I cant believe how big Chell and Atlas are. Holy moly! I can still remember when Chell was first born. It seems like yesterday when she was born. I too had a precious cat that passed away and when I bought my first house 3 years ago my first thought was Tess would have loved it here. I have her ashes and I will hold them and tell her I love and miss her. I had her for 16 years. She was very much a part of my life and it still hits my heart knowing she isnt here. It sucks.
Did anyone notice how the elf seems to have distinct Cory-moves? Like watching a mini Cory dancing...loved it!! Enjoyed the entire vlog by the way. Good to have you all back! Much love from The Netherlands xxx
I thought the same thing!!! The moment the elf started dancing, all I could see was Cory! 😂 It was almost like he used motion capture for the dance moves. Loved it! 🙌🏻
Sparta is a big part of your UA-cam journey, He IS a big part of your life so I get why the loss of them physically has been so hard on you. He wouldn't want you to suffer. I feel so sad for Chell. Loss is tough on a kid.
Can relate to feeling like they’re still here. My eldest cats, Moxie and Mae, died within a month of each other last summer. They were in my life for twenty years, from preschool to just over a year post-undergrad, so they watched me grow up. Sometimes I see them in my dreams, and realistically I know that’s my brain just picking out random images as it goes through REM, but I still like to think that’s their spirits saying hello.
I don't think losing a pet ever gets "easy" Cory. Especially if you are an avid animal lover like myself and many other's. Although they can't communicate the way we do. We find a way, a bond, with our pets. They truly become part of the family. When we lose them, the pain is just as real as any other family member. It hurts, A LOT. I STILL get sad when I think about my cat Harvey who I had from 2-16 years old. He passed away in 2011 and I STILL miss him. I have 3 cats at the moment and they are my kids haha. Each pet has a special place in your heart and losing them leaves a hole. Trying to understand that as a toddler must be way harder. Luckily for Chell she has a father who is super connected to nature, animals, and life to teach her. I admire and appreciate your honesty with this tough time and transition. Sparta was such a staple, an icon if you will. He was and always will be SUCH a special part of millions of lives. But for you, that was your first boy. Your special boy. Then came the duck duck. I feel like I have known those 2 since I was a young teenager. Those two cats are legends and their memories will live on in our hearts forever.
Penny is quite the guard dog, lol. I love how Cory is kind of iffy on the whole house thing and Kristen is all for it, such a balance.The "boys" were your first kids of course you're going to miss them and be sad, that's okay. Chell is the sweetest little thing, the innocence they have at this age. We miss them too guys.
For all us in lockdown alone, this was oasis in a desert! Family, togetherness, fun, memories, etc., and the fact that I’ve known you since 2007 it’s like visiting with old friends. Thank you Cory!
Thanks for this vlog, Cory, so nice to see you guys again. And I appreciate your sharing the sad feelings you and Chell are having about Sparta. I know that loss, too, when a cat is so special in your life. My cat passed in 1995, of the same type of thrombus that Sparta had. Devastated. It's true: they never leave us. I still dream about my kitty sometimes.... Losing Loki and then Sparta not too far apart had to be rough. And not all that long ago, so just keep doing what you're doing: rolling with the grief when it comes, and then moving on through. Time after time. Missing our loved ones is part of the richness of life.
What you shared about Loki and Sparta really resonates with me. I know how much it hurts to lose our furbabies. As for you saying that you feel Sparta's spirit sometimes; personally, I would say don't blow that off as just being your imagination. It's really quite possible, even likely, that you're actually feeling him. I'm speaking from personal experience, of course. Take it for what it's worth. Sending hugs to you and your family. 💖💖💖
This vlog has everything. The original youtuber, house window shopping, sad memories, that thing where you coast down a hill on a lawnmower, broken arms, a really bright christmas tree, an elf dancing around a dog, and hot dogs that are way past the five second rule.
I recently lost my pet too, I guess it's not supposed to be easy since we loved them so much, but I think it's also nice to know that the little guy will always there in my heart. PS. glad you guys are back BTW
All the feels, Cory. Yeah. My Mickey was 20 when I lost him. That’s 15 years ago and it’s still hard - but there will be a day when the happy memories are greater than the sad. You wouldn’t be who you are without the love you shared with those boys. ❤️❤️❤️
What a pleasant surprise! I agree with Kristen, looking at floor plans and house tours is also a favorite pastime for me. I have two neighborhoods here that I drive through every season. I have loved then since I was a child. Unfortunately, the price tags are VERY HIGH. It hurts my heart that Chell still cries over Sparta. When I get really sad about my lost fur babies, (and I still do) I make myself think about funny things they did. Those memories make me laugh and remember the joy they brought me. Maybe Chell and Cory can start practicing memory games with the funny things Sparta and Loki did.
Hahaha the video of the wild western part look like it was shot in 1820 yet again, there is the front of a modern day car in the picture😂 Loved that😂 Loved to see a vlog of you guys again! Chell and Atlas are getting soooo big
I know how you feel. When I was 8 years old, I got this little kitten. My dad and I stopped off at a window shop for a window and after all that said and done. I got a kitten and my dad got a window at a discount because of they wanted to get rid of that kitten. For 22 years, he was my buddy, best friend and cuddle bug. His name was Boots. Nov. 2019, I could tell he was going and I think he knew it too. He wasn't doing well, so I made the hard decision to bring him to the vet. While at the vet, I held him while they helped him along. I told Boots, I loved him and he was my good boy. Fighting back the tears the whole time. When they said he was gone. I broke. I kept repeating you're my good boy and I love you. Its been a year and I still miss him. It still hurts. I know what you and your family are going through and I'm so sorry.
My family also would look at open houses on Sundays! We were never buying, but we look at the them to get ideas for whenever we want to change something on our house. Like new cabinets or kitchen counters, or making my parents closet bigger because it is one of the smallest “master” closets I have ever seen! Also! The kiddos are getting so big! And what happened to poor Chell’s arm? Maybe I missed it in the last vlog, but I hope she gets better soon!
The way you have treated your boys, Sparta and Lockie, I don't think they could've asked for a better life. I am sure they are praying for you and your family from the heavens above.
I always end up taking a break from UA-cam for a few months at a time while i handle family stuff, but when i come back you are almost always the first i check up on. Every single time i am ALWAYS amazed by how much you all have grown!
I have family all over Oklahoma so thank you for the drive! I need to go back to Tulsa soon when things get better. I miss Oklahoma so much. I have lost a lot of family, human and furred in the last few years and I find myself crying at the oddest stuff in public so my heart goes out to y'all, especially Miss Chell.
waited with watching this vlog for a little until I had some more time off from uni but ended up watching it while procrastinating studying for my finals, and I'm glad I did honestly! even though this vlog had it's ups and downs in terms of happyness, sadness and silliness, it really made me relax a lot! I feel more ready to continue studying now! I definitely missed watching your vlogs and I'm glad you're doing these again :)
Awe. I've missed so much of Atlas growing up. Man! He is such a big boy. I see so much of Chell in him, their sweet button noses! About your Sparta thing. Maybe instead of missing him and remembering the pain, put a light behind it. It's not a loss or separation. It's a continuation of his energy which is actually what life is. The vessel that carried him aged out but his energy actually is still there. Isn't that what we (all living creatures) are? So...embrace his energy. When you are working on your game and you feel him there, embrace him. He can do things with you now that he couldn't when he was Cat Sparta. Now he's fluid and light and energy. He's giving you what you gave him, in this way. Tell Chell she's doing fantastic with her shoulder. Is it the one that broke during her birth?
Loved the cute elf sneaking around and then giving the dog a treat! Very creative. Fun vlog...and no it isn't weird to look at houses all the time. I sometimes take a gander at what's out there too online, and love looking at all the photos of the interiors...I'm not looking to buy a house, it's just kind of fun to look. So I totally get that. And yes, you don't ever get over missing your pets after they're gone, but the deep sadness changes to that of happy memories eventually, and you'll find yourself smiling thinking of them more than crying. :)
Sparta is definitely with you. When we lose a pet, that we had a strong bond with, they will come and visit with you. when you feel his energy talk with him, because he is there. Always go with your gut feelings. We have 7 degrees here in Meadow Lakes, Alaska. So happy to see the family back, the kiddos are adorable.
I love viewing/ looking at houses too, it’s just so interesting! Been watching since the pregnancy tasting when Kristen was pregnant with Chell and time seems to have gone so fast. Love your family you have created together. Xx
I don't know if it would be possible but it would be really cute if y'all did a video similar to this one, but instead of looking at houses --- at night and looking at Christmas lights! :D
You will, be reunited with loki and sparta on the rainbow bridge when its time. Tell her tbat you may not see them but they can see her and wouldnt like to see her sad. Every time shes sad tell her a story about them when she was a little girl and try to make happy memories stand out, it helped me xx hope her arms better and your allll surviving in this pandemic xx
YES!! Do more of this! We love the vlogs. Also, I always ate whatever my kiddos would "leave behind". Parents are so busy and any extra snacks we can get are our rewards for making is so far. lol.
When my parents dog was put down, at home soon after his passing, I still seen him run or walk around the corner in the corner of my eye. And when I looked, he was gone.
Holy Shenanigans!!! I can't get over how big Chell and Atlas have gotten! I love Chell's haircut: too cute!!! I saw the "Elf on a Shelf" footage on your Facebook page the other day and it had me laughing the way that mischievous little elf was dancing in front of Penny to make sure she was still sleeping. So freaking funny!!! And then when the elf left a biscuit for Penny, I was like "Awwwww!!! I really enjoyed today's video and I'm so glad you're back to posting again!!!!
This just reminded me that I’m watching an abandoned mansion renovation on the channel Off The Ranch with Matt Carriker. It’s really cool how they took a house that was left partially built for over a decade and redid huge parts of the house and are making it their dream home. That house without a roof probably just needs to be taken back to the frame and rebuilt. It’s a long process but it looks very rewarding.
My Cindy passed away 30 yrs ago, after being my Mommy for 20 yrs. I still miss her dreadfully. There have been other cats that I love, and there WILL be more cats. Her love kept me going through my childhood and young adulthood. And I feel obligated to pass her love on to other cats. As long as you LOVE, your cats are with you. They tag along at your footsteps, making sure you spread that love around. The hotdog thing....Yikes!
I teared up when you talked about Sparta and how Chell is starting to realize how much she misses him. I remember watching the Mean Kitty videos when I was in university and it helped me cheer me up. Please take your time to create your video game. I know your fans are willing to wait. 😊
I'm sobbing. One of the first videos I ever watched on the internet was the mean kitty song. And my first kitty, who adopted us, just happened to look and be fiesty like him. And she died around the same time as sparta. We love you Sparta. Your family and all your fans miss you.
I totally agree with everything you say. I lost a cat exactly 21 years ago due to unfortunate circumstances. Every once in a while, throughout the years, I have moments where I just have to cry. Unfortunately I had a recent tragedy 4 months ago where my son's 10 month old kitten became sick. We didn't recognize that it was serious. She had an infection but we didn't know. I was going to call the vet that Monday, but thought maybe I'd wait and see how she was the next day. The next day was too late. She couldn't stand up when I woke up that morning. I took her to the vet and he gave her an IV. She didn't make it. She died. I'm haunted by the fact that I didn't know how sick she was and that I could have saved her if I had done something sooner. She was so sweet and lovable. I'm still so sad. Did you see the story about UA-camr Shane Dawson's kitten?? Seeing that has just increased my feelings of sadness. I just told my daughter today that I feel that I will never be truly happy again.
Love to see new videos from you guys!! I can’t believe how much Chell and Atlas have grown. Chell is so cute with her short hair! PS- I was surprised to see you weren’t wearing masks at the drive thru (4:50). Even though you’re pretty far from the workers, I would consider having them on anyway for everyone’s safety.
You've reminded me of a time many years ago when we were visiting my great-aunt on her Minnesota farm. I looked out of their window and saw two rabbits doing a strange bunny dance. I said to my aunt, "I wonder what that means?" Her answer: "More rabbits."
I was SO happy to see your sweet, adorable Penny!!!❤️❤️ I LOVE that little pup!!❤️❤️ It was funny, because at first I didn't recognize her because she looked like a really big dog next to the tiny elf. :)
I love the little funny edits throughout the video, they cracked me up. But man, upon finding out that Sparta passed here recently, it made me sad once more. He won't be forgotten. :( But I do have a suggestion for your game, maybe add some bloom? (lighting/scene setting effects) or will that be added later on?
hmm i had to search for a new video im subscribed but it didnt show up im so glad to see you making videos again i love the vibes of your family. such beauty in a world gone crazy.
Chell is doing so well talking and she sounds alot like you Kristen! Holy Cow! And also when I lost my cat Arie in 2015, it felt like I'll never get over her loss. And 5 years later, I'm still grieving her but it's gotten better since I got my kitten Juniper. This little cat of mine, she has her own personality, but some of the things that she does that like the shrill/meow, it's similar to what Arie does. It doesn't hurt but it's comforting
There's nothing wrong with grief. It gets intense because it's the full force of our love for someone we can't talk to or hug. I've been playing a video game lately which has an insanely beautiful soundtrack. One song in particular makes me feel longing and brings me to tears over missing my parents. I found the song on UA-cam and others were mentioning that it made them cry, too, and they didn't know why. I live a few hours away from my siblings and a brand new baby and I can't go see them because of COVID. My work puts me at high risk for catching it and our city's case numbers are just going crazy right now. I think that's part of the sadness I feel when I hear that song, is that I've been isolating since March (still going to work obviously) but it's going to be my second Christmas absolutely alone. It sucks. I wanted to see my family for Christmas this year but I can't. We're all getting tired of it but thankfully we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Sparta is happy and healthy where he is, he loves you as much as he ever did, and your reunion will be sweet and eternal. Hang in there, cry if you need to, but know that you're going to be all right.
Ohhhh I love your house and yard. It is fun to look though and I do it but online because of the pandemic and snow makes it difficult to drive around looking at the outside of houses. There will always be those pets that take a piece of our hearts when they pass away.
Cory, you and the family need a REAL vacation, somewhere you've never been to escape from the sad memories. I really sense some indication of being stuck or trapped. You are the kind of person who needs to be free and have the room to spread out and do what you feel, and for the past few years I have not seen that in your vlogs. Granted, this is just me as a viewer and not someone with a firsthand insight into your life, but I think you would really enjoy getting "out". Regardless of the pandemic, I think you would have a great time just going on a cross-country road trip. It would give the kids a larger view of their world and it would give you and Kristen some measure of freedom and adventure. Be safe about it, but do what you need to do Cory, whatever that may be. Just do you. :)
I feel the same Cory. I really do. My husband and I lost our sweet furry boy Poe a few months before Sparta passed. We have the same feelings about passing the place where we had to let our baby go. I don’t feel like I’ll ever feel the same again about his immeasurable loss. It’s been since May 4 and It still feels like yesterday. 💔
Yogurt up to her old tricks again. 😏 Yeah I feel you on Sparta dude. That was one of many ways that 2020 reached a new level of suckatude 😞😞😞 Everybody try to stay safe!
I sure do get that about passing by the vets place. It just about killed me to put my Guinea pig down. I loved him so much. I can NEVER own another animal. It’s been 4 years and I still cry.
Loved the throwback video of you and Josh but god Cory you got me crying with your talk about the boys 💔. It’s crazy because i obviously never met them but i do still feel that loss in my heart when i think of them. So loved and missed by so many of us ❤️
I loved watching everything in this vlog. Reminds me of everything I’ve missed watching you guys!
We miss hearing from you all too. You’re like 2nd cousins to us. At least, that’s how I feel. :)
Same here!
I cant believe how big Chell and Atlas are. Holy moly! I can still remember when Chell was first born. It seems like yesterday when she was born.

That caught elf footage was so stinkin’ cute!
Oh my goodness!!!!! My kiddos are dying to catch their elf do the same.😶

I just can’t imagine how hard a solo lockdown would be. As a social butterfly, I would be going so stir crazy.
Thanks for this vlog, Cory, so nice to see you guys again. And I appreciate your sharing the sad feelings you and Chell are having about Sparta.

Our big boy black cat is 14: I anticipate hard times ahead for our 4 year old, too. Thanks for sharing your family’s day, Cory.
Wasn't expecting to see that throwback smpfilms clip thrown in there! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What you shared about Loki and Sparta really resonates with me. I know how much it hurts to lose our furbabies.

aww chell-bless her-seems like she always looks on the bright side of things!!...her tears made me cry all over again. its traumatic losing a pet
Even so many months later I still cry when you talk about the kitties 😭
I recently lost my pet too, I guess it's not supposed to be easy since we loved them so much, but I think it's also nice to know that the little guy will always there in my heart.
PS. glad you guys are back BTW
Man! Who would ever believe, looking at Dude like Hella videos, that Cory is such a gentle soul.
P.S. We all miss Sparta and Lokie.
All the feels, Cory. Yeah. My Mickey was 20 when I lost him. That’s 15 years ago and it’s still hard - but there will be a day when the happy memories are greater than the sad. You wouldn’t be who you are without the love you shared with those boys. ❤️❤️❤️

Shhhhhh don't tell them how peaceful and cheap the Tulsa area is. Green country is a great secret!
I miss my boy too. But just remember, as long as we keep their memory alive and say their names. They will live on.
Aww, I missed this Cory! Thank you for brightening my day and making me giggle! 😁👍
I know how you feel. When I was 8 years old, I got this little kitten. My dad and I stopped off at a window shop for a window and after all that said and done.

My daughter and I go looking at open houses. We walk around and look, get the information then guess how much the house is going for. It's so fun.
I always end up taking a break from UA-cam for a few months at a time while i handle family stuff, but when i come back you are almost always the first i check up on. Every single time i am ALWAYS amazed by how much you all have grown!

@@elisabetta611 Thank you so much. It is in me to help others understand that all living goes on.

You will, be reunited with loki and sparta on the rainbow bridge when its time. Tell her tbat you may not see them but they can see her and wouldnt like to see her sad.

YES!! Do more of this! We love the vlogs. Also, I always ate whatever my kiddos would "leave behind". Parents are so busy and any extra snacks we can get are our rewards for making is so far. lol.
Oh gosh, now you made ME cry. Thinking about the loss of my dog like 2 years ago. I miss him too.
I don’t want to make you more sad but I started watching your channels with The Mean Kitty and I will forever love and miss Sparta and Loki. ❤️
Atlas is so cute! I still miss my girl kitty it's been three years. Still tear up when I think of her
They are growing up so fast! I missed your videos, I'm glad to see that you are back!
When my parents dog was put down, at home soon after his passing, I still seen him run or walk around the corner in the corner of my eye. And when I looked, he was gone.
Holy Shenanigans!!! I can't get over how big Chell and Atlas have gotten! I love Chell's haircut: too cute!!! I saw the "Elf on a Shelf" footage on your Facebook page the other day and it had me laughing the way that mischievous little elf was dancing in front of Penny to make sure she was still sleeping. So freaking funny!!! And then when the elf left a biscuit for Penny, I was like "Awwwww!!! I really enjoyed today's video and I'm so glad you're back to posting again!!!!
This just reminded me that I’m watching an abandoned mansion renovation on the channel Off The Ranch with Matt Carriker. It’s really cool how they took a house that was left partially built for over a decade and redid huge parts of the house and are making it their dream home. That house without a roof probably just needs to be taken back to the frame and rebuilt. It’s a long process but it looks very rewarding.
Holy moly... I know I missed the Facebook vlogs, but Chell grew so much!
Hahaha love the elf animation
This vlog made me smile so much. Thanks for sharing your day!
Enjoyed it so much! So fresh, cozy and relaxed and the sketches in between are the best 🤩🤩❤️
My fur baby was 20 years old and he’s been gone for 5 months and I still miss him so much
My Cindy passed away 30 yrs ago, after being my Mommy for 20 yrs. I still miss her dreadfully. There have been other cats that I love, and there WILL be more cats. Her love kept me going through my childhood and young adulthood. And I feel obligated to pass her love on to other cats.
As long as you LOVE, your cats are with you. They tag along at your footsteps, making sure you spread that love around.
The hotdog thing....Yikes!
I teared up when you talked about Sparta and how Chell is starting to realize how much she misses him. I remember watching the Mean Kitty videos when I was in university and it helped me cheer me up.
Please take your time to create your video game. I know your fans are willing to wait. 😊
I am so, SO glad you’re vlogging again!! 😃😃
I'm sobbing. One of the first videos I ever watched on the internet was the mean kitty song. And my first kitty, who adopted us, just happened to look and be fiesty like him. And she died around the same time as sparta. We love you Sparta. Your family and all your fans miss you.
Hi you guys, love the vlog, so glad to see you. Yes, I'm from India and love love love watching the houses in America!!!!! Love you guys
So great to see you guys back!
Glad to see you guys are doing fine
I totally agree with everything you say. I lost a cat exactly 21 years ago due to unfortunate circumstances. Every once in a while, throughout the years, I have moments where I just have to cry. Unfortunately I had a recent tragedy 4 months ago where my son's 10 month old kitten became sick. We didn't recognize that it was serious. She had an infection but we didn't know. I was going to call the vet that Monday, but thought maybe I'd wait and see how she was the next day. The next day was too late. She couldn't stand up when I woke up that morning. I took her to the vet and he gave her an IV. She didn't make it. She died. I'm haunted by the fact that I didn't know how sick she was and that I could have saved her if I had done something sooner. She was so sweet and lovable. I'm still so sad. Did you see the story about UA-camr Shane Dawson's kitten?? Seeing that has just increased my feelings of sadness. I just told my daughter today that I feel that I will never be truly happy again.
Love to see new videos from you guys!! I can’t believe how much Chell and Atlas have grown. Chell is so cute with her short hair!
PS- I was surprised to see you weren’t wearing masks at the drive thru (4:50). Even though you’re pretty far from the workers, I would consider having them on anyway for everyone’s safety.
Ahhhh my day is complete now. Best notification ever. ✨🌹✨🇨🇦
So friggin 🥰 cute
Kristen!!! I do the obsessive house hunting as well, even though I'm not moving any time soon. I just love it!
The fighting bunnies, lol! My son and I also love to go looking at open houses, just for fun.
I do that same mix! On really cold days, or when im not feeling well, I heat it up in a mug.💜
You've reminded me of a time many years ago when we were visiting my great-aunt on her Minnesota farm. I looked out of their window and saw two rabbits doing a strange bunny dance. I said to my aunt, "I wonder what that means?" Her answer: "More rabbits."
Lol
Ha ha ha
So good to see you all! Happy Holidays. ❤️
Love seeing you guys!!!
I was SO happy to see your sweet, adorable Penny!!!❤️❤️ I LOVE that little pup!!❤️❤️ It was funny, because at first I didn't recognize her because she looked like a really big dog next to the tiny elf. :)
I love the little funny edits throughout the video, they cracked me up. But man, upon finding out that Sparta passed here recently, it made me sad once more. He won't be forgotten. :(
But I do have a suggestion for your game, maybe add some bloom? (lighting/scene setting effects) or will that be added later on?
i was crying when hearing the cat story i remember him from years back. i been a fan for years
So glad you are back x
Ahhhh, I've misssseed you guys!! Keep vlogging cause you guys are the best! I can't believe how much Chel and Atlas have grown!!
Aw this was fun to watch.😃 Good to see you enjoying life and just being a dad. Love to loki and sparta. Forever in our hearts❤
hmm i had to search for a new video im subscribed but it didnt show up im so glad to see you making videos again i love the vibes of your family. such beauty in a world gone crazy.
I just love the vlogs, my heart is full ❤️
I love you guys so much I’ve missed you so bad. I haven’t even watch the video yet
Chell is doing so well talking and she sounds alot like you Kristen! Holy Cow! And also when I lost my cat Arie in 2015, it felt like I'll never get over her loss. And 5 years later, I'm still grieving her but it's gotten better since I got my kitten Juniper. This little cat of mine, she has her own personality, but some of the things that she does that like the shrill/meow, it's similar to what Arie does. It doesn't hurt but it's comforting
Well... that's the second time I've ugly cried today. Screw 2020, man, seriously.
I’m sorry. Things will get better.
@@LiveEachDay I'm ok. I'm just really empathetic and pet loss hits me hard... even when they're not my babies. Love you, Cory. You're in my thoughts.
A sad and good day, I have those often, sending y'all love ❤️
There's nothing wrong with grief. It gets intense because it's the full force of our love for someone we can't talk to or hug. I've been playing a video game lately which has an insanely beautiful soundtrack. One song in particular makes me feel longing and brings me to tears over missing my parents. I found the song on UA-cam and others were mentioning that it made them cry, too, and they didn't know why. I live a few hours away from my siblings and a brand new baby and I can't go see them because of COVID. My work puts me at high risk for catching it and our city's case numbers are just going crazy right now. I think that's part of the sadness I feel when I hear that song, is that I've been isolating since March (still going to work obviously) but it's going to be my second Christmas absolutely alone. It sucks. I wanted to see my family for Christmas this year but I can't. We're all getting tired of it but thankfully we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Sparta is happy and healthy where he is, he loves you as much as he ever did, and your reunion will be sweet and eternal. Hang in there, cry if you need to, but know that you're going to be all right.
Hey Cory, “Every bunny was Kung Foo fighting”
I knew I missed yer vlogs but I never realised I missed them this much until I watched this.
Ohhhh I love your house and yard. It is fun to look though and I do it but online because of the pandemic and snow makes it difficult to drive around looking at the outside of houses. There will always be those pets that take a piece of our hearts when they pass away.
You need to see more of Nebraska, other than the city and interstate. Nebraska has tons of hills and beautiful areas.
Corey and Kristen, use a portable potty chair for the car!!! Easiest potty breaks ever! Use bags to line them and bring TP and wipes.
Great to see you guys again 😊
Cory, you and the family need a REAL vacation, somewhere you've never been to escape from the sad memories. I really sense some indication of being stuck or trapped. You are the kind of person who needs to be free and have the room to spread out and do what you feel, and for the past few years I have not seen that in your vlogs. Granted, this is just me as a viewer and not someone with a firsthand insight into your life, but I think you would really enjoy getting "out". Regardless of the pandemic, I think you would have a great time just going on a cross-country road trip. It would give the kids a larger view of their world and it would give you and Kristen some measure of freedom and adventure. Be safe about it, but do what you need to do Cory, whatever that may be. Just do you. :)
GET that house! I can see you making a ton of videos just on yard alone
I feel the same Cory. I really do. My husband and I lost our sweet furry boy Poe a few months before Sparta passed. We have the same feelings about passing the place where we had to let our baby go. I don’t feel like I’ll ever feel the same again about his immeasurable loss. It’s been since May 4 and It still feels like yesterday. 💔
Yogurt up to her old tricks again. 😏 Yeah I feel you on Sparta dude. That was one of many ways that 2020 reached a new level of suckatude 😞😞😞 Everybody try to stay safe!
I sure do get that about passing by the vets place. It just about killed me to put my Guinea pig down. I loved him so much. I can NEVER own another animal. It’s been 4 years and I still cry.
Loved the throwback video of you and Josh but god Cory you got me crying with your talk about the boys 💔. It’s crazy because i obviously never met them but i do still feel that loss in my heart when i think of them. So loved and missed by so many of us ❤️
I really love these “real” vlogs. Keep them coming!
Glad to see y'all back ❤
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Happy holidays :)
I love the family rides and looking at houses and stuff.
That was so gorgeous! Could watch over and over. That elf was magic!!!
