The Story Of Phil | Forever Missed Always Loved

- It has been 1 month since we lost our boy. They say time is a healer but really all it does is soften the blow. Whilst we are honoured to have the opportunity to have shared his life with you all and can never take from the positive impact it has had on so so many, it times like this you wish you could escape from it. Having to share our grief with the world draws up raw emotion again and feels like starting over. That being said, the true reality and impact that a solitude dog has is apparent in all your thoughts prayers and well wishes and we thank you all for your support. Phil was definitely unique in many qualities you've all recognised. He was a human in dog form, so emotional. He spread happiness wherever he went despite his own troubles. He grew more and more a fan base as the years went on and he did himself and us as his family proud. He was a happy boy, a good boy, the goodest in fact and in his time of slumber he remained that way.
Degenerative mylepothy was diagnosed only by process of elimination. There is no test for it here in the UK it's too invasive. Phil wasn't in pain from it. What I've tried to get across in the video is that though this was degenarative, we were never pointed in this direction or hinted of a possibility or even had knowledge of the same. As such it went amiss with arthritis and old age which is typical of the condition. Phil had collapsed, his rear legs were unresponsive and whilst shane managed to effectively wheelbarrow him to go to the toilet he refused as of course the position umcomfortable. Swapping hand to support him under his stomach he wouldn't go either due to the pressure. Phil went to the toilet 10x more than the others, he would drink a litre then go to the toilet for a long time on account of cushings, he had no schedule despite being fed the same time every day it wasn't something we could control. The next morning his front legs had gone too, he wouldn't bear any weight at all. Shane hoisted him by wrapping two pairs of trousers under his hips and front legs to try and lift him to the grass. He wouldn't go and by this time he would have normally gone to the toilet 3 or 4 times. Phil was a big dog, he weighed a lot and there was no feasable way to determine when he wanted to drink or go to the toilet let alone help him. Wheelchairs were out of the question as he had no use of legs. At the vets a long way away they tried to express bladder and couldn't, a catheter was the only way and it could stay for a maximum 5 days. We couldn't do anything Phil was crying from discomfort not pain. He refused to go to the toilet lay down in his own bed too proud, as ever all he wanted to do was be a good boy.
We held him, thanked him, talked to him, told him we loved him and that we were proud of him and watched him go to sleep as we continued to praise him.
Unity Until we meet again Phil, you'll always be in our hearts, rest easy. x
Phil's book

I am a 66 year old man. Every time i see the Life With Malamutes heading, I start bawling for my boy Philly Bear all over again! "Bath?! I don't need no stinkin' bath!" Run with the wind Phil!
He hated that bath
I’m 75, had cats all my life and unfortunately had to make that hard decision way too many times. Our pets are lucky because we CAN make that decision to allow them to leave us pain free and with dignity. You did your best and tried everything. Phil had the BEST family ever. Don’t beat yourselves up.
Realy sorry for phil we loved him wish your family well love from london
I cry too !!! 😢
Didn’t Teddy start disliking the bath also - he had to be carried in by Shane once or twice? Wish Emma would do Teddy having a bath videos too.
One last time, let’s revisit one of Phil’s best moments for old time’s sake:
“Phil, don’t woof.”
“AWOOF!”
♥️
😢😢😊😊
AWOOF
❤
🥰
❤❤❤❤
Darling, you gave that wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful animal a great life and don't you dare second guess whether you should've done this or should've done that! Phil is EPIC, now and forever! As long as you loved him as much as he loved you then, life and death did it's thing and there's nothing any of us can do about it. ****BIG HUGS****
Sooo true everything you said.
A sentiment shared by all of us. Phil was here on earth to bring a lot of joy… but more importantly he was a part of you and your family and you will forever hold him in your heart. The grief is palpable … I feel for you all💔💔
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." -Winnie The Pooh. ❤❤
Loved so so much & the best life❤❤❤❤
I can’t imagine your pain,it’s why I can’t bless you & heal in your own time,it’s heartbreaking ❤❤❤
❤❤❤
Phill meant a lot to me...use to watch him during my cancer treatment...i cried so much when i found Phill is gone...RIP Phill
Yes he meant a lot to me too , I have been watching him since day one, obviously didn’t know how he helped me through a life changing trauma, all these years......miss our special Philly Bear x
I hear you both. He helped me through the loss of my mom.
Same here
I also watched philly bear throughout cancer treatment. Loved him so much...sleep well Phil
This whole family helped me through my trauma of abuse. I’m over a year free now. Rebuilding my life. Again.🙏✨❤️ Godbless this family. Thank you
All.❤️💥💥💕
You gave him a damn good life. You loved him unconditionally. He was LOVED. We are here for you.... ❤
@TornSparrow1974 He was the King of the house Ole Philly Bear
Yes!
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🐾🐾
That's how i discovered this channel
Take your time, grieve him, miss him. There is no timetable for grief. You’ll always love him!
We’ll all miss beautiful Phil ❤
Goodbye Phil, you were an amazing dog and brought joy not only to your loving family, but to many of us around the world. You shall be missed, but I wish you peace.
This was such a Beautiful tribute to Phil 💖 I got more emotional when Phil passed away then my own cousin recently, because I felt closer to Phil watching my favorite channel Life with Malumutes everyday then l spent with my late cousin.
@@trevorcarey3997I’m 74 and have lost many people. 18months ago I lost my beloved Siberian Husky. I regimes him aged 5 and had 9 glorious years with him. No loss has had as great an impact as losing him. He was why I got out of bed each day. Now, this old lady sends heartfelt thoughts to anyone who is feeling the same pain. Sleep peacefully, Philly Bear. ❤
@@trevorcarey3997I agree with u 100% take it one day at a time. Everyone grief at their own peace.
I've never been so emotional and heartbroken 💔 about a dog that I've never met, he was a beautiful and loving dog
@@nicholc7300 I know. Since losing my fur buddy I watch so many dog channels and I’m so attached to them. I’ve opened myself to more upset. I send my best wishes to you and thank you for your comment. We’re not alone in loving a dog we’ve never met. 🌼
Milo loved Phil and He misses him too and so does Niko and Teddy, Phil was an amazing awesome big brother and knows when to be in charge with the group. Phil had lived his life to the fullest with lots of love ❤️ 🐶❤️🐕
Milo never had fights with Phil they were best pals
I am so, so sorry to read this, please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your beloved Phil, as you know he is out of any pain and discomfort now and is over Rainbow Bridge with many friends who have gone before. Sending hugs for you all. Juls 💝💝💝 XX
Milo did love Phil for sure. Always there for the bath routine. Poor Milo😢
Yes, indeed
Phil!!! King/Emperor of Malamutes. RIP.
I'm so sorry that Phil had to cross the rainbow bridge, but I know he had a good life and he will always be loved and missed
Also, I read what Phil had was like human ALS, what Stephen Hawkings had. Nothing you could've done. He would've suffered, you made the best decision for Phil.
Stop second guessing yourself. You and Shane could not have done more. Thank you for letting us travel with you on Phil's journey.
RIP Phil, send us all a big "WOOF!" from up above.
I love that 😊
😊
I hear that "WOOF!" in a british accent.
I will always remember that special woof ! 🐕🐾
Philly Bear’s WOOF is now echoing all around the world from above.........x ❤️🇬🇧
Emma, you and Shane gave Phil a wonderful life that every dog would wish for. It is always difficult to lose a family member. Phil will always be in your heart and will always be remembered.
Phil was a legendary dog. Like a teddy bear brought to life. He had nothing but love in his heart. ❤
Well, maybe biscuits too?😊💖
Love and biscuits, that's Phil 😁
Don’t apologize for anything, you and your family(hooman & fur) are top priority. Grieve as long as you need, don’t respond to comments as it’ll make it all so much harder & maybe don’t even read them till much further down the road. Know we all loved Phil & know you did everything & more for him. My heart goes out to you guys. Years ago my dog woke up w/his legs not working & we too had to make the difficult decision. Thoughts & prayers are with you guys. And commenters, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything. Give these guys space.
I hope Philly Bear knew how many lives he touched over these past few years. We all miss him so much.
To the Matthews family. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for sharing such an amazingly awesome Old Man Philly Bear. He will truly always be missed. I truly believe that he made all the people in the world who were honored to watch him genuinely happy and made us all smile. Continue to R.I.P. my old friend. With Love from the U.S.A
💖Yes, he did make us smile.
Love from Canada and Germany to his special family. 💖🌍
Watching cute dogs from afar can and does bring smile but it can NOT make someone ''genuinely happy''. Some of us struggle with illness, trauma, war etcetera. Don't throw these words around and don't speak for everyone.
Very eloquent and aptly said! Thank you for expressing what I am also feeling about losing Philly Bear. I feel very honoured to have known him all these years through the videos. I send all love and bless xoxo
@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 well, Philly Bear made me and MANY others GENUINELY happy, maybe you have never experienced the love of a companion animal. That is your loss. The OP posted a heartfelt message of compassion and understanding. He said nothing to warrant your wrath of offense. Please seek therapy rather than attack the kindness of strangers
@@token555Thank you for your comment...bc I was about to comment something a whole less nicer than you did.
Emma, please don't second guess anything you did for the last few months of Phil's life. You were a stellar mum to Phil. You did the right thing by deciding on quality of life. Between June , and June of 1983, my dad, mom and 19 y/o sister passed. Things were so chaotic and I never took time to grieve. But, once I had my first dog, I somehow knew things would be different. I was obsessed with him. As a single, full-time working mom, my free time was totally absorbed with my child and youngest sister, but my Nikko was my heart's delight. And, there have been a total of seven who have been called home by their Creator. Dwelling too much on their losses, causes me to sob. So, I try to re.ind myself that we will all be together someday . Just as you will be with Phil!❤❤❤❤
I can’t watch this without crying, because i’ve been following you guys from like 5 years ago, i noticed time to time Phil started getting ill. What a wonderful soul, Phil will always be missed. Losing Phil is like heartbreak that won’t go away.
I had to grab a glass of whiskey to sit through this video. I can't imagine how bad you must feel. Rest in peace Phil.
I am sobbing. Sweet Phil. You both gave him a wonderful life!!!
Me too...and I wonder about Milo and everyone...💔
Even now when I watch a back video of our special Philly Bear I am in tears.........x 💔❤️🇬🇧
Milo is grieving same as you, he misses his brother. It will take a lot of time for all of you. Phil really was your first child
Phil will be the brightest star in the sky, he will always be remembered, forever missed and forever be the dog that hated baths, taught us how to wear a mask correctly during covid and showed us love no matter how he was feeling, Emma and Shane thank you for letting the world be apart of Phil’s life x
I miss Phil so much! He was the reason I followed this channel.
Me too.
Me too😢
Me too...but I found another reason to continue...Phil's loving family❣😘
@@sonjagatto9981Yes, great family❤
Yo tambien 😢
He will be so missed he was one in a million and there will never be another Philly bear anywhere in the world I loved watching your videos.
Loved? They are still posting videos, there are still lovely dogs and cats here.
Neither grief nor love has a time limit. Sleep easy in the arms of angels Phil. You are loved, and you are missed. Blessed be.
❤❤❤❤❤❤💔💔
Please post old videos of Phil once in a while. The expression on his face was always priceless. It will keep him alive for all of your viewers who adored him. I will forever have a smile on my face when I picture his ecstatic joy upon seeing the grandparents. And nothing beats his “oh no” when fighting to not get into the tub. A lifetime of memories.
They have been posting some old ones
Would be good if they continue at times.
I can easily visualise/imagine Phil smiling 😊 & looking down at all of us from heaven, his fur fully restored and he singing this song for all of us, song from the 2017 Pixar Animation movie COCO, originally sung by Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal -
"Remember me though I have to say goodbye. 👋
Remember me, don't let it make you cry. 😢
For even if I'm far away, I hold you in my heart ❤️
I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart. 💔
Remember me though I have to travel far.
Remember me each time you hear a sad guitar 🎸
Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be
Until you're in my arms again.
Remember Me."
💕
Philly Bear was an angel in fur. Now he's an angel with wings, flying high on the other side of the rainbow bridge, known as heaven. :)
There are no words to make things feel better or easier. But know that there are people who feel the same in one way or another, as I am one of them. Dogs are more than just pets .... they are family!
🙏🏼 🐶 ❤
Absolutely!🐾💞 Well said.
Well Said
Little did you know the effect that one dog would have on so many people ❤ I'm sure in time Milo will come around, he needs to grieve to. God bless you and your family and thank you for sharing Phil with us 🌹🙏🌹
I'm so sorry. I lost my 16 year old dog on December 4th and I know it just shatters your heart.
Sorry for your loss.
It never gets easier
You get so attached
I’m sorry. 😞
Wow you had 16yrs with your dog..that's sooo absolutely beautiful and amazing. So very sorry for your loss💔
❤ An angel with 4 paws walked the earth Philly bear he will always be missed,remembered and loved. ❤ Good boy, gained his wings, a precious soul who blessed the earth with his presence ❤❤ Rest in peace precious Philly bear you are soo loved. God bless you all, know we grieve with you all over the world. All the best to you all. Bless sweet Mia, she loved Phil, and Phil loved her❤❤❤
So proud of you Emma for facing the camera and telling us all about the heartbreak of losing your precious Phil 😢He was the very best and has given us all such wonderful memories to keep forever. God bless you and all your family as you try to get through this terrible grief!! We are all here for you.. Rest in Peace sweet adorable Philly bear 💔💔💔xx
That was very brave Emma❤ finally all the answers I or We needed thank you for that. It's difficult because Phil was immensely loved therefore difficult to hide for the Family. But what you did was the right. thing. Couldn't watch it entirely to emotional 😢😢but will later. Emma❤❤❤❤
The grief will never leave but life will grow around it. As I have said before, you all will see Phillip again.❤😢
Rip Emperor Phil of all Malamutes. The goodest of boys. Godspeed 🫡
If you see them, say hi to Peanut and Pippin for me.
Beautiful comments.😢
@@cq9882 Thanks. 👍
I am so sorry 😢. You guys must be heart sick. I'm heart sick. I felt part of Phil's life and thank you for sharing him with the world. I can absolutely hear the heart break in your voice. Sending you all my love 💓
Donna in Canberra
Thank you for giving Phil the life he deserved. Literally no other family in the world could of done as good as a job as you guys.
I've walked these shoes, the pain never goes, and yes, this loss is so much harder than people, but you remember the love your precious pet gave you and you will give your love to another pet. There was only 1 Phil, we all loved him and thank you so much for sharing his life with us, and wish you peace and solace. Love to your family ❤
Phil will be forever missed❤❤ he was a big softie and full of love
Phil was special. RIP.
Phil was your first dog when you moved in together. Isn't it? Indeed, he went through all these years with you, participated in all the important events in your life, gave you his love and kindness, and was your faithful friend. It’s very hard when everything around reminds you of him. You’ve lived so much together with Phil.
My cat Peach died 18 years ago, and every time I look at his portrait, I remember so many joyful days and one of the hardest ones when my beloved cat passed away.
Dear Matthews, hold on! From heaven Phil will be always happy for his mom and dad, sisters and brothers whom he loved so much. RIP old boy, love you 🩶
Philly Bear is so magnificent.....
We all love him and miss him...praying God will help you through this time of grief...Philly Bear is in heaven playing and WOOFING...miss you so much Phil!! ❤
I miss Phil.
RIP to king Phil 👑
My first memory of Phil was the video you did of him called Giant Dog Refusing To Take Bath. Watching Phil trying trying to outsmart Shane to avoid that bath was what endeared me to him. Phil was so big, fluffy, beautiful, and full of personality that I had to keep watching. Years later, when I saw the thumb of that video...When Tomorrow Starts Without Me, I cried with you and prayed blessings for your family because I felt and understood your grief. I'm sure you know that you are blessed to have such a wonderful family, including all these amazing animals.
People will come and go, and they do change up on you over time... But, your dog is always happy to see you, always by your side, always on your side. Sad, but that's not a statement one can make about most people one knows.
Thyroid disease and inherited polyneuropathy are very common in Phil's breed. The first condition is treatable, but the second one is not. Sadly, unethical veterinarians all know this, but they will keep taking your money and misdirecting you anyway. Long ago, when you first mentioned Phil's symptoms I tried to post this but there were always so many comments on your videos that mine probably got buried. All dog breeds have certain health susceptibilities especially once they get past a certain age. You did the right thing to avoid putting Phil under anesthesia for high-risk surgical procedures. These are expensive and guarantee nothing. If it ever comes down to quality of life issues from old age and/or disease, the right and ethical choice is always to show them love and allow them to enter peacefully into rest without suffering.
There are no words that will make you feel better about losing Phil, and time won't make the memory of him fade away. Some things are simply forever. You gave Phil an amazing life, and he knew it. You were a part of him, and he is always going to be a part of you. Some people never get to experience love and affection at this level. It is a beautiful thing!
What lovely words. I lost my first dog, a gorgeous fawn chow chow aged only 6 to stomach cancer. She died just 3 months after my mum died when I was 16. It was unbelievably heartbreaking. I always wanted another chow but I worked strange hours, often had to travel and couldn't rely on anyone else to look after it in the daytime. 45 years later, now retired, I've adopted a mini cavapoo and she has got my heart. She has alot of health issues being born without a tail, a malformed spine amongst them but she is on good pain meds. She is just the friendliest little dog, always greets humans like they are her best friends, she is a joy to be with. She is not just a dog to me but my little companion, my loyal friend. I swear she can understand everything I say to her, even my mates say she is like a mini me in a furry body😂. I loved watching Phil and his family during the dark days of covid and bingewatched as many episodes as I could. Don't have as much time nowadays having my own little fluff so try and catch up when I can. To me dogs are an important part of my life and if anyone doesn't want to see me because of her then unfortunately for them, she will always take priority.
That's the one that I saw with my mom. She isn't an animal lover but Phil made her laugh. I'll never forget how she laughed. My Phil we love you and we miss you. ♥
You've made me cry 😥🙈😭😭😭 God Bless You 🤲🏻❤
Ohh, honey, just know we all wish we could give you a big hug. You're such a loving soul and the best mum (pet and human!). Cannot even imagine how you're coping feeling the emptiness. I'm so glad you have the support and love you do. From pets and humans! Take care, luv.😘
Again, my dearest condolences to you and the rest of the family for your painful experience with what happened to Phil and your tragic loss. I only hope that you all continue to heal and that your warm happy memories keep him alive inside your hearts, just like the many videos you've made with him over the years.
Phil was a wonderful dog. Thank you for sharing him with us. He brought so much joy and happiness to the world. He made us laugh and he cheered us up when we were having down days. I loved watching all of your videos of him and the other dogs and cats. We will never forget the legacy left by Phil. Rest in Peace Phil. We love him so much. We will miss him.
All hail the King. Philly bear will never be forgotten. Your lovely family is an inspiration and source of joy.
You and your family did everything that you could to give Phil his best life. Thank you for sharing the good Life with Malamutes with us!!
Phil is always with you.
Miss you Phil so much you brightened my day ❤ thank you again for sharing Phil with us
Emma, my heart aches for you and your family. Again thank you for sharing your wonderful phil with us. ❤
Phil was old before his time, but that time was spent with wonderful humans. He is telling all the beloved pets across the Rainbow Bridge you were the best. Our pets rely on us to make that decision to put an end to an existence that is simply that...an existence with no genuine joy due to ill health.
Phil had a long, beautiful life, and it was all thanks to you and your family. Thank you for taking such good care of him up until his final moments, and thank you for sharing him with the world. I will never forget Philly Bear, he was so special and so loved. Best dog in the world.
ETA: Okay, I started crying when you talked about Teddy stepping into Phil's spot as the howler. Good boy, Teddy. 😢❤
I have been waiting for this. Don't bury him because if you move, unless you intend to dig him up, you will leave him behind. Have a look at gone to the snow dogs, they have lost 3 dogs and Jess has their ashes in urns so that if they move, their dogs go with them.
My parents (now gone) lived in 6 different houses over many years. There's a dog buried in the back garden of every one.
I agree. My cats are buried at our old place. I wish I had them with me. My did always say it was the home where they had been the happiest.
I'm crying again and can't hold back my tears 💔 I miss you Phill Bear❤❤❤❤Phil was the heart and soul of the family. He was the best malamute ever.Emma is the most painful for you. Phil has spent a lifetime with you. He had a wonderful life.
It was so sad to see you cry 😢 I am sure Phil is in heaven and will watch over you all. He will be looking down loving you for the amazing kindness
you showed him here on earth. And for loving him more than yourselves and letting him go to heaven to be at peace. ❤❤
Philly Bear 😢🙏 RIP in heaven sweet boy
Thank you for sharing of your loss pf Phil. He was precious. Just take care of yourselves. You are a lovely family. God bless from New Zealand.
Phil will protect your family from heaven forever!🙏🌈😘💝
The news of Phil ABSOLUTELY BROKE us. So we FULLY understand the huge hole the lack of his presences leaves. The full time love you all have and have him- know that his life with you all only knew love and pure joy, even through all his pain, his face always lite up around all of you. Take solace in knowing his is running and playing, jumping around free of pain and free of disabilities and will be waiting to greet you with that great Phil smile. He loved you all deeply and everlastingly. Please be well and stay as loving as you are as a family unit/ pack. Look Milo close, he is indeed grieving the only way he knows how.
We all thank you for sharing Phil with us over the years. I know for me and so many comments over the years from others, that Phil has given so many of us a little joy in our days. more than once when I had a bad day Phil was the one to calm my mind before I went to bed at night.
Know in your heart that Phil is forever running above, trying to keep up with you and your family, watching over you to make sure you're safe!
Pease and love to you and yours ❤️🙏❤️
We were so glad to know him. What a treasure. A true member of the family.
My Condolences to your family he was a beautiful gentle boy RIP Phil 😪
Emma, please don't feel that you need to explain to any of us why or how your decision was made. It was an act of kindness and love and true compassion.

Thank you for sharing Phil with all of us. Bless your heart....

Im sure he was pleased that you guys were there by his side during his last moments here on earth. RIP philly bear. i live in california and he alwasy put a smile on my face.
I loved Philly 🐻 bear very much and I missed him! He was the best dog ever! RIP Philly bear! Many hugs and kisses from Greece 💙💙💙💙💙
In a Discord server I manage, it has a Soundboard audio clip of Phil's signature "Woof!" from his most viral video. There's a lot of joy that simple "woof" brings.
Phil will live on in our hearts.❤
Легенда 💫Филл, ты был замечательный и самый лучший пес, здоровяк с добрым сердцем. В него нельзя было не влюбиться с первого взгляда 💘❤❤❤ Эта грусть и печаль, которая не пройдет никогда.😥Но мы будем его помнить таким замечательным, забавным и потрясающим плюшевым мальчиком.
🐻☁️☁️☁️🌈🌈🌈 медвежонок, несомненно ты на радужном мосту в молочном баре🍦🍦🍨🍧🍧🍨🍦🍦🍩🍪🍦🍨
Мистер Филл любитель мороженного ❤❤❤😊
Phil.. Even though i don't watch your videos regularly , i always used to check periodically for phil.. Loved him... Love all of them... But Phil was always special. You gave him the best life possible ❤️🙏
Hi Emma, please take all your time to heal. Me and my mom started following your videos since the beginning of COVID starting with Phil’s bath videos❤, my mom wasn’t a dog lover but she fell in love with Phil after all the videos and since then we got hooked to your channel. Phil has the most amazing personality, has always been a security blanket to everyone, he is an angel dog❤ he was so loved by the world. We love your family, and we are all here for you.
Cried through all of this along with Emma-Leigh. Phil was the best boy ever, and we will always adore him.
I am so sorry about Phil. I lost my dog 2 years ago and it is still painful. I had him for 14 years. God bless you and your family for taking such good care of Phil. My prayers are with you and your family ❤
Thanks for this, honestly grief is a very complicated process with a lot of up and downhills (I lost my parents in Nov23 and Mar24). Time will allow you to heal but the unconditional love you have for each other will never fade away, hope the best for all your family.
I loved Phil so much ❤
He was absolutely unique, he was an angel.
His smile and gentleness allowed me to survive difficult moments.
After His death, I couldn't stop crying.. 😢 🖤
I think about Him every day.
Greetings to you from Poland 🇵🇱
Phil was so loved. He will be missed. He can now rest easy and watch over you all. Philly Bear in heaven eating ice cream love❤
Phil had the most wonderful life. You did him proud to his last breath. Expect to be bowled over when you meet up again at the Rainbow Bridge. Run free Phil.
Thank you for talking about it. We're all just right here. I figured that Milo would be the most upset. And you and Amelia. You've done an excellent job all of the way around. Niko and Teddy might be waiting for him to come back. It never stops. His nails clicking on the floor. Oh just let your heart remember. There's no reason why we lose our dreams. He'll always be there in your heart. The jewelry is a great idea.
Emma, your ability to re-live all of this to explain to us is….i don’t even know how you did this.
You’re an amazing mom, for all you babies.
Thank you for sharing your life with those of us who, for whatever reason, can’t have dogs, cats, children.
It means the world. Your pain is my pain.
Thank you so much.
Heal. You loved him well!!!
The world loves your family.
Phil was a very handsom boy I know how much he is missed as I lost my budgie 6 days ago and miss her so much. You never forget your pets whatever pet you have rip Phil and my mindy. I understand that empty feeling
All your dogs are special but Phil was extra special.
I'll miss Phil's smiling, happy face. Like most of your viewers, I felt like Phil was a friend to all of us. Thank you so much for sharing his life with us.
You are so brave to speak about phill bear take care send lots of hugs to you all 💙
Love you Phil!!! You are lifewithmalamutes... once a mathews..always a Mathews.. only a Mathews.. the goodest boy
Phil was and is the most loved dog. I still cry over him. That being said , you didn’t’ want him to suffer. You made the right decision. We know it was so hard, but he is not suffering anymore. His life will carry on in all of us. He is there with you. I was so happy to have gotten my book. It is so precious. Thank you for that. I agree with you! It is so much more grief for our animals. My Jake had to leave me , about 6 months ago, and I am still not over it! I have grieved more over him than I have my family members that have passed. Bless you, and we love you and We cry with you. ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sending big hugs Emma & family. The grief is so real and the loss of your first pet from your 20’s is like a chapter closed. I can say to you the grief softens. Philly Bear is always going to be watching over you and I am sure he is most grateful for the incredible life filled with heaps of love you all gave him. Big big hugs from across the pond in Toronto. ✨🌈🐾🐾
