    I lost my sweet cat Miyuki a month ago and I miss her dearly. She was not my pet, but my best friend and companion, and although I knew that bond could not last forever because she was already an older cat when I adopted her, I am grieving her as I would any other close family member, because to me she was family.
    I am happy to say that I was able to enjoy her fully and and I am sure this pain will pass. But I'm still dealing with this hurt. 😢 Your videos give me so much comfort, thank you Linnea ❤️ I wish you and Akela many years of health and love.

    I lost my sis a year and a half ago and am still grieving her but although I will likely be criticized for this, the worst loss I ever had was Sadie-the-Dog. She was THE dog of my life and I will never stop grieving her loss. It's something you cannot prepare for.

    Linenea, I always take a deep breath and sigh when I see your videos pop up. It's because while I know I'm going to enjoy it very much, I also know your gonna give me some feels. I love how you are living your life without boundaries or limitations. You do what you want to do. I was born in an age when you self sacrifice because ... it's what you're supposed to do. So while I regret that I haven't lived the things I wanted, I get to watch you go out and do it. Thank you for sharing your doing and living. I get to experience a little of it through you.

    There are certain accomplishments in your life where you feel a sense of pride. High school graduation, college graduation, your first "real" job, buying your first car. But, that moment that you get your first piece of property all on your own, whether it's raw land or a house, is an accomplishment that can't be beat. You may move on to another, but the first is something that will be cherished.
    I'm looking forward to all your adventures in land ownership.
    Good job young lady.

    The little snake cup is BEAUTIFUL. I would totally buy one if you sold them--fyi. I'm so blown away by how great your pottery is, and you a novice!
    I love how well you feed your sweet dog. That's true love. Grief is the great human burden. It's so hard. I just lost my best friend of 17 years, a little Siberian mix kitty named Arthur. He was the gentlest, most sweet and innocent, loving creature. Nothing and nobody can ever take his place. I cry for him every day. You just learn to live with it and keep the memory of them alive in your heart. I know he's still with me; I just can only hug him in my mind now.
    Thank you for all the beautiful scenery! I love the red deserts of the Southwest. They heal my soul. And thanks too for the healthy food inspiration. You rock! Can't wait to see what you do with your land.
