things happen but in Hachis case, the reason was because he got sick with a horrible condition. You did EVERYTHING humanly possible to save his life. In fact, you did more than MOST people would have done for a dog and that’s saying a lot about who you are. Both of you. You are good people and any dog or dogs you guys own in your lifetime will always have the best life; including the two amazing fur babies you have now. 😍 I love you both so very much!!! Keep up the great work Posa! Your videos are always fun to watch and The G-man always likes watching “Uncky P chop up wood and make fires” and such. 😂😂
Thank you for sharing your personal story about your dog. I think we cried with you . I know I did. The blessing out of this tragedy is that you got Monty who is the best dog in the world. Monty is more precious than ever. ⛺️🐶🏕💖💕🙏
beautiful story about your sadly passed dog so happy you have wonderful dogs in your life and by your side now also best content as usual, always stay up all night watching your videos
Thank you for this vid. Mental health is extremely important for both men and women, but men don't hear about this nearly enough, so serious props to you for being so candid with your struggles. I found your vids through Joe but now (especially after this vid) you are one of my alltime favorite youtube personalities. Love Monty and the Monty voice. Keep posting!!
I admire the way you care and love Monty. When I’m ready I hope to get my own “Monty” that I can deeply care for... the way you do. These videos are my new favorite thing. Looks like a lot of work and a great pay off. Well wishes from New York. xx
Great video Matthew! It's hard to talk about mental health but just letting people know it's ok to talk about their problems is very meaningful. As usual Monty is a superstar. Nice that the weather was on the mild side.
Thanks for sharing your story. That must have been the most difficult drive while your sweet dog is hurting. I can understand that you may have felt bad about how that all happened, but I’m sure that your sweet dog appreciated everything you tried to do and he loved you and Funk so much that he would not want you to feel bad any more. Love your videos. Your humor and realness is refreshing. And of course I love Monty and Rueger too. I watch joe too, and I love his dog Scout - so sad.
Thanks Matt. That was a heart-breaking story but I believe there is a purpose for everything. Believe me I know what a difficult ride to vet feels like. Appreciate you sharing this with us and we are glad you have Monty now. He is a great dog and a superstar on your channel. Darn Matt, was that a monster thick steak, and I did the Monty druel just has it came out of the wrapper!
The campfire story, i can totally relate to. Thank you for opening up and telling the story of your past pooch. You inspire me to go start a camp fire and cook a steak and talk about my mental trauma. Thanks Matt.
My husband and I love your videos. We’ve been binge watching the last day as we’re both home with the flu. Gives us time to catch up! We’re hunkered down with our Sheltie dog who enjoys watching Monty eat bacon cheese burgers and fetch sticks. Love your positive/playful outlook on life! PS: we’re also learning a few things :) Happy camping!
Thank you as always Monty and Matt, the video will help me to get through this week as i will be recuperating, I love your camping trips and look forward to every one :) You look great Monty xx
Sweet that you gave into Monty -settling on Your side.💖 Just a few years ago I was homeless with my dog, who would always settle down on my coat, sleeping bag or any clothes of mine. I think they just feel more comfortable with familiar odours. I so miss her and I'm sure your relationship with your dog (magic) is a lot of the reason I watch your heart warming channel. Cheers, Johnnie.
while I will admit that I'd rather cut off my feet then winter camp, your videos give me a real sense of calm in my not so calm world. My new binge watch. Thank you for your posts. I know the filming and editing are extraordinarily time consuming, and I want you to know that I find comfort in them. My husband has Alzheimers so I cant get out and experience nature like I used to . I appreciate it.
Hey, you can talk about your problems and heartbreaks! I am so sorry for your loss! Monty came in at the right time and he is so awesome! Love that Monty! Prayers for Joe and Scott!
I like this guy he seriously loves his food and looks after his dog in extreme conditions . enjoy the videos . watching you cook has made me hungry lol
Monty is anything BUT camera shy!! As he's gotten older the camera seems to really be his friend. Just such a patient and sweet dog, you have a wonderful relationship with him. Yes, you do treat him like the king that Monty is, but he is so tolerant of his dad, I think it's a fair exchange. Of course I'm going back and looking at the older videos, so I have that in my favor.
I play your videos in the background while I'm working. And I I just wanted to say thank you for telling your story about Hachi. I lost a beloved dog last year. Monty is a lovely collie.
Do you have enough food supply being way out there? Heck, feels like some of my surrounding neighbors are hungry, and I don't even care, or know how to initiate care.
There were stakes and a steak and they all looked great! I learn new skills every video! Thank you for the fire side chat! Dogs are our family and they create serious anxious moments. I think Monty does love his vest.
that depression talk and dog story had me tearing up!!! thanks for spending the time to record your adventures and awesome personality!!! Much love from Ontario! edit: when you said you called the vet asap for , Rupert. I got the biggest smile on my face and laughed! glad you are looking at it as a lesson learned and aren't getting yourself down too much!
Recently dove deep into the hole that is your channel and I don't ever want to go back. Love seeing your pups, and your voice is strangely calming. Keep up the good work man.
Loved this! We need a campfire story every time now!! The story of Hotchy (so sorry, I know I'm spelling it wrong) was very touching and I'm sorry he went through that. Pets are genuine family members and my condolences to Funk and you. I have no doubt he has his doggy angel wings now. Thank you for sharing the story. As for the steak, Monty and you drooling and hovering over the steak was as close to food porn as it gets. lol
Very interesting story about your Alaskan Husky. Very sorry for your loss. I just recently lost Dakota, one of my Great Danes. Dakota and I were very, very close for over seven years. He slept with me every night that I was home, and he would not go to bed without me. He would wait up while I worked on my computer, sometimes until past 7:00 am. Needless to say, I loved him very much. Dakota was the sixth dog that I had to put down in a period of about eleven years. It is NEVER easy. I often still have guilt feelings about having to make the decision to put my dogs down. There were five Great Danes and one Black Labrador. I loved them all, and I still do. I have all of their ashes here at the house. Fortunately, I still have Dakota's brother, Cheyenne, with me, although we are not as close as Dakota and I were yet, but we are working on it! Watching you interact and having fun with Monty is one of the reasons that I enjoy watching your You Tube videos so much. And I have to tell you this .... I am seventy three years old, and I am not ashamed to admit that I cried my eyes out for several days, after having to put Dakota down. He was a family member!
Awesome content as usual!! Keep them coming. I’m pretty sure I can speak on behalf of a lot of the. Vets and say the things you show young/everyone helps in a survival situation for sure!
Hey there Monty! Just discovered your videos recently. Watching a few every day. You are my camping dog hero! I love the ones where you take your human canoeing and camping. Be careful Monty, I worry about bears and other wild critters coming into your camp at night. Stay safe. ❄️
You and Monty are an absolute riot!! I love your videos, some of them I watch two and three times just because after I watch one of your videos I'm happy!!! Thank you for all that you guys do! 😅👍🐾❤️
Matthew, my heart breaks for the loss of Hachi. Our Great Dane, Vail, would have died from bloat after the car trip back from the boarding kennel the day after our move. He was fine and excited when we picked him up (he had never been kenneled before) but started panting and was clearly in distress on the drive home. I pulled onto the shoulder of the highway, thinking he was car sick and needed to get out and vomit. He started heaving, but couldn’t bring anything up. I reached over to soothe him and his body was like a huge, hard basketball. Fortunately for us, the dog breeder had warned us repeatedly about bloat, because his grand sire (a show dog) had died from bloat at age 3. As soon as I touched his side, I knew it was bloat. It was very difficult to get him back in the car, but once I did, I flew down the interstate to the vet’s office. They had never seen Vail before (because of the move) and my hands were shaking trying to fill out paperwork, when what I wanted to do was scream “MY DOG IS DYING!! F)*& the paperwork!” And of course, the people at the vet’s office thought I was some crazy woman and that I was exaggerating the problem. Anyway, his stomach had indeed flipped, they were able to release the pressure and then went in and tacked his stomach in place with sutures. If we had not been with him, he would have certainly died. Please don’t blame yourself; you did everything you knew to do to help him and would have done more if you could. Hachi was a wonderful dog and he knew he was loved. The Dog Treat Song video is a treasure. Thank you for sharing him with us.
I forgot to put this in perspective: This all happened in 1994. Vail lived almost 3 more years. His picture is still on my desk. 22 years later I still miss him. He was a Good Dog. Thanks to Monty and Rueger for providing my “dog fix” on the regular. Oh. I guess I should thank Matthew (and Funk) too, since they make it all possible. 😁
I recently found your channel (about a month ago) and have binge watched many of your videos and I'm now officially a member! I get so much joy out of watching your adventures with the boys! 🐾💕 Thank you for sharing your story. It was heartbreaking to hear and I'm so sorry you and Funk lossed such a special friend 💔😢 And as you said, everything happens for a reason. 🙏 I'm so thankful personally for your videos. You guys have definitely had a huge positve impact on my mental state❣😊
I am so impressed by Monthys disciplin! Sitting right in front of that tempting piece of meat that lays on the ground. Other dogs would have just eaten it...
Thank you for sharing! Losing a member is so difficult. It took me 11 years to feel ready to get a dog again. I've had her for just over a year and we watch your videos together. Love, love seeing you and Monty! Loved his safety outfit. Such a beautiful dog. ❤️❤️ wish you and your family health
He’s enjoys being crazy with his dad. Monty loves being comfy and warm. Blankets are a must all times of year for him. Rosie is the same way when out camping or home. Great job on addressing Show me your steak challenge. That steak looks so good. My dinner tonight is tacos. Ugh.
I'm going to excessive chemo right now I have cancer and your Channel has kept me positive I love it I wish I was out there with you and Monty I'm an old lady don't get me wrong but it's so soothing to watch you and your dog
Yes very sad when you lose a beloved pet, my dog past 8 months ago, she had a lump in her neck, stay up all night with her then she passed away at 4.30 in the morning, called the vet at 9am to come & get her because i had a broken ankle & couldn’t drive, but I cried all night & day, i so miss my Peppa girl so much, not sure if i want to get another dog because she was my world 😪😪😪😪
Hey Posa, I'm just catching up with old videos and your story was amazing and made me cry. I lost my puppy of 3 years to cancer. Just like you I did everything to save him, but he died. I got two other dogs soon after, and recently one of them ate something that gave her bloat. She needed surgery and I was not there to take care of her. A close friend was dog-sitting and saved her. She survived and the worst she has now is a bald spot from the surgery. Thank you for sharing your story and letting me share mine. Brent
A great video again Matthew and sorry to hear about Joe Robinet's dog, Scout. You were right at your comment at his video. And so nice that you putted an orange vest on Monty. Thumbs up from Finland.
It's so admirable that you take your dog everywhere, even camping! I'm sure my precious Abbey would have loved to have gone camping, I lost her in 1/18 to heart failure.😢💕
I just want to say that dreaded day when we lose our beloved pup I know I will want another dog as soon as possible. There is no replacement but it helps heal the heart. Doggies pass and the pain stays with those remaining. I’m glad you guys found Monte. I hope Funk has healed, Hachi has already told everyone how cool his life was. You guys are great dog parents and give them the best life!! Cheers
I find these videos so relaxing. I usually have them in the background when I do homework or when Im trying to fall asleep since I dont like it when it is quiet, just like Monty hahah
I've always been such a fan of your videos but the winter ones are so friggin good! (Maybe because I get to enjoy it at home in the comfort of heat :D) Love it man, thanks!
The Monty Intro is the best thing i have ever seen 😂
Well, its noglas intro...
It should be intro in every video in this channel.
It’s so cute
gotta love monty and ruger
Please, let Monte do more intros. We adore him.
I cannot thank you enough Matthew for sharing your feelings about losing your dog. Your talk meant so much to me. Not long ago I lost another best friend. I'm an old man and have said goodbye to more than one best friend. Thank for saying the words that many of us feel inside when we lose a best companion. And thanks for mentioning Joe and Scout. We are a community of friends.
It will never get easy...
In memory of Hachi, may he always live within your souls and protect your family,
He was special
🥂
This channel should change it's name to "Canine superstar Monty and his human sidekick"
I love how much you love Monty!
Makes me want to get a dog :)
I made nearly the same comment just days ago. I love his love! Even if he is a little a.d.d. ;) :)
Absolutely!
I was just going to comment on that and I see everyone already has. Monty obviously loves Matthew the same way.
When you were sitting by the fire, I felt like me and your subscribers family were there with you around the fire. Right guys ?
Yes!!! Its funny
Margarita DiMichele I could just taste the steak
Yup.
Yes..! I passed you a beer I think..! Lol
Bullseye
I love it when he says "its not very cold out! 32 degrees!"
Thank you for sharing about Hachi and about Monte. Lots of love in their stories and they are both blessed because of your love for them.
There’s almost nothing more painful than losing an animal you love. You “rescued” Monty though and Hatchi’s spirit lives on through him. It’s said that grief is ‘Love with nowhere to go’: enter “Monty the Magnificent”. He “rescued” you back. Very touching story.
Monty have his own sleeping bag wow.appreciate you,my man for taking so much care for your dog.❤❤❤
I have no idea how I come find you, but you have won me over, love love love your adventures, Monty has done well training his pet human😁
sorry very random but i have never seen someone with the same name as me lol
What a coincidence 😉
Man how can you even tell that story without breaking up. Legit wanted to ball listening. So sorry man. Poor little guy. Dogs are such pure souls.
He has such a fun personality. who ever gets him as a dad will have hit the jack pot
I'm over 45 and I'd let him be my dad.
@@mariebernier3076 That was really funny. I just glanced at your comment.. Then I read it again. TeeHee !!
Your better than anything on television.. Glad I found you because i'm getting rid of my dish this month. I could watch you and Monty every day.
For all the people who read the comments before you watch the video, this is my favorite bush craft buddy Matt , he's so awesome ! He is the showstopper of bush crafting ! Keeping it real , very entertaining and makes you laugh . What can I say.. I love the guy !
Yes he difinelty is great and I love how he never gets negitive but sees happy in everything and comes up with amazing solutions to problems he encounters along the way and what can I say about Monty well he's the best, gorgeous dog and such a lovely personality❤
My favorite part out of the trip is when you cook for you and Monty ❤️
Love the Monty intros 😂 “hey guys , Monty here..”
Damn it, you just made me saying out loud
I subscribed just for this dog lol.
Woof woof
Your Hachi story was so poignant. I can certainly understand the guilt; I missed serious symptoms once and the vet couldn’t save my little dog.

Thanks for mentioning Scout and Joe Robinet, I watch his channel all the time. I subscribed to your channel because I love dogs and you're so hilarious at times, thanks for your video 🦊
RIP Scout.
The size of his tomahawk minus the boney handle.
Monty, sitting in that ridiculously adorable orange vest, waiting for his share of the steak: killer cuteness!

"We have only 2 hrs of light left" : Proceeds to mess with Monty for 119 minutes.
Hi matt, i watch your videos every night as i try to close my eyes. Suffering severe insomnia, your peaceful videos are very settleing and monty adds that little extra :) just a real dude, doing real life stuff with his loyal companion :) happy camping fella
Happy to be able to help! I have trouble sleeping sometimes too but I dont think it is quite on the scale of insomnia!

Listening to your story at the camp fire 🥺 thank you for talking about mental health it's so important ❤ to anyone struggling you are not alone!
beautiful story about your sadly passed dog so happy you have wonderful dogs in your life and by your side now also best content as usual, always stay up all night watching your videos
I love listening to precious Monty crunching his food, and he has the cutest Rumper Bumper facing the camera!

Your love for Monty on cam inspires me to always be silly with my dog. 🥰 Thank you for the great talk
I love your videos. You’re good natured and calm. That makes your adventures great and very enjoyable to watch.
Favorite part of your videos is seeing Monty get tucked in before bed. Subscribed!
I'm glad to see Monty is getting all the attention he deserves!
OMG, love this video but made me cry...yes, I woke up with puffy eyes but you still had me laughing!!! And yes, my prayers go out to Joes dog Scout.
I admire the way you care and love Monty. When I’m ready I hope to get my own “Monty” that I can deeply care for... the way you do. These videos are my new favorite thing. Looks like a lot of work and a great pay off. Well wishes from New York. xx
So sorry for your loss xxxx

Hahaha!
love the intro and then seeing monty in a jacket and u have a matching hat just makes my day better.
Monty in a cute outfit. I couldn’t have clicked quicker. Monty is a good boy !
Thanks for sharing your story. Love Monty, he's the best. I enjoy watching him in the background wandering around or just watching you set up camp.
I have watched 6 other "show us your steak" videos. Young man, your's was by far the best.
The campfire story, i can totally relate to. Thank you for opening up and telling the story of your past pooch. You inspire me to go start a camp fire and cook a steak and talk about my mental trauma. Thanks Matt.
My husband and I love your videos. We’ve been binge watching the last day as we’re both home with the flu. Gives us time to catch up! We’re hunkered down with our Sheltie dog who enjoys watching Monty eat bacon cheese burgers and fetch sticks. Love your positive/playful outlook on life! PS: we’re also learning a few things :)
Happy camping!
Monty is a little angel with an old soul.....so loving and so clam....
A very old soul for sure!
Thank you as always Monty and Matt, the video will help me to get through this week as i will be recuperating, I love your camping trips and look forward to every one :) You look great Monty xx
Sweet that you gave into Monty -settling on Your side.💖 Just a few years ago I was homeless with my dog, who would always settle down on my coat, sleeping bag or any clothes of mine.

Thank you for sharing such a deep, personal story with us. So sorry for your loss but i'm so happy you had that time with clearly an amazing dog :)
while I will admit that I'd rather cut off my feet then winter camp, your videos give me a real sense of calm in my not so calm world. My new binge watch. Thank you for your posts.

My husband has Alzheimers so I cant get out and experience nature like I used to . I appreciate it.
Thanks for taking the challenge without the need of a tag. I appreciate your videos a lot!
Hey, you can talk about your problems and heartbreaks! I am so sorry for your loss! Monty came in at the right time and he is so awesome! Love that Monty! Prayers for Joe and Scott!
I like this guy he seriously loves his food and looks after his dog in extreme conditions . enjoy the videos . watching you cook has made me hungry lol

Monty's voice always get an lol
Must he has a sore throat being a Scottish breed he should have a Scottish accent.
Do you have enough food supply being way out there? Heck, feels like some of my surrounding neighbors are hungry, and I don't even care, or know how to initiate care.
There were stakes and a steak and they all looked great! I learn new skills every video! Thank you for the fire side chat! Dogs are our family and they create serious anxious moments. I think Monty does love his vest.
"How do you want your steak, sir?"
"Hatchet sharpened and medium rare, thank you."
that depression talk and dog story had me tearing up!!! thanks for spending the time to record your adventures and awesome personality!!! Much love from Ontario!
edit: when you said you called the vet asap for , Rupert. I got the biggest smile on my face and laughed! glad you are looking at it as a lesson learned and aren't getting yourself down too much!
Recently dove deep into the hole that is your channel and I don't ever want to go back. Love seeing your pups, and your voice is strangely calming. Keep up the good work man.
To us Matthew Posa is the happy go lucky uplift character. Matthew is a real person with heartbreak.
Loved this! We need a campfire story every time now!! The story of Hotchy (so sorry, I know I'm spelling it wrong) was very touching and I'm sorry he went through that. Pets are genuine family members and my condolences to Funk and you. I have no doubt he has his doggy angel wings now. Thank you for sharing the story. As for the steak, Monty and you drooling and hovering over the steak was as close to food porn as it gets. lol
Hahaha! I was moaning too!
Laying in bed lights out on TH-cam and what do I see? An adorable Monty in his vest and hat!! So cute!!! You both are awesome.
Very interesting story about your Alaskan Husky. Very sorry for your loss. I just recently lost Dakota, one of my Great Danes. Dakota and I were very, very close for over seven years. He slept with me every night that I was home, and he would not go to bed without me. He would wait up while I worked on my computer, sometimes until past 7:00 am. Needless to say, I loved him very much. Dakota was the sixth dog that I had to put down in a period of about eleven years. It is NEVER easy. I often still have guilt feelings about having to make the decision to put my dogs down. There were five Great Danes and one Black Labrador. I loved them all, and I still do. I have all of their ashes here at the house. Fortunately, I still have Dakota's brother, Cheyenne, with me, although we are not as close as Dakota and I were yet, but we are working on it! Watching you interact and having fun with Monty is one of the reasons that I enjoy watching your You Tube videos so much. And I have to tell you this .... I am seventy three years old, and I am not ashamed to admit that I cried my eyes out for several days, after having to put Dakota down. He was a family member!
Sorry to hear about that! No it is not! It's true!
William Pysell So sorry about Dakota.😢
In memory of Haichi...... sounds like a wonderful dog. Wouldn't know what I'd do without my baby pup.
Awesome content as usual!! Keep them coming. I’m pretty sure I can speak on behalf of a lot of the. Vets and say the things you show young/everyone helps in a survival situation for sure!
Hey there Monty! Just discovered your videos recently. Watching a few every day. You are my camping dog hero! I love the ones where you take your human canoeing and camping. Be careful Monty, I worry about bears and other wild critters coming into your camp at night. Stay safe. ❄️
You and Monty are an absolute riot!! I love your videos, some of them I watch two and three times just because after I watch one of your videos I'm happy!!! Thank you for all that you guys do! 😅👍🐾❤️
I like how you include Monty in all your conversations, it shows that you really love him. 😘
That's a serious looking pack. Montys a great trail dog. Mine loves to run through the woods at warp speed. Nice camping vid.
My favorite part is seeing you and monty cook and eat!
Matthew, my heart breaks for the loss of Hachi. Our Great Dane, Vail, would have died from bloat after the car trip back from the boarding kennel the day after our move. He was fine and excited when we picked him up (he had never been kenneled before) but started panting and was clearly in distress on the drive home. I pulled onto the shoulder of the highway, thinking he was car sick and needed to get out and vomit. He started heaving, but couldn’t bring anything up. I reached over to soothe him and his body was like a huge, hard basketball. Fortunately for us, the dog breeder had warned us repeatedly about bloat, because his grand sire (a show dog) had died from bloat at age 3. As soon as I touched his side, I knew it was bloat. It was very difficult to get him back in the car, but once I did, I flew down the interstate to the vet’s office. They had never seen Vail before (because of the move) and my hands were shaking trying to fill out paperwork, when what I wanted to do was scream “MY DOG IS DYING!! F)*& the paperwork!” And of course, the people at the vet’s office thought I was some crazy woman and that I was exaggerating the problem. Anyway, his stomach had indeed flipped, they were able to release the pressure and then went in and tacked his stomach in place with sutures. If we had not been with him, he would have certainly died.
Please don’t blame yourself; you did everything you knew to do to help him and would have done more if you could. Hachi was a wonderful dog and he knew he was loved. The Dog Treat Song video is a treasure. Thank you for sharing him with us.
I forgot to put this in perspective: This all happened in 1994. Vail lived almost 3 more years. His picture is still on my desk. 22 years later I still miss him. He was a Good Dog. Thanks to Monty and Rueger for providing my “dog fix” on the regular. Oh. I guess I should thank Matthew (and Funk) too, since they make it all possible. 😁
We lost our 7 year old Akita to bloat, it's horrible. Love Monty and Matt's shenanigans
I recently found your channel (about a month ago) and have binge watched many of your videos and I'm now officially a member! I get so much joy out of watching your adventures with the boys! 🐾💕 Thank you for sharing your story. It was heartbreaking to hear and I'm so sorry you and Funk lossed such a special friend 💔😢 And as you said, everything happens for a reason. 🙏 I'm so thankful personally for your videos. You guys have definitely had a huge positve impact on my mental state❣😊
I am so impressed by Monthys disciplin! Sitting right in front of that tempting piece of meat that lays on the ground. Other dogs would have just eaten it...
I'd be interested in knowing how to teach dog discipline, very cool!
Mawoh , eaten it and been quite unapologetic
I like that you don’t hide your mistakes, we all make em!
Luv watching your little expeditions, please , please keep yourself and your furry babies safe
Thank you for sharing! Losing a member is so difficult. It took me 11 years to feel ready to get a dog again. I've had her for just over a year and we watch your videos together. Love, love seeing you and Monty! Loved his safety outfit. Such a beautiful dog. ❤️❤️ wish you and your family health
Rubs on trees, scrapes on ground where I’m from. Great video, Monty in the blaze orange hat had me laughing
Lately i catch myself cooking dinner with you n monty. Thanks for being so cool.
He’s enjoys being crazy with his dad. Monty loves being comfy and warm. Blankets are a must all times of year for him. Rosie is the same way when out camping or home. Great job on addressing Show me your steak challenge. That steak looks so good. My dinner tonight is tacos. Ugh.
I'm going to excessive chemo right now I have cancer and your Channel has kept me positive I love it I wish I was out there with you and Monty I'm an old lady don't get me wrong but it's so soothing to watch you and your dog
I am happy to help keep you positive! I wish you the best of luck!
Yes very sad when you lose a beloved pet, my dog past 8 months ago, she had a lump in her neck, stay up all night with her then she passed away at 4.30 in the morning, called the vet at 9am to come & get her because i had a broken ankle & couldn’t drive, but I cried all night & day, i so miss my Peppa girl so much, not sure if i want to get another dog because she was my world 😪😪😪😪
Hey Posa,
I'm just catching up with old videos and your story was amazing and made me cry.
I lost my puppy of 3 years to cancer. Just like you I did everything to save him, but he died.
I got two other dogs soon after, and recently one of them ate something that gave her bloat. She needed surgery and I was not there to take care of her. A close friend was dog-sitting and saved her.
She survived and the worst she has now is a bald spot from the surgery.
Thank you for sharing your story and letting me share mine.
Brent
It was cool to see you talk about mental health, very refreshing.
A great video again Matthew and sorry to hear about Joe Robinet's dog, Scout. You were right at your comment at his video. And so nice that you putted an orange vest on Monty. Thumbs up from Finland.
As always Matthew - you put a smile on My face! :D
I have insomnia for the past couple years an ur videos has help me sleep for these past weeks thanks
One of the covenant aspects of your videos is that I can grab a snack, take a pee and return without having missed much.
It's so admirable that you take your dog everywhere, even camping! I'm sure my precious Abbey would have loved to have gone camping, I lost her in 1/18 to heart failure.😢💕
I am sorry to hear that!
Wow! Nice ! Sir.and Monty he is happy. Good luck.
I just want to say that dreaded day when we lose our beloved pup I know I will want another dog as soon as possible. There is no replacement but it helps heal the heart. Doggies pass and the pain stays with those remaining. I’m glad you guys found Monte. I hope Funk has healed, Hachi has already told everyone how cool his life was. You guys are great dog parents and give them the best life!! Cheers
I find these videos so relaxing. I usually have them in the background when I do homework or when Im trying to fall asleep since I dont like it when it is quiet, just like Monty hahah
Blessing to you Matthew and Monty always
I've always been such a fan of your videos but the winter ones are so friggin good! (Maybe because I get to enjoy it at home in the comfort of heat :D) Love it man, thanks!
So sorry about the loss of your fur baby. Monty is a blessing and adorable
He sure is!
This might just be the best video you have ever made. Great content, great meal, and a good long time to enjoy the whole thing with you and Monty!
Dude, I love the moments of ASMR, like at 1 hour, when you filmed the fire.
