    The best way to get over a dog and keep his memory alive is to save another. There are so many dogs out there that need your love and you need theirs.

      I just had to say goodbye to mine. 1 month later, visited Atlanta Animal Control. So many great dogs...I adopted a very sweet girl who was there sitting in her poop. Too many dogs with not enough homes.

    • @travelingtimothy
      @travelingtimothy Před 5 lety +11

      Karin Morris yes yes. The new dog is not a replacement, she is “in addition to” with her own personality, needs and her version of companionship

      I absolutely agree! When my Ryder died i was absolutely heartbroken and bereaft! The silence was deafening. I decided to honor Ryder by saving my Calli! Best decision ever! She immediately helped to heal my heart! I noticed that Calli needed a companion and saved yet another pup...my Sylvie!
      Sylvie really needed me! She needed a mommy and mommy needed Sylvie. We are all a happy pack!

      It was an animal. It was Capone by your side letting you know he's ok Mommy.

    • @roxyie1122
      @roxyie1122 Před 5 lety +9

      I agree. You need another companion that doesn't resemble Capone. You aren't yourself right now, another will keep you going and still provide healing time.
      Whatever you do, don't get a puppy. It requires way too much diligence, and you are distracted right now.

    • @lisaazbill6375
      @lisaazbill6375 Před 5 lety +6

      Having company to share your life with is always better than being alone. Please think about rescuing another furbaby, there are SO many sweet, loveable pets on death row in nearly every state. You could save a life! And give a sweet baby a chance at a wonderful life with you instead if being put down. 😢🐱😢🐕

    • @arabrabann
      @arabrabann Před 3 lety

      O so true, one is not missing a dog, one is missing Capone. It takes what it takes to heal. Adding another canine is the wrong medicine for what ails her now, in THIS season. I honor your grief .

  • @skipmoto3438
    @skipmoto3438 Před 5 lety +43

      @louiseogrady9911 Před 4 lety +3

      I agree! I always tell people who are hurting over the loss of a furbaby that the best thing to do is to open their heart to another. I understand it takes time though. I have three dogs and I dread the day that they have to cross into the spirit world. With love comes heartache. 😢

  • @rickyblythe4951

    Capone was family and grief is normal. I cried over pets like family. It is normal.

    • @sarahmbelden
      @sarahmbelden Před 5 lety +7

      I still cry over a missed pet. Mind you not all the time. Sometimes I think it happens because it is time for a cleansing. I think it's going to be rough for her for a while. My husband got me another dog a year after my Bear died and I couldn't bond with him. There is a season for all things isn't there :)

    Death IS weird. It's been 7 years since my mom died and it's still SO hard. I used to tell my doctor I thought I was having a heart attack and he would tell me it was not cardiac arrest, it's a broken heart. I wish I had words...all I know is you are loved. By soo many people❤

      I know the same misery but it's starting to lift, proving I suppose that it does indeed fade some in time. Now I think I'll have to acknowledge the fact that I spent a long time immersed in a narcissistic endeavor. It was all about me... I'm hurting, I'm missing her, I'm wanting her back, I miss her smile, I, I, I....very self absorbed, grief can be. In my case I was stealing moments in the here and now from myself. Did I go for a walk with my doggies or volunteer at a soup kitchen every time I felt the weight of grief, or do crafts, go bowling, movies, take a class? No. Should I have, and is that what my Mom would have wanted me to do (forcibly distract myself from miserable self-absorbed grief thoughts)? Yup, she would have. Have faith and persevere, the grief will fade. Take it from me, who thought I would be perpetually stuck in it. Now when I think of her there is more joy and less pain. I didn't have the joy of the memories when I was grieving so hard, only the pain. Stay strong, and know that the grief will fade. Our thoughts are with you. 🐞

    I lost my Mom last month September 14th. and the only family I have left is my dog and cat. I am grieving for my Mom and Capone! My Mom watched your videos and loved Capone too. I’m sure she will take him under her wing in Heaven! God bless you Carolyn and I’ve been having left chest pain too since my Mom passed. Here’s a poem I find comforting:
    Do not stand at my grave and weep,
    I am not there; I do not sleep.
    I am a thousand winds that blow,
    I am the diamond glints on snow,
    I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
    I am the gentle autumn rain.
    When you awaken in the morning’s hush
    I am the swift uplifting rush
    Of quiet birds in circled flight.
    I am the soft stars that shine at night.
    Do not stand at my grave and cry,
    I am not there; I did not die.

      I lost my mom three years ago.I still miss her and think about her and the memories are still fresh in my heart and soul. I remember this poem in fact I found my copy of it a couple of days ago. I know there is another stage of life waiting for us. A friend of mine said his father died in the hospital and they brought him back using the paddles. He was (the father) angry that they brought him back. He said that he was loving it on the other side and just getting to explore and visit everyone when he felt a sharp awful pain. They had brought him back and he said it was very painful. He told the family the next time to let him go. Don't bring me back He lived for many years. And when he passed he was left to go on his next journey. Love and Peace to all

    Lady there are so many dogs needing mom’s that are good. You don’t need to be dogless. You need a dog to be with you for many reasons. Another dog will not diminish your love of Capone.

      donna martin yes there are ,but what I'm finding out that since I've lost mine I simply can't afford the high price everyone is asking including the $400 at shelters. I'm on disability now due to an injury at work and don't have that extra money that they are charging yet I sit at home and cry being alone.

    When I lost my last dog I was so broken I couldn't think about another dog. It was three years before I got another one. It made me so happy I shouldn't of waited so long. But no one could of told me that at the time. ALL my pets have left a hole in my heart. But what I have learned is there are others waiting for our love we just need to love them back.

      Yes I've had some heart breaking situations .one I particular a horse 🐎 of 31yrs .I had him 27yrs and done most things with him .he was a remarkable soul never to be replaced but others have come along now and even though different personalities but special I. Other ways this includes a puppy who replaced a 17yr old dog .she's doing a good job and I urge you to get another .they will find you .as a RV I would think a dog is an essential part of personal safety good luck 🎉 uk 🇬🇧 🙏

    @bonnieetc Před 5 lety +15

    Carolyn, I am still crying too. I have had a lot of dogs in my long life and each one was special. Each one's death devastated me. Even now, when I think of some of them I cry. But there is something that helped me through each time. After a couple months, I visited the local shelter and found sad lonely stray or abandoned or lost doggie and adopted them. It helped them. It helped me.
    Of course each one is special. Each one has their very own personality. Each one will be grateful to be a part of your life. It's OK to just cry.

    A few years ago I suffered from heart failure a few months after receiving news of my son's terminal illness. The cardiologist told me there was definitely a medical condition called "broken heart" and he suspected I had it. My little dog is 13 and I know when i lose her it will be every bit as painful as losing my son. We who have lost our fur kids in the past know and accept this. You have many fans who loved Capone and fully understand your grief. Turn to us to help you heal. RIP video buddy, we miss you a lot.

    Grief is weird. You can be going along feeling pretty good. Then, BAM!! Something or nothing can hit you like a tidal wave. And you’re right back to when the grief was fresh and immediate. But eventually, those moments happen less. And the recovery from the tidal wave is easier. Breathing just happens. You can guess thatI I’m speaking from experience. Later edit: remember that there is no right way or wrong way to grieve...there is no statute of limitations. It just is. Don’t forget to breathe.

    Carolyn, Here's a little something I've told my own kids over the years: "It's hard to say good bye, but we have help learning how: First we have pets that we love and love us. We learn responsibility from them, and get great joy. The last thing they do is teach us to say good bye... Then it's grand parents: We receive great love from them, but all too often it's short lived. The last thing they do is teach us to say good bye... And eventually it's our parents, who taught us basically everything we know. And if we're lucky, they gave us unconditional love. Finally, the last thing they do is teach us to say good bye... My kids lost their mother to cancer 12 years ago, when they were very young, so that happened waaay too soon, and out of order... I too watched her die, while I also watched my children watch their mom die. All I can say is I don't recommend it. But it's all part of life. It'll take a while, but you'll be ok. Take care.

    If you get a young dog he or she will love to go with you and have the Strength and Stamina for all you want to do.
    It’s some of the Hardest thing to loose your 4 Footed buddy am so so sorry I know how hard it is. I still miss my Akita’s they have been gone 10

We traveled the roads in my camper since January 2015. He was a champ on the road. I tried to go on a road trip right after losing him. I have been making many crazy decisions since then. Still going nuts as this year comes to a close. I lost my purpose. I truly hope you heal.

    I lost my Fur Baby in 2001, not a day goes by without him in my thoughts, I can still smell him, ya know, that doggy smell that they have. You never ever forget them but trust me , the pain does eventually dissipate & then the healing starts. Been there, done that, know exactly what your feeling now but it WILL get better , then all you have are wonderful memories. Stay Strong xx

    I didn’t realize when I clicked on this that it was from 5 years ago! My heart is breaking for you! I lost my boy Rascal to cancer years ago. I got him when he was 8 weeks old and he helped me get through taking care of my Gramma for 12 years. I lost him right before I lost my Gramma. That was a very hard time for me. So I know that pain and it’s crushing. Fast forward to now: I’m so glad that you found Sadie. I hope she stays around for a long time! Since I lost my Rascal, I’ve lost 2 more of my babies 2- rescued toy Poodles. One from a puppy mill, one from a rescue group that found him in the street. It’s so hard to open your heart, knowing that one day it will be broken again, but it’s worth it. I now have 2 toy/mini poodles- Lily Grace and Toby. She’s 8, he’s 6. I still fear they will have heart problems, that’s why my other two passed. But I just can’t help myself, I have so much love to give. And there are too many unwanted fur babies in need. I’ve had dogs all my life. I can’t imagine life without them!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🐶🐶

I went from having a husband, son and fur babies to having no one. Your story is breaking my heart. God bless

      @LivingAble Před 5 lety +2

      Sometimes a thumbs-down is more like a I'm sad you're sad. Not a I don't like this video. More like empathizing. Thankfully a thumbs-down doesn't affect anything really. I know some people that click the same button whether it's a thumbs-up or thumbs-down or smile or whatever no matter what the video just to acknowledge that they seen it. So don't take a thumbs down too serious

    It's great you can do 'sorry camp' here on youtube with us all. Many people don't realise what big souls our animal companions can have. I've conducted funeral for people's pets - along with wonderful euologies and stories in nicely printed memento books/brochures. So beautiful. Would love to show you some. Take it slowly. Do it at your own speed. Talk when you need to - cry when you need too. Ya can even wail. Lots of people loved Capone - he had a big fan club. Thanks for being with us all Capone.

    I happened upon you by accident and just WOW!!
    I can’t express how impressed I am with your adventures. I am living vicariously through you! As a youngster I dreamt of traveling across America and beyond. Like you, I followed another path.
    I’ve never given up hope but it looks like I’ll not see the roads from an RV anytime soon. What I found myself doing while watching this.... CRYING.... for you and Capone. I think you’re awesome. Capone was blessed as were you. Someday another dog may wander into your life... or not. Just as long as you have your time to grieve... so be it.
    Happy Trails! I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m looking forward to your future travels. Stop making me cry!! I’d much rather laugh at all the moments he made your day!
    BTW .... Let the haters hate. There’s always going to be a few

    I would prescribe a change of scenery for you. Go to the nearest international airport, park the RV in long term parking, pack a bag and go somewhere you normally don't go that would relax you. For me, that place is Tahiti but anywhere relaxing. Some suggestions: a last minute cruise, Hawaii, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone (during the winter it is an awesome drive), Fiji, or Belize. I remember when I was working pretty hard, was alone after a relationship breakup, and feeling depressed. I asked my office manager to book a conference in San Francisco, and when I got on the plane and it rose above the clouds out of OC, the sun hit my face, I IMMEDIATELY felt better. And, I realized that I had not seen the sun for a month (June Gloom, you know what it is being a California Girl). Turned it around for me. Good luck.

    I'm happy for you to hear you say that you're beginning to do better. As you know, it takes time. I lost my Pit Ginger a little over a year ago. I appreciate the freedom, like you, but I still miss her so much. I'm almost 70 and thought this would just pass, and that I would get through it faster. But no. She's in her backyard now, and every night I still say good night and let her know that she lives in my heart now, and always will. It does get better, but it never goes away. God bless you for being such a good mom. Capone was happy and got to experience so much, and it was all thanks to you, and your love for Capone. I cried when you toasted Capone. You're such a good person. You're in my prayers.
    Carolyn, you're already Vegan, take the next step and go plant based. It's really the best way to go. I know you're not me, but everyone I know, and all my family, knows I'm plant based. Every time I visit and they want to cook for me, I say no, I go to the store and get the stuff that I eat, always a bit more so they can have some too, and have my meal with them. I never ask them to change what they do, but I never compromise what I'm doing for myself by giving in. Just be strong, and always have something that you can eat so that when they offer, you can say, "Just a minute", and bring something in that you can prepare for your meal, then share the moment with your friends more comfortably.

    So sorry for your loss. I lost my dog a year ago and thought that I would never be happy again. I didn't want to be happy again. But it's human nature that with time memories of death fade or are replaced by memories of happy and good times with your companion. She will always be in my heart, and you will never forget your dog, but time heals, so hang in there.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. My beautiful cat just died a few weeks ago and it was a very similar situation. My cat was fine - playing, eating, totally normal and then it seemed like all of a sudden he stopped eating. Two vets later and $1000, he was diagnosed with lymphoma and had to be put to sleep. So heartbreaking. At least they didn't suffer. I'm so glad about that. Hang in there!

    Tears are flowing at a steady pace...😢 Capone was one lucky pup, no doubt about it. I’ve lost 2 fur babies in the past few years and while it does get easier, it’s still hurts when I come across pictures or videos. I have true withdrawal from being a mom to a fur baby. It might be time to rescue a new baby. I hope your heart mends soon, really soon. 💗

    Carolyn.... Im still grieving my Boxer, Brutus, 15 years or more ago. Taking care of a precious dog will help when you are ready. Sometimes they find you. Take that chance when it comes. Life is just too short to be by yourself. I know your grief and you will always grieve to a degree. I cry every single time I watch you and remember my Angel Dog 🐕 and what a big caretaker and love he gave me always! God bless you and you can come and spend time on our farm in N. Texas. You can take walks and just be. We are older and wont intrude. Well you are welcome if you are coming this way! Such good memories! Let me know if you want to come. We have 26 acres and a 30 amp hookup if needed.
