    You gave Koji a wonderful foster home when he most needed a safe place to land. Livestock guardian dogs can be tough that way, they will protect a homestead with their life, but they get out of sorts when they have to leave. What a lovely family you found to adopt him and now you have new friends as well!! I wouldn't sweat the trip - I think it's meant to be just a special trip for you and your grandma.

    I don't get it! Why not just have the friends "dog sit" when you go on longer trips? I feel badly for Koji, he may feel just tossed away again. We have a kitty who was passed around to 3 other houses before landing with us his 4th. He refuses so come out when anyone comes around. He doesn't want to be "taken" 😿

    Koji is a large guardian breed which means he needs to and wants to guard a home and it’s surroundings. It’s his job and it’s what he is genetically programmed to do. I laughed seeing his paws hang over the steps as they will usually dig a hole and hang their paws in it while they lay on the ground. I’m a Maremma Mum so I fully understand your thought process. You have made a fantastic decision for him even though your heart is breaking. I’m sending you big hugs and letting you know that you’re going to be ok and so is Koji. From Jodie in Melbourne Australia. ❤️💐

    When you took him in I thought you were just going to get into trouble, He is big and old and with your life's ideas I immediately saw you would get into trouble, You really should have thought before you saved him and gave rico a friend, Because she will be a big loser in this too, And 2 months is enough for Kogi to have attached himself to you and now has to go back in and find peace with other people and dogs, he will get stressed and definitely have a hard time, A dog have feelings and don't believe we always know what is best. You have to think that children in the future will also put many restrictions on you throughout life. Especially when they have to go to school and have friends, You can't do everything you want all the time, It's responsibility and obligation. Felt very sad for Kogi and Rico. Hope this will be a lesson for you and not just decide such totally responsible matters overnight, but review the pros and cons. And you shouldn't visit him for the time being, it will make him confused, He needs to know you are now gone and only come to visit, Yes, life requires a lot and remember we choose how much responsibility we want to take on, You can't play with living creatures according to what pleases one in the moment and just throw it away as garbage. After all he got a home and not a cage in a shelter, God bless Kogi,🙏❤

    Don't go and visit him. It will just confuse him and Koji. Haven't you considered getting a house sitter to stay with him when you go on your long trips or even let him stay with the two girls you've placed him with? That way, they have quality time with him and he gets to come back to his home from a nice vacation and will be glad to see you. Think on it.

    Poor heartbroken Koji. He found family with you and Rio. I'm really disappointed because I know you're a good person but you should never ever consider adopting another dog. It isn't fair to the dog or to Rio, who will also be heartbroken at losing her companion. The worst part is how you made yourself out to be the heartbroken one. I bet Koji cried more than you did. I'm sorry but I just don't understand how "letting go" is a good thing in this instance.

      This is so so true, I also have worked with rescues, do fostering, and people don’t realise how confused and stressed the dogs get, they go through confusion of being in a difficult environment and not with their family, so they are grieving the loss of the family they had know, now he gets attached to a new Mumma and fur sister and settles into his new life and bang it changes again, he has too get used to both new humans AND other dogs. I am sorry I am not meaning to be rude at all, but we take on these animals and they are OUR responsibility, they don’t get to say anything, they depend on us and when we take them in we take them in for their life time. I have had to move lots of times due to domestic violence but it has never been a question that I wouldn’t take my girl with me, I just kept looking for places to rent that allowed dogs.

As long as there is love, a wide open space, and that nice big porch, food and water; he will adjust 💯%. Animals are resilient. Some kids don't even have a home and open space that nice to play in.

    When you talked about getting Koji's DNA tested in the first video after you got him, you already had a clear idea of what breed he was - Maremma or Great Pyrenee. I believe you researched those breeds. And now that you've all beautifully bonded, you're rehoming the poor guy because - surprise! - he has the temperament of a Maremma or Great Pyrenee.
    "He just wants to be a porch dog"? No, he's being the good livestock guardian dog you picked out of tens of thousands of shelter dogs that may have been more suitable for your lifestyle, whatever that means.
    You bought a homestead to renovate that you're not renovating, you invited people on a trip you're not taking, you adopted an abandoned dog only to re-abandon him, and your pretense for not committing, not following through, not taking on responsibilities, not adulting, is this repetitive pseudo-deep, pseudo-philosophical blah about life and love and how everything should only ever be about you and your happiness only.

And by putting his happiness first you were able to take back your own life and make it the way you want regardless of what others say. That is power. Congrats, heres to new beginnings

    The posts on here are exactly why the shelters are overflowing with dogs. It isnt "brave" or "selfless" to give up on a dog because you didnt think it out beforehand. Thankfully, the new couple stepped up to take the dog in, but there is no guarantee he gets to stay in that home. And, dogs bond with their people, their home and other dogs. Adopting a dog is for life not for a few videos. Be an adult and figure out what fits in your life before you take the step to bring a dog into your life.

      Agree. This is why you do your research on the breed you are bringing into your home. Genetics matter. Any little bit of research on this breed should have told her it was not going to be the right fit. It’s not selfless to not research and think it through then have to uproot the dog, it’s selfish to not think it through before you adopt an animal.

    Hey Lyss, this was a tough one. Kogi has the spirit of an older dog. He seems to be done with the running, rolling and chasing everything that runs through the yard. Like you said, the wanderlust isn’t his thing. That being said, it’s not easy giving up a fuzzy buddy, but I think you did the right thing… and even if you realized the challenge of him was too much for you, you still did the right thing. He’ll be happy on that spectacular porch. Also, don’t let the big Alaska plans discourage you, the fact that your still going with your grand is the most important thing anyway.
    ~ I really like how you often turn to poetry for answers. There is comfort in hearing emotional sensitivity, knowing you’re not alone. The pain will still happen, but you, like the poet, will get through it okay. ✌🏼❤️

    To be a good person, responsibilty is a big part of it. Just like you purchased a home and you take care of it because you are responsible. Taking on a dog means being responsible and just because he may not fit into your lifestyle at the moment, that is fine, find someone to take care of him when you are gone. You brought him in, made him happy with a companion and then you just plain dump him. Yes, dump him. Maybe they are good people, hopefully they are but dogs have feelings too. The amount of stress you placed on Koji and not being around Rio is just not forgiveable. Learn something and grown up! My guess is, you will lose, based upon a short statistical analysis here, at least 10 to 15 percent of your subscibers.... too bad you are NOT responsible.... You can dream up all sorts of words about knowing when to let go but nope, you have no excuse. You did not lose your home, your income, your truck, your RV, you lost nothing.....Sympathy is for people hurting and you only hurt Koji and I am sure Rio too. Sorry about this and really sorry for Koji.

Ultimately you DO know what’s best for your life. Don’t let the people with strong opinions and closed minds get to you with their words. You did the right thing, even though it was heartbreaking. That’s admirable ❤❤ you and too will find another buddy. There’s tons of doggos that need the right home for them.

    That’s really hard. As you explained it, I was like “Dang. That’s such a shame.” It must’ve been so hard to do that. Maybe you were more like his foster mom. Unlike most foster moms, though, you’ll be able to see him fairly often. What you did is what fosters do: take them into a home situation, love on them, then find them the best home that will work for the dog and his personality. It’s not easy at all, but you’re wonderful for realizing this, and not leaving him with just anyone. I wanted to hug you when you broke down crying. It’s hard, and there are a LOT of feelings to sort through.

Not many people can do that. I see what you did and hope that more people can learn from you and be strong enough to let go rather than cling to something so much as to over look the consequences.

    It broke my heart to watch you be sad and love enough to let go. This video happened on me at the perfect time. I have had a foster kitten since July 4th week-end and I have grown to love him so much. He has the most amusing personality, he's so smart, beautiful and the softest fur. He's a Utopia Bengal with the most unique markings. I've had cats my entire life and a rescue 15 years ago. Some of the cats that remain are all over 11 years old and I'm 73. It wouldn't be fair to the adorable kitten, to me or my adult cats to keep him. If he happened upon us 10 years ago, there would be no doubt I'd keep him. I call him KitTen because it's not fair to name him. If I was able to keep him, I would name him Marcel after the wonderful mime Marcel Marceau. He'll be going to a Cat Rescue next week who will screen and find a furever home for him. Even though I know it's for the best, it will be sad. So - thank you for making this video and sharing.
