  • It's never easy to say goodbye to a beloved companion, we sadly had to do just that for our wild and speckled pup Bandit. You were a tremendous part of our everyday lives and we are so grateful for all the time we were able to spend with you over the years. Life won't be the same without you. We will cherish you always and never forget you stampeding around as if running was the only option, splashing and digging in any possible body of water, and most of all, looking after us. We love you Bandit, may you roam free now bask in the sunshine forever ❤️
    It's the end of the growing season here in Alaska, we spend several days pulling up spent vegetables, weeding and mulching the garden beds with a good dosage of compost, leaves and straw. We also dig up our yearly supply of potatoes and get our garlic planted. After all the garden work is done we make Kolduny, a fried potato pancake filled with caribou meat and onion.
    We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
    Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

    Thats one of the reason I loved your channel so much was how you cared for them. I am so glad they both were able to make the move with you to your new property. Now they will be running free in all that Alaska beauty.

I can honestly say I still miss each and every one of them. I know that your two dogs, Bo and Bandit, and Hunter the cat had the most magnificent lives ever. All because of you. Peace to all.

    Just breaking. Sobbed so hard for the second time on this channel. Bo now Bandit. No one could ask for two better dogs. You both gave them the best life any dog could be blessed with. The ending with the squeaky toy really got me. I'm glad to know that they're resting for an eternity together. Praying for you both during this time. You're two of the best puppy parents I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your fur babies with us.

    My Brittany, Stella, passed with kidney disease in 2016. She was bold and brave, and I nursed her as long as I could - probably too long. I have another Brittany, Tucker, who is 7 yrs old now. Our dogs are such a blessing. I'm sorry you lost your Bandit, and hope for you another pup in the not so distant future.

    So very sorry for your loss. RIP Bandit. I will miss seeing him digging in the puddles. Seven years ago my family said goodbye to our 14 year old pit bull/ bull mastiff mix named Gotti. She was a good and faithful friend that was right there when anyone was not feeling well. The loss of a family member is never easy. You gave him the best life full of adventures. He is with Bo and Hunter and they are watching over you.

    Truly sorry for your loss of Bandit, he had a good life. He always put a smile on my face when he went 'muddin' or 'swampin' (digging at the mud/dirt 46:36 and 47:04 to list two). Lost Harley my chocolate lab earlier this year so there's more playmates to share in the doggie after life. Remember you can always get a new dog(s) but you'll never replace Beau or Bandit. Best wishes and focus on the memories and not the loss.

    I feel heartbroken for you guys. There are literally no words to discribe the pain and how lonely it gets. I a lost both my dogs Alma (soul) and Abby in the a three year spam. The last one being this last june , also to kidney disease. I will remember them both for the rest of my life and so will you . I hope from the bottom of my heart that you'll get past this with your other critters as well. Bandit couldn't ask for a better life I guess. Filled with love, adventure and ponds. Love you guys. Bo and Bandit gone but never forgotten.

    Part of the reason I always get so excited to see Peppi is because a little over a year and a half ago I had to put Georgie, my beloved cat of 16 years to sleep. Almost exactly a year before that her sister Cutie Pie lost her battle with kidney disease.
    Luckily my beloved German Shepard/Corgie Riley is doing well and thriving with my parents while I'm at Grad school across the country.

    too emotional to say anything. I lost Ruckus 3 years ago, and although I have his son, Pixel, it's still a huge loss. Bandit, and Bo, had amazing lives as you included them in everything. Whilst I know you have spoken of the freedom you might find without a dog (for longer ventures away from the cabin), don''t leave it too long before you get a friend who is more acclimatised to Alaksan weather ... you'll appreciate it with the wildness you are surrounded by, you will be shocked by how important it is to have a dog acclimatised. to your localty to protect you from the. coyotes and more. As always, peace and best. wishes to you both. x

    I had an absolutely psychotic pup that no one wanted at the shelter. He pretty much disliked everyone except me. He was loving and protective of me til his last breath. He had cancer and was 11 years old when I took him for a walk in the snow. He could barely walk and fell several times. I took him inside and dried him off while he looked at me with his soft eyes. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and left this plane of existence. I know how you must feel. I cried when he passed, not ashamed to say so. He's been gone 8 years but I still think of him often. Rest in Peace Bandit

    My advice get a new set of pups ASAP because it helps take your mind off it and there’s nothing more fun and cute than a new puppy!

    They leave such a big hole in your heart when they pass. My can Tessa was an American Bobtail that I found hiding in the back of her cage at the SPCA. There was a sign asking that we get a staff member if we wanted to get her out but I didn't see it and picked her up and she snuggled into my shoulder. That was it for both of us. She was so affectionate and I had her for almost 16 years until Kidney disease made it too hard for her to stay. I can really feel your pain and I hope in the future you find another friend not to replace Beau and Bandit but to give your hearts a new unconditional love

    I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Bandit. He lived a good life and was loved. He was with his family, when he passed. He will be missed and remembered. 😢

    We had our Bandit that we had too put down many years ago when he was 18. We missed him deeply and decided to get another puppy KC. We had KC for 18 years as well and sadly we lost him last year. It was incredibly painful time for us. There was no greater companion, no better friend than KC. So sorry for your loss. "without love there is no grief"

    Sorry to hear your sad news.Our brave little Suzy cat was 23 when she passed on. A gentle soul, we would have taken her to the vet that afternoon but we went out and on coming back she had moved into her favourite spot in the sunshine and passed away.Much love to you both.

    I saw the comments about Bandit before i even watched the video. My heart breaks for you guys. 💔 I'm so incredibly sorry you lost him. I know him and Bo are together over the rainbow bridge waiting for you guys to join them someday. Thanks for sharing them both with us in your videos. ❤

    So sorry about your loss of Bandit. He will be missed. So glad he had a wonderful life with the two of you. I lost my Charlie about a year and a half ago. We had 15 fabulous years together. He was a fox terrier/queensland healer mix who we adopted at a year old from the local animal shelter. I am so looking forward to next year's garden with your seed room and fabulous garden.

    Bo & Bandit? Theyre both saying, Wow, thank you Eric & Ariel for giving us the best lives a dog could ever ask for; every day was an adventure, every meal was a banquet, and every night? We were warm and safe and dry. We'll be waitin for ya- at Rainbow Bridge; Oh- bring the ranger, we'll go get some birds. ❤🐕❤️😇

    You gave your pups a wonderful life, lucky dogs! But I so feel your pain, as I parasocially adopted your dogs when my beloved boy, whom my daughter brought home as an emaciated 8 week old pup on Christmas Eve, passed away suddenly (in my arms) 2 years ago. He was almost 12 and was my only companion during the lockdown in 2020. Thanks for filling my void. RIP Bandit and Bo, you were genuinely loved by many. 🐶 💞

    Of course, I cried when both of your dogs passed. They were a part of our family. You guys gave them their best lives. They've always looked so happy and content. I have 2 dogs. Both chihuahuas. Stevie (female) is going on 12. I've never had any problems with her. I got her at 5 weeks. She's really smart. Then Nick (her brother) I saved him from a neighbor when he was 2 months... He's going on 11. He was born blind. I try to give them both a good, safe life. I am blessed to have them.
