I just feel goosebump watching this video as I have been watching you since I was in my 20s (now I'm 35!!), graduated college, worked, came out, have my first relationship, my second, work, travel, my third, travel some more, work and now my fourth in the span of over a decade and more and you have been the constant thing (besides my friends and family of course lol). I relate to the loneliness you mentioned and we all have been there. I have been reflecting and healing too, unlearning my own self-sabotage and loving myself - seems like you did too. Cheers to us, Mark, and best wishes for you always! Xx
it breaks my heart to see Olive vulnerable. She is so lucky to have you for a dad Mark -- to care for her and love her back to health. We love you Olive -- (since you were a little puppy) and we are cheering you on.
Mark, our Yellow Labrador had the same injury. He was only one year old at the time. We found an excellent Vet Surgeon in San Diego who only performed TPLO (ACL tear) surgery. While our pup was recuperating he tore his other ACL, so back to the same surgeon we went for a second surgery. He is now 3 years old and is doing fantastic and fully recovered. Back to fetching and playing. Best wishes to Olive on her recovery. Labradors are the best!
i keep coming back to your channel once in a while and honestly it feels like talking to an old friend. Thank you, Mark. Wish you the best! And kisses for Olive xx
I'm sorry to see Olive is injured. I hope she has a quick recovery. Enjoy your summer and treat yourself!!! Have fun and enjoy the journey. :) Allow yourself to feel the feels and not overthink it.
Thanks for taking good care of your puppy! She seems to be doing great. You are such a nice guy and deserve the best husband ever! Many blessings to you and the puppy…
Wishing Olive a speedy and full recovery. Overthinking sucks it happens... Enjoy the ride dear. Wishing success (whatever that means to you) on this blossoming relationship. For all the joy you share with the world, you deserve just as much and then some!
Sending Healing positive thoughts for Olive. Last year a friend's little Chihuahua hurt it's back and needed surgery. I think pet insurance covered some and she paid the rest. She has 4 other dogs. Take care.
Poor doggie... You are taking great care of your dog. Your dog will be well soon. You are should enjoy the happiness and live. I understand how it can be and how it feels.
Favorite part was the little block of words at the end thanking people for being there and reminding the to walk up and make it a great day, went quick, and I had to pause the video to read it, but worth it!
Poor Olive! But she is a trooper. And so are you, the shock and concern you felt for her was visible. That strawberry shortcake looked very much like what we call in a cream tea. Scone, with or without raisins, jam and clotted cream. I like mine with clotted cream and jam on top.
My last dog, who was about Olive's size, did this...at the age of thirteen and a half. She handled the surgery okay, and after the three month rehab she was fine. She could no longer jump up into the back seat of my SUV, but then it had been getting a bit more difficult for her prior. Just follow the vet's schedule for her rehab, and she'll be fine!
So sorry about your dog. :( as a dog dad myself it sounds like a worst nightmare situation. Glad Olive is Recovering. Congratulations on meeting someone, I'm really excited for you (and him!) have fun and be well. ~~~
I am glad to be watching your videos again. Its been sometime. Your still such an incredible and Cool Person. Sorry to hear about your dog. I am glad she is on her way to recovery. Keep the videos coming 🥰💪👨❤💋👨👬👨❤👨
Still love your video's! 🥰I have been subscribed since around 2014, so that's almost 10 years! 🤯 My mom's advise is: "Er is één de belangrijkste en dat ben jezelf", which means: "There is only one the most important and that is yourself". So take care! 💝 Greetings from The Netherlands!😊❤🤍💙
Mark, I really enjoy your videos because they make me smile and inspire me to be more kind, adventurous and genuine. I hope Olive gets better soon and I'm glad she has YOU to take care of HER. Greetings from Mexico and I really hope I get to meet you one day. I know I will!! ❤✨
Thanks for another little window into your Indy life! I always enjoy the view. I hope that you enjoyed Indy Pride. I just didn't make it this year. Sometimes it seems like Avon is on the "other side of the world", and it's such a chore to get into downtown Indy and find parking, etc. Years ago I lived on the 29th floor of one of the Riley Towers, and enjoyed downtown - but then I could walk wherever I wanted downtown. Now I guess I've just settled for the suburban life in my nice little condo. It's always nice to virtually connect with the downtown life, again, through your updates. Thanks, again!
Olive is lucky to have you. You seem like such a caring soul. I hope your new bf appreciates you for you, and doesn’t ask for more. That’s where relationship problems start. Early in your videos you said, you are enough, and that has always resonated with me. Best wishes Mark!
Sending olive hugs and a speedy recovery 🫶🏽. And mark just keep going don’t be afraid or wait for the bad to come. Allow yourself to be happy 🫶🏽you deserve it!
You are a wonderful caregiver for Olive. My husband just took care of me following a recent surgery. He's a sweetie, too, although I'm glad he didn't know about the cone and cage options, cuz those would have been implemented for sure. Love to you! PS...still love and wear my "Everyday's a great day" tee.
looking good, old friend. i’m rooting for you, you look happy. listen to that hair stylist ❤️❤️ olive will be back to fetching in no time, a true champ
Oh wow!! Bless the little one there in your life. I hope the next vet checkups and/or more operations while be fine!!! Also, thank you fir sharing feelings about being alone. And yes, going out is ok!OK!! But it is important first to make sure that you yourself are emotionally and mentally ready to start to see someone!!! So, living or being alone us ok!! You have your Little one to share you home so, really you are not alone. But I understand what you were saying. Soft laughing! Hahaha! For me, I have been alone for a number of years now!! When I was taking care of my Mother a few years ago, I was comfortable not dating. Then when my Mother went to heaven I still did not date. And have be comfortable on my own over the last 5 years now. I take living day by day. For you, please be safe and enjoy your summer safely.
I think Olive has better insurance than me…lucky dog. Thanks for sharing the heartfelt words at end of vid…it a great feeling to see/hear/read a message that somehow appears to be personalized just for the one reading it at that moment.
regular, twice weekly, getting out of your head, back into your body, practice sessions. i was lucky quitting alcohol/tobacco insurance covered (group) behavioral therapy classes. she (facilitator) called it mindfulness, started every session with 15 minutes of it, after about 9 months i got pretty good at it. as kids some of us learned to escape into the safety of our head habitually, hardwired it neurologically, unconsciously. unlearning this habit, ignoring yourself, escaping back out into the safety of our bodies, letting it go, can become helpful. good update. thx
Aww I'm sorry about Olive. Hope she gets better soon ♥️ Very excited for you being out in the dating scene again and meeting new and interesting people. I hope it all goes well with this guy you're currently seeing. Always a pleasure watching your videos, Mark! Have a great week xx
Glad things are gling well for you, Mark! Give Olive a hug and kisses and an extra puppacino for me. I hope she heals quickly, and without complications or setbacks. (You never know with a dog being a dog!) I hope your summer together is filled with cuddles and dog/boy company, and eventually, some lake time together! It's still a great day to live life! 💛
Love you Marke, you have a great soul and mind, you are a life learner, we all are. Hope Olive gets better quickly, she is a strong girl like her Papa. Love from this Turkish girl teheh
I love your videos Mark ❤ I've been watching for AGES now, and even though like you said our relationship is through a screen, it is so much more than that! You inspire me and seeing you progress, take care of yourself, Olive, your family, and friends, brings me joy ❤ Keep doing you ❤ Every day is a great day 💗💪🏼🙌🏼
Glad you are having a good time these days, Sorry to hear about Olive! Hope she recovers quickly and gets to enjoy some summer! And I am happy to hear you are getting back out there and seeing people! you are handsome and sweet and have a lot to offer a partner. Have fun Mark!
You're a beautiful man Mark, in all ways. I was very fortunate to have found a much younger man 32 years ago, and you remind me a lot of him. He will be 50 in July, and is even more beautiful now....mentally and physically.... You are a great father to your buddies.....
Sending well wishes to Olive..hang in there it feels like a lot I know but it does get easier my Husky tore her LEFT ACL September last year…then tore her right one 3 weeks later so ended up having 2 TTA surgeries within 6 weeks ..there we’re definitely times I didn’t think we’d ever get her to a good recovery but she’s all discharged and doing great now.
Oh no! That really sucks. I went through that with my German Shepherd. I ended up having to get both of her rear legs done. She will bounce back, although she may not be as nimble. ❤
I too have been suffering from a profound amount of loneliness. I have just kind of given up on the gay community, ya know? All of my friends are straight guys with kids. I will turn 40 this year. I live in Columbus, Ohio. I haven't been to a gay bar in town here in 12+ years. I dated a guy for almost a decade until he cheated on me - and you know what? I'd rather be alone than in an open relationship, or with someone that doesn't love me for me. I happen to be a pretty cool guy. :) After a few years of living alone for the first time in my life, I have finally discovered that I am awesome! As it looks like you have discovered too. :) I don't really know what I am saying, other than that I am happy you found someone whose company you enjoy. I'll leave you with one of my favorite Captain Picard quotes: "If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for who we really are!" (IE, just be yourself man!)
Hope you and Olive have a better than expected summer. Also hope you continue to stay “out of your head” Hopefully pride was also good for you! Here’s to seeing out out on Mass Ave sometime with Olive and your guy!
Poor Oliver I hope she had a good recovery. My clover tore her alc in November running after a ball. Ball was life. Could not afford the surgery. We did anti inflammatory and pain Management. Got her a 30 buck brace. It took a long time but she is running and playing again. No more ball retrieving thou. Live me some strawberry shortcake as well.
only you can make you happy it's not things or work or other people that make you happy I have lived alone for nearly 20 years and have never been lonely. Glad to see that Olive is on the mend and I wish you both health and happiness
Wishing Olive the best! And Mark, I’m feeling the same way. Trying to overcome loneliness, by going out of my way to make connections. Just trusting the process ❤
🥲Aw poor Olive I hope she gets better soon and you have a great summer MarkE ❤
“Allow yourself to be excited” lovely advice from your hair stylist. Get better soon Olive. Thanks for posting Mark ❤
Best wishes for Olive's full recovery. Best wishes to you as well. Enjoy the ride. No rush. Best wishes. ❤️🏳️🌈

Mark gives me all the feels! Such a great human. Much Love!
Mark, dont ever settle in love, you deserve a prince!
Your hair stylist is SPOT ON. Thank you for sharing that! In a newer relationship myself and I'm overthinking every breath I take. 🙃
Prayers for Olive's speedy recovery. You two are a dynamic duo. Olive is so blessed to have you. 😊🎉❤

So happy you’re happy and letting life happen FOR you and not to you. You inspire me. I am a super fan bc I can relate
You deserve so much to be happy!! Sending you lots of love! A long time subscriber from Italy ❤
