    The loss of a pet is one of the hardest things to go through, you never get over it. But your new puppy will help fill that hole in your heart and put joy back in your life.

    A beautiful tribute to Whiskey, a family holiday with your parents, and a welcome to the family for Kenji. I know the sadness of losing a dear pet and understand how empty a house feels when they've gone. May you enjoy many happy moments with Kenji and keep Whiskey in your heart.

Looking at the love in his cute little eyes that he has in store for you is so heartwarming. My family and I watch every episode of yours. You are the best and kindest chef❤

    Great travel vlog -and a beautiful tribute to your beloved Whiskey.
    There is no pain like the pain of losing the unconditional love of a dog. My girl fell victim to a vicious cancer and died within 8 weeks of diagnosis, aged 13. It was a terrible shock, and the grief was, and five years on still is, indescribable.
    Bravo for opening your heart and home to another precious little soul, to enjoy the same wonderful quality of life your much-loved Whiskey did. Godspeed, beautiful boy. XXX

    My last Dog was a Rescue, I went to my local shelter and quietly walked up through past the pounds, until Fudge came up to the bars, sniffed and licked my hand. She was a beautiful Welsh Border Collie, about 7 years old. She had been in the Shelter twice and was hard work at the start. But a few months in she became the most loyal Dog I have had to pleasure to own. Broke my Heart when she passed and I just haven't been able to face getting another! ✌❤🙏🇬🇧

    My Joel! He must have been an animal soul mate for you! I just KNOW how animals are LOVED. I am a born animal lover..❤ As for Bali, they say it is a beautiful island! Now. Only a few people can afford such a huge , beautiful, quality villa there! But if this villa made you feel well , in order to compensate your loss, good for you! ❤ I personally would love to go to my beloved Greek islands and stay in a rather small, neat , serene, and beautiful place , by the turquoise sea , listening to the soft sea waves splashing close to my bedroom...Watching the stars from my open window before I fall asleep...❤❤❤

      @recipe30 After I replied to you above, I started thinking that Bali is so close to your home Australia, therefore very convenient in a certain way. For me that I live in Northern Europe , Greece is my Love, Peace, and Harmony refuge , but ONLY in the islands . And early Spring or early Autumn...❤️

    What a wonderful video to share. Loosing a pet is such a hard thing to go through. The emptiness and sadness that you feel overwhelms you to the point that you feel consumed by it. Somehow we get past it and are ready to open our hearts and give our love to a new companion which can fill that void left in our heart by our loss. Never to be replaced, but to bestow our love to a new family member while never forgetting the wonderful memories and happiness that our departed and beloved pet gave us. Till we meet again at the rainbow bridge so that we may cross it together. Cheers chef, may Kenji give you many years of the love and companionship that Whiskey gave to you. Well done!
