    Kevin, please stop apologizing. You've done nothing wrong. You are going through it right now and we all understand. You owe us nothing, as it is, and yet you still made this video and included us in honoring Martini. Thank you for sharing her with us. She will live on in all of our memories. Prayers for strength as you navigate this time.

    Kevin, we had a Yorly, Hunter, he passed at 14. He was in my arms all night I thought he was getting stronger & I put him my wife’s arms & was out of the room for 2 minutes. Went I returned he was gone. Little guy just waited for me to excuse myself & he left, January 22, 2022 @ 3:33 am! Thank you so very much for sharing Martini’s passing with us! Half way through the tears started rolling my face & I needed to release that! Thanks again for being compassionate enough to share this with us! God Bless You!

    Kevin, I’m so sorry for the loss of your sweet and so very special Martini. She’s waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. We all grieve and hurt at our losses, but we all do it differently, in our own way. My Yorkie, Selena Marie, had to be put to sleep the end of June of this year. I still haven’t gotten my smile back. Don’t feel like I will. She was cremated. My cat, PurrPurr, had to be put to sleep about six months before I got her. He was cremated. They both are to be put in my casket with me when I die. My family has been told. Sincere condolences and tender thoughts. May God continue to bless and watch over you and your babies.

    My heart is just breaking watching your video 😢 Dogs have genetics just like we do. My friend had a K-9 German Shepherd that died of cancer at 1 year old. We all never know how long we’re gonna live or how long our pets will live. My cat died a few months ago, he was10 years old, he died in his sleep right next to me. I was tore up for a long time. I’m sorry you lost your baby girl, I wish it didn’t hurt so bad to loose our babies. You gave her a long loving happy life, well done my brother, God is smiling down on you.

Loosing a dog that sang every day and brought so much joy into my life is very difficult and I don’t think I will ever get over loosing her! I understand your pain! My heart aches for you, it’s your right to greave any way you do…. No one has the right to judge you. Take all the time you need. God bless you for being such a good daddy. I said I didn’t want any more and never say never my cat came and then now the rabbit! Both rescues. God knows I need them and they need me. Your pain is real as is mine, Thank you for sharing.

Never apologized for caring. I still miss my Rylee I had him from about 3 weeks as a bottle baby till he was 17 years 2 months and 2 weeks. Martini will always be with you in your heart ♥much love to you and the woof pack♥ She will forever be in our hearts too. Thank you for sharing her with us all these years.

Friday night he seamed fine, but during the night he had walked over by the rear patio doors laid down and pass away. That's how we found him the next morning. We have most of our dogs ashes on a shelf in the master bedroom closet. The wife says she wants her ashes and theirs all mixed together and spread out together. 😪

I could feel the bed moving when he came to join me each night for nearly a year after he passed. I still find myself missing him so much. He was a rescue & I had him since he was 3 months old. Am thankful he was with me for only so long, yet not long enough. My beautiful blue eyed baby boy.💔❤️‍🩹

My heart goes out to you. Our little angels are in Heaven, I truly believe that. My sweet angel is buried in her favorite place with her favorite toys and a lock of "Mommy's" hair...she was my world.

    Kevin just no words could express how very heartbroken I am for the loss of martini. I love the special bond you have with all your furbabies.
    I had heard on Felix’s channel that you had lost her around the same time he had lost foxy.
    Around 14 years ago, my husband and I found a mini schnauzer in the middle of the road when we were able to find the owner the man stated that he needed to get rid of him and I said we will take him that baby jump back up into the car when I said we will take him And from that day forward, he was the sweetest and loving part of our lives.
    My husband passed away in March 20 22 and December 28 2022 at 1:30 AM. I had to say goodbye to that sweet baby hardest hardest thing I think I ever had to endure was to have one put down. They are part of our family that the pain is just hard to explain.
    Just wanted you to know how very much I love your channel. I love watching you with your babies and I’m sure a lot of us are feeling your pain so don’t feel like you are alone in this watching your video this morning and it brought back so many memories of what I had to go through, the exact same thing you went through to have to put martini that sweet baby girl I had to put my sweet boy down.
    She and all our babies are just across the rainbow bridge and one day one day we will be with them again as we meet them across the rainbow bridge. ❤❤❤🐾🐾🐾🐾

Lost 2 friends, a cousin, and my 11-year-old cat this year. When you said you haven't had time to process everything, it hit home for me. I feel like I've been on a toboggan ride down Mt. Everest this year. Just trying to hold on but not processing the ride. May we both have a better 2025 - not perfect - but better. God bless you!

    Kevin … I’ll try to keep this short. I am behind, beside, for, and with both you, Felix, and the woof pack. I grieve the losses you have sustained this year from your mother through your friends to Martini. Your friend Felix is in a whale of a fight trying to restore himself to health. You are in my “inner circle” of UA-cam creators!!! I said all that to say this: you take as much time as you need to deal with Martini’s loss and the other issues in your life. I’m not going anywhere, unless the Lord has plans for me that I don’t know about. That said, take as much time as you need cause I can tell you this; your true fans (and I’m amongst the top of them) will be there for and when you return. Allow yourself to grieve and we’ll be here when you get back!!! Promise!!!!! Until your next video and beyond, be kind and gentle to yourself!!! God bless Martini, you, your family, and of course, the woof pack. Y’all are all in prayer!!! Chuck Knight from Atascocita (Houston), Texas. ✝️👨‍🌾🐩🙏

    I went through losing my mother to cancer, miss her every day. Several years later lost my father at 81, think of him every day. Then both my brothers within 2 years, both 81. Then we had to have out toy poodle put down at age 16 due to poor health, whole family…my wife, son, and I were with him. Gave him a shot so he would first sleep. Vet listened to his heart, looked at us, and said, He’s gone. His heart was that weak. This was on Dec. 24th, like 8 years ago, and Christmas lost some of its joy to us since then. We all grieve for our loved ones, and our pets are like our children. It’s hard, and I empathize with you Kevin. You were so blessed to have her that long. I too believe at animals can gain heaven, they are like little children and are innocent at heart. Thanks for this video, to express your feelings so openly shows you are fine and caring person. Like we say at my church….We love you, and there is nothing you can do about it!

    I have had her for 13 years.
    My vet is amazed how well she is doing for a senior. She gave us a scare back in the spring, she was acting like she had been poisoned. She only goes out to do her business BUT we do live in the woods.
    She had all but given up but we nursed her back for now.
    We had her yearly vet visit this last June & everything came back well.
    Everyday is a gift at this point.

    Kevin, grieve as much as you need to. I lost my Sammy Oct 2022, almost 2 years. We were together for a little over 16 years. I cried for many months but now I smile remembering my baby Sammy and how much he enriched my life and how lucky we were to have that short time together. We don't get them for long but they leave a large impression on us forever. I have to believe we will see them again. It's the only way that I can manage this grief. Martini had a wonderful life, she travelled to so many places and had such adventures. She was loved so much and she knew it. She was a lucky gal to have you as her daddy for so many years. Take time for yourself, remember her fondly and let the grief happen.

    Kevin, Sometimes that greatest love of all is knowing when the time to let go has arrived. I've had to do this so many times in my lifetime and it's never easy. All of my pets that have passed travel with me in my RV. I have a Yorkie/Rat terrier mix that is the love of my life. She's aging but she's a happy girl. I also have a Chihuahua and a cat. I dread the day when I have to make that decision but know I could never watch any of them suffer. Thank you for sharing your journey with Martini.

We all know Martini was your best loved little girl; she was the boss! Thank you for telling us what happened to her and why she went downhill so quickly. My heart goes out to you, and I pray for your healing and peace. RIP, Martini...the leader of the Woof Pack and beloved by so many. Hugs to you, Kevin. This is so hard. Many of us understand, and those who don't aren't worth worrying about. One loss after another is devastating and crippling. Yet life moves on. We are changed. I know you will smile again one day, despite this lingering grief.

    Kevin, you don’t have to apologize for loving martini, your sleeping with her urn is not silly, we all do what we need to do to grieve heal and get through the process of loosing a loved one, whether it’s a pet or a person or both! We all grieve differently and process grief different and you showing your emotions is part of that process and shows how much you love and care for all your furry family!They are family to us who have shared the love of God’s furry pets that he has allowed us to share a part of our life with them. Huggs kevin you will get through this hard time with the help of all of your human and furry friends!

    Oh my God, Kevin, I (along with a LOT more people) are so, so sorry to learn of Martini. It brought back memories of a couple years ago when we had to put one of our sister kitties asleep too. Massive kidney failure. We both think of her often, remembering all the joy she gave us for 13 almost 14 years. Her litter sister is still with us, turning 18 last May. You just never know what will be thrown at you with your human and pet family. It’s taken me several minutes after your video to calm down to write this. I literally feel the pain you are in, and feel so badly for you. It IS very difficult losing someone so close to you, that brought so much happiness to your life. At the end, in that final photo of her at the vet’s office, I could easily see she wanted her discomfort to end, and she looked to you for relief. Just know you did the right thing for her, and relieved her of her pain. I am hugging you right now, Kevin… ❤️, Virginia

    My heart is breaking for you Kevin. I lost my little Yorkie on Valentine’s Day 10 yrs ago and I still cry because I miss her. Martini reminded me of her. When I read about Martini passing I cried, she was a special baby. I understand your pain. My thoughts and prayers are with you…May y’all find peace and comfort knowing Martini is no longer hurting. Give yourself some grace and no need for you to apologize to anyone. Take as much time as you need, we will be here patiently waiting.
    Big Hugs to you and the woof pack.

    Prayers for you and the Woof Pack. I cried with you through this video. My first dog was abused before she came to me. I couldn't believe a person could be so cruel to another living being. I gave her the best years I could, and she knew she was loved. When she died, I found out what depression was. It's truly soul crushing. Today I am crying for you and Martini and Corker. My pastor assured me that dogs go to heaven and they will be there to greet us when we join them. She is one of your guardian angels now. I'm sure you've read The Rainbow Bridge. If you haven't, read it and have another good cry. You gave her a very good life.

    The Loss of a Friend
    "If it should be that I grow weak and pain should keep me from my sleep, then you must do what must be done, for this last battle cannot be won. You will be sad and I understand, but don't let your grief then stay in your hand. For this day more than all the rest, your love for me must stand the test. We've had so many happy years, what is to come can hold no fears. You'd not want me to suffer so the time has come, please let me go. Take me to where my needs they'll tend and please stay with me till the end. Hold me firm and speak to me until my eyes no longer see. I know in time that you will see the kindness that you did for me. Although my tail has last waved, from pain and suffering I have been saved. Please do not grieve it must be you, who has this painful thing to do. We've been so close we two these years, don't let your heart hold back its tears."
    There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys, all of it covered with lush green grass. When a beloved pet passes, the pet goes to this lovely land. There is always food and water, and warm spring weather. There the old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole once more. They play all day with each other, content and comfortable. There is only one thing missing. They are not with the special person who loved them on earth. So each day they run and play until the day comes when one stops playing and looks up! Then the nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! You have been seen and that one suddenly runs from the group. You take them in your arms and embrace them. Your face is kissed again and again and again! You look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then together, you cross the Rainbow Bridge, never to be separated again .
    I have watched you from your beginning journeys Georgia girl here. Keeping you in prayer.

    Kevin, I’m sorry for the loss of Martini. My Jack Russell lived to be 18 years old. He passed away in 2018. I still think of him every single day, & it makes me smile when I look at old videos and pictures of him. I was devastated when he passed, but I learned to cope. I said this to say that things are hard now, but your heavy grief will lift. 💗

    I give our heavenly Father praise that things were peaceful as she crossed into paradise. God still has a plan for the rest of your life, & it includes much joy & blessings. Continue to accept yourself and embrace your instincts on what you need to heal. Jesus is with you.
    And I am too.

    Always praying for you and the babies. The funeral director told us when we were there when my sister's boyfriend passed, about a lady who would take her husband's ashes in the car with her. Setting his urn on the seat next to her, and in his chair at home. Then later on she set him in the back seat. and as time went on she was ready to set his urn on the shelf at home. It takes time sometimes. We are all different. Love you all ❤

    Kevin. Sorry to hear what you’re going through. My mother in law suffered with stage 4 lung cancer for two years. She was in the hospital for a few days at the end of July and she knew it was her time. She came to live with my wife and I at the end of July with hospice helping and passed away on August 5th early in the morning. I was by her side when it happened. My girl pup woke me in the next room, she knew. I had to go upstairs afterwards and get my wife who was trying to get a few hours of sleep. The reason I tell you this is that yes you’re right. Dogs know. They have a way about them. They are special and enrich our lives. I’ve had to put a couple down myself and it’s the hardest thing ever. Sending positive thoughts and prayers to you.

    Nothing helps right now, but only time will heal the hurt that we’re feeling. I wish I could say something to make us both feel better, but the words 18:42 aren’t there.

    So touching to hear about your precious Martinis passing!! She lived her best life with you and the pack. She runs free in heaven until you meet again. Kevin praises to you for being the best daddy Martini could ever ask for. Healing takes time but slowly you will get through the process of losing Martini! God is there for you and will carry you through this process. We will miss Martini but will fondly remember her forever. She was very special and loved by everyone. RIP Martini ❤🙏🥰

    I knew that this video was going to be hard, but perhaps it will also help with the healing.

We're praying that you have reached the stopping point so you can recover.

It brought me to my knees with a broken heart and just a devastating loss. I couldn't walk. I couldn't eat. I'm looking at his ashes now. It's been over a decade. I will never stop missing you coffee. Stay strong Kevin. Take your time.

    Kevin you are the most honest person on UA-cam. The Woof pack are darlings. I know how hard it is to lose your loving pets, because they are your family too. Like I told you in my last post, my wife and I lost our beautiful boy, Arlo early last year. We also lost our Chihuahua Princess Tiny a little over a year before that. She was old and we knew we wouldn't have her for very much longer. Losing her was really hard on me, because she loved her daddy.
    Again, don't worry about the haters. You have plenty of us who care about you and your darling puppies.

    Kevin, you need time to grieve all these losses. Anyone who has lived for many years knows that grief is the hardest thing most of us ever experience. Also, the loss of a pet is sometimes harder than any other because we get so close to our pets, and they rely so much on us for everything. We have lost a dog almost 13 years ago and he was special. Now we have one who is going to be 13 soon and my husband can’t even talk about her age. She’s a Yellow Lab and she has slowed down in the past year and can no longer jump on the bed or go for a walk. I know when that day comes, it will be just as hard as losing the first dog. She helped my husband heal from the loss of Sarge, our first dog. Thank you for sharing this video. My prayers are with you. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

    God has truly blessed you with those precious pups. They all are grieving with you, Kevin. He sent Dexter to you at the perfect time. I have cats who tend to live up to 20 years. It seems to me that within a month of "planting" one, another one shows up on my doorstep... The ones we lose can never be replaced, but God always fills that void with a completely different personality that brings new life into your world. Nothing is ever by chance. Thank you for loving your babies so much & sharing them with all of us. We will miss precious Martini & will never forget her sparky personality. 🐾💕

I too lost 2 Yorkies after very rapid decline from enlarged hearts….I took very good care of them, premium food and great vet care but neither made it 14 years. Watching this video, brought me back to that place and I so understand why your heart is broken. You have to apologize to NO ONE! Do whatever you can to take care of yourself and your babies and know we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers❤
