    I am feeling really settled back in the van, with Akela, enjoying our tiny home and slow mornings. The more I think of spending time on my property (so soon!) the more I hope to create the same coziness that I did with my little DIY van!
    Thanks for being here everyone, much love from Akela and I!

    Saudade is a Portugese word. My paternal grandparents, along with my father, were from Portugal. When my grandfather would go out on his long fishing trips to support his family, my grandmother would often use the word saudade, pronounced sow-dod to express her longing for my grandfather to come home from fishing. While my grandmother knew these fishing trips were necessary, the melancholy feeling of missing my grandfather would sometimes appear. I have not heard the word saudade in quite some time. Thank you for bringing back fond memories of my summers with my grandparents in the Azores.

    This is something I’ve done for over 40 years. When I realize my dog is getting older. I will take time and locate a puppy or much younger dog. My current dog will help in the selection of the next dog. It will grow and learn from the older dog. Learn how to just simply be a dog and companion. When the older dog passes, they all do and it rips out our heart. The new dog will be able and prepared to step into her new role in life. This really helps us and them

      True. My Rory was 12. A Pomeranian mix and the smartest wee boy. Never neutered but never left my side 🐾♥️ We were dealing with a huge tumour on his front wrist. Couldn’t operate they said due to his heart and numbers if allergies. My son got me Sorcha Claire then , a Siberian husky and she grew up with Rory♥️ And is SO much like him now. Rory had the surgery as a last resort when the tumour broke open when it stretched the skin to capacity. I PRAYED and PRAYED. Absolutely terrified but he made it 😊🙏 GOD be thanked. He healed great and lived to almost 19. I had to make that horrible decision at the vets office when what I thought was infected teeth were cancer in his sinus, behind one eye and stomach cancer 💔💔😪 Sorcha helped me so much to handle that and each time I’d cry, she’d be RIGHT THERE. She birthed her puppies early, the night he died. Vet said stress ,, everyone was breeched and end up at emergency at 2 am for supervision. Terrified I’d lose her too. She did good but I had her spayed after the puppies went to their homes It was her 4th litter and now she’s enjoying retirement 😊. ( my son is a breeder )

      We've kinda done the same over time but, we get a rescue and let them have many years together and sometimes add in another after six years or so. We do this so when the oldest passes on to their final destination the second doesn't go into a depression, we experienced that before, so we got another rescue. We have four girls all together now, I call two of them my big girls and then the other two are my littles, they are like six pounds vs the eighty and forty pound big girls. Dogs are amazing and love to be in packs, when possible.

    I think these are the two happiest dogs on the whole planet. During the scenes were you are just filming and we can peer into your life, I get overwhelmed with emotion during the moments you share with Akela. Truly a beautiful relationship and one that I wish more people treasured with their dogs. Thank you for sharing with us.

    Happy Belated Birthday to Akela (and Kobuk too lol)! This was such a sweet video. I lost my girl in January after 13 wonderful years. She was mischievous like Akela when it came to food.. But she was so cute I could never stay mad. Sometimes it's still a little bittersweet to see people with their pups, but Akela's eyes remind me of my girl. There is a sweet gentleness that just melts your heart.

    I wanted to let you know that although I'm twice your age, I've learned things from you about being yourself to the outside world. I was raised to be "feminine", which at the time meant downplaying my abilities. I love that you allow yourself to be you. You are putting good out into the world, and I'm happy for you and proud of you. You inspire me!
