We Adopted a Dog: Surprising Life Update! 🐶
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 сер 2023
- For the last three years of our life, we’ve been nothing more than a simple family of two. That all changed in the height of sunny June, when we decided that we were ready to adopt a dog and welcomed in a furry third member to our small family. It is with so much joy and so much gratitude that we introduce to you, our sweet little angel, Gretel. 🐶

A life update has been long overdue!!! 🤍 Thank you so much for watching this very special video and for virtually meeting the newest member of our little family. 🐶 You can definitely expect to see much more of Gretel in all the videos to come! 🥰 Next week’s video will be a local summertime feel-good, with a beautiful sunrise hike, homemade Rice Krispies, and a fun movie night under the stars at a small town outdoor drive-in. 🍿See you next Saturday, friends! 💫
Dogs are so precious, they truly become your family.🥰
Pugs are the best travelers ... Because of their size..tjey can be eight with you In the passenger section. And every flight attendant falls in love with pugs... She will be spoiled in a good way. Pugs are the best ✅😍
thanks for adopting a rescue dog!
awww sweet Gretel! so cute
SO incredibly sweet
I'm so thankful that you adopted Gretel. She's definitely living the fairy tale now.😊😊❤
That video was filled with so much love. Thanks for sharing your story.
Glad you enjoyed it!
She is adorable, her face and overbite reminds me of my pug. Pugs are very special and have lots of personality. ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm so happy for your newly expanded family. I think you already know that James and I have three cats: a feral momma cat who came into our house and adopted us when she was just 8 months old and pregnant with her first litter, and the 2 kittens she had. They add so much life, spirit, and love ❤️.
Personally, I'm also so happy that you're taking things a bit more slowly too. I was seeing signs of burnout mixed with the frenetic pace of your 'sample not savor' travels. A sense of home is truly what keeps things in balance.
Love the name Gretel... Do you sing 'the sun has gone to bed and so must I,' to her each night? 😊
Stay well, favorite elves! Steve & James
She's a wonderful addition to your family. What an adorable pet. Enjoy!
We love pets ❤❤❤
Congratulations on adopting Gretel! I bet she's loving her life now ❤
So happy for all of you!!! Welcome to the family, Gretel!
Congratulations! She is adorable!

Hi Claire & Chad...how's our little Princess Gretel today?
So happy for you! I've adopted a cat last year and I couldn't be happier!❤
Happiness 🐶
Living life as both a traveler and pet owner is not an easy one- let me tell ya'.
I've had my cat for almost 15 years at this point- and in that time, she's lived in 8 countries with my girlfriend and I. Since she's our number one top priority, the length of trips, which airlines we've flown with (who allow pets in cabin) and even which countries we settled in, have been completely planned around her.
Despite all that, she is one of the best things to ever happen to either of us. The love and joy that a pet can bring is just unimaginable. We are now settled in one spot because she is now over 18 years old, and has a terminal illness.
As you guys begin this journey as pet owners and travelers, our lives will soon be changed- and we will begin a new chapter of our life as travelers.
I would never tell someone not to get an animal- but I hope you are both prepared for how life-changing it really is. I know your plan is more local travel, with a few trips here and there...but when you do get that itch again, for longer trips and bigger adventures, it does make life a lot more difficult. Especially with a flat faced breed that may not be able to travel on every airline.
Definitely don't mean any of this in a negative way, but as someone who has spent the past 15 years traveling with a pet/ as a pet owner, it's been quite the rollercoaster. 😂
Especially as your pet gets older, and develops various issues. It's quite the juggling act, trying to balance life at home with your pet, with time away to travel and film.
Good luck on this new chapter!
Thanks for taking the time to share. We definitely know our lifestyle will have to change because of Gretel and are ready for whatever that looks like going forward. A lot of our travel friends have said similar things, but we don't regret getting her at all. She truly has improved our lives in so many ways and even if she holds us back from future trips, we will just enjoy time together as the three of us.
@@ChadandClaire Just cherish those memories! All of a sudden, ten years will go by, and you'll be wondering where all the time went.
At this point, I don't even remember by life before adopting my girl. It's going to be a devastating transition- but we are definitely planning on filling that hole in our heart with travel.
Make sure to get some good pet insurance and take her for regular checkups! I hope she lives a long and wonderful life with you guys. 🐶
I am so happy for you guys! What a beautiful little girl. It actually brought tears to my eyes watching the video. Best of luck.
Glad we could share the joy she has brought us with you!
Congratulations and welcome home Gretel !! Such a beautiful family dog. Pets bring so much joy into your lives and happy you two are going to be able to enjoy time home more You own a home and you should enjoy it. Can’t wait to start seeing new videos of the 3 of you. So happy you two have this precious pup a new lease on life. What great family pet owners you two are.❤❤❤
You are so kind! We can't wait for the adventures that lie ahead.
@@ChadandClaire thank you and can’t wait❤️
My small dog travels really well! She loves it! If you start slow and get Gretel used to it, I bet she will travel really well too. It’s so fun to travel with your dog. Congrats on the new pet!🎉
Thank you! We can't wait to travel with her more often.
As much as we love your food and travel videos, "life update" videos such as this is also nice, it makes you more real...plus the furry addition to your family is a very nice welcome.❤
The house looks so good. Great job. Puppy is a doll.
Thank you! She's the best!
Thank you for adopting her.
We thank her each day for letting us adopt her haha.
Love your little buddy! She'll make your lives so much fuller as you take a break from travels and settle into mundane for a while. Relax...we'll wait for travel vids when you're renewed and ready. Welcome, Gretel. 😊😊😊
That's the plan! Thanks for supporting us where we are.
I've only seen your channel & been watching ya'll 4 a few months now & have enjoyed it immensely. But this new chapter is my fave 4 sure. I'm sooo happy you rescued a pet as there are so many in need. I rescue all our pets. It's the right thing 2 do. I have an unbelievable "double furry friend rescue story" that I must tell you another time. She is a very "blessed girl" 2 have you 2 4 her mommy & daddy! You are doing everything right 4 her. Cuddling, training, playing with her. Making her food is key as prepared dog foods are loaded with fillers & carcinogens, all things dogs don't need & should not have. The other key 4 a healthy dog is choosing the proper medical care team which you are also doing. Blessings to your little family. I can't wait see how you grow. ❤
Wow thank you so much for taking the time to write out such a kind message. We would love to hear your rescue story someday. We will do our best to take care of Gretel the best we can going forward! Thanks again for supporting what we do and our new video direction.
@@ChadandClaire ❤️
Congratulations on your fur baby! She is adorable! So glad she will now be part of a family that will love her!
I know you are going to be the best pet parents. Pets do bring so much joy to your life! ❤
Enjoy her, and will she be joining you on your future travels? 😉
She will be joining us whenever we can bring her! but probably not on any international trips for the time being.
Awww, I love this so much for you guys, and Gretel!!
❤ Amazing New Member to your Family ❤ Beautiful Family
You are so kind! Thank you!
Welcome to youtube Gretel!!! we love you!!!
Haha! She is a star!
Omg!! I’m so Happy for you beautiful couple.. I love ❤️ your blogs and you absolutely will be fantastic dog parents!! First step towards real parenting.. I’m so amazed at you two every blog that comes out.. I love 💕 you .. Grammy from Maine!! Xxxooo
Thank you so much!!We are thrilled to have G in our lives!
Congratulations on the new dog and the house is looking fantastic.
I'm really glad your still doing the 50 countries travel, did i hear u say chad is working in whole foods. So yous are settling home for a bit.
That's the plan! We are home bodies for the foreseeable future. But we do have a few trips planned in the coming months!
Awwww!!! We lost our puggy a little over a year ago after 16.5 years. Our Maggie was so funny! I am so happy for you guys! Pugs are such fun dogs! Gretel is so lucky to have you!
Oh no! Sorry to hear that, but 16.5 is a long life! We are excited for the adventures ahead!
i love gretel she's so cute ....cheers
Beautifully narrated 🥲 God bless and enjoy her. Dogs are wonderful pets! ❤
Thank you so much!
Next time you go to Finland definitely visit Viking line cruise 😊 from Helsinki to Sweden. Love that you named your little girl Gretel from Hansel and Gretel love that fairytale ❤❤
That's a great idea! We can't wait to visit Finland again. There is so much more to explore!
Seems you're putting down roots with the job, garden and pup! Maybe it's time for a new van!
That's what I keep trying to tell Claire! Time will tell! :D
❤❤❤❤❤
My Daughter has an all black Pug .. His name is Mowgli.. He is my grandson and we are very close!! Pugs are the most loving little weirdos!! You will have a blast with her!! Xxxooo
What a cute name! Pugs are certainly unique! We love them so much though!
She landed in a tub of butter!!
My seeet Lord!!
It's Gretl, no e!!!
Where's Hansel ?
Time will tell!
Chad works at whole foods? Cmon, youtube, you can do better. These guys actually enjoy travelling and doing fun stuff compared to some of the other channels.
But don’t you travel too much to have a dog??
As we tried to explain in the video, we plan on slowing down on the travel from now on and we have a good support system if we ever can't bring her in the future!
Are your travelling days over? Hopefully you have someone who will be a pet sitter...
You need to look up raw diet. Rotisserie chicken is bad for dogs. You may think cooking various meats is good for your dog. It isn’t. If a dog is going to eat meat it also needs calcium.
Uncooked Chicken leg quarters ground up bones and all, is infinitely better for your dog than what you described.
