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.
We remember Whiskey with every new video. Thank you for including us as you remember him. Kenji is a lucky dog and owes his wonderful life to Whiskey ❤
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.
Dear Chef Joel, seeing Whiskey again brought shivers down my spine☹ But he had a good life with the best love possible by someone as kind as you❣ Now young Kenji has entered your life and he is visibly growing by the day. 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❤
What a beautiful film, honouring Whiskey and welcoming Kenji. Dogs enhance our lives immeasurably, but their loss is immeasurable too. And what a lovely place Bali is, full of elegant gracious people, immaculate style and food. Thank you!
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
@@recipe30 Absolutely, Whiskey is totally irreplaceable. Being open to that new chapter with Kenji is a beautiful tribute to the life and love you shared. You have inspired me, five years on, to consider doing the same - thank you. XXX
Thank you for sharing this personal journey with us, Chef Joel. Bali is breathtaking! But watching you connect with Kenji was absolutely the best. Gotta admit, there are some tears clouding my vision as I type this.
Thank you Chef Joel for sharing your journey of healing with us. Your love for Whiskey is always going to keep a sweet bond for both of you. We hope life continues to bring new happinness to you. I enjoyed seeing and hearing about Bali through your travels. Beautifully and thoughtfully put together. Thank you for sharing.
Dear chef Joel, thank you for sharing your journey with us. Losing our beloved pet is extremely difficult. I feel your sadness as I lost my dog too. So happy to see the joy again in your home! Whiskey must feel the love from your family and your millions of subscribers that loved him! Lots of hugs ❤
What a beautiful retreat and so happy to hear that your parents came along. Thank you, Chef Joel for taking us along and sharing this very private and personal journey with us. Whiskey will be remembered and never forgotten. We look forward to seeing more of Kenji. You are training him very well. I especially enjoyed this travel log to beautiful Bali and can truly see how this can bring you so much joy and relaxation. The well deserved break you needed. Have a great day, Chef Joel. 🥰🥰
Thank you for sharing your story with us Chef. You are truly a down ti earth soul. Love watching your videos and most assuredly will miss Whiskey. But now time for new adventures with Kenji! Beautiful pup. He is ginna be fed real well...lol thank you for all you do Chef!!!
It really is the absolute worst when a pet dog passes away - They're such a big part of the family!! It's very nice to see your folks joining you on holiday, that's really cool x
Thank you for sharing memories of Whiskey such a beautiful soul who will always be missed. “now we have beautiful Kensi who is equally loved and will give you joy and happiness for many years. I still miss my beautiful girl who left me April 2023
Thank you for taking us on the journey with you and letting us explore the world a little. I'm glad that you had a wonderful time there. I know it doesn't replace the loss of a friend, but always remember that while the good can never erase the bad, the bad does not make the good any less important or meaningful to us :)
This is a beautiful video thank you for sharing it with all of your followers. I have tears in my eyes I truly loved Whiskey and understand your love and grief. I have been there and to this day miss my precious little dogs that passed several years ago. Kenji won’t replace Whiskey but will bring you joy again. Hugs to you and lovely wife.🙏🏻🇺🇸🇦🇺💗
Thank you so much for your heartfelt message Marjorie. Kenji is definitely bringing joy back into our lives, but Whiskey will always hold a special place in our hearts. Big Hugs ❤❤
What a wonderful video dedicated to Whiskey. He will always be in your heart, that is not forgotten. And the new dog Kenji is absolutely wonderful. He loved you immediately. Dogs are family
Dear Chef, being an animal rescuer, the worst times are losing our beloved pets. I lost 5 within 3 years, they were special needs dogs. So glad to see this video
My deepest symphaty with u Chef For 12 year old Whiskey dog is very greatful to have u as a dog parent,now life must go on to have a new adopted new puppy hopefully not only 1 puppy so that having a pair of dog is much happier even if you are away from work still have companion Godbless Chef and more power 💞
I work from home, so my puppy will always have company like Whiskey did, when I'm away my parents puppysit, so no problem there. Thank you for your kind words ♥️♥️
I understand your pain. I lost my beloved eleven years ago Chihuahua Sophie on 6/26/24. My heart was shattered. People say it’s too soon to get any animal, but I followed my heart and got a Papillon and named her Gabby. She’s four months old today. My heart still hurts, but has started the healing process. I know yours will too; congratulations! 🐾🐶
When you lost Whiskey, I feel so deep pain, but few months later my 14 years old dog passed away. I do feel your grief, Chef Joel ! And only rescued last year poppy helped me do not feel emptiness of the house without extra wagging tail and smartest eyes that I have ever seen. ❤
Thank you chef Joel for this beautiful way of sharing you’re loss of Whiskey and bringing a new lil loved fury friend back home❤ To be honest it touched my heart in many ways and my tears keep coming through my eyes! It’s a lovely, funny and inspiring video, made my day. Love this hard workout in the pool as well 😊😅😅 I’m happy to have a boyfriend from Melbourne Australia living with me in Sweden, but he knows how to travel in Asia for sure. I’m learning him Europe. I brought up to dogs during the time my children was growing up. Loosing our dogs was heartbreaking and I still miss them even though it’s many years ago. Beautiful Bali and lovely food! This was a video touchingly my heart❤ And whiskey was a stunning and beautiful collie 🥰
Thank you for the beautiful story of how you brought Kenji to your life ❤ Losing a pet IS one of the hardest experiences in our life that brings profound sadness. Watching this video made me cry at the end remembering Whisky and all my lost pets in the past. I'm very happy you have Benji and I always look forward to seeing him in your video along with your very delicious sophisticated dishes. Thank you again.
Our dogs are our family. We had to put our 2 year old Coton de Tulear, Odie, down at the tender age of 2 from a degenerative disk disease. I cried for 2 days straight. I found a Coton-Maltese mix shortly after this. Marley is now almost 4 years old. You can never replace your dog but you can find joy in your new family member!! Thanks for sharing this video. Peace!
Second only to actually checking out your creative recipes, I loved seeing Whiskey on your channel. What a wonderfully behaved dog. So sorry for your loss.
Thank you for the share, bitter-sweet; literally crying in my coffee. Whiskey forever missed and in my heart, happy you found heart space to welcome Kenji; he's a beauty.
I'm so sorry for the loss of that sweet baby. We all loved seeing her in your videos. I lost my baby and said "I never want to go through this pain again. I'll never get another dog." Two weeks later, I had an Aussie Cattle dog/terrier mix. I'll never forget my other pup but this one warms my heart every day. I LOVE your recipes!
I completely understand, I felt the same pain. The emptiness of not having that happy dog greeting when I got home was unbearable. So now, Kenji is here ♥️
Aw, so sorry to hear that your beautiful Whiskey is no longer with you. Such a loss. We will all miss seeing him too, he was a really beautiful dog. Gorgeous villa, hope your break helps with your healing.
This was absolutely beautiful and made me cry. I'm a huge dog person and have had many over the years cross over. It's almost unbearable to lose one, however there is always a sweet little soul that needs you. Thank you for sharing this and may your new puppy bring you many many years of joy. Whiskey would be so happy for you. Jan
You are so kind Jan. Each time I Lose a dog I tell myself it's the last time as it hurts too much, but then I can't bear living without one. Take care ❤
Thank you for sharing Bali with us. What a beautiful place. I can see how very healing it is. Kenji picked you and Whiskey had a paw in it. Whiskey was such a handsome guy and I’m so sorry he had to leave. It’s been sweet to watch Kenji learn, and those three little barks at the end of your amazing recipes are just 🥰🥰🥰
The trip looked like a superb experience, but the end had my tearing up. I can't imagine life without dogs. They bring so much joy. I found your channel and was hooked when you shared Whiskey with us. Thank you for sharing the trip and your new puppy. May you both enjoy cooking the dishes and flavors that you enjoyed in Bali. Peace n joy be with you.
Thanks for sharing such a heartfelt vlog... you have been double blessed🐕🐶... Whiskey 🙏 will always be in our hearts and Kenji has already stolen mine💖 Have a wonderful day!
Very sorry to hear about Whiskey. I can feel your pain, having had to put 2 dogs down due to terminal illness. OMG! How can you decide on which puppy to adopt. I would have taken them all. Congratulations on picking Kenji. I'm sure you'll have many years of unconditional love. Thanks for showing us Bali. I've been several times and have always enjoyed it. I'm even considering retiring there in a couple years.
It’s always beautiful seeing your videos, any kind of videos. It’s very interesting seeing your culinary holidays. Whiskey never be forgotten not replaced, Kenji is a new beginning. Thank you for everything ❤️ Livulla from Italy 🇮🇹
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...❤️
I'm so sorry..... he was very beautiful!! I love his reactions in the videos. Time will heal, I have been through the loss it's very hard. Getting a new pet will help you heal. Thank you for letting us know. 🙏
Whiskey!!! animal maravilloso, con una inteligencia hermosa y con su carita tan bella. Muchas felicitaciones Joel por criar a Whiskey tan bien y adoptar a un nuevo cachorrito. Recibe mis congratulaciones por tan lindos videos con Whiskey. Saludos.
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! ✌❤🙏🇬🇧
@gregphillips.1312 OMG my heart is breaking for you. Lost my love after 14 years and couldn't bear life alone. Adopted a lookalike rescue and he saved me as surely as I saved him. All the best to you. 🙏❤️
I thought I couldn't cry anymore, but at 19:40 I cried. I've always looked forward to seeing Whiskey in your recipes. Maybe she's playing with my Dolores (a black German shepherd) in that dog heaven that definitely exists. Let's keep cooking! It's a beautiful consolation.😋
I'm truly sorry for your loss. Whiskey was family!! I once commented that if I believed in spirit animals, Whiskey would be mine because we both seemingly materialized out of nowhere when food was being prepared: those were some of my favorite vlog moments...his timing was impeccable! He will be missed.
He sure did! He always amazed me! No matter how far out of sight he was, the moment there was food, he’d appear, even when I was as quiet as possible! 😅 I miss him so much ❤
It's heartbreaking 😢 to loose a dogo we love as family, but always remember they would want you to love another dogo, shelters are packed with little souls wishing for a forever home ❤
Kenji already loves you and couldn’t hope for a better home. I cried for you when I heard Whiskey died. I so love your website. It’s gotten me thru a time of grief and I’ve started cooking and entertaining again. Making your Moroccan salad for my girls luncheon on Monday. Thank you so much. Wishing you the very best.
We know exactly how you feel. We lost our greyhound the week before Christmas and still find it difficult without him. At least you have another great co-star! Thanks for all of the great recipes and please keep doing what you are doing. Bali looks great too.
Just watching the start makes me tear up, so much so that I cannot continue watching your videos… I’ve seen him in your past videos patiently waiting for you to finish cooking and give him a bit of a taste. What a precious dog, and I am so sorry for your loss…
Thank you so much for your kind words Elizabeth. Whiskey was truly special. I appreciate your support during this time. Editing the start of that video nearly killed me. ❤️
Hi chef please accept our condolences..Its heartbreaking news to know that you lost your gorgeous whiskey. I love to watch whiskey in your videos a lot. Such a great tribute video and its absolutely very touching and tearful! Hope the trip made you feel better and the cute Kenji is in a loving home with millions of fans around the world !!😍😍
I'm not sure why this tribute has devastated me so much. Does it bring back the grief of losing something you love so much or just the beauty of the tribute. The bittersweet score you chose that put me to tears. The meeting your new baby, and having to say goodbye to Whiskey. What a beautiful but heartbreaking farewell. I am so glad that you cose to love another puppy and make him part of your life. Thank you for such a personal journey. One that so many of us have walked.
Appreciate your support and kindness Shannon. It was very hard for me to edit this one. Kenji has brought some joy back into our lives, and I’m happy the tribute touched you. ♥️
I immediately started crying when you welcomed this beautiful new family member. I also lost a beloved animal friend back then. I wish you all the best for the future.Stefan from germany.
my heart recognizes your pain...Whiskey ..so graceful and beautiful....i believe you will be re united once again.....in the meantime how beautiful a blessing are puppies ...while you and yours heal.
Joel this by far the most moving and inspiring stories you tell. Love that you found peace and healing especially with Mum and Dad along with you. Thank you for showing us beautiful Bali. 💕lesson learnt don’t fly Jetstar. 😊 Kenji is a delight.
Thanks Pauline, glad you liked it, it was emotionally hard for me to edit this one. Bali was a great enjoyable break. And yes, I've had it with Jetstar! ❤
I truly sorry for your loss the animals are the best cure for anything ,the love you get from them is truly unconditional and pure ,nothing like it . I love your cooking . All the best .
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!
❤ Just started watching your videos and loved seeing Whiskey in them. I'm so sorry for your loss. I have lost many pets and the pain never gets easier. But allowing your heart to open again and giving a chance to a furry little one to have a happy loving home, fills you with joy again ❤️
Quite an emotional video you made that identies with me..i grieved for my dog of sixteen years when she passed away just a year ago,had hardly gotten over it and i lost my mom too in May,life definitely can be full of uncertainties but we're grateful to have a new Maltese poodle who's just as loving and adorable.God bless whiskey for his sweetness on all your videos I've seen...to all our departed ones keep resting on❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing that with me Kristina. I’m really sorry for your losses, it's never easy. I’m glad you have a new Maltese poodle to bring some love back into your life. Whiskey will always have a special place in my heart. Big hugs ❤❤
Wow! What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful friend. I mourned his loss with you from afar. I've lost both, dogs and cats. The pain is unbearable. And now you have a little cuddle bear to fill your heart with love and tenderness again. But we will always remember Whiskey, the Golden boy
Good evening Chef Joel. I'm so glad that you've given Whiskey a befitting farewell through this video. I'll always remember him for his kind expressive eyes and calm demeanour. I think, you've got your hands full now with cute little Kenji. Looking forward to see him. While Whiskey remains in our hearts and in your videos. A great travelogue on Bali.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Whiskey will always be remembered for his beautiful nature, and I’m glad he touched so many. Kenji is definitely keeping us busy, and you'll be seeing more of him soon! Appreciate your support on the Bali vlog. ❤❤
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.
So true❤
Whiskey was beautiful soul.
Yes, it is very painful. It takes time to heal.
No truer words Teresa, thank you for your kindness.
True
I'm so sorry for your loss of Whiskey. ❤
We remember Whiskey with every new video. Thank you for including us as you remember him. Kenji is a lucky dog and owes his wonderful life to Whiskey ❤
Thank you Susan ♥♥ Whiskey lives on through my older videos.
@@recipe30 ah, I watch them sometimes just to see him. He was magnificent ❤️
So true every video I will think of whiskey
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.
Appreciate your kindness Gerry, thank you ♥
Dear Chef Joel, seeing Whiskey again brought shivers down my spine☹ But he had a good life with the best love possible by someone as kind as you❣ Now young Kenji has entered your life and he is visibly growing by the day.

P.S. please bring some delicious recipes from Bali ❤
The trip looked like a superb experience, but the end had my tearing up. I can't imagine life without dogs. They bring so much joy. I found your channel and was hooked when you shared Whiskey with us. Thank you for sharing the trip and your new puppy. May you both enjoy cooking the dishes and flavors that you enjoyed in Bali. Peace n joy be with you.
Thank you for your kind words and watching until the end. We love our furry babies ❤❤
Such a lovely little doggy. I love it. Interesting adventures in Bali ❤ thank you for traveling us so peacefully with you ❤
Thanks for watching ❤
@@recipe30 rewatched at least 6 times. It was so well filmed. Excellent job. 🌷
Thanks for sharing such a heartfelt vlog... you have been double blessed🐕🐶... Whiskey 🙏 will always be in our hearts and Kenji has already stolen mine💖 Have a wonderful day!
Nice to hear Nancy, thank you ♥️
Very sorry to hear about Whiskey. I can feel your pain, having had to put 2 dogs down due to terminal illness. OMG! How can you decide on which puppy to adopt. I would have taken them all. Congratulations on picking Kenji. I'm sure you'll have many years of unconditional love. Thanks for showing us Bali. I've been several times and have always enjoyed it. I'm even considering retiring there in a couple years.
Thank you, it's hard selecting a dog, I could have easily adopted them all. Cheers!
It’s always beautiful seeing your videos, any kind of videos. It’s very interesting seeing your culinary holidays.
Whiskey never be forgotten not replaced, Kenji is a new beginning.
Thank you for everything ❤️

Thank you Livulla, much love ❤
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...❤❤❤
Thanks for the kind words Liza! Animals truly are special, and Bali was just what I needed. The Greek islands sound magical too! ❤
@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...❤️
I'm so sorry..... he was very beautiful!! I love his reactions in the videos. Time will heal, I have been through the loss it's very hard. Getting a new pet will help you heal. Thank you for letting us know. 🙏
Thank you so much! ❤
So sorry for your loss. Our pets become part of the family. Hope you find peace in all the beautiful memories of Whiskey.
Thank you ♥
Whiskey!!! animal maravilloso, con una inteligencia hermosa y con su carita tan bella. Muchas felicitaciones Joel por criar a Whiskey tan bien y adoptar a un nuevo cachorrito. Recibe mis congratulaciones por tan lindos videos con Whiskey. Saludos.
Whiskey is in another dimension and he's your guardian angel now ! 😇
Thank you
I am very sorry for your loss. Great decision to take a time off to rest.❤
It did help, thank you ❤
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! ✌❤🙏🇬🇧
@gregphillips.1312 OMG my heart is breaking for you. Lost my love after 14 years and couldn't bear life alone. Adopted a lookalike rescue and he saved me as surely as I saved him. All the best to you. 🙏❤️
Nice to hear you gave that dog a nice life Greg. You should get another one Greg, I know it's hard but it's worth it for both parties.
I thought I couldn't cry anymore, but at 19:40 I cried. I've always looked forward to seeing Whiskey in your recipes. Maybe she's playing with my Dolores (a black German shepherd) in that dog heaven that definitely exists. Let's keep cooking! It's a beautiful consolation.😋
You're not alone my friend, thank you ♥️
You had Whiskey for 12 years, so the both of you were very lucky. One of the few upsides of living in Australia, easy trips to Bali.😀
That's probably why I keep going back there, Europe is a journey, Bali is a trip. Cheers Erik.
Your strength is what’s giving you the power to heal… life with Kenji will be just as fun as Whiskey was. Love from Toronto…cheers
Thanks Vic.
Joel whiskey will live in your heart and mind always
You bet, that can never be taken away from me ❤❤
Didn’t expect to be crying 😢
Lots of love your way!!!❤❤❤
Thank you, it's needed ❤❤
A wonderful film with a happy ending, as it should be. ❤
Glad you like it Hans.
Joel this was a beautiful journey with such a sweet ending(it made me 😢a little with happiness for you)and a great tribute to Whiskey. 🥰
Thank you Tracey, a tough time but Kenji is a big help ❤
I'm truly sorry for your loss. Whiskey was family!! I once commented that if I believed in spirit animals, Whiskey would be mine because we both seemingly materialized out of nowhere when food was being prepared: those were some of my favorite vlog moments...his timing was impeccable! He will be missed.
He sure did! He always amazed me! No matter how far out of sight he was, the moment there was food, he’d appear, even when I was as quiet as possible! 😅 I miss him so much ❤
So very sorry to hear this. We also understand what y’all are going thru. It just sucks! No other way to put it. Praying for you, dear.
Thank you Lisa ♥️♥️
It's heartbreaking 😢 to loose a dogo we love as family, but always remember they would want you to love another dogo, shelters are packed with little souls wishing for a forever home ❤
I totally agree
Kenji already loves you and couldn’t hope for a better home. I cried for you when I heard Whiskey died. I so love your website. It’s gotten me thru a time of grief and I’ve started cooking and entertaining again. Making your Moroccan salad for my girls luncheon on Monday. Thank you so much. Wishing you the very best.
Thank you Marijo, I'm glad my channel has helped you. Enjoy the salad ♥️
We know exactly how you feel. We lost our greyhound the week before Christmas and still find it difficult without him. At least you have another great co-star! Thanks for all of the great recipes and please keep doing what you are doing. Bali looks great too.
Thanks so much.
RIP sweet beloved Whiskey 😢❤ Hello charming adorable Kenji 😍🥰 Happy to see you & your family had an enjoyable Balinese holiday, Chef Joel 😊👍👏👏👏👏
Thanks Liza ❤
Just watching the start makes me tear up, so much so that I cannot continue watching your videos… I’ve seen him in your past videos patiently waiting for you to finish cooking and give him a bit of a taste. What a precious dog, and I am so sorry for your loss…
Thank you so much for your kind words Elizabeth. Whiskey was truly special. I appreciate your support during this time. Editing the start of that video nearly killed me. ❤️
Hi chef please accept our condolences..Its heartbreaking news to know that you lost your gorgeous whiskey. I love to watch whiskey in your videos a lot. Such a great tribute video and its absolutely very touching and tearful! Hope the trip made you feel better and the cute Kenji is in a loving home with millions of fans around the world !!😍😍
Thank you so much for your kindness. 6 months later and I still have pain for Whiskey. Kenji has helped a lot and he is such a lucky dog. ❤️
I'm not sure why this tribute has devastated me so much. Does it bring back the grief of losing something you love so much or just the beauty of the tribute. The bittersweet score you chose that put me to tears. The meeting your new baby, and having to say goodbye to Whiskey. What a beautiful but heartbreaking farewell.
I am so glad that you cose to love another puppy and make him part of your life.
Thank you for such a personal journey. One that so many of us have walked.
Appreciate your support and kindness Shannon. It was very hard for me to edit this one. Kenji has brought some joy back into our lives, and I’m happy the tribute touched you. ♥️
@@recipe30 ❤️🐶
I immediately started crying when you welcomed this beautiful new family member. I also lost a beloved animal friend back then. I wish you all the best for the future.Stefan from germany.
Thank you Stefan, take care my friend.
You’re such a magnificent son taking your parents on your vacation. I admire that!
Thank you, it was nice to give back to them. Made my trip even better! ♥️
my heart recognizes your pain...Whiskey ..so graceful and beautiful....i believe you will be re united once again.....in the meantime how beautiful a blessing are puppies ...while you and yours heal.
Thank you Doreen ♥️
Joel this by far the most moving and inspiring stories you tell. Love that you found peace and healing especially with Mum and Dad along with you. Thank you for showing us beautiful Bali. 💕lesson learnt don’t fly Jetstar. 😊 Kenji is a delight.
Thanks Pauline, glad you liked it, it was emotionally hard for me to edit this one. Bali was a great enjoyable break. And yes, I've had it with Jetstar! ❤
I truly sorry for your loss the animals are the best cure for anything ,the love you get from them is truly unconditional and pure ,nothing like it . I love your cooking . All the best .
Thank you Tina ♥️
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!
Thank you for your kind words my friend. I miss Whiskey so much and now Kenji is helping me through it. ♥️
Thank you for the light, the love and happiness, you are a big soul, thank you 💛🌷🌻
Thank you Diana ♥️♥️
❤ Just started watching your videos and loved seeing Whiskey in them. I'm so sorry for your loss. I have lost many pets and the pain never gets easier. But allowing your heart to open again and giving a chance to a furry little one to have a happy loving home, fills you with joy again ❤️
So nicely put, thank you ♥️♥️
@@recipe30 ❤️😊
Beautiful. The ending brought a tear to my eye. RIP Whiskey. Welcome to the family Kenji. Looking forward to see you grow through the videos.
Thank you so much Bruno!
Quite an emotional video you made that identies with me..i grieved for my dog of sixteen years when she passed away just a year ago,had hardly gotten over it and i lost my mom too in May,life definitely can be full of uncertainties but we're grateful to have a new Maltese poodle who's just as loving and adorable.God bless whiskey for his sweetness on all your videos I've seen...to all our departed ones keep resting on❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing that with me Kristina. I’m really sorry for your losses, it's never easy. I’m glad you have a new Maltese poodle to bring some love back into your life. Whiskey will always have a special place in my heart. Big hugs ❤❤
I could not stop crying. The end is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Marie, big hugs ♥️♥️
Wow! What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful friend. I mourned his loss with you from afar. I've lost both, dogs and cats. The pain is unbearable. And now you have a little cuddle bear to fill your heart with love and tenderness again.
But we will always remember Whiskey, the Golden boy
Yes, will never forget Whiskey. Kenji is a blessing though ♥️
Good evening Chef Joel. I'm so glad that you've given Whiskey a befitting farewell through this video. I'll always remember him for his kind expressive eyes and calm demeanour. I think, you've got your hands full now with cute little Kenji. Looking forward to see him. While Whiskey remains in our hearts and in your videos. A great travelogue on Bali.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Whiskey will always be remembered for his beautiful nature, and I’m glad he touched so many. Kenji is definitely keeping us busy, and you'll be seeing more of him soon! Appreciate your support on the Bali vlog. ❤❤
@@recipe30 Thank you so much. I'm an ardent fan of your amazing recipes, and out of the world cinematography and editing. Have a wonderful week Chef!
Dear Joel, Heartbreak movie. Kenji is much Love. Best wishes, and for mummy and Daddy too
Thank you Kemal.
