I lost my favorite pet two days ago. My Walter was a greyhound rescue. A big but gentle soul. Timid and always afraid of others I remember one time I fell down my concrete steps and lay unconscious. He stood with me until the ambulance came. And even though he was terrified of strangers, he wouldn’t leave me. My heart is broken
I am so sorry Gail you lost your Walter and oh how he loved you to guard over you when you had fallen. I remember when my Cooper died and nothing could console me...for some reason, I wrote down a list of all the lessons Cooper had taught me....kindness...unconditional love and a sense of playfulness....a life without malice or anger and a new appreciation for eating peanut butter straight out of the jar...and for some reason, I felt better...then I looked at myself crying and I realized, Coper hated it when I cried...he would leave the room! Our dogs loved us and they wanted us to be happy....so it helped me get back on my feet...I wanted to do what my Coops wanted me to do.....my love to you and yours and God Bless Walter, may he rest in peace. xxoo Susan & Dez
I am so sorry for your loss Gail. I am tearing up as I’m writing this. My current dog is that for me. She is the best friend I have ever had and I mean EVER. She is with me thru the good and bad times and any adventure I might have. I cry with her and vent with her and dance with her and laugh with her. She is everything. She knows when I’m having a bad day health wise before I am willing to admit it. She is my BEST friend. She is always there for me. There is no way I could love her more She is having trouble walking and looks a little off lately and I am taking her to an orthopaedic specialist soon. I am praying it isn’t too serious. I absolutely cannot stand the thought of losing her. She is my Walter. And we only get one Walter in life. We have a lot of pets if we are lucky but not like our Walter. I am so sorry Gail. Please know that I am praying for you and I am giving you a big warm virtual hug right now. Your heart will heal of course and you will have all of your lovely memories like the one you shared. Maybe even another companion? It won’t be Walter but it might make you feel a little less sad. Take care of yourself ok? Stay healthy happy and safe 😊❤️🙏🏻
I'm so sorry your heart is broken. They just never live long enough. I am sure he is now your protector from another realm and if you sit real still you should be able to feel his love.
I'm so very sorry Gail. My deepest condolences. My world came crashing down when Gibbs, my retired racing greyhound, died this past February. He was my constant companion. As you shared your heartache & story of his loyalty to you it reminded me of when I fell & broke my ankle walking mine years ago and he seemed so frightened for me not leaving my side until help came. They are truly heaven sent, our angels. I miss my precious boy everyday & the thought of him passing there at vet's office tries to come in as I then grasp to our wonderful memories together instead and how happy we were. It's still very difficult. May your heart overflow with love greater than the pain. Your boy is running free on the other side of the rainbow bridge. Sending healing wishes. 💙🙏
I am so sorry about your dog passing. It will be a year for me on Christmas Eve and my heart still aches for him. I received such great and kind support from Susan’s channel here. It means so much.
“Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished.” Dean Koontz - A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog. I have a cat, I feel the same.
I have three cats at the present and feel that they are the most precious babies. Whether dog or cat these lovely additions to our lives bring us comfort and peace.
Such a beautiful quote...I have cats I dearly love but my 2 dogs died 2 yrs ago. I am now at a place where it’s time for a dog. We don’t deserve dogs, but to me they make my life worth living.
Hi from England. You have no idea how much joy I get from your videos No matter what the week has brought, your voice and your words uplift me. I hope you are uplifted knowing what a difference you make to so many people.
Little Poet, I'm 57 and you are my favorite youtuber! You really are an amazing soul and you have a way about you! You are, indeed, a little poet! You mean so much to my life!
I loved the fashion show. My house burnt down a few years back and I lost everything. I just don't want to shop anymore. When you spend a lifetime shopping and picking out special things and it all goes up in fire and smoke, I lost my desire. But you are making me feel maybe I should go shopping and pick out a few things, I think it is your attitude and enthusiasm!.
O Dear God , losing a pet is heartbreaking I cried for months over my Bubba a beautiful chocolate lab . I really believe my dogs will be in heaven with me.
I would love to have another doggo, however, my living situation is not conducive for it yet. So, I got myself a hairless guinea pig! She makes me laugh every day and is company, of sorts, for this lonely woman. She keeps me engaged with life
Deborah. Hi Susan missed you live. I'm going to check out pillow. I take a supplement for sleep and anxiety, you can get it on line iherb, any healthy food supply/store. GABA 750 mg caps one at night or it comes in 500 mg caps and use 2 a day. Sleepy time Tea tea for walmart also. I like your sharing program. We seen to be kindred spirits. I grew up north end of GR younger by lookout hill and the rest plainfield Cheshire area. Did you ever go to marry water park? Sliding on the hill in the winter? Or the choochoo grill for hamburgs.
There is a podcast called “Nothing much happens” that I listen to every night. Essentially it is bedtime stories for adults. The story teller has the MOST soothing voice and all her stories are “cozy”. She talks about, for example, a snow storm and looking out the window and making homemade soup and lighting a fire.. I have not yet made it through to the end of her stories. I always fall asleep before it is over. It works!!
We just rescued a jack Russell from our humane society, named him Roscoe. What a bundle of energy, oh my goodness!!! But he is a love and so comical. Also have a cat, Thurston, and our Chiweenie, Cooper! What a little family! So much love from them, and of course my hubby 🥰🥰 merry Christmas to everyone, God Bless
I never sleep in anything cute or fancy… Yes, I am single. You have motivated me to find some cute things to start sleeping in for myself. My dog is a ten pound WestiPoo. She will be two in February; she has brought me so much comfort during the year 2020.
You look so nice Susan. I finally got little lights, like you have in your home. First I didn't want to decorate at all, but I watch your videos every week and I loved your decoration and started to get all those little lamps. Thank you Susan. I wish you a very nice Adventtime. I have a very old little dog. She is 17 jears old and now gets me up every two hours at night. Sleeping became difficult. Lilly is almost blind, her hearing is bad and she is autistic. Still, I can not put her asleep. (sorry, I'm german and my spelling is not the best). So much, to not being able to sleep at night. Lot of love and a wonderful week for you, till next Saturday, Elke
I am in the midst of moving to a new apartment and I am determined to Susan-ize it especially if I can resume thrifting in 2021. Meanwhile, you give me vision and hope for which I am truly grateful. 🙏🏻😘🇨🇦
The situation that didn’t allow me to have a pet has changed. Now I feel like a little girl looking for a puppy to call my own. I know I’ll find one who needs me but I’ll need him more.
Please Check-Out the Animal Shelter's First. You would Be Saving a Precious LIFE, literally !!! After a matter of Day's, they are Put to Sleep, permanently. ☹️ You Will BE Blessed as well. 🙏 Animal's Put So Much Happiness and Joy, Into Your Home !!! 🐾🐾
It is so difficult to lose a beloved animal companion, especially right before the holidays. I lost my sweet Buddy last year, 5 days before Xmas. I was so devastated that I let the celebrations slip by. So I send my sincere condolences. I now have a new cat, Troubadour, first black cat for me - I rescued him, after he was rejected by two families. He is the sweetest boy, and he ‘sings his thanks’, literally, every day. All our fur friends will be there on the Rainbow bridge waiting. Take comfort in knowing that you were/are truly loved by them.
Hi Susan we have a rescue cat named Louie - he's fully grey, but I think he's a mixed breed. He's around 15 - 17 years old and a bit clumsy for a cat. It's not just age as he has always been clumsy - we've had him for about 8 years. He is VERY determined aka stubborn as a mule, when he wants something it has to be now - no matter what I'm doing at the time and will not be put off. Whether it's food or attention, he yells and makes his presence felt. He can be extremely affectionate or occasionally just grumpy, but we love him. I want to wish you the best of the season and hope you enjoy the holidays, even if you can't be with those you love. Thankfully Scotland has lifted restrictions enough that we can go to my mum's for xmas day, as I was worrying about her being alone. I'll be doing the cooking as normal, but just for less people than usual. x
We’ve had a schnauzer in our house for 40+ years.... our last girl Lizzie, who chose my husband as her favorite, died suddenly 2 weeks ago. It was shocking and heartbreaking... but for Lizzie we are happy it was a short illness... we still see her jumping on the boat, running like the wind, sleeping on the pillow above my sweetheart s pillow.... she was a great dog....
I'm so sorry about your sweet furry baby passing, that must have been a heartbreaking shock, even though you've been through other losses, still be super gentle with yourselves and each other ❤️💔🐾😭❤️ It is such a difficult and challenging time, I love that you are remembering the good times💞🐾
I have 3 rescue dogs...... My first one is Willie who is now 17. He is a Schnauzer mix and the love of my life.... He isn't doing well. I have had him for 16 years. It was him and I for 7 years before I got my second dog Wyatt... He is a shelter rescue. He is a little terrier mix. He looks a bit like Desi.... He is 9 and I have had him for 8 years.... Last one on board is Belle.... She is a Shitzu/Poodle mix. She is 8 and I've had her for 7 years. Lots of work but I love them all so much. They are my little family!
Hi Susan, 2020 has been a crazy year, but I still am grateful for every single moment. I recently adopted a rescue pup from Oklahoma and I live in California, I got lucky that my friend lives there and has a rescue and was able to bring the pup to me. Her name is Echo and has helped me stay busy training her etc.. instead of worrying and having anxiety about all the uncertainty about my job and daily events happening this year. She wakes up every morning ready to tackle the day jumping happy and playful and that makes me happy.
I loved our visit today! I also bought more pajama's and loungewear this year. Your memories are precious! I have two cats, a Siamese named Toby, and a silver tiger cat named Bella. I live alone, and they are my world!
You brought me to tears with your bicycle story. I could see how your sweet, young spirit was crushed when you got home late. You were so happy getting home on time according to your watch. Then you saw the look on your mom and grandpa’s face. Thankfully, your grandpa was understanding and believed you and realized your watch had stopped. But your heart was already broken. We never forget those hurtful times. But we can learn from them. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Most people, I believe are honest. And as Tim McGraw’s song says, “ALWAYS STAY HUMBLE AND KIND.”
Just love hanging out and shopping with you Friend... now where should we have Lunch?❤️ ps... remember the Good Old Days when we could let our little ones out riding their bikes alone at 8 o’clock at night?.... miss those days.
I had to have my Morgan put to sleep with stomach cancer. She was almost 15. I haven't been able to get another dog, but when the time is right, I'll get a rescue dog. I was caring for my mom for almost 3 years in her home so was unable to have a dog, but the time will be right and I'll find another. My Morgan was Chow and so much fun. I really miss her. I love how you switch your video around. Look forward to the next one always. Love the Jammie! Have a blessed week!!
I have always been a dog lover. I love all animals but dogs were always my passion and they still are. I was never attracted to cats, I like them but wound never dream of having one as a pet. They were cute from a distance. Five years ago after loosing my previous thirteen year old fox wire terrier Anakin (Annie) for short, I was devastated. One morning not long after I was awoken by my adults kids holder a tiny screaming kitty and asking me what to do. I knew nothing about cats, so he was taken to PetSmart where advised was given as to how care for him. He was four weeks all, he was filthy, spider webs all over him, riddle with fleas, and his tiny paws were burnt from the cement. Baby kitten formula was bought for him and he was feed immediately and taken to our vet for a check up. He was given flea treatment, later on we gave him a bath all fleas gone and feeling so clean he sleep the whole day. The rest of his test came out for ok and we started looking for a home for him. Today, his name is Boo and he holds my heart. He’s our beloved Prince. We still have two big dogs, who are loved and adored but Boo, is my shadow💕🐾
I live in a senior's apartment and have a little chihuahua/papillion mix named Lola. She doesn't know that she is a small dog with a big and fearless personality! She brightens my days and I love her to bits. Unconditional love in a small package, that's my Lola.
I have three dogs, Dexter, Earl & Scrappy. I picked out Dexter for myself. My daughter rescued Scrappy and wasn’t able to take care of him, so as you guessed, he’s now mine. Same with Earl. My son found him sitting under a tree while walking to class in college and couldn’t leave him & now he’s mine, too. They are the best! Doesn’t matter if I go to the mailbox or if I’m gone for a day or a week, they greet me the same way, with so much excitement and love!! They bring so much calm and joy to my life. Dogs have gotten me through so many chapters of my life. 💙💙💙
Greetings Susan! Thank you for another beautiful video. My cat Chauncey is my beloved furry friend. I don't know what I'd do without him. Love and blessings 🙏❤️
Yes. Even little events like your watch story, have an enormous impact on our lives and our souls. Thank you so much for sharing this, Susan. I started watching your videos a few months ago. UA-cam’s algorithm brought you to me when I wasn’t looking for you. The Universe knew my life would benefit greatly with you and your viewers comments in my life. I turned 60 in August. Your warm, loving, and intelligent aura have been a blessing. I have a lot of catching up to do. I’m working on watching all your videos!!! Lots of love to you and your beautiful wonderful little man, Desi❤️❤️
A very wise grandfather, believing in you and trusting you was the best gift he could give you. My mom was like this , she always told be how smart she thought I was and she knew I would make the best decisions, this actually made me make the right decisions because she believed in me.
My favorite pet is the sweetest chihuahua you ever met. Bless her heart, she is recovering from a major surgery on her leg right now and facing at least 6 weeks of recovery. We love our little “Ginger” so much.
So Beautiful ❤️ You, your home, Desi, your Christmas Tree. My sweet dog passed away this year, I loved her dearly. I have tried again and again to find a sweet dog, applied for cute rescue dogs because she was a Rescue and I Love her so much. There must be a reason, I am still searching, , waiting and nothing yet. Maybe next year my Puppy will meet me somehow. Thank you Susan, I always enjoy the connection on Saturday.
Beautiful video Susan, I’m such a sentimental, emotional person like you. Makes life harder but more appreciated. I wake up every morn. And thank God I’m still here. Memories are many. Time went so fast. And it’s going even faster. Pandemic has slowed the happy memories, sadly. I love all your pj’ and coats. Sophisticated taste. I’m definately ordering the Kitty ones. Sm budget and depressed. Your apt. And tree look beautiful. And you too. God bless, have a beautiful holiday. It’s going to be 1 like no other. We must be strong. ❤️😘🙏☹️
Another beautiful video Susan! I lost my JRT Katie last year. She was a rescue, left at the shelter first for having a short leg, considered "defective", and a second time for being animal aggressive. But she loved people and she was perfect to us. I called her my little old lady dog and she was a loyal companion. I miss her every day. I'm so happy you and Desi found each other, you're both very lucky. Merry Christmas! 🎄
My pet is a 11 years old boxer mix. He is a rescue dog from north Carolina my daughter adopted. She got an apartments, and she couldn't have him. He is my best friend now. Merry Christmas.
I absolutely love that story. My grandmother was like that. But she passed when I was 6 yrs old. I loved her so much. My childhood friend was a little black Westie looking dog named Sparky. I love your channel. I watch it over and over. You always make me smile and feel so much better. Your an angel, Susan. Thank you. ⚘
Thank you so very much! You are a beautiful woman inside and out. I'm 56 and after being dumped by my husband of 30 years for a younger woman, you have helped me so much. Two weeks ago, I started with the rosehip oil and retinol and the difference in my skin is incredible!
ALL THAT IS FANTASTIC!!! And the really good news is the improving never stops! You are just beautiful and I am so glad you are here!!!! xxoo Merry Christmas!!! xxoo Susan & Desi
Rocco my cat means so much to my husband and I.He is a very sensitive cat.He is fifteen going on five.He has a little look on his face letting you know how he feels about every thing and even when he is not pleased with you. And that is always not spending enough time with him. He has a better life than most - he is red and has a temper to match. Still we get a kick out of him. I was with a friend who was trying to find a home for him.He just climbed up my jean pant leg and screamed in my face and let me know he was coming home with me. Love our Rocco!
My favorite pet was our mini schnauzer(s) ... this video popped up in December 2022 and I so enjoyed it, Susan! Your grandfather and watch story blessed me and broke my heart at the same time! I love the pajamas! You are so beautiful! Jesus loves you! Merry Christmas!
Jack Daniels, one of my 3 small dogs, I love them all but Jack is special. He waits for me when my husband is taking all of them outside and he won't go out till I stop what I am doing and go too. He warms my heart!
I recently got a new kitten - a Siamese. She is such a joy, she makes me laugh at least once a day. What I love about her is that she lives with abandon. She's so curious, and is learning the world. My favorite moments are when she jumps and tackles her older brothers. She is 1/3 their size but she bowls them over. I know she's having the time of her life when she does it, too. 💕
OH Oralia! I love it..." She lives with reckless abandon" I want to live like that too and tackle everybody!!! So happy to see your beautiful face! I hope your Christmas is a good one....I hope maybe next year you and I can collab on something fabulous?!!!!! Love to you, Susan & Desi
You're a lucky lady to look so physically well and pretty at your age. You're lucky to have a sweet and be able to take care of such a sweet pet. You're lucky to have such a nice apartment and have the energy to keep it so nice. Stay healthy and don't allow yourself to be sad for even a moment.
I lost my most precious pet Thanksgiving night as she lay at my feet in her little bed. Her kidneys had failed her but her heart and love for me kept her here longer than they should have. She suffered but I could tell from her eyes she didn't want to leave me. I had already made the hard decision to let her go the next day and I think she knew I was struggling with that decision so she saved me from having to do it. She will live forever in my heart. She was my best friend.
Lost my Triscuit a little over a week ago. He had kidney failure too! It broke my heart to put him down, but he was really suffering. When He looked up at me as the dr gave shot, I thought I would die. It was the hardest thing I've had to do. I'm glad you were spared although it isn't any easier and the loss is just as hard. God bless you honey!
As always, Dezi is precious in his Christmas outfit. What a darling little boy he is. I know he gives you endless joy and company. We can tell how much he loves you, and you know, there’s almost nothing like the devotion, the pure devotion of a precious pet! I have four little rescue chihuahuas and they are so so so precious! We love them like our children, maybe even a little more! They’re certainly not as much trouble!! 🤣😏😜 We love our kiddos too!! We have Gracie, Lexi, Heidi, and Chrissie. Oh how lovely and sweet and apreciative they are that mommie and daddie chose them to come live here in our lovely, comfy home. They are loved, pampered and they really want for nothing. They all get dental once a year. They arent very happ about that but it sure keeps their little mouths healthy and thus, their hearts and the rest of them. We cherish our little girls just like you do your precious little Dezi boy! What would we do without our fur babies??
Hi Susan I connect so deeply with your beautiful soul. Your the bestfriend I'm still praying i meet. I am 54 yrs old and still not met a friend like you that I'd love to have in my life. You make my heart smile and my soul sparkle. I love to listen to your videos without fail every week. You make my week special. A bit of me time with my best mate😍 Lots of healing hugs from Susan from Hampshire u.kxxx
I have the joy and pleasure of being a furbaby Mom to Izzi. She is our 5 pound 6 ounce longhair Chihuahua and I love her so much. She follows me all over the house and loves belly rubs and hugs. She is a joy!!
I lost my beloved Cairn Terrier Scooby Thanksgiving day this year. He was 12 years and 5 mths. old. He was my everything. He got me through the death of my husband 10 years ago. Such a sweet and brave little dog. Myself and my neighbor and best friend were with him at the end. What a privilege it has been to have had him in my life. I still feel shattered but will remember the good times, and oh my there were so many.
Thank you so much for sharing your heart and soul with us. We have had so many pets over the years. Currently we have a brindled mastiff/German shepherd that we adopted from the Humane Society. She is such a happy dog, and she just adds so much joy into our life. We also have a tabby cat that showed up at our door many years ago. Our kitty has cancer, but she is currently doing okay. Knowing that we don't have much more time with her just makes us appreciate every day that we have with her.
Oh my favorite of all was my German Shorthaired Pointer, Billy. He was a rescue and was my faithful fur friend. He's been gone since 2012, and my heart still aches. Billy was more human than dog! The pain of losing such a dear champion is as raw now as it was all those years ago. Both my husband and I agree, I don't think we will ever have another dog, like our Billy Boy!
I love your new clothes! Yes, your pajamas look stylish enough to wear out! 😄 ..and your cape coat and shawl look great on you! I really like your Grampa! And the fact that he knew you were being truthful about your watch and that you didn't turn the time back! 💗 ..such a smart man to see the honesty in your heart!
Susan, I always look so forward to each of your videos. The cape coat is absolutely beautiful and oh so classy. I loved it. I have had some very precious pets who I had for a very long time. Two extraordinarily sweet gentle bassetts who passed away from cancer and a stroke. Those were difficult times and then I found a precious kitten Samantha who lived to be 14. After she passed away my heart was so broken from the loss of these three special and very loved parts of my family that I can't bring myself to get another pet. I feel my heart can't take it. Our pets can mean the world to us can't they?
We Raised "3" Precious Maltese, over the Year's, Each one at Different Time's, so I Know HOW you Feel, after Losing Them.☹️ Please, I Hope that you Re-Consider Not to Get Another. They Put So Much Joy & Happiness, Into Your Home. I think They Help us to also BE Healthier, in several way's, as well.The Shelter's are Full, and it would BE Saving a Precious LIFE, Literally. After a Few Day's, They are Put to Sleep Permanently. ☹️ Have a Good Christmas. ✳️🌹✳️
Yes I they have meant so much to our families lives for sure. I just wanted to mention that we are going through similar feelings, we don't know if we can take another heart break like that again, we have our cat Rama, whom we love dearly, but we are concerned about getting Covid and being really sick, or hospitalized or dying, or being put in a place where we couldn't have our cat and hes feral and temperamental and who would understand and he will haul off and hit or bite, we don't want him abused. We also have always had dogs and our last furry baby doggie passed away a little over a year ago and we have flashbacks and a kind of ptsd about his dying and death poorly handled by the Dr.. we have so many emotions and we, as I said, don't know if we could handle another passing. Thank you sooooo much for your comment, be gentle with yourself, as we speak I am sending you so much love💞💝
@@kathleenswenning9915 please don’t anticipate getting sick. Keep your beloved kitty and, please don’t give him away because you might get sick. What if you never get sick and wonder what might have happened to the kitty. He has a loving home right now, you know him, have patience with him. Please don’t do it. God Bless
I can so relate. I lost my beloved rescue black lab mix Merle to Lymphoma in June. Rarely a day goes by that my husband or I or both of us don’t cry. He was only 10. But I raised him from a tiny little puppy and I’ve never had children or even any brothers or sisters. I never saw my father after I was 5 and my mother died when I was 30. So Merle was my baby. His sister, our black rescue cat Pepper, really misses him too. Christmas without Merle is unimaginable. Please give Dezi a hug for me❤️. Susan, your story about getting home late- I was raised by my mother and Grandfather. That man was such a blessing!
Thank you for all your stories when you were growing up. The green stamps .... brought back a memory I had totally forgotten about. I remembered my mother saving those stamps and my sister and I would help her put them in her book. Cant remember what she was saving for but oh my, what a memory. I must tell my daughter about the green stamps. I have 2 dogs, my best friends, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Mario and Luigi, love them so much, they make me happy everyday. Merry Christmas to you and Desi!
I have 2 rescue siamese cats. My granddaughters tamed a neighborhood homeless kitten. She’s the sweetest baby. Last week, we had her spayed, given her first set of shots, etc. She will be a Christmas surprise for our granddaughters. They think she’s going to be mine & my husband’s cat. She was very easy to litter box train😃 I bought her a pink collar, ID tag, food & water bowls, cat toys. I plan to wrap it all up & when our granddaughters open the package, they will find out she is their cat. I can’t wait to see their faces. They LOVE this cat!
Your sweetest Desi is the most loved pooch by you that i ever have seen ,you can see it in his beautiful eyes - how content he is- lucky baby-- please show him more , and always.
My dog Bougie almost seems like she was once a human, she has human eyes and a good spirit! When I cry she'll jump up beside me and lick my hand and lay in my lap. Once I went to sleep and I couldn't wake myself up, she jumped on the bed and kept nodging me to wake up! She's a smart girl and I love her!!! I pray you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year🥰
Getting a new Australian Shepherd puppy tomorrow. I’m in central Indiana and work nights. When I get off work in the morning we are making the five hour drive to Michigan to pick him up. We are beyond excited! We have been waiting for him for 9 long weeks!
This was comfy, fun and enlightening. I’m having a rough week. Some things I am trying to figure out the root source. I have learned to always ask the question; What am I really feeling? And when I can see a glimpse of what it is.. I am learning to cradle that emotion like a baby. Loving kindness and speech, to myself helps. Relationships are still proving to be the schoolroom for me. So, My new homework this next week is to decrease the amount of attachment I am placing on the last couple years. The word “ vulnerability” and its meaning is feeling much to heavy anymore. So I am asking in my prayers to be new..... and Fresh, like a flower, and stable like the mountain. Still like the water and peaceful like space and To trust a little more. This loving speech my friends is feeling light and bright and beautiful. Many times I reach out and hold your hand Susan while you are speaking. Here is mine, for anyone who needs it too. A new pillow and some jammies sound yummy. I have several ponchos and I love them so much. My little Chuck, as you know passed 6 weeks ago. I have cried so much as I miss his company. This is the first time in 30 years without a pet in my life. For now.... I am kissing all the neighbors fur babies when I see them. I want to toast again all the great women here🌹and all the stories. We share so much together.
Dear Susan, thank you for bringing so much joy to my life. You have become a friend to me and I look forward to watching your Vlogs. All my dear friends and family have passed away and now the only dear friend I have left is in the hospital recovery from a massive stroke who lives in another state. I can’t understand why we always have to lose the people who love us. Thank you for sharing
I’m going to watch your show at least a couple more times this week. Love your sleep suggestions, the shopping, the piano music, the comments, the clothes. All so soothing. Hugs.
Oh Gail my heart goes out to you dear! The loss of a pet is one of the most devastating experiences in life! Just gutting! I know so well that empty, desperate feeling! I’m so very very sorry! 😞
Oh my goodness Desi looks adorable with his Christmas hat! My Fritzi, a miniature white schnauzer brings so much joy and love in my life, as I live alone, too. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
We don’t have a pet anymore we had Harley “Harl’s” He was a mutt, my brother said he was the smartest dog ever! ( he had tricks to do every Xmas brunch) my husband won’t have another dog he said he just can’t take it when they die.Someday we will have one. We had to have him put to sleep he had seizures and they took a toll. My husband is a woodworker he built him a gorgeous solid cherry wood casket ,beautiful! Had handles we piled all his fleece blankets and toys in it. And my husband and I and our 2 boys grown then took him to my brother in laws land and buried him.The dog casket my sister said it looked like a child’s casket. It was Stunningly beautiful. I told my husband you could build and sale pet caskets and cremation boxes he said I don’t want to I’m Retired! 😆 lol Ps the night before we bought him a kids meal cheese burger with bacon! with a frosty and my son fed him the whole damn meal! Sorry this is so long.......... Take care. Susan......... I don’t ever wear pj’s just nightgowns as hard as I try I may need to try again.

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!! Love from me and Desi You are just beautiful Sue....homelss animals touch my heart and I always think how they need love so badly...they are so pure...xxoo
Love the clothes and pajamas you found. I may have to go get some like them. Also. That pillow is nice. I have arthritis and I think it might help me. Your story about you grandfather is very touching and sweet.💕💕. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats now. I don’t know what I was thinking! Anyway, my two Chiwennie’s are my favorites although my Great Pyrenees is so sweet. So I have more than one favorite pet now. They keep me company and being joy to my life. PS... Worry changes nothing. Trust the Lord instead! 💕💕💕
My buddy, Midas, is a big belly, gold tabby. Named after one of the cats on my grandparents' farm when my mom was growing up. There are numerous cat stories & Midas had some of the funniest. My Midas is often by my side (which is why I end my message to with my usual sign off) and sleeps at my feet (with his pal, Manny - my husband's black manx). He has the sweetest personality. I can't imagine life without a pet. Cats are easiest for us. Blessings to you and Desi from Midas and me!
My little favorite buddy is a cocker spaniel named Frankie He's black and white and I've had him when he was 8 weeks old and he's almost 2 years old he has brought so much love 💕 and Joy! Thank you so much for your videos! God bless!
I lost my favorite pet two days ago. My Walter was a greyhound rescue. A big but gentle soul. Timid and always afraid of others I remember one time I fell down my concrete steps and lay unconscious. He stood with me until the ambulance came. And even though he was terrified of strangers, he wouldn’t leave me. My heart is broken
I am so sorry Gail you lost your Walter and oh how he loved you to guard over you when you had fallen. I remember when my Cooper died and nothing could console me...for some reason, I wrote down a list of all the lessons Cooper had taught me....kindness...unconditional love and a sense of playfulness....a life without malice or anger and a new appreciation for eating peanut butter straight out of the jar...and for some reason, I felt better...then I looked at myself crying and I realized, Coper hated it when I cried...he would leave the room! Our dogs loved us and they wanted us to be happy....so it helped me get back on my feet...I wanted to do what my Coops wanted me to do.....my love to you and yours and God Bless Walter, may he rest in peace. xxoo Susan & Dez
I am so sorry for your loss Gail. I am tearing up as I’m writing this. My current dog is that for me. She is the best friend I have ever had and I mean EVER. She is with me thru the good and bad times and any adventure I might have. I cry with her and vent with her and dance with her and laugh with her. She is everything. She knows when I’m having a bad day health wise before I am willing to admit it. She is my BEST friend. She is always there for me. There is no way I could love her more She is having trouble walking and looks a little off lately and I am taking her to an orthopaedic specialist soon. I am praying it isn’t too serious. I absolutely cannot stand the thought of losing her. She is my Walter. And we only get one Walter in life. We have a lot of pets if we are lucky but not like our Walter. I am so sorry Gail. Please know that I am praying for you and I am giving you a big warm virtual hug right now. Your heart will heal of course and you will have all of your lovely memories like the one you shared. Maybe even another companion? It won’t be Walter but it might make you feel a little less sad. Take care of yourself ok? Stay healthy happy and safe 😊❤️🙏🏻
I'm so sorry your heart is broken. They just never live long enough. I am sure he is now your protector from another realm and if you sit real still you should be able to feel his love.
I'm so very sorry Gail. My deepest condolences. My world came crashing down when Gibbs, my retired racing greyhound, died this past February. He was my constant companion. As you shared your heartache & story of his loyalty to you it reminded me of when I fell & broke my ankle walking mine years ago and he seemed so frightened for me not leaving my side until help came. They are truly heaven sent, our angels. I miss my precious boy everyday & the thought of him passing there at vet's office tries to come in as I then grasp to our wonderful memories together instead and how happy we were. It's still very difficult. May your heart overflow with love greater than the pain. Your boy is running free on the other side of the rainbow bridge. Sending healing wishes. 💙🙏
I am so sorry about your dog passing. It will be a year for me on Christmas Eve and my heart still aches for him. I received such great and kind support from Susan’s channel here. It means so much.

I have a cat, I feel the same.
I have three cats at the present and feel that they are the most precious babies. Whether dog or cat these lovely additions to our lives bring us comfort and peace.
Such a beautiful quote...I have cats I dearly love but my 2 dogs died 2 yrs ago. I am now at a place where it’s time for a dog. We don’t deserve dogs, but to me they make my life worth living.
Hi from England. You have no idea how much joy I get from your videos No matter what the week has brought, your voice and your words uplift me. I hope you are uplifted knowing what a difference you make to so many people.
Little Poet, I'm 57 and you are my favorite youtuber! You really are an amazing soul and you have a way about you! You are, indeed, a little poet! You mean so much to my life!
MINE TOO ! ! !
Mine too.
Growing up we never had a pet. Now as an adult I can’t imagine my life without my pets.
I loved the fashion show. My house burnt down a few years back and I lost everything. I just don't want to shop anymore. When you spend a lifetime shopping and picking out special things and it all goes up in fire and smoke, I lost my desire. But you are making me feel maybe I should go shopping and pick out a few things, I think it is your attitude and enthusiasm!.
My love to you x
O Dear God , losing a pet is heartbreaking I cried for months over my Bubba a beautiful chocolate lab . I really believe my dogs will be in heaven with me.
Yes, they will.
I believe that too. They give us so much love and we love them so much in return.
Our pets will absolutely be in heaven with us it is an absolute certainty!
Yes they will, I so believe in that.❤️🎄🙏🏻
I would love to have another doggo, however, my living situation is not conducive for it yet. So, I got myself a hairless guinea pig! She makes me laugh every day and is company, of sorts, for this lonely woman. She keeps me engaged with life
Deborah. Hi Susan missed you live. I'm going to check out pillow. I take a supplement for sleep and anxiety, you can get it on line iherb, any healthy food supply/store. GABA 750 mg caps one at night or it comes in 500 mg caps and use 2 a day. Sleepy time Tea tea for walmart also. I like your sharing program. We seen to be kindred spirits. I grew up north end of GR younger by lookout hill and the rest plainfield Cheshire area. Did you ever go to marry water park? Sliding on the hill in the winter? Or the choochoo grill for hamburgs.
There is a podcast called “Nothing much happens” that I listen to every night. Essentially it is bedtime stories for adults. The story teller has the MOST soothing voice and all her stories are “cozy”. She talks about, for example, a snow storm and looking out the window and making homemade soup and lighting a fire.. I have not yet made it through to the end of her stories. I always fall asleep before it is over. It works!!
Oh, I need to check this out, thanks!
@Kelly Goodwin you will love it, Kelly! I hope you do!
@@melrose795 I think you will love it! 😊
What an excellent suggestion! Thanks!
@@dancingrabbit5842 😊
I have two favourites, my little Jack Russel and my black and white cat, my husband is nice too 😉
Hi littl Poet , much greatings from Germany, I like your Videos so much wehre are you living? I am here in Germany in a little town near Heidelberg
Have a chunky kitty and a leggy doggie.
We just rescued a jack Russell from our humane society, named him Roscoe. What a bundle of energy, oh my goodness!!! But he is a love and so comical. Also have a cat, Thurston, and our Chiweenie, Cooper! What a little family! So much love from them, and of course my hubby 🥰🥰 merry Christmas to everyone, God Bless
I never sleep in anything cute or fancy… Yes, I am single. You have motivated me to find some cute things to start sleeping in for myself. My dog is a ten pound WestiPoo. She will be two in February; she has brought me so much comfort during the year 2020.
You look so nice Susan. I finally got little lights, like you have in your home. First I didn't want to decorate at all, but I watch your videos every week and I loved your decoration and started to get all those little lamps. Thank you Susan. I wish you a very nice Adventtime.
I have a very old little dog. She is 17 jears old and now gets me up every two hours at night. Sleeping became difficult. Lilly is almost blind, her hearing is bad and she is autistic. Still, I can not put her asleep. (sorry, I'm german and my spelling is not the best). So much, to not being able to sleep at night.
Lot of love and a wonderful week for you, till next Saturday, Elke
God remembers who was kind to animals.
I got some lights as well inspired by Susan!
I am in the midst of moving to a new apartment and I am determined to Susan-ize it especially if I can resume thrifting in 2021. Meanwhile, you give me vision and hope for which I am truly grateful. 🙏🏻😘🇨🇦
I hear you am I..I just love Susan’s home & sweet Desi!! 😘🇦🇺😘
I am Susanizing my bedroom.
I like your tree and the fact that like me who is alone you still have a big tree!!
You are a precious soul❤️
Capes and ponchos have been my signature style for years. I love them. Enjoyed seeing yours and your new pajamas. Fun!
Desi looks so cute in his Christmas hat. 🌺
Sitting here beside me is my little yorkie, got him when he was 7 months old,he's 13 now.
My yorky is teddy We adopted him 3yrs ago hes older but so fun
My Wonderful Dachshund Cooper! He Has My Heart!!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
We have a very cute and loving Chihuahua called Honey, she’s territorial and protective, she may be tiny, but she believes she’s big! My loyal friend
My 6 month old Chi is 4 lbs, he is a fireball, loves the snow, and has a big personality. Love Chihuahuas ❤❤❤
Desi's lil face at 1:54 ♡ He knows he's loved. You're two sweet souls who appreciate and deserve each other. It was meant to be 💛
I can't BELIEVE nobody wanted to adopt Desi! That little face, especially his eyes, stole my ❤
I lost my beagle Jimmy last year. Miss him so much. Love seeing you and Desi. Thank you.
I am so sorry you lost your Jimmy :(
The situation that didn’t allow me to have a pet has changed. Now I feel like a little girl looking for a puppy to call my own. I know I’ll find one who needs me but I’ll need him more.
Good gracious find yourself a Desi!
Yes

It is so difficult to lose a beloved animal companion, especially right before the holidays. I lost my sweet Buddy last year, 5 days before Xmas. I was so devastated that I let the celebrations slip by. So I send my sincere condolences. I now have a new cat, Troubadour, first black cat for me - I rescued him, after he was rejected by two families. He is the sweetest boy, and he ‘sings his thanks’, literally, every day. All our fur friends will be there on the Rainbow bridge waiting. Take comfort in knowing that you were/are truly loved by them.
Hi Susan we have a rescue cat named Louie - he's fully grey, but I think he's a mixed breed. He's around 15 - 17 years old and a bit clumsy for a cat. It's not just age as he has always been clumsy - we've had him for about 8 years. He is VERY determined aka stubborn as a mule, when he wants something it has to be now - no matter what I'm doing at the time and will not be put off. Whether it's food or attention, he yells and makes his presence felt. He can be extremely affectionate or occasionally just grumpy, but we love him.
I want to wish you the best of the season and hope you enjoy the holidays, even if you can't be with those you love. Thankfully Scotland has lifted restrictions enough that we can go to my mum's for xmas day, as I was worrying about her being alone. I'll be doing the cooking as normal, but just for less people than usual. x
My cat is named Motown the Mocat Mahoney...a feral cat my daughter couldn’t keep and gave to me to care for. She’s a trip.
We’ve had a schnauzer in our house for 40+ years.... our last girl Lizzie, who chose my husband as her favorite, died suddenly 2 weeks ago. It was shocking and heartbreaking... but for Lizzie we are happy it was a short illness... we still see her jumping on the boat, running like the wind, sleeping on the pillow above my sweetheart s pillow.... she was a great dog....
I'm so sorry about your sweet furry baby passing, that must have been a heartbreaking shock, even though you've been through other losses, still be super gentle with yourselves and each other ❤️💔🐾😭❤️ It is such a difficult and challenging time, I love that you are remembering the good times💞🐾
I have 3 rescue dogs...... My first one is Willie who is now 17. He is a Schnauzer mix and the love of my life.... He isn't doing well. I have had him for 16 years. It was him and I for 7 years before I got my second dog Wyatt... He is a shelter rescue. He is a little terrier mix. He looks a bit like Desi.... He is 9 and I have had him for 8 years.... Last one on board is Belle.... She is a Shitzu/Poodle mix. She is 8 and I've had her for 7 years. Lots of work but I love them all so much. They are my little family!
God helped me find your channel. Thanking God for both of you. 🙏❤😇 You've given me a new sense of hope.
Yes, BLESSED to Have
Susan IN Our Live's ! ! !
Hi Susan, 2020 has been a crazy year, but I still am grateful for every single moment. I recently adopted a rescue pup from Oklahoma and I live in California, I got lucky that my friend lives there and has a rescue and was able to bring the pup to me. Her name is Echo and has helped me stay busy training her etc.. instead of worrying and having anxiety about all the uncertainty about my job and daily events happening this year. She wakes up every morning ready to tackle the day jumping happy and playful and that makes me happy.
Crossing your arms and tapping lightly is a technique I learned in therapy for self soothing...
I loved our visit today! I also bought more pajama's and loungewear this year. Your memories are precious! I have two cats, a Siamese named Toby, and a silver tiger cat named Bella. I live alone, and they are my world!
You brought me to tears with your bicycle story. I could see how your sweet, young spirit was crushed when you got home late. You were so happy getting home on time according to your watch. Then you saw the look on your mom and grandpa’s face. Thankfully, your grandpa was understanding and believed you and realized your watch had stopped. But your heart was already broken. We never forget those hurtful times. But we can learn from them. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Most people, I believe are honest. And as Tim McGraw’s song says, “ALWAYS STAY HUMBLE AND KIND.”
Hi,
All of your outfits look pretty on you!
Wonderful memories!
Have a great week! Thank you for the visit!
I look forward to your beautiful video's.
U and Desi are one-of-a-kind. God bless.
Just love hanging out and shopping with you Friend... now where should we have Lunch?❤️ ps... remember the Good Old Days when we could let our little ones out riding their bikes alone at 8 o’clock at night?.... miss those days.
I had to have my Morgan put to sleep with stomach cancer. She was almost 15. I haven't been able to get another dog, but when the time is right, I'll get a rescue dog. I was caring for my mom for almost 3 years in her home so was unable to have a dog, but the time will be right and I'll find another. My Morgan was Chow and so much fun. I really miss her. I love how you switch your video around. Look forward to the next one always. Love the Jammie! Have a blessed week!!
Giving a rescue dog a chance to live and thrive is the greatest honor you give to your Morgan. Good for you!
@@oliviaholland6970 thank you.
I have always been a dog lover. I love all animals but dogs were always my passion and they still are. I was never attracted to cats, I like them but wound never dream of having one as a pet. They were cute from a distance. Five years ago after loosing my previous thirteen year old fox wire terrier Anakin (Annie) for short, I was devastated. One morning not long after I was awoken by my adults kids holder a tiny screaming kitty and asking me what to do. I knew nothing about cats, so he was taken to PetSmart where advised was given as to how care for him. He was four weeks all, he was filthy, spider webs all over him, riddle with fleas, and his tiny paws were burnt from the cement. Baby kitten formula was bought for him and he was feed immediately and taken to our vet for a check up. He was given flea treatment, later on we gave him a bath all fleas gone and feeling so clean he sleep the whole day. The rest of his test came out for ok and we started looking for a home for him. Today, his name is Boo and he holds my heart. He’s our beloved Prince. We still have two big dogs, who are loved and adored but Boo, is my shadow💕🐾
I live in a senior's apartment and have a little chihuahua/papillion mix named Lola.
She doesn't know that she is a small dog with a big and fearless personality! She brightens my days and I love her to bits. Unconditional love in a small package, that's my Lola.
I get so relaxed listening to ur soothing voice and hearing your kind words , that I could fall asleep 💤 😴
So do I. You express the effect of her videos well.
I have three dogs, Dexter, Earl & Scrappy. I picked out Dexter for myself. My daughter rescued Scrappy and wasn’t able to take care of him, so as you guessed, he’s now mine. Same with Earl. My son found him sitting under a tree while walking to class in college and couldn’t leave him & now he’s mine, too. They are the best! Doesn’t matter if I go to the mailbox or if I’m gone for a day or a week, they greet me the same way, with so much excitement and love!! They bring so much calm and joy to my life. Dogs have gotten me through so many chapters of my life. 💙💙💙
Greetings Susan! Thank you for another beautiful video. My cat Chauncey is my beloved furry friend. I don't know what I'd do without him. Love and blessings 🙏❤️
I have my mom's cat, Ronnie. My mom died 2 yrs ago of end stage dementia. I miss her so much, but this little cat brings me such comfort.
Yes. Even little events like your watch story, have an enormous impact on our lives and our souls. Thank you so much for sharing this, Susan. I started watching your videos a few months ago. UA-cam’s algorithm brought you to me when I wasn’t looking for you. The Universe knew my life would benefit greatly with you and your viewers comments in my life. I turned 60 in August. Your warm, loving, and intelligent aura have been a blessing. I have a lot of catching up to do. I’m working on watching all your videos!!!
Lots of love to you and your beautiful wonderful little man, Desi❤️❤️
A very wise grandfather, believing in you and trusting you was the best gift he could give you. My mom was like this , she always told be how smart she thought I was and she knew I would make the best decisions, this actually made me make the right decisions because she believed in me.
My favorite pet is the sweetest chihuahua you ever met. Bless her heart, she is recovering from a major surgery on her leg right now and facing at least 6 weeks of recovery. We love our little “Ginger” so much.
So Beautiful ❤️ You, your home, Desi, your Christmas Tree. My sweet dog passed away this year, I loved her dearly. I have tried again and again to find a sweet dog, applied for cute rescue dogs because she was a Rescue and I Love her so much. There must be a reason, I am still searching, , waiting and nothing yet. Maybe next year my Puppy will meet me somehow. Thank you Susan, I always enjoy the connection on Saturday.
Beautiful video Susan, I’m such a sentimental, emotional person like you. Makes life harder but more appreciated. I wake up every morn. And thank God I’m still here. Memories are many. Time went so fast. And it’s going even faster. Pandemic has slowed the happy memories, sadly. I love all your pj’ and coats. Sophisticated taste. I’m definately ordering the Kitty ones. Sm budget and depressed. Your apt. And tree look beautiful. And you too. God bless, have a beautiful holiday. It’s going to be 1 like no other. We must be strong. ❤️😘🙏☹️
Please, just Think Positive and Have Faith. 🙏 When TRUMP IS Re-Elected, Thing's WILL Start Looking-UP, In "2021," I Promise You ! ! !
Another beautiful video Susan! I lost my JRT Katie last year. She was a rescue, left at the shelter first for having a short leg, considered "defective", and a second time for being animal aggressive. But she loved people and she was perfect to us. I called her my little old lady dog and she was a loyal companion. I miss her every day. I'm so happy you and Desi found each other, you're both very lucky. Merry Christmas! 🎄
My pet is a 11 years old boxer mix. He is a rescue dog from north Carolina my daughter adopted. She got an apartments, and she couldn't have him. He is my best friend now. Merry Christmas.
I absolutely love that story. My grandmother was like that. But she passed when I was 6 yrs old. I loved her so much. My childhood friend was a little black Westie looking dog named Sparky. I love your channel. I watch it over and over. You always make me smile and feel so much better. Your an angel, Susan. Thank you. ⚘
Thank you so very much! You are a beautiful woman inside and out. I'm 56 and after being dumped by my husband of 30 years for a younger woman, you have helped me so much. Two weeks ago, I started with the rosehip oil and retinol and the difference in my skin is incredible!
ALL THAT IS FANTASTIC!!! And the really good news is the improving never stops! You are just beautiful and I am so glad you are here!!!! xxoo Merry Christmas!!! xxoo Susan & Desi
Rocco my cat means so much to my husband and I.He is a very sensitive cat.He is fifteen going on five.He has a little look on his face letting you know how he feels about every thing and even when he is not pleased with you. And that is always not spending enough time with him. He has a better life than most - he is red and has a temper to match. Still we get a kick out of him. I was with a friend who was trying to find a home for him.He just climbed up my jean pant leg and screamed in my face and let me know he was coming home with me. Love our Rocco!
The poncho and Cape coat are gorgeous and very flattering!
I have four cats and they are all my favorites. They all have such distinct personalities.
My favorite pet was our mini schnauzer(s) ... this video popped up in December 2022 and I so enjoyed it, Susan! Your grandfather and watch story blessed me and broke my heart at the same time! I love the pajamas! You are so beautiful! Jesus loves you! Merry Christmas!
You are so precious I love everything about your videos I wish you would post one every day!!!!! Godbless you😘❤️
SO DO I ! ! !
We so appreciate your piano player. He plays with great feeling,
Jack Daniels, one of my 3 small dogs, I love them all but Jack is special. He waits for me when my husband is taking all of them outside and he won't go out till I stop what I am doing and go too. He warms my heart!
I recently got a new kitten - a Siamese. She is such a joy, she makes me laugh at least once a day. What I love about her is that she lives with abandon. She's so curious, and is learning the world. My favorite moments are when she jumps and tackles her older brothers. She is 1/3 their size but she bowls them over. I know she's having the time of her life when she does it, too. 💕
OH Oralia! I love it..." She lives with reckless abandon" I want to live like that too and tackle everybody!!! So happy to see your beautiful face! I hope your Christmas is a good one....I hope maybe next year you and I can collab on something fabulous?!!!!! Love to you, Susan & Desi
@@LittlePoet I would be honored to collaborate! 😃 We’ll chat more once the holidays are done. 😉 Hugs to you and Desi! 💕💕💕
You're a lucky lady to look so physically well and pretty at your age. You're lucky to have a sweet and be able to take care of such a sweet pet. You're lucky to have such a nice apartment and have the energy to keep it so nice. Stay healthy and don't allow yourself to be sad for even a moment.
I just love your stories and your soft voice and how you love yourself ❤️you are a beautiful women .
I lost my most precious pet Thanksgiving night as she lay at my feet in her little bed. Her kidneys had failed her but her heart and love for me kept her here longer than they should have. She suffered but I could tell from her eyes she didn't want to leave me. I had already made the hard decision to let her go the next day and I think she knew I was struggling with that decision so she saved me from having to do it. She will live forever in my heart. She was my best friend.
GOD KNEW. Bless You.🌹
@@kikit6846 He sure did!! Thank you!
So sorry thats so tough.
Lost my Triscuit a little over a week ago. He had kidney failure too! It broke my heart to put him down, but he was really suffering. When He looked up at me as the dr gave shot, I thought I would die. It was the hardest thing I've had to do. I'm glad you were spared although it isn't any easier and the loss is just as hard. God bless you honey!
@@snuggleb100 I'm so sorry for your loss and your pain. They leave such a huge hole in our hearts. Praying for you!!
As always, Dezi is precious in his Christmas outfit. What a darling little boy he is. I know he gives you endless joy and company. We can tell how much he loves you, and you know, there’s almost nothing like the devotion, the pure devotion of a precious pet! I have four little rescue chihuahuas and they are so so so precious! We love them like our children, maybe even a little more! They’re certainly not as much trouble!! 🤣😏😜 We love our kiddos too!!
We have Gracie, Lexi, Heidi, and Chrissie. Oh how lovely and sweet and apreciative they are that mommie and daddie chose them to come live here in our lovely, comfy home. They are loved, pampered and they really want for nothing. They all get dental once a year. They arent very happ about that but it sure keeps their little mouths healthy and thus, their hearts and the rest of them. We cherish our little girls just like you do your precious little Dezi boy! What would we do without our fur babies??
Hi Susan I connect so deeply with your beautiful soul. Your the bestfriend I'm still praying i meet. I am 54 yrs old and still not met a friend like you that I'd love to have in my life.
You make my heart smile and my soul sparkle. I love to listen to your videos without fail every week. You make my week special. A bit of me time with my best mate😍
Lots of healing hugs from Susan from Hampshire u.kxxx
Desi is ADORABLE!!! I love to see dogs being loved and spoiled by their owners. 💕
I have the joy and pleasure of being a furbaby Mom to Izzi. She is our 5 pound 6 ounce longhair Chihuahua and I love her so much. She follows me all over the house and loves belly rubs and hugs. She is a joy!!
I lost my beloved Cairn Terrier Scooby Thanksgiving day this year. He was 12 years and 5 mths. old. He was my everything. He got me through the death of my husband 10 years ago. Such a sweet and brave little dog. Myself and my neighbor and best friend were with him at the end. What a privilege it has been to have had him in my life. I still feel shattered but will remember the good times, and oh my there were so many.
Thank you so much for sharing your heart and soul with us. We have had so many pets over the years. Currently we have a brindled mastiff/German shepherd that we adopted from the Humane Society. She is such a happy dog, and she just adds so much joy into our life. We also have a tabby cat that showed up at our door many years ago. Our kitty has cancer, but she is currently doing okay. Knowing that we don't have much more time with her just makes us appreciate every day that we have with her.
The jewelry on the poncho was very cool. Loved the grandpa watch story.
garlic is great for inflamation too!! I have taken it for 15 years and during stress I take a little more. I found Shaklee garlic has the least odor
They have some with No
Odor, I've Heard. ? ? ?
Oh my favorite of all was my German Shorthaired Pointer, Billy. He was a rescue and was my faithful fur friend. He's been gone since 2012, and my heart still aches. Billy was more human than dog! The pain of losing such a dear champion is as raw now as it was all those years ago. Both my husband and I agree, I don't think we will ever have another dog, like our Billy Boy!
I love your new clothes! Yes, your pajamas look stylish enough to wear out! 😄 ..and your cape coat and shawl look great on you! I really like your Grampa! And the fact that he knew you were being truthful about your watch and that you didn't turn the time back! 💗 ..such a smart man to see the honesty in your heart!
Thank you so much!
Susan, I always look so forward to each of your videos. The cape coat is absolutely beautiful and oh so classy. I loved it. I have had some very precious pets who I had for a very long time. Two extraordinarily sweet gentle bassetts who passed away from cancer and a stroke. Those were difficult times and then I found a precious kitten Samantha who lived to be 14. After she passed away my heart was so broken from the loss of these three special and very loved parts of my family that I can't bring myself to get another pet. I feel my heart can't take it. Our pets can mean the world to us can't they?
We Raised "3" Precious Maltese, over the Year's, Each one at Different Time's, so I Know HOW you Feel, after Losing Them.☹️ Please, I Hope that you Re-Consider Not to Get Another. They Put So Much Joy & Happiness, Into Your Home. I think They Help us to also BE Healthier, in several way's, as well.The Shelter's are Full, and it would BE Saving a Precious LIFE, Literally. After a Few Day's, They are Put to Sleep Permanently. ☹️ Have a Good Christmas. ✳️🌹✳️
Yes I they have meant so much to our families lives for sure. I just wanted to mention that we are going through similar feelings, we don't know if we can take another heart break like that again, we have our cat Rama, whom we love dearly, but we are concerned about getting Covid and being really sick, or hospitalized or dying, or being put in a place where we couldn't have our cat and hes feral and temperamental and who would understand and he will haul off and hit or bite, we don't want him abused. We also have always had dogs and our last furry baby doggie passed away a little over a year ago and we have flashbacks and a kind of ptsd about his dying and death poorly handled by the Dr.. we have so many emotions and we, as I said, don't know if we could handle another passing. Thank you sooooo much for your comment, be gentle with yourself, as we speak I am sending you so much love💞💝
@@kathleenswenning9915 please don’t anticipate getting sick. Keep your beloved kitty and, please don’t give him away because you might get sick. What if you never get sick and wonder what might have happened to the kitty. He has a loving home right now, you know him, have patience with him. Please don’t do it. God Bless
I can so relate. I lost my beloved rescue black lab mix Merle to Lymphoma in June. Rarely a day goes by that my husband or I or both of us don’t cry. He was only 10. But I raised him from a tiny little puppy and I’ve never had children or even any brothers or sisters. I never saw my father after I was 5 and my mother died when I was 30. So Merle was my baby. His sister, our black rescue cat Pepper, really misses him too. Christmas without Merle is unimaginable. Please give Dezi a hug for me❤️. Susan, your story about getting home late- I was raised by my mother and Grandfather. That man was such a blessing!
Thank you for all your stories when you were growing up. The green stamps .... brought back a memory I had totally forgotten about. I remembered my mother saving those stamps and my sister and I would help her put them in her book. Cant remember what she was saving for but oh my, what a memory. I must tell my daughter about the green stamps. I have 2 dogs, my best friends, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Mario and Luigi, love them so much, they make me happy everyday. Merry Christmas to you and Desi!
A very merry Christmas to you and yours...thank you so much for being here! Love from me and Desi!
I have 2 rescue siamese cats. My granddaughters tamed a neighborhood homeless kitten. She’s the sweetest baby. Last week, we had her spayed, given her first set of shots, etc. She will be a Christmas surprise for our granddaughters. They think she’s going to be mine & my husband’s cat. She was very easy to litter box train😃 I bought her a pink collar, ID tag, food & water bowls, cat toys. I plan to wrap it all up & when our granddaughters open the package, they will find out she is their cat. I can’t wait to see their faces. They LOVE this cat!
Merry Christmas 🎄
Your sweetest Desi is the most loved pooch by you that i ever have seen ,you can see it in his beautiful eyes - how content he is- lucky baby-- please show him more , and always.
My dog Bougie almost seems like she was once a human, she has human eyes and a good spirit! When I cry she'll jump up beside me and lick my hand and lay in my lap. Once I went to sleep and I couldn't wake myself up, she jumped on the bed and kept nodging me to wake up! She's a smart girl and I love her!!! I pray you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year🥰
I love your purchases! I love your taste!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and week!
You seem so happy in your apartment... I love it! Totally different from my modern vibe.
Your neck and chest skin are just glowing. Merry Christmas!🎄🎁
Getting a new Australian Shepherd puppy tomorrow. I’m in central Indiana and work nights. When I get off work in the morning we are making the five hour drive to Michigan to pick him up. We are beyond excited! We have been waiting for him for 9 long weeks!
I share my home with my 5 years old rescue cat, Molly. Life sure wouldn't be the same without here. It's not like living alone.
Wonderful! Merry Christmas to you!!! xxoo Susan & Desi
This was comfy, fun and enlightening. I’m having a rough week. Some things I am trying to figure out the root source. I have learned to always ask the question; What am I really feeling? And when I can see a glimpse of what it is..
I am learning to cradle that emotion like a baby. Loving kindness and speech, to myself helps.
Relationships are still proving to be the schoolroom for me. So,
My new homework this next week is to decrease the amount of attachment I am placing on the last couple years. The word
“ vulnerability” and its meaning is feeling much to heavy anymore.
So I am asking in my prayers to be new..... and
Fresh, like a flower, and stable like the mountain. Still like the water and peaceful like space and To trust a little more.
This loving speech my friends is feeling light and bright and beautiful.
Many times I reach out and hold your hand Susan while you are speaking.
Here is mine, for anyone who needs it too.
A new pillow and some jammies sound yummy. I have several ponchos and I love them so much.
My little Chuck, as you know passed 6 weeks ago. I have cried so much as I miss his company. This is the first time in 30 years without a pet in my life.
For now....
I am kissing all the neighbors fur babies when I see them.
I want to toast again all the great women here🌹and all the stories.
We share so much together.
Eileen. Thank you! Your comment was beautiful and also helpful to me. You seem like a real sweetie. Wishing for you peace and happy holidays!
Thank You Precious One. YOU Being Here, IS a BLESSING To Us ALL. 🤗
Dear Susan, thank you for bringing so much joy to my life. You have become a friend to me and I look forward to watching your Vlogs. All my dear friends and family have passed away and now the only dear friend I have left is in the hospital recovery from a massive stroke who lives in another state. I can’t understand why we always have to lose the people who love us. Thank you for sharing
I’m going to watch your show at least a couple more times this week. Love your sleep suggestions, the shopping, the piano music, the comments, the clothes. All so soothing. Hugs.
Tapping really does help....I think because you are concentrating on the tapping....your videos are just so sweet! Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Oh Gail my heart goes out to you dear! The loss of a pet is one of the most devastating experiences in life! Just gutting! I know so well that empty, desperate feeling! I’m so very very sorry! 😞
Beautiful memories💐
Oh my goodness Desi looks adorable with his Christmas hat! My Fritzi, a miniature white schnauzer brings so much joy and love in my life, as I live alone, too. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
We don’t have a pet anymore we had Harley “Harl’s” He was a mutt, my brother said he was the smartest dog ever! ( he had tricks to do every Xmas brunch) my husband won’t have another dog he said he just can’t take it when they die.Someday we will have one. We had to have him put to sleep he had seizures and they took a toll. My husband is a woodworker he built him a gorgeous solid cherry wood casket ,beautiful! Had handles we piled all his fleece blankets and toys in it. And my husband and I and our 2 boys grown then took him to my brother in laws land and buried him.The dog casket my sister said it looked like a child’s casket. It was Stunningly beautiful. I told my husband you could build and sale pet caskets and cremation boxes he said I don’t want to I’m Retired! 😆 lol
Ps the night before we bought him a kids meal cheese burger with bacon! with a frosty and my son fed him the whole damn meal!
Sorry this is so long..........
Take care. Susan.........
I don’t ever wear pj’s just nightgowns as hard as I try I may need to try again.
Merry Christmas Susan and Desi 🥰

Love the clothes and pajamas you found. I may have to go get some like them. Also. That pillow is nice. I have arthritis and I think it might help me. Your story about you grandfather is very touching and sweet.💕💕. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats now. I don’t know what I was thinking! Anyway, my two Chiwennie’s are my favorites although my Great Pyrenees is so sweet. So I have more than one favorite pet now. They keep me company and being joy to my life.
PS... Worry changes nothing. Trust the Lord instead! 💕💕💕
I’m so glad your grandfather came through for you. The value of this is inestimable! But, it just reminded me that I was a watch turner!
My buddy, Midas, is a big belly, gold tabby. Named after one of the cats on my grandparents' farm when my mom was growing up. There are numerous cat stories & Midas had some of the funniest. My Midas is often by my side (which is why I end my message to with my usual sign off) and sleeps at my feet (with his pal, Manny - my husband's black manx). He has the sweetest personality. I can't imagine life without a pet. Cats are easiest for us. Blessings to you and Desi from Midas and me!
Susan, as we approach the end of 2021 I wish you and Desi a Christmas filled with Christmas cheer and the making of beautiful memories.
My little favorite buddy is a cocker spaniel named Frankie He's black and white and I've had him when he was 8 weeks old and he's almost 2 years old he has brought so much love 💕 and Joy! Thank you so much for your videos! God bless!
Your pjs are so pretty. Your cape and poncho love them. Be safe and well.
