So sorry to see VooDoo in pain. I have been in the veterinary field for 36 years and I have counseled many people about making “that” decision. I tell people “ It’s not something you are doing TO them, it’s something you are doing FOR them”❤️😢
Thank you for showing Voo at the end. Poor guy. After all he's been through. I don't think he's been the same since. Really love him. He's a warrior but even warriors need compassion to be pain free. I know it's so hard to make a decision. I know you both have his back.
They do love the grapes! Sorry the Chiefs lost. But the Hail Mary Mary at the end was amazing. I am so sorry Voo is not doing well. Jamie will do what is right for him.
It is the hardest part of loving a fur baby is saying goodbye and holding them as their heart slows then stops, they are at peace and no longer hurting but you will hurt every day with out them but knowing you did the right thing 😢for them
Voo is a huge part of ISS. I fell in love with him the moment I met him. He's everyone's sweet boy. As it hurts our hearts, we know his girl is waiting for him to run free over those beautiful hills and their spirits will be in the wind. 🪶
My heart hurts for y'all and for Voo. I had a 2 year old blue roan mare that got sick when I was 16. She very literally laid down and passed with her head laying in my arms. Im 45 now, and she still brings me to tears when I think about her. Prayers for all of you 🙏🙏🙏
So grateful Voodoo healed from his accident and stayed a bit longer! Been sobbing all day! His presence will be missed so very much, he deserves to be with his Dixie Gir! Hugs for giving him the best life and love ever🌟👑💔🌸💔
Thank you for this video. Voodoo is a beautiful, amazing and special horse. The images Dr Lauren took were telling. Sometimes the last gift we can give our animals is the one that is best for them but is so hard on us. Prayers for you all at this hard time especially Voodoo, Ivy, Jami and Lester.
When I have had to put an animal down due to pain or illness, after their gone I get this peace that comes over me because they aren't suffering anymore, it hurts a lot but, we have to make those hard decisions when we care and love our babies
Quality of life is everything. Yrs ago my stepsister took her life due to chronic pain from a back injury. Meds were not helping and a proposed surgery was not a guarantee. She could not bare to live the rest of her life in pain. She was in her 30's. Sending you love prayers ❤
@@kristithompson4838 I totally understand. I had hip issues even laying down I would just cry from the pain,after suffering a year and many drs …..I finally told the dr. My quality of life is nothing and I’d rather be dead than be a burden to my family. Finally got two hip implants and both shoulder implants! I can walk now and I can swing/hug with my arms normally now! I owe it to the drs that would listen and helped me heal my body!!
Voo is going g to be missed so much, but he will no longer be in such pain. My heart breaks for you two to have to make such a decision. Sending my love and prayers.
Voo is such a special, beautiful boy. We love and respect y’all’s decision because ultimately y’all are the ones that help them daily and see their good and horrible days. Holding y’all tight in prayers today.
I’ve been so sad all day about Voodoo. What a sweetheart Dr. Baker was to come see him. Praying for Jami. So hard to come to the decision and then, doing it. Yes, u don’t want them to suffer any longer.
Letting go isn’t easy but it's better than them being in pain as I know all to well myself you just carry them in your heart ♥. Voodoo is a warrior and a lover and will be thought of often as we do all who have gone before. Love you and Jami with all my heart.
For all the people who say to you and Jami, "YOU ALL ARE LIVING THE LIFE!!" remind them that part of "that life" you are living, also includes these tough, hard decisions that tears your heart out of your chest. Praying for comfort and peach for all involved.
Prayers for Voo. 🙏He is such a beautiful, kind horse. Making that decision is the hardest thing to do for him but watching him suffer is worse. I had to make that decision couple of times and it broke my heart even though I knew it was the best thing I could do for a animal I loved. I pray Voo has more 'good' days.❤
It is very hard to let go of a family animal. We love them & don't want them suffering. We as people don't get the option but to continue live in pain. ❤😢❤
Voodoo would be 18 this year. He's been on my mind all day. At one point I realized I was wiping tears away. I hope Claire is watching so she can quietly say her goodbye too
I'm happy that you are making Casper a part of your family because he deserves the best life ❤. I think Casper is the type of dog that needs one on one supervision when they are outside or a perimeter collar to keep him on the property and from wandering away !! Im praying for Voodoo anc Jami I know her heart is breaking 💔.
My heart breaks for Voo. You can see the way he is standing there and shifting his weight from leg to leg of how much he hurts. I know you both will make the right decision for our Voo. We will always love him.
Praying for Voo and yall. Totally support whatever decision is made. Of course like everyone, we don’t want to say see ya later. However, if he is miserable then that’s no quality of life and we don’t want him to suffer. When ever that time comes, Voo will be missed greatly. Such a special soul he has. Love and prayers of peace and comfort for y’all.
Pray for the two cows he’s lost CJ and the other one and the what 3 dogs he’s also lost now too. Replaced already disgusting. This guy buys dogs loses them and replaces them like nothing.
Voo, we all love you, you have been such a warrior. Mama Jami will take care of you. JAMI MY HEART IS BREAKING RIGHT ALONG WITH YOU. Voo fought so hard last August to heal. ❤❤😢😢❤❤
I've been watching since Harvey and Voodoo has always been a big part of ISS. We all know and we're here for the good, the bad, and the ugly. We will cry with you and Jami.
Casper looking out the sunroof of your truck was beautiful. I'm so glad he fits in with the rest of the dogs. I always love watching you feed snacks to the animals. They are so lucky to be loved by you and Jamie. But my heart breaks 💔 for Jami and you, for the hard decision that has to be made. Voodoo had my heart the moment he stepped out of the trailer when he arrived at ISS. Such a beautiful and majestic horse with the most beautiful blue eyes. The most powerful moment that I will always remember, was when you brought Voodoo and Buc-ee's to Longhorn Lester's, and you stopped in the driveway and Voodoo touched noses with sweet Dixie. He knew she was sick. That was the most beautiful moment. ❤. I'm going to miss him, but knowing he will no longer be in pain and he will be reunited with sweet Dixie girl and the two of them can run free in Green pastures. Sending much love hugs and prayers 🙏❤🤗
Jalen Hurts leading his team to a Super Bowl win was great to see, I watched him play college football and he is a great QB. Nice eats for SB watching. Casper has defiantly been an outside dog , the dogs never let Lester never ride alone 😆 My heart breaks for Jami and you, regarding Voodoo, the hardest decisions we have to make are heartbreaking ones but, the best for the one we are making them for. You and Jami do all you can for your animals, when it is time you let them go with dignity. ❤️🙏🏻
I agree with you Lester, to love a pet, is sometimes to let them go. If they are in pain, you/we need to put away our hurt, and let them out of theirs ❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
We all prayed so hard for Voo during his accident and I know I was so excited when he came back home. Seeing him now in pain is so heart breaking knowing how far he has come. It is so hard to have to make the decision to let them go., even when you know it is the right thing to do. My prayers are for Voo and Jami during this time.
The greatest and most unselfish love of all. ❤ The only way I can phantom people saying it’s easy or you don’t love hem. Is that they have never loved and lost a most cherished member of our family. ALS is a cruel and inhumane disease that strikes you and you are slowly paralyzed all over. Needing complete help do everything. So she was relieved and secure in her passing knowing her homecoming when she passed. If she was ready to go…how could we so selfishly want to keep her when ALS had taken over her body and the pain was unbearable and unforgiving. She is loved. She is missed. She will never be forgotten. ❤
I love that Ringo has become an honorary pig when it comes to snuggling up for naps or eating things that goats don’t usually eat 😂. Sending you all best wishes ❤
It’s the most unselfish love you can show your pet. Of course we want them to live forever but quality of life is everything. My 16 year old Cocker Spaniel mix Labrador Retriever fell in a hole my Chocolate Lab dug landed upside down and was stuck. I went to help her and she bite me. The only time she bit anyone. She was beside me raising my 3 children. When she did that I knew she was telling me. Hardest thing I had to tell my children. But they also knew. Quality of life for VooDoo. I couldn’t watch our Beloved Hannah suffer
I hope Casper stays! I love him like crazy, already. Beautiful boy. Ooh goody we get to treat the Littles! I'm still wishing for a piglet or two, but these are really plenty!
I'm a Philly girl. I've lived here all my life. I have to confess, I did not watch the game, but I knew the minute the Eagles won bc my neighbors were outside hollering and screaming, honking their horns, lighting off fireworks, banging pots. I was sound asleep and woke up to that. Scared the hell out of me. That's how I knew we won. Lol. Go Birds! 😂😂❤❤
You did everything you could. VooDoo knows he is deeply loved by you. Wishing you both lots of strength in this difficult time. Love and hugs from the Netherlands. 💔💖💔🫂🫂
Seeing Casper in the back seat off your car and having retriever/labs most of my life, I would say you have a beautiful retriever with a Pyrenees tail, in your truck. And every one of them loved fetching a tennis ball more than anything. They are natural “ RETRIEVERS”. Loving Family Dogs! Non of mine were afraid of our cows or chickens but certainly didn’t have an instinct to GUARD any of them. Casper will still be a wonderful family pet!
No matter what you decide about Voo, your hearts are going to HURT! I have had to make that decision far too many times in the past 40 years. Every dog and cat was so part of my soul. I have an older dog now that I will have to make that choice this spring. Rosco still eats well, gets excited to go outside, but he is getting so crippled up, along with some really nasty tumors. I want to bury him on my property when it happens, so will have to decide in late spring. I really hope he can go on his own when he does "perimeter" checks on a bright sunny day. My love and hugs are sent to you at this hard time and whatever decision you make---YOU HAVE GIVEN HIM AN OUTSTANDING LIFE!
It’s very heartbreaking to watch Voo suffer on his feet, but as hard as letting go is, that decision makes the world a difference! However, I’d truly be sad to see him gone! But it’s the way things are! @Lester & @Jami know we love him tremendously, but it’s harder on them because they are the ones who have been with him all these years! They’re going grieve!!
I do too, love him so much. I search every video for just a glimpse of his beautiful face. I love photos, I have taken over 5,000 photos of him. I have a 20x24 hanging on my bedroom wall. Ringo brought so many subscribers here. ❤🎉❤
I have always firmly believe that our animals tell us when they are ready to go, like Voo has done today. I’ve also always felt that I would rather have made the decision a day too early than a day too late! We love you all so much I’ve been praying for him and you all! You go run free Voo Doo. We will watch over mom and dad and the rest of your heard. 💔💔💔
Many positive healing loving hugs & prayers for you all healing energy for you and your 4 legged family during this difficult time all my heart is with you 💕💕
Thank you for visiting the pigs and ostriches and Ringo today, Lester. It has been a little while since I saw them eating their snacks. Praying for wonderful Voodoo and know that Jami and you will make the right decision, for Voo. I have a "final decision" will that my daughter will execute for me, because I have made her promise to think of me, when/ if I no longer feel good and want to give it up and go to the Lord. I know she will do it, and I rest easy knowing my wishes will be followed. It's so hard to do, but I had to do that for my mother, and also for my grandmother in the years past. Blessings!
I'm glad you took casper. I left a comment on one of their videos telling them that I would be glad to take him. The Great Pyrenees is notoriously iffy with birds. No one knows why, but they can often be very problematic with chickens and geese and other Farm fowl. Also, with all livestock Guardian breeds, they are never supposed to be left alone with livestock until they're about 2 and a half to three years old. Like all dogs, they have that drive to Chase and catch things as puppies. And I think everyone knows that dogs are puppies until they're about 3 years old. I shared this information with them when I told them that we would be happy to take on Casper here at our Homestead because we are looking for a couple more livestock guardians. I hope that you see this because I'm going to say this one more time, please deep dive into this breed. It's a 3,000-year-old dog breed with 3,000 year old genetics driving it. It is our job as the human to learn these drives and learn how to work with or around them but never directly against them. This is always something that causes big problems when you're trying to push against genetics. You have to remember every action has an equal and opposing reaction. With these dogs you have to learn those drives and find a way to focus those drives or work around the drives but you never want to work directly against them. This will always cause problems for the dog for the human and for the dog human relationship. I also tell people that they need to get those I tags and put on their Pyrenees collar right next to their rabies tag. This will allow you to track your Pyrenees in real time. This is part of their genetics that they wander for freaking ever. The person that I shared this 28 Acres with is a surveyor. At one of his job sites there's six Great Pyrenees just wandering around. He's been trying to catch them for a year I've been trying to help him since I moved out here in september. Pyrenees are notoriously difficult to catch or trap. Once they make a run for it, it can be very difficult to get them home if you don't have this tracker because the longer they are out there the more independent they become and it becomes difficult even for an owner to get their hands on them like what you've been going through with sadie. I hope that you see this so that you will make sure that Caspar is supervised at all times with your livestock. He is too young to be trusted alone with livestock. There are some great livestock Guardian groups on Facebook I highly recommend you find one and join it and take advantage of the knowledge and experience available
Im in prayer for voo its really a great thing to do for anyone voo has lived a beautiful life with you 2 i remember his 1 day coming to plum grove and then j l south , we give live love cry for our babies i know id rather voo never knows pain so you have my approval as if you needed but gave me my voodoo days thank you go rest high voo i love you big guy
Thank you so much. For making Casper apart of the family. I know he will be happy there. Sending prayers for Voo. Thank you, Lester, for caring for so many animals. I've followed your for several years.
We love you VooDoo ❤❤❤❤. It takes more courage and selflessness to do the right thing when you know the decision is hard. But the courage and strength and selflessness to help a beloved animal at the end stop suffering in pain is the ultimate act of love you can give them. I know exactly what you mean not sure I explained it right.
Pennsylvania in the house, Yay Eagles 🎉( But A Forever Steeler fan).I love when the Devil gets into My Favorite Boy Ringo ❤😂. My heart goes out for Jami💔.Thank you for listening to him and letting him have some dignity 🥺.Much love from Pennsylvania ❤
Sometimes you have to put your sadness aside and do what is best for your babies. Once you have explored all options, you will know what needs to be done for Voo. As heart wrenching as it is for you and all of us! Prayers that a fix will be found! 😢💔🙏🏼
Norma here Not a football fan, but my son was rooting for the Eagles, so I’m glad they won. Casper is part of the family already. He’s a very fortunate boy. Seeing Voo in such pain and discomfort is heartbreaking. I know that both you and Jami love him enough to do whatever is necessary. Prayers for all of you, including Ivy, the pony.
My mom used to say “sit on your Pitty Pot, & feel sorry for yourself”!😂 So when you said that to Carl, I couldn’t help but laugh 🤭 I love it when you give the babies healthy choices!🥰❤️Prolonging the inevitable only puts a band-aid on the issue, it doesn’t solve the problem. Sometimes letting go is the most selfless, but kindest gift one can give.🥺
@@Mandsb69❤❤ it is. Loved seeing Carl in all his glory 😂 yet, seeing our sweet boy Voo so down is heartbreaking 💔😭 Hugs to you my friend across the pond 🤗🤗🤗🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
You are right Lester. One of the greatest acts of love that we can show our beloved pets is to know when to let them go. My heart hurts so much for you and Jami as I know how deeply y'all love Voo. Praying you both find peace and comfort in knowing you have given him years of unconditional love and allowed him to live his best life.
Praying for Voo, it's so hard watching a fur baby in pain. My father passed in December and his last 2 weeks were extremely painful, me and my siblings prayed every day for the good Lord to take him. As hard as it was to lose him, we are thankful he is no longer suffering and our prayers were answered. Making this decision is the hardest and most caring thing a pet owner can make. Your choice is made based on your deep love for him, he knows that! God bless you all during this very difficult time!
Sending you love and prayers. ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 Voo, thank you. You have a permanent place in my heart and I wear your shirt & hoodie, Proudly! Dixie will be waiting for you. ❤❤❤❤
I am so heartbroken about Voodoo. I can’t stop tearing up every time I think of it. I wish they could live forever 😢 sending love, care and prayers for Voodoo. I keep hoping for a miracle.
Casper is such a good dog. I love him it’s kind of dog I like House dogs. I have a Yorky is a house dog only goes out on a leash to go potty and back in.
We hate to see our babies in pain. Prayers for y’all and Voo. I know exactly what you are going through and we have to love them enough to let go sometimes. Love your videos and lives. ❤❤
So sorry to see VooDoo in pain. I have been in the veterinary field for 36 years and I have counseled many people about making “that” decision. I tell people “ It’s not something you are doing TO them, it’s something you are doing FOR them”❤️😢
Perfectly said
👍❤
Greatest gift of love is the hardest to do. ❤
Nobody wants an animal to suffer
❤️
As I get older I realize that quality of life is everything.
so true
Dixie will be waiting for him and they’ll run free together
Thank you for showing Voo at the end. Poor guy. After all he's been through. I don't think he's been the same since. Really love him. He's a warrior but even warriors need compassion to be pain free. I know it's so hard to make a decision. I know you both have his back.
They do love the grapes! Sorry the Chiefs lost. But the Hail Mary Mary at the end was amazing. I am so sorry Voo is not doing well. Jamie will do what is right for him.
🎉🥳🎉 I was so happy the Eagles won. 🎉🥳🎉
It is the hardest part of loving a fur baby is saying goodbye and holding them as their heart slows then stops, they are at peace and no longer hurting but you will hurt every day with out them but knowing you did the right thing 😢for them
Voo is a huge part of ISS. I fell in love with him the moment I met him. He's everyone's sweet boy. As it hurts our hearts, we know his girl is waiting for him to run free over those beautiful hills and their spirits will be in the wind. 🪶
My heart hurts for y'all and for Voo. I had a 2 year old blue roan mare that got sick when I was 16. She very literally laid down and passed with her head laying in my arms. Im 45 now, and she still brings me to tears when I think about her.
Prayers for all of you 🙏🙏🙏
So so I can't imagine
OMG Caspers head out the sunroof was funny 🤣
Yeah guy replaced the dog he lost already “rescuing another”
So grateful Voodoo healed from his accident and stayed a bit longer! Been sobbing all day! His presence will be missed so very much, he deserves to be with his Dixie Gir! Hugs for giving him the best life and love ever🌟👑💔🌸💔
Thank you for this video. Voodoo is a beautiful, amazing and special horse. The images Dr Lauren took were telling. Sometimes the last gift we can give our animals is the one that is best for them but is so hard on us. Prayers for you all at this hard time especially Voodoo, Ivy, Jami and Lester.
I have loved enough to let go. It is hard and painful. Quality of life. Been years still hurts. Prayers for strength and comfort ❤❤
Poor Voo, sending love to you all. I've had to make that decision, it's gut wrenching. The very last act of kindness that you can do for them.
I totally agree with you Lester. Watching them suffer is heartbreaking 💔
When I have had to put an animal down due to pain or illness, after their gone I get this peace that comes over me because they aren't suffering anymore, it hurts a lot but, we have to make those hard decisions when we care and love our babies
Lauren sure shined a light on the extensive pain Voo is in. I do not want him to suffer!
My first choice for the ostriches was kale. 'Carl, can you be a gentleman?!'...Carl....'Nope'
Prayers for Voodoo and the decisions y'all make. Hugs.
I think that dog being on the leash is hope grounding you as well.Think that might be a great thing for you lester❤
Quality of life is everything. Yrs ago my stepsister took her life due to chronic pain from a back injury. Meds were not helping and a proposed surgery was not a guarantee. She could not bare to live the rest of her life in pain. She was in her 30's. Sending you love prayers ❤

Casper seems to be enjoying being a part of the family. ❤
Voo is going g to be missed so much, but he will no longer be in such pain. My heart breaks for you two to have to make such a decision. Sending my love and prayers.
Lester one thing y'all never need to worry about is your millions of people pray for every Animal every day.we love them as well.
AMEN!!!🙏
Voo is such a special, beautiful boy. We love and respect y’all’s decision because ultimately y’all are the ones that help them daily and see their good and horrible days. Holding y’all tight in prayers today.

He's so strong, but he's so tired. He has loved ,brought love and life to all of us. He will always been with us and will continue to be.
😪💔😪 My heart breaks for Voodoo, Jami and you. It's hard to say goodbye but quality of life matters. Thank you for listening to Voodoo's wishes. 😪💔😪
For all the people who say to you and Jami, "YOU ALL ARE LIVING THE LIFE!!" remind them that part of "that life" you are living, also includes these tough, hard decisions that tears your heart out of your chest. Praying for comfort and peach for all involved.

Hearing Ringos bell coming up behind you is the stuff of nightmares 😂. He doesn’t know nor care who Jesus is. Man on a mission.
Sweet voo looks so tired and uncomfortable. Sending him and all of you gentle hugs and support.
It is very hard to let go of a family animal. We love them & don't want them suffering. We as people don't get the option but to continue live in pain. ❤😢❤
Love you Voodoo ❤😢 This breaks my heart.

@PitterPat123 I'm sorry for your family's loss. When my Mom passed, it was a Blessed relief, she was out of pain.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I had to let my mother go and it was the hardest decision ever but I know it’s what she would have wanted. 😢

I love that Ringo has become an honorary pig when it comes to snuggling up for naps or eating things that goats don’t usually eat 😂. Sending you all best wishes ❤
Poor Voo... he's been thru so much. Hes been just magical.❤
Suffering is something that animals nor humans should ever have to endure.
It’s the most unselfish love you can show your pet. Of course we want them to live forever but quality of life is everything.

Ooh goody we get to treat the Littles! I'm still wishing for a piglet or two, but these are really plenty!
May the Lord put his hands on Voo, and ease his suffering and pain, and put his arms around y’all, to comfort you in this trying time 😢❤
I'm a Philly girl. I've lived here all my life. I have to confess, I did not watch the game, but I knew the minute the Eagles won bc my neighbors were outside hollering and screaming, honking their horns, lighting off fireworks, banging pots. I was sound asleep and woke up to that. Scared the hell out of me. That's how I knew we won. Lol. Go Birds! 😂😂❤❤
Fly eagles fly! Great exciting game for Eagles fans
You did everything you could. VooDoo knows he is deeply loved by you. Wishing you both lots of strength in this difficult time. Love and hugs from the Netherlands. 💔💖💔🫂🫂
I love it when you feed Ringo and all the piggies ❤
poor Voo, looks to be in so much pain
Seeing Casper in the back seat off your car and having retriever/labs most of my life, I would say you have a beautiful retriever with a Pyrenees tail, in your truck. And every one of them loved fetching a tennis ball more than anything. They are natural “ RETRIEVERS”. Loving Family Dogs! Non of mine were afraid of our cows or chickens but certainly didn’t have an instinct to GUARD any of them. Casper will still be a wonderful family pet!
No matter what you decide about Voo, your hearts are going to HURT! I have had to make that decision far too many times in the past 40 years. Every dog and cat was so part of my soul. I have an older dog now that I will have to make that choice this spring. Rosco still eats well, gets excited to go outside, but he is getting so crippled up, along with some really nasty tumors. I want to bury him on my property when it happens, so will have to decide in late spring. I really hope he can go on his own when he does "perimeter" checks on a bright sunny day. My love and hugs are sent to you at this hard time and whatever decision you make---YOU HAVE GIVEN HIM AN OUTSTANDING LIFE!
Love watching you with the animals!! Your commentary is always spot on❤
16:13 absolutely agree it's easier to allow them not to be suffering
I was just going to say something regarding that too!!
It’s very heartbreaking to watch Voo suffer on his feet, but as hard as letting go is, that decision makes the world a difference!
However, I’d truly be sad to see him gone! But it’s the way things are! @Lester & @Jami know we love him tremendously, but it’s harder on them because they are the ones who have been with him all these years! They’re going grieve!!
Thank God Ringo still has the “devil” in him! Still spry and ornery. Love that guy with all my heart. He’s what brought me here years ago.
I do too, love him so much. I search every video for just a glimpse of his beautiful face. I love photos, I have taken over 5,000 photos of him. I have a 20x24 hanging on my bedroom wall. Ringo brought so many subscribers here. ❤🎉❤
I have always firmly believe that our animals tell us when they are ready to go, like Voo has done today. I’ve also always felt that I would rather have made the decision a day too early than a day too late! We love you all so much I’ve been praying for him and you all! You go run free Voo Doo. We will watch over mom and dad and the rest of your heard. 💔💔💔
I love Carl. He loves you and all your antics with him. Wonderful job Eagles
Dear beautiful Voo. Hugs for him and Jami.
Our hearts break with you for VooDoo.
So sorry to see Voo In such Pain. It's heart breaking. My Prayers for Voo and Ivy. We love you all.🙏🙏❤❤❤
Many positive healing loving hugs & prayers for you all healing energy for you and your 4 legged family during this difficult time all my heart is with you 💕💕
Bless you in your painful choices, i pray that Voo gets his wings to help more of your babies.
Thank you for visiting the pigs and ostriches and Ringo today, Lester. It has been a little while since I saw them eating their snacks. Praying for wonderful Voodoo and know that Jami and you will make the right decision, for Voo. I have a "final decision" will that my daughter will execute for me, because I have made her promise to think of me, when/ if I no longer feel good and want to give it up and go to the Lord. I know she will do it, and I rest easy knowing my wishes will be followed. It's so hard to do, but I had to do that for my mother, and also for my grandmother in the years past. Blessings!
Your new "Kids" video is great! They are getting better every time. ❤
I'm glad you took casper. I left a comment on one of their videos telling them that I would be glad to take him. The Great Pyrenees is notoriously iffy with birds. No one knows why, but they can often be very problematic with chickens and geese and other Farm fowl. Also, with all livestock Guardian breeds, they are never supposed to be left alone with livestock until they're about 2 and a half to three years old. Like all dogs, they have that drive to Chase and catch things as puppies. And I think everyone knows that dogs are puppies until they're about 3 years old. I shared this information with them when I told them that we would be happy to take on Casper here at our Homestead because we are looking for a couple more livestock guardians. I hope that you see this because I'm going to say this one more time, please deep dive into this breed. It's a 3,000-year-old dog breed with 3,000 year old genetics driving it. It is our job as the human to learn these drives and learn how to work with or around them but never directly against them. This is always something that causes big problems when you're trying to push against genetics. You have to remember every action has an equal and opposing reaction. With these dogs you have to learn those drives and find a way to focus those drives or work around the drives but you never want to work directly against them. This will always cause problems for the dog for the human and for the dog human relationship. I also tell people that they need to get those I tags and put on their Pyrenees collar right next to their rabies tag. This will allow you to track your Pyrenees in real time. This is part of their genetics that they wander for freaking ever. The person that I shared this 28 Acres with is a surveyor. At one of his job sites there's six Great Pyrenees just wandering around. He's been trying to catch them for a year I've been trying to help him since I moved out here in september. Pyrenees are notoriously difficult to catch or trap. Once they make a run for it, it can be very difficult to get them home if you don't have this tracker because the longer they are out there the more independent they become and it becomes difficult even for an owner to get their hands on them like what you've been going through with sadie. I hope that you see this so that you will make sure that Caspar is supervised at all times with your livestock. He is too young to be trusted alone with livestock. There are some great livestock Guardian groups on Facebook I highly recommend you find one and join it and take advantage of the knowledge and experience available
Yet he’s lost Sadie yep get another dog for Sadie to go feral with.
Voo isnt hurting anymore. Prayers for Jami. I know this is really hard on her. Just know. He is no longer suffering. RIParadise horsey paradise.
Lady Voo is not dead as of yet

Thank you so much. For making Casper apart of the family. I know he will be happy there. Sending prayers for Voo. Thank you, Lester, for caring for so many animals. I've followed your for several years.
So sorry to see Voo in such pain. Jami God bless you and Lester as you make decisions.❤❤
We love you VooDoo ❤❤❤❤. It takes more courage and selflessness to do the right thing when you know the decision is hard. But the courage and strength and selflessness to help a beloved animal at the end stop suffering in pain is the ultimate act of love you can give them. I know exactly what you mean not sure I explained it right.
Prayers for Voo Doo, Jami, Ivy, and Sadie. I remember when Tiny Tim stole Petunia's mango.
Sending heartfelt prayers to Voodoo Jami and yourself, Lester. Voo has been such a warrior.
Pennsylvania in the house, Yay Eagles 🎉( But A Forever Steeler fan).I love when the Devil gets into My Favorite Boy Ringo ❤😂. My heart goes out for Jami💔.Thank you for listening to him and letting him have some dignity 🥺.Much love from Pennsylvania ❤
Sometimes you have to put your sadness aside and do what is best for your babies. Once you have explored all options, you will know what needs to be done for Voo. As heart wrenching as it is for you and all of us! Prayers that a fix will be found! 😢💔🙏🏼
Norma here
Not a football fan, but my son was rooting for the Eagles, so I’m glad they won.
Casper is part of the family already. He’s a very fortunate boy. Seeing Voo in such pain and discomfort is heartbreaking. I know that both you and Jami love him enough to do whatever is necessary. Prayers for all of you, including Ivy, the pony.
Lester watched PawPaws video on your tattoos. So very heartwarming. ❤. Made me tear up
Praying for Voo and Ivy❤❤
Casper is a sweetheart!
Prayers to you all and voo. You have an absolute amazing team of vets and other animal care providers.
My mom used to say “sit on your Pitty Pot, & feel sorry for yourself”!😂 So when you said that to Carl, I couldn’t help but laugh 🤭 I love it when you give the babies healthy choices!🥰❤️Prolonging the inevitable only puts a band-aid on the issue, it doesn’t solve the problem. Sometimes letting go is the most selfless, but kindest gift one can give.🥺
Happy but Sad video Treacle 😢 Take care my sweet American Friend ❤❤❤
@@Mandsb69❤❤ it is. Loved seeing Carl in all his glory 😂 yet, seeing our sweet boy Voo so down is heartbreaking 💔😭 Hugs to you my friend across the pond 🤗🤗🤗🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
You are right Lester. One of the greatest acts of love that we can show our beloved pets is to know when to let them go. My heart hurts so much for you and Jami as I know how deeply y'all love Voo. Praying you both find peace and comfort in knowing you have given him years of unconditional love and allowed him to live his best life.
Oh the dangers of taking snacks out to the animals! 😂😂😂❤
It turns to pure chaos every time lol
Praying for Voo, it's so hard watching a fur baby in pain. My father passed in December and his last 2 weeks were extremely painful, me and my siblings prayed every day for the good Lord to take him. As hard as it was to lose him, we are thankful he is no longer suffering and our prayers were answered. Making this decision is the hardest and most caring thing a pet owner can make. Your choice is made based on your deep love for him, he knows that! God bless you all during this very difficult time!
Sending you love and prayers. ❤️🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 Voo, thank you. You have a permanent place in my heart and I wear your shirt & hoodie, Proudly! Dixie will be waiting for you. ❤❤❤❤
I am so heartbroken about Voodoo. I can’t stop tearing up every time I think of it. I wish they could live forever 😢 sending love, care and prayers for Voodoo. I keep hoping for a miracle.
Casper is such a good dog. I love him it’s kind of dog I like House dogs. I have a Yorky is a house dog only goes out on a leash to go potty and back in.
We hate to see our babies in pain. Prayers for y’all and Voo. I know exactly what you are going through and we have to love them enough to let go sometimes. Love your videos and lives. ❤❤
