The best advice I received from my vet after our first beloved dog passed of cancer was, "Everyone gets ONE perfect dog. Do not place unrealistic expectations onto your next dog." It was very helpful for us, since we thought our first dog was "perfect". Of course, what we've realized since then, and nine years into having our second dog, is that every dog is special, and dare I say perfect, in their own unique way. We love our current dog just as much as our first. But it was still very helpful to hear the wise words from our vet. Sending you all so much love.
Thatâs the best message, thanks đ
Wise words,
Did you replace your dog as quick as these 2 did?
The best and worst thing that happened to me as a child was having and losing more than one pet....yes, it is heartbreaking, but you learn a lot of life lessons at a young age....yes, each of my cats, dogs, horses, birds have been "perfect" (in their own special way, kinda like people). And like people, you can never replace, but there is always room for more love.
I have had many âperfectâ dogs. In fact right now, I have one snuggled up next to me.
I hope you will register him with a local vet asap to get him checked over, he certainly looks young much younger than Lancelot did. Listen to the advice they are small dogs with tiny bones, treat him like very precious porcelain and not a toy. Long may he have a happy life at Chateau de Lalande.
I have concerns about the whole handing over at the airportâŠ.
@@nicolethijs5428 I agree I've always read that you visit the breeder first see the mother and father!!
@@loulabelle4889 Yes this is the number one rule of buying a puppy from a breeder
@loulabelle4889 They need to take a puppy parent course. I'm sorry, I know she was upset at at Lancelot death but they both don't understand how to look after animals. He's not a accessory. I have seen so many vlogs where Lancelot was crying to go potty and they dismissed him as seeking attention
@@carlyh6913good dog mind readingđ
Stephanie..... no matter how many dogs you have in a lifetime....no 2 are alike.....each is it's own special soul, never to be repeated.
We have 10 Chua chua chua dogs all are related but not 1 has the same character. 1 dog our favorite made babies but not 1 has the character then papa.
Little Galahad is such a gem. I'm sure he will be loved as much as Lancelot! Enjoy this new journeyđ
I am so glad that you included Marie in your discussion about another dog and face timed her so she could see him. All 3 of you will absolutely love and spoil him
Absolutely.
Donât forget Mommy! â€She will absolutely fall in love with this little sweet thing.
I started to cry watching Marie on FaceTime
Please get a harness for that dog. Not leading it by it's tiny neck.
@Belle501 They need to take a puppy parent course. I'm sorry, I know she was upset at at Lancelot death but they both don't understand how to look after animals. He's not a accessory. I have seen so many vlogs where Lancelot was crying to go potty and they dismissed him as seeking attention
Lancelot loved other dogs. He'd approve totally. He was a bright star that burned out too soon but left a brilliant light for this little one to follow.
â€
So beautifully said.
So happy for all! You can never replace your Lancelot but opening your heart for another dog is a very good thing
Lancelot was so precious and much loved around the world. He will be beyond missed. Welcome to your new home Galahad .
As happy as it is to have this new addition - my experience with our breeder was we had to meet several times, see the puppies in situ with their mama, in a way be vetted by the breeder. Your steps seem very quick wirh the addition of getting a pet passport and having the paperwork sorted. My experience questions the breeder just dropping the dog at the airport...but maybe thats just me. Take care of the sweet pup and as many comments say dont let him do the stairs until much older so his joints as stronger.
Same here. When I was about to get my first dog I visited the breeder's house several times. She had questions like: where will the dog live, will he be left alone for a long time, do I have any experience with the breed etc etc. She also allowed us some time with the puppies to see if me and my future fur friend get along. Every animal has a personality, it's not an object but living creature after all. She also gave me many useful tips. The breeder from this video seems to be selling dogs like handbags which is worrying. Animals from breeders with questionable practices also tend to have all kinds of health issues. Anyways, I really hope this is not the case. I'd just be much more careful.
â@MakeUpWitch yes thanks for the comment. I kept thinking did the pup have puppy pads in the hotel room to do a pee, I was a bit surprised at the peanut treat for the wee one and going on the plane was there water etc etc. It's not my call as its not my animal but I question the breeder' credentials dropping the pup at the airport to people he doesn't know and the whole organising the pet passport so fast also doesn't sit well with me.
I have some of the same concerns. Glad I am not the only one.
It doesnât make a lot of sense to me either..
â@@Claire-dq8xmagreed!!
I had my kitty Daphne for 15 years when she passed from cancer. She was my buddy and my pal as well as my constant companion. I cried for weeks. Unfortunately, I let the immense feeling of hear break cloud my judgement for five years. I just couldn't picture another kitty in her spots. I would go weekly to the animal shelter to look at the kittens/cats and pet them, but I couldn't open my heart to let one come home with me. Finally, after five years, one of the workers told me of a mother cat and her newborns that were left overnight at the front of the shelter in a plastic bin. Whoever left them put the bin top on so by the time the workers arrived the next morning and opened it, the kittens were literally gasping for breath. All but one baby survived. They nursed the rest and fostered them out with the exception of what was the runt of the babies that the mother was extremely protective of. I took one look at them in their cage, and I knew I had to bring them both home with me. Then I suddenly felt so guilty and ashamed of myself. I thought about all the cats and dogs in the shelter, and because of my inability to get past my grief, I didn't give a pet a home it deserved sooner. I will never wait that long again to adopt. When we lose a pet, it's difficult and heartbreaking, but there is another pet at the shelter who would love to comfort you and help you through the grief. I'm so happy you are able to give another lovely pup a home and love so soon. There's no reason not to. We'll all always love Lancelot. And we'll love your new fur baby just as much. Love to you all at La Lande.
Life lesson learned! I understand completely! We need to remind ourselves, "Love is a renewable resource!" Thank goodness!

â@@donnaschmink1801 well said â€
We had a cat for 18 yrs and it took us a long time as well, but I would look online everyday, and ask my husband if he liked this one or that one, and he said " No, he did not feel anything about it" ) He loved our other 'baby cat' so much too! Then oen day i called him again to the computer to look at a cat at the shelter and not really a kitten she was about 6 yrs old, and he looked and said " Yes!" I looked at him and said "Yes?" I could not beleive it! I frightened me for a minute as I wa not sure I was ready really, as I loved our "Baby" so much and no one could ever take her place i my heat! Well it was 'Fathers Day' and we went and got her, and she seems to love my husband the best, and he says " 'She is my kitty , you know" Being funny.. so he thinks.. but when he is not looking, she is right by me and making over me!
She will not sit on your lap or anything as this, but will come close and loves people who visit and comes over to say hello, so it seems, and then goes off to do her own things.
But she loves to be with us and when anyone "cooks: she wants to watch and turn' upside down! ' She thinks that is how you cook best!( Lays on her back with legs up in air!) She just does it to get attention, and have you laugh at her.
It is funny how they can truly just enter your heart and be part of the family and they all though do have their own personalities! This cat we named Figi as the shelter had named her Figaro and this is a female, not a male, and so we shortened it and sometimes do forget myself though and calling her'' Baby,'' so I then combine both, calling her Baby Figi ! She stil; answers! Can totally understand how you waited though as it is very hard often, to take that step again. No one wants their heart broken. Then you find a way to heal, sooner or later!
@@carolweaver3269 That is a beautiful story. I know the feeling of being a cats favorite. The mama seems to absolutely love me and the baby (she's 8 now) absolutely loves my partner. The mama's name is "The Lady Eugenia Isabella Underfoot" and the baby is "Princess Theodora Esmeralda Underfoot". The groomers at the kitty spa get a kick out of that and actually call them by their complete names. My cats LOVE water and love being shampooed. The baby loves the blow dryer and mama tolerates it. But they love the every third month spa day. As it's so hot in L.A. right now, they are really happy being turned into short-hairs as they are naturally super fluffy. They stay that way during the winter months. After 9 years, I know when the time comes, I will be completely heartbroken again, but I won't wait more than a week to find another fur baby that needs a home. Maybe THREE next time!!!!
I couldnât agree more. He needs to be in a calm place. He is not a play thing and as such should not be made to appear as such. Take advice and learn how to handle the pup especially as neither of you have had a dog before. Pedigree dogs are far more sensitive than rescue dogs or a bitzer. Study his diet too as their tummies are vulnerable and this will take time. Sorry to sound a bit harsh but I think you need the truth. He is an adorable little chap and is worth every effort to get it right.
Agree with you. I hope they all don't give him cheap treats which are full of rubbish and so bad for dogs. Keep him safe and by you when walking him. Also anyone else that will walk him! He is small never forget that. He can still be a Dog and have a beautiful life. He is lovely and I'm so happy for you both đ
im shocked she keeps going to breeders when there are so many rescues in her area and purebreds have much more health issues
@@gossipandgrigio7200 I agree totally!!
@gossipandgrigio7200 I agree. I'm worried she picked him up from the airport- that's a huge nono

This is the 1st time Iâve commented before even watching the vlog but as a dog mom I know the heartbreak of loosing your fur baby and the healing power of sharing your love with another. Lancelot will live in all our hearts forever and he has opened the door to many more sweet pups helping share the life love and laughter of La Lande â€
I miss him too but very happy to see this.
Thatâs beautifully said and so true â€
@@sindysimms4001, Same
Thatâs so eloquently written and true. đŸâ€ïž
I knew it! I knew you would get another dog and I knew he would be Galahad. đđŒđđŒ
The same week you lost Lancelot, I too lost a beloved pet of a lifetime, also very suddenly, and grieved with you. I spent today struggling with the same issues you voiced in this video -- the grief that comes in unexpected waves, wondering if it's too soon to open my heart again, fearing that I'm trying to replace the one I lost. In the midst of this, I watched this video. Just as you saw the signs for Galahad, I'm seeing this video as a sign. I've just said yes to a new four-legged family member. We grieved together. We'll heal together. Thank you!
đ«¶đ»
The best way to honor a dog one has loved and lost is to share that love with another dog who deserves to be loved. May you each be blessed with your new adoption, and may he live a long and joyous life.
Beautifully said. Could not agree more. Thank you.
Yes, well said.
Amen, to that!
I totally agree and itâs the best way to heal. â€â€â€â€â€
I am so glad you included Marie in the conversation. Congratulations so excited for you all. Welcome puppyđđ

I cried my eyes out. Iâm so glad little Galahad has arrived. †Tomorrow is going to be a đparty!
I'm so happy for your family. Pets leave such large holes in our lives when they leave, and until that time, they bring such joy
Galahad is a beautiful and sweet pup. †The healing he'll bring everyone is immense.
Lancelot will always be remembered. Gentle Hugs
Good for you đ Now, I come from a veterinarian family. Please take Galahad to a GOOD vet for a complete blood, urine, and parasite screening. It will be good for him and give you peace of mind. â€. EDIT: Even if he was checked before you left Prague, please have him re-checked in France. And get him microchipped.
Good advice and my father agrees ( heâs a veterinarian).

Congratulations đŸ! When you got Lancelot it inspired me to finally get a puppy after waiting 9 years since my beloved dachshund passed. I got my new puppy in February and watched todayâs video with him in my lap. My eyes were filled with happy tears to see you get precious Galahad! â€
I think this is a directive from Lancelot to help you both heal. You needed this.
I am crying tears of happiness for you two. The chateau seemed so empty without your sweet pup. I cant wait to see Marie welcome her sweet companion.
Maybe Galahad could use a little brother.
King Arthur!
...or Guinevere!
A puppy never replace, but brings new live, love and laughter. So happy for you and all off us who loved Lancelot. â„ïžđżđŠ
When our first rescue dog passed away I was bereft, the worst pain I had ever felt. Finding our second rescue dog was the best thing we ever did .. & Iâm not sure who rescued who more âșïž Lancelot will never be forgotten & I hope this new little pup will help mend your broken hearts đŸđ
I've had Rescue dogs since 2001, all ages, mostly dachshunds, now just one left, A Chiweenie, Taz âșïžđŸ
@@MsRandikay Thats wonderful âșïž Ours is a dachshund cross, we think! We have four dogs in our family .. all rescues. Itâs manic & crazy but we love them to the moon & back đŸđ„°
I am NOT a pet person. Iâm allergic to cats and dogs. But losing Lancelot and now finding Galahad has made me so emotional!
I'm not allergic, but I'm not a dog person (not walking a dog in a blizzard or thunderstorm-lol), but I'm so happy for them and the dog will be so loved. Dogs are great, when they're someone else's to take care of. lol I'm def. more a cat person.
Having had dogs all my life...Galahad will show you who he is...and will create a place in your heart almost immediately...
Tears came into my eyes when I saw Galahad for the first time. When he went nose to nose with Philip, it was so sweet. I am happy for you both with your new puppy. He will fall in love with you both and everyone at le ChĂąteau. In turn, it will be mutual. Thank you for sharing these wonderful moments.

Look at that precious little baby! I'm emotional, I know how big this is. It's so hard to lose a furbaby, and there's alwaysa hesitation about a successor, but then you meet the ONE and you know there's place in your heart for a new love. It's Lancelots legacy, he opened your hearts. Welcome baby Galahad! You have a wonderful life ahead of you, and a whole living household waiting to love on you! Congratulations Philip and Stephanie, and best wishes for your birthday Stephanie! â€â€â€
Aahh sweet, knew you wouldn't wait BUT....can I give a well assured piece of advice having owned 5 dogs over the years. Learn to read their body language properly and I mean really learn understand and see it and react to it. How their ears are back up or down, air licking...thats a important one. The state of their tail where and how it stands! If they are standing their ground. DON'T DRAG A DOG AS SEEN PHILIP DO!!!!!learn how to hold your dog properly, where and how to hold. If hes struggling to get down when holding him, put him down if Ok to do so.....if out and on a lead.Or else you can do u told damage to hind or front legs and spine etc....even just holding him when hes still. Dont splay his front paws, dont let his back legs hang down. Stephanie this time don't let him climb all over your head hair or face, set your boundaries. He won't know until you teach him. Don't get him over excited and stimulated, too many people, too much fuss. Make sure he has his quiet space to excape too, same as us humans. No chasing sheep, really!!!!!! Those poor sheep magine him doing it here with pregnant ewes! Bird đ©, your really asking for intestinal trouble here. Your his human Mum and Dad, he's all you've got. So go and google read and learn properly. Yes he will get on your nerves, all dogs do at times. Yes there will be times when you think why did I do this again BUT they give sooooooo much too utreat him well and he will be always your best friend. Think thats it. Byeeee
Yes maybe there are puppy training classes somewhere in their area? Really good not just for training puppies but also for training owners. I found them great for socialisation etc.
@@beyondthebuild1 Definitely!
Lancelot went to puppy training and obeyed commands quite well. Sitting, laying down, waiting, and coming to his name. The family dog does the shoulder and head thing. Why does it matter? Don't worry about the sheep. They are never pregnant.
ââ@carolinegooder7091 Sorry totally disagree. Wasn't talking about basic dog training that most dogs learn along with a treat when doing so. I am referring to what I have watched and seen with his telling dog body language!!!! what happened on occasion and actually I am passing on my knowledge to be of some help. Also, sorry pregnant or not....NO dogs should chase any livestock at all end of period and its totally naive to think otherwise. If one cannot learn and understand and become a better dog owner, whats the point. Simples! A dog isn't a toy, a plaything, a dog needs boundarys, direction, nurturing. Simple as that. Every dog we have had had a different temperament, personality and one learnt to read its body language accordingly. End of!

It brought tears to my eyes. We all knew you needed a fur baby. You both have so much love to give,â„ïžđ
Iâm so happy for all of you! He is handsome guy! I love when Phillip said, âyou are blocking my view!â. Couldnât be anymore sweeter! Congratulations!
Ho absolutely precious--and seeing the immediate love and delight in Phillip's, Marie's, and your eyes made me cry! Lancelot is approving and wagging his little tail in doggy heaven.
My heart just melted, welcome to your new home little one â„He's so sweet and adorable and will be loved by so many, I'm so glad you got him. With small dogs you have to be really careful with so many things (when I got my first small dog puppy my breeder told me not to lift my feet of the floor but to shuffle because very tiny puppies can be injured by stepping on them (and because they are everywhere as they are so lively) and also be very careful how and when you sit down and not to injure them) but one of the most important things is who you let them play with. Please be careful with bigger dogs. Even though bigger dogs can be friendly the play might get too rough and it can be just a little thing like a paw slap that can injure your little dog really badly. Your tiny little dog is like a twig compared to a larger dog. That's why in dog play areas there are separate areas for small and big dogs, because it can get too rough for small dogs and they must be protected. You really have to protect him and be critical about this. That's why it would be good if you'd get him a small doggie friend that Gallahan can play freely with and that'd mean another pragger please â„đ€©đ My heart was sinking when I was watching Lancelot playing with the gardeners dogs because they were too rough with him. Sorry to say this but the gardener should understand not to bring her dogs with her even though her dogs seemed friendly but the crazy running is too much. Amary's lab seemed like a cool, calm and safe dog to be around. A small dog can only play rough with his own size and you should never be shy to tell someone if you feel uncertain for your dog's safety and wellbeing, you are his parents â„ Congratulations on your new baby, he is very precious â„
The healing power of unconditional love from a sweet little creature like Sir Galahad is exactly what you all needed. Well done! That darling little puppy is officially the luckiest dog in the world. Congratulations!! đđ„°đđâš
What a sweetheart of a puppy. Congratulations. Young animals have an amazing power of lifting oneâs spirit.
Iâm so glad you didnât wait to get a new baby! Your heart knows when the time is right. We had to put our yellow lab Argo put to sleep last November 15th and we adopted our new boy Ridge who is a Newfie/ golden crossNovember 28th. We were told it was to soon but we all missed the sound of nails clicking in the floor and I missed my shadow who went every where with me and kept me company when everyone in the house was working and at school. So we saved another life as all our dogs are rescuedâ„ïž. So happy to see you all so happy to have Galahad, he will never take Lancelot place but just make your hearts grow with even more loveâ„ïž
I think after our first dog goes over the Rainbow Bridge itâs common for us to believe that weâll never love another dog like we loved this one. Then this wonderful miracle happens and we realize our capacity to love has expanded and we love this new little one with all of our heart as well.
Congratulations!! Wishing you all a long lifetime of happiness together.
How precious! When we lose a pet, it leaves a hole in the heart that only another pet can fill. So thrilled you faced the âtoo soonâ fear and overcame it. â€
You can never replace your Lancelot but opening your heart for another dog is a good thing. Stephanie and Philip, no matter how many dogs you have in a lifetime....no two are alike...each is its own special soul, never to be repeated. I'm so happy for the Lalande family and its' newest member Sir Galahad! I am so happy for you both.
Thatâs the beauty of love- it is infinite. You will continue to love Lancelotâs memory and have enough love for more wonderful pups. Congratulations! Sir Gallahad is adorable.
Yes, Love is infinite.
Omgosh, Iâm crying such happy tears of joy. đ He will be so so loved because everyone will see Lancelots, bright light shining within him as well!! Welcome home sweet baby boy!â€
So glad you got another dog..we lost two of our dogs in one month and immediately rescued another..weâve learn after losing a dog, the heart fills faster if you get another dog as soon as possible that you can love
Too true. Especially true for all the little rescue fur babies who do not have long to wait for a forever home, before their lives are taken from them.
rescuing is so rewarding im sure your baby appreciates your love
I thought the first rule of buying a dog is to meet the dogs mother in their home setting and NEVER buy on handed over in a car park
Tbh, I tend to agree with you on that
You are right but at the same time I think it can be a bit different when you buy dog internationally BUT no matter what, still you should do lot of research what kind of breeder it is and if there is trustworthy sources saying that the breeder is ethical.
@@Illumnia548 in the Uk we are advised never to buy international as there have been several scandals over Irish puppy farms
They may have gotten him from the same breeder as Lancelot?
@@MAC-op5fc They got Lancelot from a breeder in Germany, Galahad from Prague.
So so adorable and looks like Lancelot. How I've missed your little boy. Galahad looks timid but will probably turn into a hells angel in no timeđ Wishing you many happy years and adventures together.
I've lost dogs before and your heart lets you know when you are ready for another. Each dog is different and irreplaceable but I have loved them all immensely. The joy they bring into my life is always grand and beautiful.
After losing a dog the hardest thing was walking in the door and not being greeted. I always have adopted another fur baby not as a replacement but as a tribute to the previous loved pet.
I have tears watching Phillip and Galahad. I am so happy you are both open to loving precious Galahad. He will fill your soul again.
So happy for you, Philip and all of your LaLand family. Sir Galahad can never replace Sir Lancelot but he will bring joy and love back to your hearts.
We picked up a new puppy the day after we lost our puppy and it was the best medicine for us all.
So very happy for you both! Getting another pup is just allowing your heart to grow and let in more love. Galahad is beautiful. Enjoy every minute with your new baby.
I'm sure the popularity of Prague ratters has gone up by alot because of sweet Sir Lancelot, and will continue to rise because of the adorable Sir Galahad đ So cute, when he touched noses with Phillip đ
Stephanie is an influencer.âïž
@@hollykeller1545 Well I guess she is... though I'm not one easily influenced. So I like to think. But... I ended up binge watching A Good Girl's Guide to Murder after she talked about watching the final episode, earlier this week! (It was definitely bingeworthy!)
hopefully adopting will rise. shelters are overcrowded and euthanasia is at an all time high due to a lack of adopters
What a cute baby! As an owner of small creatures, many in my lifetime, my advice would be to avoid the plastic toys, any bones, and rawhide. Much happiness with the little one. đ
I'm delighted and happy for you - and all of LaLande. What a precious baby he is. I'm so glad you didn't wait. Trust me, the new little one will help you heal faster. Congratulations.
Rescue is my favourite breed
Oh, joy! So happy for all of you and for Sir Galahad, this new little Prince of the Chateau to help your hearts heal, while in his own unique way, always honor the memory of Sir Lancelot, who I will never, ever forget. I think Lancelot would highly approve! Also, so thrilled that this will be a very happy birthday for you, Stephanieđ
My husband and I just rescued a female Beagle that was found wandering in the Adirondacks. She's about 3 or 4 years old and we are currently house training her. The poor thing has a lot of anxiety, but she is a very sweet dog and gets along with all six of my cats, believe it or not!
she is so blessed to have you for a family
I lost my gs in December and have been broken hearted. Now, a mini Aussie just fell into our laps. I couldnât be more in love. Iâm so happy for you!!! â€ïž
Itâs so lovely that youâve called him Galahad. Many years ago, I had a puppy named Pippin who after 2 months passed away after a very sudden and mysterious illness. I was devastated, because he was the sweetest most even tempered dog. I didnât think I could love another dog as much, but a few weeks later I got a new dog, whom I named Galahad! What a coincidence! They were chihuahuas, and everyone used to comment on how he had such a big name for a little dog.
I had my Sir Galahad for 10 lovely years. It took time in the beginning to find our stride, as his personality was quite different to Pippin, and I was still grieving, but we found our way and had 10 wonderful years together.
Your heart will heal, and Galahad will surely help. â€
Soon as you said Prague I KNEW you were getting a dog! Iâm SO glad, like Iâve said many times since you lost Lancelot that the only way I can move on is to give another dog a wonderful life!
Over the years I have lost three dogs. It is hard to explain the emptiness of not having that excited buddy in the house and on walks. They are all different but just as loveable. It is a roller coaster. I canât wait until tomorrows blog.
Awesome!!!! I watched your channel now for a few years. I never thought losing Lancelot would have affected me so far away in America did! I am trilled to see this new pup and your adventures with him! Congradulations!
Maybe a little training for the new puppy would be a good idea it will pay off in the end especially if you have guests staying that might love the little chap but not want him jumping all over them xx
Lancelot had local training and training at home. â€
@julieballantyne5156 They need to take a puppy parent course. I'm sorry, I know she was upset at at Lancelot death but they both don't understand how to look after animals. He's not a accessory.

Good decision âŠthis little guy will enhance your perfect memories of Lancelot!!! You did all the right things taking care of Lancelots illness and stepping out on your beautiful gardens will once again be a total delight as you watch this new pup romp and explore!!â€â€
Galahadâs New Beginning
When Lancelotâs paws left tender prints
On hearts that held him dear,
A quiet void, a whispered ache,
Lingered through each passing year.
But then came Galahad, small and bright,
With eyes of endless light,
Not to replace what once was lost,
But to bring new joy, new flight.
In the space where Lancelot played,
Galahad now gently steps,
A new place for love to grow,
Where old and new are kept.
He fills the home with playful grace,
A spirit bold and free,
Reminding us that love expands,
As wide as hearts can see.
For in his bark, a different song,
Yet echoes of the past,
A bridge between the then and now,
A bond thatâs built to last.
Not a shadow, but a flame,
That warms the hand and heart,
Galahad, with gentle paws,
Makes a brand-new start.
Wow, hopefully Stephanie and Philip see this poem!
That's so beautiful, thank you! â€ïž
@@TheChateauDiaries youâre welcome
The world is watching the new arrival at Chateau Lalande none other than Sir Galahad!! I'm so delighted to see Philip with tears rolling down his face! I had tears rolling down mine as well. Sir Galahad you are in for the treat of a lifetime of fans, fame, fortune and unconditional love from around the world!! Enjoy your royal role!!! Love from Louisiana, USA!!!!
I don't think I would have been ready to get a new dog so shortly after another one died. I guess that's different with everyone, but emotionally it'd take me much longer to say goodbye to a pet.
I canât imagine moving on to another pet so very quickly when youâre still grieving about the last one and the new one looking exactly like the last but yeah itâs different for everyone
@Aeaed They need to take a puppy parent course. I'm sorry, I know she was upset at at Lancelot death but they both don't understand how to look after animals. He's not a accessory. I have seen so many vlogs where Lancelot was crying to go potty and they dismissed him as seeking attention
I'm so happy for the LaLande family and especially for its' newest member Galahad! You're so blessed to have each other. I was bawling tears of joy when Gala started brightening up and giving Philip little "kisses". My puppy Lucy was squealing her joy at her new video friend. I'm so proud of you opening your hearts this way. I didn't comment that day but I absolutely thought the same thing when you read that passage. Just ecstatic and thank you for sharing with us.
Like with children we fear not loving the second child as much as the first. Then the second child is born and we love them just as much. The heart and soul is designed for limitless love.
So beautifully said Rosey - I totally agree đ
â@@ladylana3093exactly!
I think I cried through the entire vlogâŠtears of happiness and sadness all at once. His sweet face! Looking forward to the adventures of Galahadâ€
Stephanie, I once got a West Highland White Terrier puppy. I picked her up about an hour away from where I lived. Took her to PetsMart to get some supplies and drove her home. She did not make a peep the entire time.I had observed her with her parents, a brother from another litter, and a male littermate along with their human family. The kids were playing with her while her little brother hid under a car in the carport. So it wasn't that she was not outgoing. I thought maybe that the dog didn't bark. But she soon found her voice, and what a voice it was. She had the bark of a dog much larger than she was. I have already seen the next video and it seems that Galahad is very extroverted and bold, so no worries on that account. Lancelot to me seemed more timid, but that is just my impression from seeing him in the vlogs.
Congratulations!! IÂŽm so happy for you both!! Getting a new puppy is the best thing you could do. And donÂŽt be afraid, one dogs doesnÂŽt substitute the other, both little dogs will live in your hearts and enjoy all your happiness. He is beautiful!! IÂŽm in love with those big ears!! Poor little thing he seems a bit scared (understandable), but with all your love and hugs he will be so happy.
Sad you didn't see his parentsđźhope he wasn't from an E U puppy farm .....đą
It have questions too⊠I bred cats and I would never hand over a kitten at the airport and I would never buy a kitten without seeing the circumstances where the kittens where born and without seeing the mother and father in person.
I agree and itâs always a thing that you donât do a deal in a car park?. Iâm very weirded out by this âŠâŠ

Congratulations! Lancelot sent you a love puppy because you made his life extraordinary â€
Happy Birthday, Stephanie! Welcome home, Sir Galahad! ~Terri & Colin đ
Wonderful news.....Little Galahad is so precious and will fill your life with joy and delight. So happy for you!
Thank you so much for sharing this first meeting with us. Galahad is so cute. I think Lancelot was the go between to introduce you to the world of dogs. Once you were hooked, his job was done and he left to make room for Galahad. †many blessings to Galahad for a long, happy life in his castle.
You'll never forget or stop loving Lancelot, but little Galahad will fill your hearts with so much love and help you heal.â€â€â€
I couldnât watch your vlog for a while after I heard about sweet Lancelot. I felt sick, as I knew yâall were. He was so darn cute. The new pup will fill your heart with joy, Steph. I saw a complete change in you and Phillip, as well. He was your baby and now another beautiful baby will fill your heart again and channel all your sadness into love. You will never forget Lancelot but your new baby will mend your heart in time.
How WONDERFUL âŁïžYou Guys needed him and he will melt Marieâs heart when she sees himđ»
Lucky puppy he will be loved . I am happy for all of you .
Just remember, treat him well, hes not a toy and not for content! Also a tad concerned. Did you see him with his Mum, do you know his provenance. Any inherited traits! Please tell me you didnt phone some random and meet a man off a train and buy him. Its so silly if you did. Had he had his first injection etc. Every dog we had, we met the breeder asked lots of question, met the Mum and so much more.....đź

'Sweet Sir Galahad came in through the window, in the night' said Joan Baez in her famous song. So happy to see you both with Lancelot's son, very moving. And Marie can't wait to see him!
...Joan sang so many beautiful folk songs ...I have many of her albums from the 70s, need to listen to that song again!
Congratulations on Galahad. May you have many years together đ.
Congratulations on Sir Galahad joining the family! This is so joyful and I cried through most of the video.
Like you I wasn't sure about another dog...but when I saw Stanley the tiny puppy I cried đą I new this is what i needed, the love in my heart â„ïž had to go somewhere. Love to you all xxxx
Iâm so happy for you! Itâs never too early, it happens when the time is right. Heâs adorable! đ„°
This is a good move and this dog needs your love too
I'm sitting here in tears of joy as that tiny little man nuzzled up to Phillip. I sure am looking forward to Sunday!!!!
Oh Stephanie! We know youâll let your new puppy have his own personality!
Lancelot picked Galahad, the heart has huge capacity for love, congratulations
We picked up a new puppy three weeks after losing our 15 year old dog. I couldn't stand not having a dog but cried on the way home with the puppy, thinking I wasn't honoring our previous dog. It's such a difficult transition, but it works out in the end.
The best way to honor a previous dog, is to open your heart to a new one.
It seems that way but i think our fur Children that pass to the Rainbow Bridge would not want us to be sad for long . 15 a very good age for any dog to get too . đ„°
that frame where Galahad and Philip touch noses it would make a wonderful photo to hang. So cute
Yay!! Lancelot would be so pleased you're bringing Galahad home. Proud of you both. Love how everyone else at Lalande is looking forward to the wee pup coming home. Love to all and gentle scritches for the puppy.
Ohhh He is such a sweetheart!!! Congratulations on Baby Galahad! He will be a beautiful comfort to you bothâ„đŸâ€ We have only had Doberman Pinchers for the last 30 years and each one has been very different and yet each one perfect! to me! We are sooooo happy for you!!! I do believe having another pup is the best comfort at these times. He is absolutely precious!
Love & Prayers Ravenâ€đŸâ€
I'm glad this wonderful dog didn't have to wait another second for the best home ever!
I'm so pleased you have another beautiful edition to your family. I have lost horses, dogs and cats over the years and its the hardest part of loving beautiful animals. I have a Rottweiler cattle dog cross. She is my very own food taster and she is my best friend. My horses love her and she keeps me company and barks at the coyotes. Without my animals I couldn't survive. Lots of love and best wishes from Arizona USA đșđž.
I'm overwhelmed by joy!! I thought Pillip was going crazy without Lancet for a long time. He was broken inside. You did not show Phillip was crying in the past videos but I knew he lost a half of himself spiritually and he was not all we knew anymore. Thank you and thank you!! You might think bringing another one this early is odd but I'm so glad you brought the Lancelot successor early enough to save Phillip's soul!!đ
Hi Stephanie, Iâm so happy you decided to get another fur baby. The love they bring is truly remarkable. â€ïžđšđŠ
So happy for you, we had to put our beloved dog down on New Yearâs eve. It broke my heart. They give so much love unconditionally. It takes a piece of you when they are gone. Enjoy â€
Ahhh lovely Stephanie, it was such a shock to see you lost Lancelot, and so terribly sad as he was just so young and had the most beautiful life with you all. But I am sure this new one will heal some woundsâŠ. â€. Pets whatever they are become a big part of any family.
Why could you not get a dog in France as there are 1000's of dogs across France in Shelters? There are also lots of cats waiting for loving homes.
They want a tiny dog and without any hair because both of them are allergic to dogs and cats hair.
@@mireille4751they are not allergic to dogs since Lancelot has hairs and Molly comes there too. They are allergic to cats. Thats why Ruby is not allowed in the house.
@@mireille4751 This is from a dog website....The Prague Ratter has short hair and is smooth-coated.
The breed doesn't bark much and is very clean and short haired. Philip selected a small dog, and Lancelot was, in fact, his dog at first. †They wanted a dog that could travel with them some, but Marie would also care for him as she loves dogs. Stephanie's aunt and uncle want one also. â€
agreed
I wonder if adopting a dog rather than getting a bred dog is as important in France as it is in the States. There are so many wonderful dogs that need to be adopted that are in rescues and humane societies. I am sad you didn't rescue, but that is just me I guess.
it is they are just being snobs/ posh
