When we adopted our 16 year old Pomeranian, he was clearly going downhill. We just wanted to give him a peaceful life for his final days. With dietary changes, love, and a homestead to enjoy, he has made it to 22! He acts like a puppy again.
As a trainer, THANK YOU!!! For giving the disclaimer of teaching kids to respect the animals.
The picture of Azlan sleeping on the couch is the best thing I have seen all day. 🤣🤣🤣
Like how you talk about dogs as if they are dogs, you don't make little humans of them, that makes the relationship between you and your dogs more natural. Love that.
I really appreciate when pet owners train their children & pets how to interact together, while respecting each other. It’s SO IMPORTANT! I grew up with lots of animals & didn’t realize until adulthood how many people really don’t understand the importance of respecting animals.
You two together are such a delight - best friends balancing each other. You SO rock. Love this new offering - and the explanatory stills. What a hoot!
I love how goofy they are together #bestfriends ❤️😂
I’m so happy you teach your children how to behave around animals. The statement you made about how dogs no matter how much you teach them, could rip your child’s face off. This is so very true and you are definitely protecting your children and your animals in the best way possible while still loving them and allowing them them to grow up,safely together!
You and CR work so well together 💕 It’s beautiful!
Love what you said about teaching kids beeing respectful with the animals, how to behave around them and let them be animals. Very well put!👌🏻
great attitude, how you slowly and carefully manage to introduce all the dogs to each other and to your children as well ! and teaching the children to respect the animals. It is so the right way and I love this ! 👍
I think it makes great human on our planet... and we need all of those we can get. 🙏☺️💙🌎
I own two Great Pyrenees too so I hear the pain of the hair and poop too. I appreciate your perspectives on building boundaries between children and family pets.
This truly is my most favorite channel. I watch regularly about 3-4 channels as time permits- more on down days, sick days etc... so many different types & topics- but yours is the MOST down to earth, entertaining, most influential on my mood and inspiration, and best eye candy- so much to see, so many beautiful aspects from the obvious good looking humans, animals, home projects, and land. Seriously- I share you to so many at least weekly I am recommending you! So happy you are successful & I’m proud to do my little support to keeping this family sustainable with parents at home doing the hard work! Love and many blessings.
PS. Praying for all often.
PPS: I’ve been considering a move to SC from CA in next 2 yrs. at 50yrs old, I’m a little concerned about having a social life there- just can’t afford to travel much right now to check it all out. You tuber Pretty Over 50 just moved to Aiken- and just looks gorgeous, yet is it too quiet for a newly single empty nester? 🤷🏼♀️
Loved that clip of Aslan when you said you have to train the instincts or you won't get what you want 😂
My kids loved listening to this. We don't have a good place for dogs so they're living vicariously atm. My daughter is excited about hearing how to raise chickens!
I love seeing you and CR together!
I think y’all are amazing with how many dogs and animals you have! I love dogs and am so amazed at how you love your animals.
I love videos with Christopher! You both seem like amazing people and I truly love watching your channel!! ❤️
Its funny how when you get a property you end up with so many animals. We started with 1 dog, 1 cat ( indoor) ,2 horses and a barn cat and ended up with 5 dogs, several outdoor cats, 5 horse( plus we boarded between 4- 8 at any given time) chickens, Guinea hens and our neighbors goat liked to hang out several days a week.
Haha❤️
Thank you for explaining and promoting good quality pet food. I have been telling everyone about the importance but when they see the price people just say nope.
Sat here with my one Labrador and looking forward to hearing the reality of adding to the family :)
Love, love, love videos like this! Keep'em coming, Angie and CR!
Enjoyed so much. They are all so beautiful.
Loved hearing your pack story. I have six Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. We had mum, 3yrs and dad, 5yrs, first, and then they had their one and only litter and we got our four babies, now 1 years old. They are the best for sure.
I have a cavalier as one of my 3 dogs. She’s so sweet but definitely feels like I revolve around her life. Do you feel that way about yours?
@@samrob167 Mine are really easy going, mostly. I do have one that doesn't like to be left but I generally take her most places with me, if I can. I rescued her when she was a puppy and I think her experiences after birth definitely shaped her personality. She is extremely protective of us and loves with everything she has. Jace, my oldest is an angel, so well behaved and smart. The puppies definitely inherited his nature so I think that makes a difference.
We have three standard poodles at the moment, all under 6 years old, after the passing of our two senior dogs. We'll have more dogs of differing breeds once we move onto a larger property...the girls are super smart, wonderful companions and they get along with each other beautifully.
Missing my giant Standard poodle so. He was a gift at 5 months old and the greatest pup. Hope y'all have many many great years together.
I have a 14 year old dog and I have been making her dog food myself for about 7 years. She suffered with serious stomach problems until I started making her food. It’s so easy and I make a months worth a time. I divide it up and freeze it.
Would love to know what you do for this!!
Where is the other mini Australian Shepherd, who had the heart surgery? How is he doing?
When my dog went deaf, I used to flash a bright flashlight on and off, for her to come back. Thank goodness she could still see!
That was a super long outro, I was waiting for some secret content or something! 🤣
I would love to see a video on your cats, though I know you said you're working on that. I am a cat person through and through, but we got a Schnoodle in November, and the family just loves her! I almost want another dog some days, but having just one (with a moderately sized backyard) is a lot of work. If I had 10 acres, I would also own a whole pack of dogs! Love these types of videos, btw. ♥
Stella & Chloe ❤️ I remember them when you were living in your old home
Is it my airpods or do you guys have bad audio today? I'm not seeing anyone else commenting about it...
Hearing the same thing as you!!
Yes there is some crackling of the sound
Yes can hear with and without airpods but definitely feels worse with them in
I had no audio issues or crackling
It's a little crackley
Me hanging out all post-video for the song ❤️
Thank you for making their lives great.
A robotvacuum cleaner is a good help when you have dogs or cats inside your house, and an automatic pet door so you don´t need to wake up in the middle of the night.
They're on a farm and probably need to keep an eye on the little/old dogs. Too many things can happen to them at night.
🙏🐾💙
We have six dogs! It's quite the adventure but we love each one of them 💖
You are spot in with the pet food. It is a shame that high quality pet food is expensive. At one point I made some of my cat’s food with real chicken, chicken liver, taurine, salmon oil and various supplements and vitamins.
Aslan sleeping on the couch!! 😂🤣🤣
We have 13 dogs. Our only problem is our place is too small. They are crazy at times. Pomskies are insane. Lots of energy. Our oldest is 11 and youngest is 16 weeks. Some challenges at times when they get along. COVID didn't help the anxiety issues with some. Separation anxiety seems to be an issue for one. My daughter has ADHD and ASD but it helps to show her how to treat animals. She arrived from China never seeing a dog We had four then. Lost one while we went to China to being my daughter home.
Yes, it's a full time job. Are they all outside trained? Yes, every night around 3-5a our puppy wakes up. 😳😴 Some of our dogs travel with us. So much fun.
I have a pack too, 4 Labradors and 1 Siberian Husky plus fosters or dogsitting pups. I think the main thing to maintaining a number of dogs is that they all get along well with each other, any other animals in the home, and the people. One difficult dog, or dog that causes conflict in the pack can make everyone crazy. Building in consistent routines help things like feeding. Always feed the same dog in the same spot in the same order every single time. Giving each dog their favorite activity or cuddle time with me to make sure they all feel loved and special, just like kids. Our latest adoption is a 1 yr old Lab, who has been a bit needy both in training and love, so I am making sure to give attention to our other dogs so they don't feel left out. Mostly, it's good though and I think the dogs appreciate having each other to play and snuggle with.
You two wre the best couple I know. Thanks for sharing you life with us. Vera, from Lisbon, Portugal, EU.
In my daughters house the corgi mix rules the roost over a pittbull and a black lab mix. Good thing the big dogs do not care that the corgi mix is the boss.
Thank you so much for bluntly saying that cute puppy will get large. When I go out I have had to tell strangers they need to respects my puppy rules or they can not pet my puppy. Mouthing especially for a Blue Heeler is not cute it is as you said "a recipe for disaster later"
I just buy a natural vitamin on amazon for flea and ticks cheap and I just gave all my puppys the beginning shots myself from tractor supply way cheaper!! So thankful my 2 month old pup never woke up at night and potty trained at 3 months. Each is different and my first pup was more work! Pure ballance is a good brand OR Purina. No fillers in either! I like that more kibbles are healthier now.
Hahahah, the second the dialogue starts to resemble an ad...and BAM, there it was right on cue.
I love all dogs especially your dogs. They
Are beautiful. I have a senior dog. Ty for
Showing them
We love our 3 dogs, 2 Rotties and 1 fluffy old lady. Definitely a pecking order and let them near the poultry at your peril. 99.9 % percent of the time asleep on the couch.
That was fun..thanks for sharing 🐶🐕💗
We have 6 kids age 2-12 and 10 dogs.
3 Great Pyrenees
2 Newfoundland Pyre mix
3 Pyredoodles
1 border collie Pyre mix
1 mix pyre and I dont know what.
That's disgusting. Your house probably smells like a petting zoo.
@@cyrilmatsoukas4804 we live on a 330 acre farm, the dogs have a barn. But thank you for your disdain, and opinion on the smell of my house. You seem like a really charming character.
I think its awesome you can care for so many children and animals. I have 15 pets and aspire to have children as a single mom in the future
Beautiful pack and lovely people taking care of them. 🐶🐾💙🙏 Wish everyone was this thoughtful about pets.
And because I learned the hard way, I'm most concerned about heartworm meds and that they don't have access to streets/roads where harm could come to them.
✨🌈💔🐾🙏
Thanks for letting me put in my 2¢. ☺️💙
God bless y'all.
Aslan is living his best life on the sofa! LOL 😂😂😂😂
We have 3 border collie/australian shepherd mixes-8,5 & 3. My son's heelermix joins our pack while he works, 5-6 days a week. Having multiple dogs really helps with burning off some of that excess energy, especially with these high energy breeds!!!
Would love to hear about the chickens because we have been considering adding a coop.
If i had one to tip about having a dog in the house, it would be to not let the dog sleep)stay on the sofa/bed. My dog had a urinating problem when she got older, she had no control over her blatter. Than we decided to always keep her on the floor. It was not nice for her because she was so used being with us on the sofa/bed. If we learned her this when she was a puppy, it wouldn't be hard for her at all
What is up with the bumping in the audio???
I didn't realize it was happening until you said it. Happens a lot mid video, maybe more in the end but I'm still watching lol.
Sounds like heartbeats a little lol maybe its a clipped mic ?
I LOVE YOUR FAMLY MUSIC YOU ARE ON A HIGH ROAD FOR SURE AND THE DOGS ARE AMAZING FOR SURE
Y’all are the best ❤️
TikTok informed me about Fish Oil/sardines. It has been so amazing for my dogs coats. I have 4 dogs and food changes has been so beneficial for them.
Im happy to hear you say that children also need to learn how to treat/ play with animals. I have trouble when I see children mistreat or be mean to animals but when the animal/dog nips they get in trouble. So many dogs are being taken to humane society since Covid has “ended”. It is so sad and maddening that people would do this.
We have six weimeraners. We breed with them and kept two from our last litter. The one female has a leaking heart valve and I couldn't just pawn her off on someone else and the male was just too cute to let go LOL. They are Loki (our male, 3), Daisy (mom of the last litter, 7), Freya (has not had a litter yet, 2), Hella (the youngest, also still a puppy at 10 months old) and then the pups Liv and Odin, three and a half months old. I love this breed and probably won't buy another type, but never say never. They are city dogs still getting used to all our farm animals 🤣. We moved a year ago and although they LOVE all the space on the farm, they still need to adjust to the animals.
i love Aslan even though he may not be a splendid guard dog. 🐶
Thank you so very much for mentioning about teaching kids to respect the animal, this is not done on the regular and needs to be done. Thank You, they are not a stuffy here for your Pleasure.
Omg your husband has the exact 💯 same style as me..and I love it. Love your backdrop and the dawgs..its all so bountiful..you guys are workaholics..that's what I need my partner to be ❤ 😍. Blessings to you Beautiful couple.
Now there is 8 with Beth !
Love you guys ❤️❤️
Can you do a video about buying all the food needed for all your pets and the cost. I remember one awhile ago before you got more pets.
I love dogs and we have 3 ourselves. I’m very inspired by you all having 7. I’ve always had a hard time with leaving my dogs though. We crate them but obviously can’t be gone long when we do. I’m curious to know what you do with 7 dogs when you leave the house.
I would love to feed our dogs that but $80 for a 22 lb bag is steep for just two big dogs lol I can’t imagine what your high end dog food cost!
always love when you and CR do videos together
My dog eats what I eat. Give or take a few things that digs can't ear. I just don't add seasoning to her food and I had essentials and vitamins. My female boxer looked old ..now she looks 5 years youngers
We have had as many as 8 dogs, but currently have 6, including 2 big hairy wolf dogs. The wolf dogs are the best behaved in the pack! The hair is out of control though!!
I would love to have that many dogs.
I thought you had two toy Ausi Shepherds?
Thank you 🙏
Didn't you used to have 2 toy Australian shepherds
It is choppy like there is wind.
We have a pack of yorkies (3). They are stubborn! If they go out and do their business in the middle of of night, you better remember to give them their treat! My female yorkie Jax will stand by the door and not come to bed until you return and fish in the treat jar for her reward. She has a sense of fair play. She is also the biggest yorkie in Michigan. At least that’s the Green family option, as she weighs in at about ten pounds. You have a goat that thinks she is a dog … well my dog thinks she is a goat! She will eat the weirdest stuff. If you are breaking up dry pasta and some ends up on the floor, Jax will go around retrieving/snacking on it! She would sell you out for one bite on bologna or bacon. Food for her is more serious then loyalty. Our youngest yorkie “Blue” is 3 pounds soaking wet, with the heart of a Lion. She is so sweet that there are times I think I’m ruining her. Right now I have her trained to think that if Jax goes potty she (Blue) gets a treat. She is still a puppy and hasn’t got the whole potty training thing down (and why would she with me slipping her treats just because I can’t stand to watch her look at me with that little hairy face when Jax gets a treat for going potty). Our third yorkie “pippin” is also about three pounds but she is the Stella of our pack. She is thirteen and starting to fall apart. She favors my 86 year old father and his reward for being her favorite is that he gets to carry her around. She will stand in front of my dad and bark until he does what she wants. Dad has always had hunting dogs as he hunts and fishes. The idea of a yorkie running his life is just a crack up! We all (5 kids in my family) refer to Pippin as “dad’s hunting dog”. He (dad) is often found shuffling around with Pippin under an arm mumbling “you’re not the boss of me”. We also have two female bangle cats that are the weirdest things. They love water so I often share the shower with one or both of them. They also have a routine. Every day they make their rounds. First stopping to flip all the pop bottles out of the bin. Then they go from one (of 3) bathrooms knocking stuff in the sinks? If you don’t remember to put the tp on its holder they push that in the sink to get dripped on. They both dip their paws in the water dishes and drink off their paws. They play in the water dishes they don’t drink out of them. For a while Blue imitated them and would splash water all over. She would get practically in the water dish as she is so small. Our cats have ten pounds on Blue but she spends her day trying to ambush the cats. They just humor her. Pets make life so fun!
I think when you have a platform it is important to encourage responsible pet ownership. This being not only how you take care of your animals but where you get them. If you aren’t going to buy from a responsible breeder, you really should adopt. Backyard breeding is rampant in this country. Don’t pay greeders for designer mixes. Purchase from breeders conducting all of the recommended health and genetic testing and who work with their animals to achieve titles. If you aren’t doing that, you are supporting pet over population buy lining the pockets of irresponsible breeders. Adopt or shop responsibly.
Fun series! But I'm still happy with my one labradoodle and one kitty.
Llama video next would be neat.
Empty nest here, we’ve filled our home and hearts with our 3 dog pack wouldn’t have it any other way
☮️❣️💟❣️✝️
What vacuum do you find works best for all the shedding ?
So....Now I want to know what the hierarchy order is.🤭
Who is the leader of the pack?
QUESTION- do you keep them crated at night and if so where?! We have a very large living room but I'm so sick of seeing 4 dog crates as part of the decor. Our 2 beagles definitely need to be crated at night and we found our 2 chocolate labs do best when crated as well at night. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Your tiniest dog, the second one, Chloe… Looks like she has Chihuahua and terrier in it’s lineage :-). She looks a lot like my Tinker who lived till 19.5 Yrs old.
I love Aslan!
beautiful video...🧿💙🤗🍀💜
Care, respect and mostly Love your dogs.. 🧿🤗
Are all your dogs desexed? Would you ever breed your dogs ?
5:39 I will take the chocolate Carmel 🍫 😋 one
I know it hard with the internet but how do you get your kids to respect pets. I’ve been trying to teach my son since he was born. He is now three and has no interest in be affectionate to a dog. We are trying to teach him dogs are family and they have feelings. I never knew it would be so hard having dogs and kids together.
The big dogs need to be brushed daily with the undercoat brush. Also a good bonding for humans and animals.
Where is the other mini shepherd??
We cannot have rugs with our one big 80lb boy…. He sheds a Lot!! His poop is humongous🤣🤣. Acana dog food has stopped our dog’s allergic reactions…
Aslan(sp?)is my spirit animal!😉
While you teach your child to respect dogs it is also important to teach your dog that you are the head of pact and the children are over them also.
I must have missed a chapter.... I didn't know one the dogs passed away!
We live on 20 acres and there is a silly Bi-law that says we can only have 3 dogs. I get that in town but really when you have property that seems dumb to me.
We have two dogs one pitty and one pitty husky cross, I had no idea the amount of hair that could happen from a dog until we got our cross haha add in the two cats we have and the hamster there’s so much hair! We also have a snake and a gecko haha 😂 I can’t imagine getting another dog lol you guys are truly Saints!
I know you're property isn’t entirely fenced off (at least where the dogs can go), but have you considered fencing off a part where you could put in a dog door for them to go in and out on their own? One of those ones that has the chip thing you put on their collars so it only opens for your pups?
I mean you probably have thought about it but I am interested in your thoughts
we have a German Shepard and a cat and on the balance I like the cat more but to be sure the German Shepard loves me more than the cat does!
Interested in the dog food! Which kind do you use for your Goldendoodle? I have a 1 year old GD and a 3 month old Cavapoo.
I have a golden retriever and I feed him Orijens! It’s an incredible dog food.
Do the dogs ever run after deer and run off the property? How do you keep them on the property? They are beautiful dogs!
I’m curious…do y’all get your dogs’ teeth cleaned with any regularity? That’s a HUGE cost that people accustomed to large-breed dogs may not expect when they add a small breed to the pack! When our kids were growing up, we had various retrievers as pets (a Chessie and 2 Labs, all 80-95 lbs as adults, and all living 12-14 years). After losing our Black Lab, and with our boys all in college, DH and I chose to switch to small dogs: an Emperial Shih Tzu (11 lbs as an adult) and a little Maltese-Chi rescue who has never gotten above 3.5 lbs. We fed our retrievers dry food only, nothing soggy and no “people food,” on the advice of my Veterinarian dad. It kept their teeth in such good shape that we only had to have them surgically cleaned once or twice each over their lifetimes. Oh my gosh, not the case with our small dogs! I even brush their teeth myself several times a week, and they still need to have them professionally done almost annually. And even at that, bad teeth have had to be removed during a cleaning. I’m sharing because it’s just one more thing to keep in mind when counting up the costs of adding a dog to the family. To me, they’re worth every penny spent, mind you! We love our fur babies! Just saying that anyone considering a dog needs to realize that there are certain responsibilities that come with it … not only love, not only neutering, not only good food, water, protection, toys, time, and exercise, but also proper, regular medical care. Our lesson with smaller breeds has been that the smaller the size, the bigger the dentistry bills. But it’s necessary. Bad teeth cause them excruciating pain - they’ll stop eating altogether! -and related infections can literally cause death. Just a cost to consider. The last surgical cleaning for our 2 was last September … it totaled $1,250.00, and September is right around the corner again.
Yes, many small breeds have awful teeth. We have a 14-year-old chihuahua, and his teeth have been awful for years. We have them cleaned once a year. Usually extractions are needed. This year two molars removed and one was abcessed. Along with one vaccination, heartworm test and meds...$929.00. We used to have lots of pets, but I don't want the expense anymore!
