WORST Decision We've EVER Had to Make (emotional)

- What is it like to travel full-time with pets? It's incredible. But now we're being forced to make the most difficult decision of our lives: Continue sailing around the world with our cats or let them retire back in the USA.

Traveling about the world for the past 10 years with two cats has been an adventure, to say the least. They’ve sniffed, hunted and marked more territories in their lifetime than any other pawed creature I know. From climbing mountains, descending into canyons and lapping from glacial rivers, there isn’t much these two furry travelers haven’t done.
Choosing to live an alternative lifestyle, especially one as a nomad, comes with its challenges. Luckily for us, both Singa and Cleo have adapted and thrived through the ever-changing journey.
Our thousands of miles together around North America were mostly seamless and straightforward. Even moving aboard a sailboat proved to be more of a challenge for us humans than the felines. But, 13,000 nautical miles later we’re at a crossroads.
We’ve been confronted with some hard decisions and it’s been an emotional roller-coaster. But, it’s a part of our story and not one we want to leave you out on. This is the most difficult story we’ve ever shared, and you may want a handkerchief close by for the ending.
Shared with LOVE 💕 from all of us here aboard s/v Curiosity,
- Jason, Nikki, Cleo and Singa 😻

© Gone With the Wynns 2020
We're completely blown away by all the kind words and personal stories you have shared about your own pets and loss. 💛 Thank you for crying with us, for your words of support and choosing to be a part of our journey. The love we feel is appreciated far beyond our ability to put into words.🙏
Your one of those people that think of them selves first
They are not crying for you they are crying for those poor cats
Gone with the Wynns My girlfriend and I cried so much ... and cuddled our 2 dogs a little more that night.
Watching your Chanel for years, I often thought of the day one of your cats crosses the rainbow 🌈 bridge 🐾. I imagined your sadness, how you might do a possible burial at sea ceremony on the boat etc etc. But oh the sadness of 1st having to decide to separate from them (although you found the perfect place). This was sad 😢 and tragic enough. But I feel so much for you and for your loss, that you could not be with Cleo during his last moments. I’m really sorry it turned out that way. I’m sure if you had known you would have stayed close by until the end. 😔Hindsight is 2020.
For having said last goodbye to a few of my furry family members, I feel your pain.
Hope Singa is adapting to his new life and to the loss of his friend. Will be easier for him with the new friends than what would have been on the boat. Take time to grieve and thanks for sharing even this emotional part of your life. 🐈
I read a comment that Cleo will hiss at you one minute and purr the next. Remember, animals can also have dementia .
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you both find comfort in knowing she had a long and beautiful life.
We are literally in tears; we had no idea. Our hearts go out to you guys, even though she was “geriatric” it’s still hard to lose your baby. Much love to you guys.
MISS YOU GUYS... HOPE YOU ARE HAVING A GREAT VACATION FROM YOUR VACATION SHOW... LOL
I am going through Sailing Zatara⛵ withdrawals!!💙 See you soon!😁#davesandersstepdaughter 🏀
We didn't have the heart to tell you when you were already so sad about having to say goodbye to your all-grown-up little girl.
@ATV HogHunter Say what? Have you not been paying attention? Have you not actually watched the video? Get up to speed, fool!!!!!!
Why am I crying?? Jason's face broke my heart 😭
On Christmas I lost my wife of 51 years, then I watched this video and the tears all came back. Losing a family member whether it is human or animal is so hard to bear. Watching your videos has brought so much joy to my life, thank you.
jerry clower Lost my baby brother 3 years ago, he was 59. Now everything is a cry fest. I'm 70, so mom and dad are gone. Can't seem to adjust. Brother was NOT supposed to go before me.
I'm sorry for your loss.
@@bentnickel7487 I'm sorry for your loss too.
Part of loving our animals is making the right choices for them. Letting them go is the hardest part of love
True, the hardest part love is letting go.. animals, people, life.. knowing that life lived was good may be the only solace.. we're all with you in your pain as we are in your joy.. stay strong and stay awesome.
So very sorry ...she lived a life that ANY human would only dream of❤🐾🐾 sweet dreams sweet girl🙏
@@vgandersonauthor calling murder "euthanasia" doesn't make it "humane", that's the most absurd excuse for intentionally taking a life.. anuway, this is not the place for your venom or this argument.. either you say something nice to the ones grieving or you hold your silence and keep walking.. find a suitable platform elsewhere for your bile and spew it there please.. thank you, fellow Human.. be well in these dark times.
@@vgandersonauthor Cleo was doing very well with her medications and special diet for her kidney disease. She had settled in nicely at Mutiny Ranch and was enjoying life there. She was happy there for a couple of months and there were no indications that she was about to die. In fact, when she did pass it was so sudden that Lynn & Clark didn't have time to grab car keys or call the vet. She died swiftly and peacefully in Clark's lap. Now everyone is entitled to their opinion, and if you clearly cannot see the logic of Nikki & Jason not wanting Cleo to be in a place with zero vet care, at 19 years old and with a life-ending chronic condition, then that is your choice. BUT, if you cannot express your opinion in a more civilized manner without name-calling & vitriol, I will ban you from this channel (as I do with all trolls who cannot express themselves like reasonable adults). I have your most recent comment in pending (it will not be released) and will check back on this thread. Be well and be nice or be gone.
Curious Minion
@@gonewiththewynns You people really don't get it. I'm with V.G. This isn't about chastising them for leaving Cleo somewhere she could get vet care. DUH. This is about chastising irresponsible pet owners for ditching her there. One of the largest parts of responsible pet care is making sure YOU, the pets people, are where the animals can get care, and continue to receive YOUR companionship. The companionship the animal spent 19 YEARS becoming dependent on and is a HUGE part of their survival and safe passing from this life. Yeah, she died sooner than expected, they ditched her after 19 years, leaving her in emotional distress on top of her physical problems. Only the most selfish and cold-hearted people among us would be capable of such a despicable act.
Your adaption to this loss will prepare you, sorta, for the loss of other loved ones. My wife who used to watch your presentations with me just passed. Sorrow is what we do to let the sadness out. Fair winds you two. Enjoy every moment you have together. We did.
My condolences to you as well
My condolences to you and your family. That pain is a loss on a different level. You are right that we should enjoy every day. We just lose sight of that in the daily grind. Safe travels to you as well.
Henry Reed, my Heartfelt condolences.
Beautifully said, Henry. Peace be with you
I am so sorry for your loss. Loosing her must feel like a wall in your home is missing. Hope you find happiness and peace, and love again.
Even though I knew a day ahead of time that the video was coming out I still couldn't watch it right away. I waited till afternoon and was still not prepared. Thank you so much for the care you put into creating this beautiful tribute. Even though we were there for Cleo's passing it still tore me up to see the words on the screen. I was so emotionally drained yesterday that I couldn't come comment. And now I'm sobbing all over again. Thank you for trusting us with your kitties. We love them and you!
We are more grateful than we could ever put into words! We'll talk later. I'm not crying, you're crying! 💙💙💙
You are such wonderful, caring people to take in all those animals and be there with Cleo at the end. God bless your huge hearts!!
To all animal lovers, know that there are many more animals needing love and protection out there. Do what you can.
Thank you for taking in the Wynns cats and being with Cleo when she passed. Thanks for rescuing all this animals
You guys are the best to keep and love the little fellas ❤️
That's a great place to run out their last days ! Great people with great big hearts for animals . They've never had so many friends !
Bringing them there was the nicest thing you could do for them.
As a non-sailor I've occasionally wondered why I love your channel so much. I appreciate your love of adventure and exploration, but more than that, I respect your kindness and care towards all. As always, thank you for the window into your life.
UA-cam needs to have a "love" button and an "I'm sobbing" button. I opted for the thumbs up instead! Beautiful tribute to your little fur babies.
I so agree. I am following a youtuber that was diagnosed with cancer a while back (after I was following, that isn't why I subscribed) and I want to do everything I can to support his channel but somehow upvoting a video about a young man, father, husband in his last months seems almost ghoulish.
I’m crying uncontrollably! My heart is breaking! You guys are so brave. Of course you did what’s best for your fur babies ❤️ I don’t know how you did it! This is by far the saddest and most beautiful story 🌹 My heart goes out to you both! Thank you for sharing💕 you guys are special!
💙💛💙
One year later. You gave Cleo a beautiful and loving home for the end of the beautiful life you gave her. Good on you for doing the right thing.
My Kitty literally saved my life after my wife passed. I still have her, but I feel your pain. God bless.
I’m so sorry guys. I’m sitting here in tears. Lots of love
Tim
It has been eight months but I still send my sympathy. I loved the snap shot of Cleo on the boat seat looking heaven ward. That seemed to sum everything up beautifully.
ah! our hearts go out to you. this is a hard decision, one that we've known is inevitable with the life we've chosen as well. it's so challenging, and I know didn't come easy. 💜💜
Damn it guys! I’m sitting here watching this, crying my eyes out and everyone around me thinks I’ve lost my mind. We all know you made the right choice. Thank you for being brave enough to share this with us. 😢
This is the only UA-cam vid that has ever made me uncontrollably cry. My heart is broken for you two. RIP Cleo.
So sorry about your loss!!! You did the right thing even though it has been so difficult for you both. What a bittersweet video. Thoughts and prayers as you begin your adventures anew❤️
im so sorry of your passing with Cleo, I loved her and her little snippets in all your beautiful adventures. she lived a beautiful life and will forever be remembered through you, and these amazing adventures you shared with us.
I didn't even realize how attached I had become to them just seeing them every week. This broke my heart too 😢
Me too i cry 😭
I have buried two cats and my heart still hurts. It won’t be easy but you’ve had lots of wonderful memories with both. ❤️❤️❤️ Stay strong🤗
You gave them such a wonderful, adventurous and loving life at your journeys and when it came to a tough decision you decided for their own good. ❤️ I also cried with you and were so touched by your feelings for them. My animal buddy’s are the most important to me too.
Thank you for caring so much and sharing your journey with us. ❤️ Greetings from Berlin.
Been watching you guys for years. Sorry for your loss. Keep up the work, it's a pleasure seeing the world from your eyes and more importantly, your perspective.
A Haiku for Cleo:
Ahoy there, Cleo!
Now beyond the horizon.
What a life you had.
💙💙💙
That must have been one of the luckiest cats in the world to have lived such adventures with you both. God bless and condolences.
TOM ARCHER
And that would be their blessing, to have lived so.
I completely understand your pain. I have had to help two dogs at their end. My heart is forever broken by it. Thank you for such a beautiful tribute to your lovely cats. Your films have helped myself and my partner get through this pandemic. Thank you so much for that.
Thank you both for your generosity and vulnerability in sharing this most intimate pain. You have achieved it in a dignified, life-sustaining way and I appreciate the deeper connection I feel towards your journeys because of it. Peace.
"Time spent with cats is never wasted" - Sigmund Freud
Love this
Unless you are allergic like me. Then they SUCK!!! 17 years suffering but now daughter going to college so I'm free at last to breath normally. Also cats are essentially super weird.
Awww. I was in the Air Force and took my two cats with me from Maryland to Germany. Drove with them to Crete Greece. We returned back to Texas. They lived to be 19.
Sorry to hear about the hard decision you guys had to make. Sometimes we have to do things for the ones we love that is hard for us but better for them. Thank you for sharing you story with us and so sorry to hear about her passing. But she is not suffering any more and is in a better place.
So sorry for your loss. What a life she lived though. Thank you for sharing your story! Blessings!
I was holding it together till the message popped up about Cleo passing away. So sorry for your loss. Cleo really did have an amazing life.
Same here. Sorry for your loss.
Does anyone else have a tear in the corner of their eye? So sad, yes, for the best, but.... 🥺🥺🥺 God Bless.
Thanks for having the strength to keep it together while filming another difficult part of your life. It brought back many emotions for me when I was in the same situation. I wish you happiness in traveling without part of your family. Chins up from Alberta.
OMG you guys. Ive been binge watching from the beginning over the past 3 weeks so i feel so invested in your journey. Im balling my eyes out. Youve done the right thing even though its very hard. Much love.
You had me in tears from where you watched her walk in the house... so sorry for your loss, she was so fortunate to have y'all for parents. 🐈😇😭
My eyes are wet and my heart is breaking for you 💔 What a blessed and beautiful life you gave them and what a gesture of love to offer Cleo at the end of her days; to live wild and free with her best friend by her side. Any cat could only be so lucky to have lived their life as a Wynn 💗
I'm so, so sorry. I love you guys and it breaks my heart to watch this. Thank you for sharing such a special, personal experience. Sending lots of love your way!! 😢❤️
Rest in Peace Cleo.... you guys did a great job with the video bringing to light the love and respect we all have for our animals/family members. Thank you......
Omg. The range of emotions I had. When I first saw the title I figured you had to put Cleo down. Then when you told us that both cats were retiring on the ranch I was happy, but sad for you, and had tears in my eyes as Jason did. I knew I would miss seeing them on the videos, but at least they would be happy. Then at the end you told us of Cleo's passing, and again tears. But as you said she had a wonderful life filled with adventure, and two very loving parents. Sometimes, while I enjoy your sailing adventure I miss you traveling in the motor home, and hiking with Singa. Best wishes to both of you!
Most difficult episode to watch ever. My heart goes out to you.
Linda Durst I totally agree. My fam are like...”are you crying?” Yes, yes I am.
I’m so sad for you all and your loss. I’m watching your video with my 2 cats and I can’t imagine having to make that decision and losing one of my babies. Sending you love and support 💜🐾
A beautiful and touching tribute. Thank you Wynns for sharing your adventures.
I'm crying like she was my own. You don't know how much your family is connected to all of us. Even though we have never met just know you are in a little piece of my heart. Thank you. Love always.
Agreed
She truly had an amazing life! You both made the right decision, the most unselfish decision and you can be at Peace with that!❤️ Your friends are lovely and she was meant to be there with them at that time.
Agreed
Thank you for sharing that story, I am in tears, I know how hard it is to leave them behind. Although they are not my cats I feel they are our friends too. I love following your journey and wish you all the best following your loss. Knowing that your cat was in a happy place will have helped, what tales will be told over the rainbow bridge
Thank you for sharing this very meaningful, heartfelt & emotional experience and update with all of us.
Cats are part of our life for short period of time, but they spend their whole life with us. And I'm sure Cleo loved every second of his life with you 🌈🐈.
"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." -Anatole France.
Beautiful quote, thanks.
What amazing friends you have to take on wayward animals like that; truly giving souls. Cleo could finally leave knowing her brother was going to be cared for and not lonely. Sweet sweet bittersweet episode.
I have been a bit behind on your videos and adventures, and I just watched this one, and cried like a baby. I am soooo sorry for your loss of Cleo. I always loved watching you interact with your cats, and sailing. Thank you for sharing such a personal video. She will be missed.
Were a couple of cat lovers too. Lost ours a few years ago, too much pain to go through that again, so when you thoughtfully explained about Cleo's situation & Singa's - were so sorry. You can see they were happy on the Ranch, and how brave you both were Nikki & Jason. Our deepest condolences. And yes, I might be a big tough fella - but like everyone else that has followed you both, along with the cats over the years . . . we'll, im looking down at a flooded keyboard here. Love to you both & Singa.
Well, I hadn't planned on bawling my eyes out this morning. I have a Cat and a Dog. Both about 14 years old. I dread the days of separation looming ahead. God Bless You and that wonderful family who took Singa. She looked very happy, as did Cleo. R.I.P. Cleo.
Agreed. We are all crying here. We have 2 cats on our boat and just love them to pieces
I've never cried so much watching a UA-cam episode! What a selfless act, giving them a better life
Seeing the compassion and love you have for your animals is a beautiful thing. Sending you and your cats my love. May you all stay safe and happy on your journeys in life!
🙏🏻
My heart just aches for all of you. I’ve watched you from the very beginning and feel like you’re family. Still wiping away tears as I try and write this. Please know we are sending hugs, love and prayers your way. Thanks for taking such good care of each other, showing us not only how to live a great life but to share such unconditional love in your life as well.
You have all touched our hearts more than you will ever know. ❤️😔❤️😔
Same for us. We have 2 cats in our boat. We are all just crying over here. Much love
So sorry about Cleo’s passing. 😢
I found your videos in quarantine, and have been so involved in catching up on your journey. You and the kitties have helped me stay sane through all of this, and now I am in tears watching this video. Hearts go out to you two, and to Singa! I'll miss seeing the cuties on the videos, and will now be going back to watch good videos with them. Maybe a playlist for us all with "Best of Cleo and Singa"?
Hey guys, I picked up on you as you were getting back to the boat after your US and subsequent COVID experience... Loving animals as I see you do, I have tears in my eyes as I see you drive away... I know that feeling from my own experience. Love is as love does. Your heart is true and your decision was best. I send you love from Asheville NC. Thanks for sharing your journey!!
An eloquent testimonial for Cleo. Now, we'll all remember her.
As a fellow cat lover myself, I think you guys made the right decision in placing the cats on the farm. It looked a happy place with nice people.
I have a lump in my throat and am typing thru tears. Nothing makes the loss of a loved one easy. My heart is breaking for you. Wishing you gentle days ahead as you heal.
Sending you guys big hugs, I’m a bit teary now too, thanks for sharing something very personal with us all. ❤️
I'm sorry you have to do that. I started crying when you were talking about cleo
Best cat life ever. You’re doing right by them even though your hearts are breaking.
Wow. The saddest and happiest of vlogs. Condolences. I love that your cats, your family, got to travel the world with you, sharing the journey of life and companionship. It is so sad to lose a soul but to have shared a soul is life.
I am absolutely bawling watching this video. I just found you guys. I'm so sad that you had to make that tough decision but I'm glad Clio had her brother with her when she passed. I hope your hearts are better now. XOX from Ireland
My heart just broke watching this. She had a beautiful life. RIP gorgeous Cleo :( x
The hardest decision was the best one for Cleo and Singa. The end of an era. My love to all the Wynns.
The song at the end of the video was beautiful.
Dara Tucker so true on the best decision for Cleo and Singa. It would’ve been selfish not to let them stay. So glad they have this opportunity to live the rest of their days on the ranch but will miss their cameos.
Very beautiful
So i started binge watching your adventures a month ago. And absolutely love every minute of it. And here i sit with one of my cats on my lap SOBBING!!! You graciously share your home and lifestyle with us and clearly many of us fans have grown attached. Always brutal when we have to say goodbye to our fur babies. She is chasing butterflies now. RIP Cleo. 💙 I’m going to rewatch the whale videos to hopefully cheer me up. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
I’ve only just discovered your channel and have been binge watching. I sitting here crying over the beautiful sacrifice you both made for the love and safety of your beautiful cats. They both looked so at peace on the farm. I just lost my 18 yr old tabby boy and it hurts so much but we do what’s best for the animals that’s touch our hearts and never leave. I know it’s been over a year since losing your fur baby but I just wanted to say that you did a wonderful thing for them. Love your wonderful videos. Coral from Melbourne Australia 🐨🐈
Thoses cats have had a better life than millions of humans😊❤
Darn you...for making my eyes leak early on a Sunday morning. So sad. Hold on to the good memories. Jah bless we are so fortunate to transition with such love and compassion. Ase' Fair winds...
You two are awesome people for taking care of your cats and doing what's in their best interest! :) Don't be sad. Be happy that they found you two in their time on earth.
Soo sorry for your loss. It’s soo hard to say goodbye. I know it’s been a year but I’m just seeing this episode. Your kitties were given the best life ever. Yes, I’m an animal lover too. I love your videos 💕 Following you two has been most amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Stay safe out there💕. God Bless❤️
"We're in a bit of a somber mood." Half of UA-cam, too. 🐱🤧 I'm my nearly 6 decades, I've had the privilege of sharing time with many furry friends. Each of them leaves an indelible mark upon our soul as they share their lives with us. My Lila, now nearly 12, has been fighting corneal necrosis for the last 6 mo. She's my BFF, rescued from a bamboo grove near our building when she was less than a month old. I'll miss seeing your babies on board.
We LOVED you guys when you were RVing with your little furry family...While we are empowered by your jump into the cruising lifestyle TBH we stopped watching when there was alot of talk about monies and "a blow is a comin'"...However, your example of taking your kiddos with you has been an inspiration...We can surely say regardless of our families health issues we would never give our kiddos up..We would rather they or we pass in each others loving arms than be apart...a real bummer for you guys....some respect lost too...your crying tells the whole story of a bad decision....
@@chrish4483 with all due respect, they made the right decision. It's not very nice for you to be so judgemental. Singa is so much better off now being surrounded by other fury friends after the passing of Cleo.
@@chrish4483 ,
And there is the real difference...they made a very hard decision for the best interest of their furry family, and it seems by what you are describing, you would make the selfish decision that would make you feel good and not necessarily what would be best for the animals. You really showed your colors...
The Wynns are real, genuine and compassionate people, that have my highest regards.
@@chrish4483,
The Wynns made a very difficult decision, that was in the best interest of their furry family. You, on the other hand, by your own description, would make a selfish, self serving decision, that would make you feel good and not necessarily be in the best interest of the animal(s). You really showed your true colors...
The Wynns are genuine, kind, and compassionate people, and they have my highest regards.
@@johndiezel5781 Your defense of the Wynns is misguided...My belief is that if you take in a family member, furry or otherwise that is commitment you make for life, not until it suits YOUR life or more importantly your travel plans...Case in point, I have cancelled 2 international vacations in the last year because we took in a 3 year old herding dog that had never been trained or socialized; that had largely been left in an outside kennel, by 3 different families, that no other family would adopt..8 months later she is one of the most amazing furry kiddos I have ever had.. Further, 2 of my current furry kiddos require medications twice daily and we have had several others who also required regular medical care all of whom passed of old age in our loving arms with their family..So in your blind defense of the Wynns, don't misjudge my statement. In my view again I would NEVER give up a pet to suit my future life or travel plans...especially one that had been in my family for soo long..A horrible decision for that animal to lose its seemingly forever family
I was crying when you said goodbye to them on the farm - now I'm devestated. How terribly sad xxx
Hey guys you have done the right thing for your cats despite it being so emotional and I'm sorry to hear that Cleo passed away. I have two cocker spaniels and even with pet insurance they have cost us thousands in vet fees, But we wouldn't be without them as they bring so much joy. By now you are back on your boat. even if it is out of the water, and making new friends. Take care and let's hope 2021 will be a better virus-free year,
I've followed you guys from your R.V. days and I was always amazed and intrigued how you managed to travel with your cats. What a beautiful video you guys put together in a difficult time, you were awesome kitty parents, they were lucky to have parents like you. Peace and fair winds and following seas.
I've been following TalesFromTheMutiny for a while now, since you mentioned them on IG-been following Cleo & Singas journey - such a beautiful place to have taken them. I must admit though, I was fine until Jason started choking up and I completely lost it. Much love to you all - 😻🐾🐾 🐱🐾🐾
Heaven is a place where all the cats you’ve ever loved come to greet you.
You guys are amazing.. It’s so sad to hear of you loss, I’m sitting on a train with tears running down my face. I’ve been following you guys for about a year now and you have inspired me to join the live aboard community and sail around the world. Having animals myself (a border collie called Oscar)I know the heart ache that we have to go through when they become old are ill. My heart goes out to you.. Remember the good time you have together, they will always be with you in your heart..
This is the only you tube video that ever made me cry. I was a big fan of yours when you were doing the RV thing, not so much when you switch to the boat; but for some reason this video came up on the top of my recommended videos, after watching it I know why. Your cats are blessed with a very special life and have seen so much more in this world than most adults will. Definitely one of the most beautiful videos. Thank you for sharing so much of your life stories over the years.
Never have I cried so much over a you tube video. After following you all for so many years, I feel your loss and know Cleo and Singa are always with you. Glad to see that Singa has so many other friends to be with.
You have done the right thing for Cleo and Singa..My heart breaks for you tho..
Such a beautiful piece...thank you for sharing! Cleo journey will also live within you!
I asked where your buddies were in another video before finding this one. You guys are amazing parents to have found such a great place for your babies to land. Well done. And I love your friends. REALLY big hearts!
Our pets give us their unconditional love and in return we have a burden, to do the right thing for them even when it hurts so damned bad. Too often our cats and our dogs go down suddenly, and at the end we are left with just those fresh, bad memories. So glad you had time to say a proper goodbye, and that Cleo's last weeks were spent in happiness and lifted with the spirit of a new adventure. Hope the many wonderful memories of your journeys with your kids will help ease your weary hearts.
I cry because you cry. Thank you for your tears. Feelings are the most honest thing we have. Cleo and Singha always made me feel good. Now...onward!! Love you guys.
You two are beautiful souls. I don't know why I didn't find your channel before. Another one to watch:) I love your personalities and being a big cat lover I appreciate the wonderful life you've given those two gorgeous cats. You couldn't have done more for them.
So sad for Cleos loss.. literally in tears watching even though I had already seen the post from your reply to your latest video I posted on.. hugs.. i lost my cat the same way of 16 years. sending hugs.
This is so sad, Cleo got her feet back on the ground before she passed. My heart goes out to you.
Omg,I share your feelings, tears and pain loosing a beloved pet and companion. Your babies, your children .only an animal lover can understand the lost.
But you had beautiful memories.
So sad.

Kindest regards

Always appreciate your videos, and this one was very difficult. I’m sure this was a tough decision but what a nice home with your friends and how nice of them to agree to take your little 4 legged family members. Well done you two and way to be selfless!
Wow. Thank you for having the courage to share with us. Love is love.
I'm in tears, you have my deepest condolences. I can't express the sorrow I feel for you right now.
So sorry you had to make these difficult decisions, all around just heartbreaking. Sorry for your loss 💗
You guys are the best kind of parents! As hard as it is (and I can tell) you did what was best for your kids ❤️ And what better place for them, so glad you didn’t separate them either 🥰 Travel on and always remember, cuz they will 😍😍😍
BTW, you’re friends are the best!!!
It’s so hard to say goodbye😭. That’s the hardest part of loving fur babies. They always leave paw prints on hour hearts ❤️ sorry for your loss 😢.
