- I always forget to speak to the really important things! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR DONATING TO 'I'M YOUR HUCKLEBERRY RESCUE' ON BEHALF OF LENNY! This warms my heart more than you will ever know.
Lenny is truly the sweetest little guy, I find it so hard to believe that someone would dump him, or get rid of him. Somehow he ended up a stray, and would be dead by now. But - he is now living the life up here in Canada and is settling in very well. He is quite shy and timid, but I know there is a spunky little guy in there just waiting to have fun! Isn't he adorable?
Fellow pro-ject junkies fret not! I will be back to work here again now that Lenny is settled in - I've got lots of stuff to get working on, don't I !?!
Thanks for watching my weird and random videos, and I'll see you next week! đ

Tail wagging as fast as his ribs disappearing...how wonderful to be welcomed to the family by his new brothers and sisters with such kindness...YAY LENNY.
So in a way scout saved Lennyâs life. I am continually in awe with your willingness to put yourselves out there for these animals. Bless you and thank you.
Nice to meet you, Lenny. You're in for a daily adventure and can lead your best doggie life!
It is awesome that they all get along so well, to bad people can't do that.
@tradde11 you are so right they loves us regardless
Dogs donât try and force their beliefs and political views on each otherâŠ.
Love you for the love dedication and compassion. Thank you thank you for all you do. That's alot of love.
I love that look on a pet's face when they know they have been taken in by loving owners and how they cautiously explore their new home and surroundings whilst settling in đ
It is ao very awesome that you adopt dogs that are in their later stage of life to give them the very best in love and care when most wouldn't even bother . There is a special place in heaven for folks like you . God Bless you .
You are a most loving soul. Thank you for the way you cherish your pets.
God bless you Michelle for being such a kind person to those dogs! I LOVE DOGS!
Random act of kindness is a beautiful thing!!
Keep it up guys đ
Seeing the condition of lenny and where he just came from is upsetting, that's not the first one in his condition. It's really sad to see them that way, because there chained up in a small confined and and neglected. Here were I'm staying along with family we have a large family of four legged felines 16 and three very healthy canines the German Shepard almost 45K but not fat. It is a full time commitment. Good to see that lenny is going to fit in just fine with a good family. Take care and God bless amen.
Its better for a dog to lived a short time with feeling loved and get attention than to die having lived a miserable life overall, bless your heart for giving pets the love they deserve and need.
You are amazing people. Thank you for loving these beautiful soul's.
Thank you for your love of the dogs ..... each of them are wonderful! Our friends
Good on you guys, these poor dogs deserve every chance to live a happy and full life. I so admire you guys for doing what you do.
Yeah I love it's great that you and your husband takes these animal it gives that animal a chance at life and helps with the void of that lost animal that you have lost that's absolutely awesome that you guys do that.
Great looking boy! You and Steve have hearts of gold.
Iâm here in Texas, and it seems to be too many people donât do the right thing to keep the animal population down by spaying or neutering. Then they get babies and want to get rid of them the wrong way.
Great job. â€
Beautiful dogs good people. Thanks for sharing your lovely video. Looks absolutely awesome where you guys are. Dogs are so lucky to have you both. Thanks for sharing.
God Bless you two! It takes special people to share their hearts with our four legged brothers & sisters. Wilber, lower 48 â€â€
What can I say you guys are special it tugs at my heart to see the love you show these animals keep on doing what your doing
You are an angel !! Thank you thank you thank you for what you do for these dogs â€đđ€
Sweet pup. He's part of a great family now. Bless!
Lenny! You and all your new dog pals are all so lucky to have such passionate, loving animal loving Mom, and Dad , and your new beautiful homes đĄ!!!
Rescue On!!!!
âBlessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dogâ. - Sidney Jeanne Seward
Take it from someone who has rescued 6 Basset hounds over a span of 18 years. It never gets easy to say goodbye BUT the joy that they bring is worth it. They love unconditionally and show that love and appreciation in so many different ways. Bravo to you and Steve!
5 puppers? Wonderful! Thank you for saving all of those dogs! ! Steak in a copper bowl! Delicious! Hi Lenny!
We love your channel, we have 5 special needs rescue dogs that keep us quite busy here in the woods of Michigan. My beautiful wife is also a nurse and very self sufficient. I am also a Canadian expat living my best life trying to give back. Keep up the good life we enjoy your adventures.
This video warms my heart. Bless you and your family because you are a blessing to these precious dogs. I wish you and your pack the best! â€ïž
DOGS HAVE SOULS JUST LIKE HUMANS...THERE IS A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN HIS GARDEN THAT GOD IS PREPARING FOR BOTH OF YOU AND ALL THE SOULS YOU HAVE SAVED...HEAVEN!
Some people will never realize how hard it is to lose a pet. There part of the family. It broke my heart when I lost my last GSD had him a little over 9 years. God bless you and Steve. Welcome to the family Lenny!!
I love him!! What a lucky guy to be adopted by you & Steve. I love how Southgate just sits there in the boat, that's cute
MichelleâŠyouâre a good woman! I rarely meet people of your caliber. You love for rescuing canines is outstanding. Iâm on my 7th. He is an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull) that has been trained for an ESA. He is non aggressive and very lovable. My senior Lab passed a few months ago and it was hard on both Ko and I. Since the passing of my wife, Ko (pitt bull) is with me 24/7. Youâve done so very well and I love what you do. Steve is a very fortunate manâŠjust as you are.
Love to see your pack all getting on, and Lenny fitting inđđđŒ. I'm very impressed that you managed to get your cat happily riding in the boat!!
Bless you, bless you, bless you guys for what you do. I rescued an old dog from the shelter that was a cowering mess. I brought her home and lavished her with all the best and love I could provide. She turned out to be the most incredible dog I could ever imagine. She was totally devoted to me and was always near by me. I like watching your dogs, my heart sings when I see them happy and spoiled.
I lost my Bear girl almost two years ago which was the hardest thing Iâve ever gone through. I lover her so much.
I agree with you, another dog rescue eases the pain. We got a dog that had been in a litter from Oklahoma. ( I live in western Washington) Emma has some big paws to fill but sheâs a good dog as well.
Again, thank you for what you guys do, you have my undying respect and admiration.
John
I think thatâs wonderful what you can do to rescuer dogs !! Lenny looks like a great pupper !
What a sweat heart of a dog he's such a gentle lad. know wonder you have fallen for him so quickly. Your kindness towards them shows how descent you and Steve really are. I love dogs too, I've got two of them thinking about getting another one.
Any one who loves and cares for dogs is to be trusted and also cherished so true when one looses a loyal friend dog itâs good therapy to adopt another you are quite the builder go girl
Had a beautiful German Shephard mix for 16 yrs. My best friend. Now, 14 yrs. later, my 10 y.o. son has been asking for a puppy. I know I have to allow him the chance to share his love with his own best friend. Tears stream down my face as I write this knowing, as you said, the joy of having that friend but still feeling the incredible pain of the loss. Your honesty is priceless.
Loved this. Scout is looking down and wagging his tail I'm sure
Yes - he is đ
Go Lenny! Dogs rule the world. i have 4 mixed bullies and cant think of a world without them. Hi I'm Lenny also and am catching up on your videos. Excited to see Lenny more. Thanks for the cool builds and fun entertainment!
Awe! I don't know what else to say. Awe! â€â€â€
From Phoenix Arizona,I send you thanks for saving the life of a shelter dog, especially since he was going to be euthanized.
My daughter has spent 8 years working in animal shelters and rescue organizations. She and I spent every weekend together when she was growing up at an animal rescue. You and Steve seem to be amazing people! Good bless your good work to save animals. You obviously have a big heart, especially knowing you are an RN. I myself spent my life in a 30 year career in EMS in N.Y. CITY and Phoenix Arizona. I believe caring for animals is good therapy to offset some of the things we encounter and see in the field of EMS/ ER work. Take care of your doggies and enjoy the Love they give back to you!
P.S. love your channel and the beautiful woodlands of Canada đšđŠ đ
That's the way dogs work. They suck you in with there cute face, waggy tail, soft licks, and then your stuck for more years than you can imagine. Michelle and Steve, I hope Lenny works out well for you. >His job will be to fill most of the hole in your hearts following the loss of Scout. Looking forward to seeing him in many of your videos. Thanks for Sharing!
This is beyond wonderful. You and Steve are really awesome for taking these guys in. Lenny seems hand shy but hopefully he can overcome with your love and attention. (Edit: added 'rescuing') Thank you for rescuing and being so kind to your faithful companions. Dogs and cats are amazing creatures of this earth and deserve love and protection. Wish I could give Lenny a hug, take him for a walk and spoil him rotten. Great vid.
Thatâs very sweet and loving video thank you all
Please stay that way⊠only love
Thank you so much for saving Lenny's life. What a precious dog and companion. Please keep him safe for a long life. Rescue dogs are the best.
He needs rest to heal.
Your family will relax him...lovely looking dog
Lucky Lenny...!! Lucky to be rescued and Lucky to have such a loving new mom. Lucky Lenny.
The world needs more people like you two. Thank you so much for all that you are doing for these pups. Can't wait to watch more of your videos!
Thank you so much for what you do with your beautiful dogs đ đ đ đ đ. Taking them into your home and loving them so much. It was so very sad about Scout but he got that special kind of love that many dogs never get. Love â€ïž your videos so very much. Keep up the good work.
His value is priceless
All your words are so true, and that's something can only come from a beautiful heart
He is so happy the Lenny dog ..so match love from him to you and Steveâ€ïžâ€ïž it macke me cryingđąđą so match love from đžđȘ to you and SteveđȘđȘđčđč
God bless you both we also love dogs thank you.
The fact that Lenny wags his tail every time he sees you is so very special. Lenny is a very lucky dog!!
The loss of losing these poor souls always is hard to deal with but the gratification and joy all the dogs I've rescued over the years gives me drive to always step up again and give another misfortunate friend one more chance, good on you and Steve for opening one more chapter, congratulations Michy đđ
Agree 100%! The reward of giving them a great life is worth all the heartache. đ
Me and my wife Sherry do the same thing we had 5 dogs and they have all died we have 3 now we just adopted the third one name is Stanley. Good job to you two. Ole fart in Alabama. Love đ it!
Hiya to you all, thank you for doing this. I had to give up my Alsatian when I could no longer look after her as she deserved. I'm severely disabled and even walking her was too much. I'll continue living my doggy life through you all.
Stay safe, Steve...
Lenny is beautiful. This is my baby. Valentine, is 9 yrs old. She came to me as a rescue from southern states. She is brindle with white paws.She looks like Yorki, Terrier mix. I give her chicken every other day and a scramble egg and her bacon for breakfast on the odd day. Great video Miche!!e, always with wonderful emotions and honesty. : )
So funny to see your cat come by boat âŠ..lol âŠâŠ. gotta love it
Thank you for giving Lenny Life, & a great home, with wonderful caring people to be around! Be safe, stay healthy, & God Bless everyone!
GREETINGS FROM TEXAS!! AND THANK YOU. HE DOES LOOK LIKE HE HAS BRINDLE PIT IN HIM. HE IS BEAUTIFUL.
Iâm so glad you decided to do this after what happened. Bless your kind hearts.
I just discovered your channel. I first watched you milling lumber a couple of days ago. When I heard your voice I knew immediately that you were from BC. I live south of you in Washington state but half my family live in BC. My dad grew up and was raised on Vancouver Island but I also have a lot of family on the mainland. I enjoyed watching you mill lumber and I subscribed with that video but watching you and Steve with your animals is what really touched my heart. Deb and I have 4 dogs 7 cats 21 horses 3 geese 13 ducks (including one called Tiny Tim who has a bum leg) 2 goats and 22 chickens. Animals are our life, our friends and family. I already know you guys are our kind of people. Wishing you much love in life.
hello, I like to see all the work they do, especially with pets. I happened to find the channel watching videos of the Perkins brothers and now Iâm watching yours. I admire your tenacity to do things. I was hurt by the loss of Scaut, I have two dogs also rescued. I congratulate you. Greetings from Ezeiza, Buenos Aires, Argentina. đđȘđȘ
Congratulations on your new addition to your family pack. Lenny seems like a sweet pup. Wishing you, Steve and your furry kids a blessed week, gentle weather and restful evenings. Peace princess.

Hi Michelle - It was great to meet Lenny! I admire what you and Steve do with adopting the elder dogs. It is a very noble cause. I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that you will give Lenny the absolute best care possible and make his remaining years comfortable and full of love. Thank you for what you do. Have Blessed Day. Kind Regards, Randy in Arizona
heartwarming - perfect - love the story about Lenny and all the dogs
Hi Michelle and Steve congratulations on your new addition to your family I just love your heart the way you care for animals especially dogs thank you once again for the great video Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia
I loved the video of you and Lenny. Looks like he'll fit right in with the rest of the gang. Cat included! Have a great week ahead.
So happy to see the new addition to your family and the unconditional love you will surely receive! â€ïž
you guys have a heart of GOLD, adopted dogs / rescues make the best pets ever. our four / three dogs have come from the same family different house holds thru word of mouth. the second dog they took back writhing 24 hours it was a 11 - 12 year old Rottweiler female which ended up passing within a month I think it was heart broken because her brother that it shared a home with had passed about 6 months before. thank you for sharing god bless. #doglife
Another adorable addition to the family
Michelle I think the world of you and Steve for adopting dogs as you both do. This may be the only time in their lives that their ever treated with love! Thank you both!
Looks like Lenny has a bit of Brindle Staffordshire in him đ hats off to you guys for rescuing himđ
My five dogs are watching me as I watch the video.
Dogs are the greatest creatures on this earth.
I had a close friend that died when we were around 9-10. (65 now)
He was a little off and went around shouting "God Dog ! " all the time,
I think back now, maybe he was right.
Lenny is a great dog! Look like he is blending right in with the pack!
So cute, so inspirational. I will be crushed when that day comes on losing my Pepper. But your outlook is so amazing. Thank you for sharing!!!
thank you for giving a voice the Animals that are just tossed aside like trash. I rescue cats. I only have 2 left. having to say good bye is the saddest and toughest thing i ever have to do.. Bless your loving soul from a NY vet
I rescued an old English Foxhound from death row, coming up on almost 2 years now. Iâm new to the channel, but I noticed right away that only your foxhounds have GPS collars. Itâs the same way in my pack. Whenever good old Emmitt is out and about, it will take a literal act of god to stop him from roaming if he catches a scent. I love your pack, mine looks a lot like yours and itâs great seeing another hodgepodge of dog breeds getting along with each other.
Sweet... I love how you have a pack and how you respect their freedom to be themselves. We had three, one passed last summer. We drive back and forth to Mexico from BC for the winter because the dogs are big. A great Dane and a Dane, Lab cross. Have been for years. I'm surprised by the comments about the border problems. As far as I know all three countries dropped all paperwork requirements a few years ago. They just hand us back the paperwork without even looking at it. â€
Me encanto conocer el Precioso Lenny y la historia sobre su rescate, michel e esposo ustedes tienen un †enorme por adotar cada uno de las mascotas e cuidar, proteger preocupar-se con cada unođ„°đ lamento q tengas perdido uno de ellosđą tengo los mĂos pets es difĂcil cada partida bjus đ a todos
I also have a rescue dog, heâs from Hungary. Rescue dogs are often so thankful! đ
Congrats on bringing Lenny in to the pack! We just brought in a boxer mix rescue named Astoria in to our pack/family. I know he will work out great and bring you tremendous joy! Can't wait to see him in your future videos.
Great video Michy. Bless you and Steve for saving him
WELL Lenny looks a reserved dog as hesitant at times but i do admire you and steve for giving him a chance great welcome for Lenny
Awe! Amazing! The world needs more you and Steveâs. Cheers!
Hound mix plus Sneaky neighbor dog! đ
Wonderful what you two do!
... Well hello there Lenny ... looks like it's all cuddles and spoils from now on ..
.. Totally agree , the void left from a 4-legged member is rough ..... Took me almost 25 years but just recently adopted a shelter dog and after a little acquaintance time ,, the grins and laughter of a dogs personality makes me wish I would have done it sooner .... Steve and Michy ,, you are good people for all ...
Kitty going for boat rides...OMG precious
Thank you for rescuing Lenny, all of our dogs are rescued đ
Heart Printz Lenny, see you soon. Thanx for sharing
Congrats on the new pup nice looking dog đ thanks for sharing with us and saving his life your amazing girl .
PROUD OF YOU! Thank you so much for saving that old boys life!
Kudos to both of your for saving another well deserving gentle soul. I'm sure he'll love his last phase of life in your care.
The two of u are so special!!!!đđČ
Loving Lenny God Bless you guys for saving good old dogs. I used to save a bunch. Down to 2. As I get older it seems the neighborhood left their cats with me to feed. So I saved them too and I'm on the fence with that.
Thanks to you and Steve for saving Lenny. It looks like he is fitting in well.
I personally feel that if your the kinda person that can give a dog, or cat a lovely life. Then although when itâs their time to be gathered, itâs the most awful pain, I feel itâs like your almost duty bound to get another pet, and carry on giving that animal a wonderful life. The love they give back itâs truly amazing! Lenny has gorgeous eyes! đđ
God bless you both, for saving the animals
