You are NOT stupid, you are NOT unlikable, you are NOT too loud, you are NOT too fat, you are NOT nasty, you are NOT weird, and there is no such thing as too happy!!! YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY CREATED!!! And you are loved by many!!! Please remember that!!! ❤ We love you and are praying for you all.
I totally agree with you, Merina is such a beautiful soul to share her life with us. I have followed her for several years and she has helped me so many times when I needed to hear her. I love her she feels like family to me. ❤❤❤
You said it best!! Amen. Please do not give up live your life. You and your family are all that matters. Promise me you will continue to be yourself forever. We all love you.
Ditto. My family watches her because we don’t have to worry if we need to sensor her or her family. Also the way she unapologetically loves Jesus inspires us to go out and be unashamed and watch what we say. The dance parties or random songs, the way they’ve grown together and with their skills and decided that they’d still be them and not change when channel blew up was awesome.
I was ready to comment and say these same words. Marina, Please feel the love, the power of prayers, and we adore you!! Take your time and know we are here for you.
Marina I am 63 yrs old, I retired from a Gov. job working for the USGS for 30 yrs, and if someone had told me that watching some little trailer park women on youtube simply clean her house and do her laundry, and fix her home and make me laugh out loud, would become one of my favorite things to do, I would have told them they were nuts!! but HERE WE ARE.. Marina, enjoy all of us who love you, Shane, and your beautiful children. I even have my daughter watching you now. We don't really need those who whisper jealousy, evil and self-doubt anyway, do we? I seem to remember something in a good book about listening to a brood of vipers,.. I will just leave that there for you to look up. I am sooo sorry about Binx, but even loss is part of Gods plan, though we may not at the time understand the test of it.
I am a 64 year old retired woman who admires Marina and her family! Marina, your videos and your sweet heart bring me so much Joy! You inspire so many! Please do not let the evil one use people unkind words thwart you! I amn glad you are protecting yourself though. I will be praying for you daily as you heal from this tragic event! God is with you and your dear family!
Well Angel, looks like you cover the 60 age group pretty well, Im 63. We all relate to you so much. It is your intellegent, simple , honest, humble spirit. Your openess. God bless you, keep you and I speak the name of Jesus over your hurt and ache. Love you Darlin. Im so sorry for your trauma and pain. Prayers over you and yours.
This comment made me laugh. I remember stumbling upon this channel and wondering what the heck did I just find. Then I was hooked on this lovely family with big hearts. We're here for you! So sorry you are going through this. Prayers to your family, Merina!
Dogs teach us how to love and how to grieve. I lost my first when I was 4, and now at 65, my old boy is 15 so I know I won’t have him much longer. He is my shadow and like your Binx, my confidante. Just remember you gave your Binx a great life, and he felt how much you loved him. I believe all dogs go to heaven, and you will see Binx there. I will be praying for you❤
Marina do not let nasty people talk down to a daughter of the King. The devil will do whatever he can to ruin your ministry and don’t let him do that. You are a special person and I love to watch you and your dear family. What a blessing that you have Shane to watch out for you. Prayers for you. God put a hedge of protection around these dear people during this time and mend her broken heart during this time to give her a smile back. Prayers for each of you.
Silent subscriber here. I have been following you for a few years now and I must speak up now. You Merina are the most beautiful human being on this earth. You have a beautiful soul. You are not stupid nor ugly. I do love you and your family which also includes your fur and feathered babies. It hurts to lose a close pet. I have been there. It will take time but you'll get there. Know that Binx is alive and well in Jesus's arms and he'll be waiting for you. Praying for you and your entire family. Luv U ❤
I will always think of Binx running around Heaven, playing with all of the other dogs and all of the children. Just waiting for the day he sees you again!! God Bless you and your family.❤
The Lord showed me a vision of a long haired daschund dog a few nights ago which may line up with the timing this happened to you. I, as is usually the case, didn't know in the moment why I was seeing what I was seeing and then I saw this video. Your baby is happy and very much alive in the only Kingdom that matters and that is the Kingdom of our Heavenly Father. I bless you and your family, and I pray this brings all of you a deep peace knowing Marina that you will see him again and that he is in the best hands. I never leave comments and I don't do this social thing lol but I feel the Lord connecting us for some reason. I see Jesus in you Marina. It's beautiful!!!! Sometimes I watch you just to hear you say "I love you but Jesus love you more". What HE is doing through you and your family is powerful. Keep your eyes on HIM.
What a beautiful comment❤… I’ve been singing that song to my pet for years “ mama loves you, papà loves you, Jesus loves you more, you’re an Angel sent from heaven. We love you”.. Your comment is also a message to me I needed to hear and to the world. Thank you❤
Merina, you are not too loud, too happy, too fat or too much. You are a blessing, a light, a positive and beautiful person!! We love you. People who struggle with their own demons, project hate onto others. That is their struggle and not yours. You stand tall, follow god's calling and let your love and beauty shine through. That is what we are drawn to, that is what we love, that is why you are fearfully created!! God Bless you and your beautiful family xxx
Merina. It is a privilege for us to be able to share this space with you. I am a pastor's wife (and pastor's kid). I have had to learn to guard my heart and my life. Sometimes folks are just hurt and miserable. But they do not have to speak that hurt and misery into my life or yours. There is nothing wrong with setting boundaries in your space and in your life. I also commiserate with you as a country girl. I was raised on a farm and in the country. It is obvious from some of the comments I have read that there are a lot who are extremely ignorant about life with animals. Sadly, it comes with loss as well as great freedom, and joy. You and Shane are doing an incredible job with your babies and your animals. Give yourself some grace. We love you.
Yes. I feel like social media has made miserable people come out of the woodworks. I am a stay at home mom who would love to start a channel as a creative outlet, but I know 100% that I couldn't handle any criticism. People really need Jesus to soften their hearts and realize that real people are in front of the camera.
Bless you lady! I am a PK too and I don't think I have it in me to be a pastors wife! 🤣😂 I still serve in ministry under my dad. Being in a ministers family is rough!
@@erikastanger7848Yep and when you start talking about God, that’s when you really get attacked. When you’re in the “public eye”. I had people stalking me, harassing me, gaslit, oppressed, persecuted (No joke), witches and warlocks who do black magic to harm others, Sit Outside My House, Day and Night. Spiritual Attacks, etc. Even tried to kill me. Luckily I’m Still Here because GOD. 🙏 ❤🎉😊
We have a halo collar for our dogs. You set the perimeters and gps beeps them when they come close to the barrier and they run right up to the the deck . It was developed by the dog whisperer…Caesar Milan. It has worked so well for us being in the country with no fence. I’m so sorry for your loss. Please don’t let rude people break your heart even more. Love❤❤❤ I’ve are currently grieving the loss of my one and only grandchild who died of leukemia. Grief is overwhelming…. But God.
You gave Binx the best life he could have had on this Earth, and his passing had nothing to do with what actions you took or didn't take. It was out of your control. Please know that we love you
My heart is broken for your loss. As a dog mamma I can completely relate to the unending love you have for Binx. You have the strongest faith I have ever seen. Let Jesus carry you through this difficult time. I am praying for you and your family for your loss. 😢
He’s running around in Heaven now!!! So sorry that you and your family are dealing with the loss of Binx. I know how hard it is. Just know you have 120,000 friends here on UA-cam and we all wished we lived nearby. I will say a prayer for you tonight! Much love and a big hug!
Animals aren't created for heavenly life, but they are created for our enjoyment. The Bible teaches that out of all the creatures on earth, only a limited number of humans will go to heaven. (Revelation 14:1, 3) They go there to rule as kings and priests with Jesus. (Luke 22:28-30; Revelation 5:9, 10) The vast majority of humans will be resurrected to life on a paradise earth.-Psalm 37:11, 29. There is no mention in the Bible of a pet heaven or dog heaven-and for good reason. Animals cannot take the steps needed to qualify for “the heavenly calling.” (Hebrews 3:1) These steps include taking in knowledge, exercising faith, and obeying God’s commands. (Matthew 19:17; John 3:16; 17:3) Only humans were created with the prospect of living forever.-Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:22, 23. To go to heaven, earthly creatures must be resurrected. (1 Corinthians 15:42) The Bible mentions a number of resurrections. (1 Kings 17:17-24; 2 Kings 4:32-37; 13:20, 21; Luke 7:11-15; 8:41, 42, 49-56; John 11:38-44; Acts 9:36-42; 20:7-12) However, every one of them involved humans, not animal
Merina, people dont hate you, they hate themselves. Otherwise they'd never treat another as you've been treated. Know you are dearly love by many. I wish i lived close. The world needs more Merina and family in this world. You are beauty in an often ugly world. Sending you love, prayers, & virtual hugs.
Grief is grief in all forms. This sweet fur baby is family. You take as long as you need to grieve. As pet owners we all still grieve our babies. So much love and hugs your way, sweetie.❤❤❤❤️
"May the joy of the Lord be your strength." Binx was a very special fur baby. I pray that your grief will not last long & the sweet memories of Binx be with you always.🐕💙
My heart breaks for and your family. I gave 6 dogs and have lost 4 in the last 8 years and it never gets easy. My 6 dogs mean the world to my husband and I. We do not think of them as "just dogs". They are our family, our babies who love us so much and we love them so much. They are so much a part of us! My 4 little dogs I lost over the last 8 years still grieves my heart. I understand that you will never get over losing Binkx and you know you don't have too! We just don't stop loving someone because they have passed. Last week my x husband passed away. We have known each other for 55 years. We were divorced 40 years but we're still friends. We shared 2 sons and 4 grandchildren. I miss him and can not believe he is gone. I love my husband with all my heart, he is my soul mate but I still grieve the lose of my x husband. When people and animals have been a part of your life, your day, you just do not forget them. May Jesus hold you in his arms and may you feel His love, His peace and know how much He Loves You and Jesus knows how it feels to loose someone we love!
Love you Shane. You are one of the best husbands and Daddy’s ever. Love you and your family. But Block anyone who would send anything nasty to our sweet Marina. She is very special, beautiful and faithful. ❤️❤️
🧡🧡🧡 I screamed a hair raising scream too, the night that my favorite sweet precious small dog ran across our street to chase a big stray dog, and I called his name in panic to protect him from the big dog, and because I called his name, he came running back toward me, back into the street and was instantly hit by a car. A bunch of us were outside and I ran into the street in front of cars to stop them from running over his body, thinking he might still be alive. I picked him up in my arms. I wont tell any more of the story. I lost my little Chofi. It's been a few years now. Now his brother, Chapito, has become my sweet companion, and we have their mother Lulu, and her newer puppy La Chilindrina "Chilly". My neighbors still hear me scream like crazy when one of the dogs darts into the street occasionally.
BLOCK THEM STUPID PEOPLE.......THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO EVEN WATCHING YOUR PAGE OR COMMENT ON IT. YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL FOLLOWING AND POSITIVE LOVING PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE HERE AND WATCH YOUR CONTENT, WE LOVE AND YOUR FAMILY AND ALL YOUR FUR BABIES REST EASY BINX WE LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU 🙏❤🌈
I've been around for a few years and will never understand why people dislike you. You are the rare sunshine that most people need in their lives. Protect your heart. 💚 we will be here whenever and however you wants us to be. Binx is an amazing friend. God knew you needed him.. he fulfilled his role here on earth. Jesus called him home. 💚💚
Dark people hate the light. Because in that light, they see how ugly they are. It kills me that people are so awful to Merina. She is such a beautiful blessing to us all.
Binx Howard with the softest , most beautiful eyes… he sure loved his family didn’t he? He was the best friend to you, never judged and just loved . He was and is so loved and we all sure will miss him so much! Thank you for letting us get to know Binx. He was a true gem! ❤. So very sorry for your families huge loss!
Merina, Those dogs would've got to Binx no matter what you did. I'm 62 and I've lived long enough to see dogs that way. Binx had to best life of any dog I've ever seen. He was so happy and lived more in those 6 years than most dogs live a lifetime. I love you and you take care of you, please.
THREEE MINUTES IN AND I'M BAWLING MY EYES OUT!! MARINA, YOU ARE CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE ,SO, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! PLEASE STOP CUTTING YOURSELF DOWN!! I'M NOT YELLING AT YOU, I'M TRYING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION!! I'm so so sorry about Binks. Such a sweet cute puppy baby!!
I lost my Dad last year. A very kind Aunt informed me of a precious saying. When you love big. You grieve big also. You cry all you need to. Sending lots of hugs and prayers. 😢😢
I'm sorry for your loss! I lost 3 dogs at each in separate incidents. My 1st was due to old age. My 2nd started having seizures before I lost her. The 3rd was attacked by something when let out to go to the bathroom. So I get it!
Oh, sweet girl, my heart is breaking for you. Please allow yourself time to grieve. Lots of people don’t understand why we love our animals so much and think we are foolish when we cry over them but love is love. There is no doubt that Binx loved you too and I know all the what ifs and the traumatic way that he passed will haunt you. Try to not let your mind and thoughts go there. I have no doubt that your baby boy is healthy and whole sleeping on the laps of angels in Heaven. You will find your joy again. You are full of too much of it for it to completely disappear. We all love you and will wait as long as it takes for you to return to the talented, SMART, giving, Merina that we have all grown to admire. Prayers of comfort and strength for you, my “friend”!
Marina, they don't hate you honey, they're envious of you and your happiness and the fact that you can smile through most trials and they can't. I am so very sorry about sweet Binxie, my heart breaks for you and your sweet family. God bless and keep you all in his warm embrace. 🙏 ❤
Marina, your struggle is not against flesh but against spiritual forces. Jesus's light shines so brightly in you. This is what the lost of our world hate. But, it is what they need. Jesus will carry you through this and he will be glorified by your testimony. We can overcome all things through Him. I love you my sister in Christ and I am praying for you and your family daily.
I am so sorry....it's hard to be a fur baby mama....they aren't with us long enough. All you can do is love them all you can while they are with you and know you did all you could to give them a good life. Just know that fur baby is running wild in heaven as we speak and will be there to greet you when your time comes. As far as ugly comments....pray for those ignorant people....they know not what they do. You do you....that's why people watch you. You have such a beautiful soul....it shows. Don't let negativity color your life. Sending love, prayers and hugs.
I've always had the opinion that, God gave us dogs so that we could know and understand true unconditional love. This is why it crushes our soul when we lose them. Love you, Merina...love you. 😢 Binxy Howard The Goodest Boy. ❤️
You do NOT sound stupid ever, ever, ever. Anyone who has ever felt loss can understand completely. I love y'all. Girl I would not be apologizing to anyone for blocking tail holes. Let that finger have her freedom, block block block !!!!!! And the tribute to binxy was so sweet and I cried my head off through this whole video along with you. Love you sweet girl 🙏🌸
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m so sorry that people have been treating you rotten. You are a great woman. People are jealous because you have a wonderful family. You are happy and genuine. When people have a sad pathetic life they feel better trying to knock nice people down. Please don’t let them get to you..
Shane please put rocks over the grave, unless he is buried deep the coyotes might disturbe him and Merina's heart would be even more broke. I am so sorry about Binx Howard and worried about the other littles.
Yep, I'm crying... He's so beautiful. Those eyes. ❤ I totally believe animals have souls. Binx is still with you and your family. You just can't see him. I lost my Black Schnauzer, Milo a couple months ago. He was 10 and was very traumatic. Sweetie, Binx is with you and your family. 🫂💚🙏
I completely agree. I believe animals have souls. Binxy is still with Merina and will always be with her. I am so sorry for your loss, as well. I lost my special Peanut 4 weeks ago and am still struggling with it. I know how hard it is to lose a special fur baby. My prayers are with all who lose theirs. 🙏❤️
OUR FUR BABIES ARENT K9 OR FELINES OR ANIMALS....THEY ARE FAMILY...WHEN YOU LOSE THEM YOU ARE LOSING A FAMILY MEMBER THE PAIN AN LOSS IS REAL...I STILL HAVE DAYS WHEN I JUST SIT AN CRY OVER OUR QUEENIE..THAT NIGHT WAS SO HARD I HELD HER WHEN HER VET ADMINISTERED THE EUTHENIZATION SHOT...I NEVER LET HER GO...IN THAT MOMENT MY HEART SPLIT IN 2...CRYING NOW AS I AM COMMENTING.....
We need to as a community start praying for Merina right now . She always always always pins those who ask for prayer at the top of her videos , fearfully created community let’s come together and pray for Merinas during this tragic time . Merina I’m so sorry for the loss of your best friend . I’m sorry but I disagree you aren’t too loud , you aren’t weird . You are a child of God sweet girl . Thank you for making content and being you ! From one random lady who sometimes comments but will always support your channel - you are an amazing human . Praying for you & your family ❤ hope you know as much hate you have seen you are loved by so many more ! Jesus loves you more !
Oh Merina please don’t stop your ministry on UA-cam. You are one of my favorite contributors and when you get filled with the Holy Spirit you are dynamite! We grieve Binx with you and will miss his sweet face. Take the time you need and know that we love you and your sweet sweet family!
Some lives may not be human, but they leave an impact far bigger than a human. Your Binx was one such being. I extend my deepest condolences to Binx’s demise. We're continuing to pray for y'all
I love you and I’m so proud of how you’re handling this. I think you’re amazing and you need to do what is best for you and your family. God bless you all. Binks is still with you ❤️
You are breaking this mommas heart. You are not stupid, you are not too much, you are not too loud. You mean so much to people and honestly are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for always motivating me to move and do better.
New here… and a fellow long-haired weenie mama… I don’t have the words to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Angus (my Ween) was the pup I got after our border collie passed from cancer. I truly believe God sent him because he has healed parts of our heart that I did not know felt impossible to heal after losing a fur baby. Our Weens are incredibly special and one of a kind animals. Praying for healing over your broken heart. From one weenie mama to another, I love you and again, so truly sorry for your loss.
Don’t ever listen to the fools on here that sit behind their keyboards blaming you and talking smack. You gave that dog more love and care than anyone could have. 🙏🏼🥰❤️
I never comment on videos but I feel compelled to put this out there… Your videos and your grace with the ugly side of social media is straight from Jesus. Loosing a soul animal changes a person like nothing else. To then have ugliness thrown at you when you’re hurting is unconscionable! Protect your peace, especially while you’re grieving. I hope that these boundaries stay. You’re such an amazing woman and shouldn’t have to deal with that side of people, especially strangers on social media. I will miss seeing the joy of your fur babies but we as viewers have no right to those aspects of your life. I look forward to each of your videos as you let your quirky self shine through on each and every one of them! We don’t need any more filtered and censored cookie cutter creators. This world needs more fearfully created! ❤
Merina, you did everything you could have done. You gave Binx a wonderful life. He was a very happy furry family member. You and the rest of your family will be in my prayers.
I’m so sorry you are going through this. You have a beautiful heart. Praying for those who hurt me always sets my heart in the right place and helps me get past it. It’s so hard at first, but gets easier with each prayer. ❤
I don’t think I have ever commented on one of your videos before, but I watch every single one of them. Marina, it breaks my heart to see you so sad and to hear about Binx, but it absolutely shattered my soul to hear you say those terrible and completely untrue things about yourself. You are beautiful, talented, smart, joyful, and kind hearted. The devil likes to mess with us and give us false perceptions of ourselves. That you can see anything but absolute amazingness when you look in the mirror is proof of that. God created you just how you are for his purpose. You get on these videos, and you give people like me hope. You spread his word, sing his praises, and lead people to him in ways that a church never has before, at least for me. You are WONDERFUL. I am praying for you FRIEND. You are so loved, and I hope you are able to find some comfort soon honey.
I cried😢 thru this viedo bc I truely know your pain. 6months ago I tragically lost my first fur baby of 18yrs & didnt get to say goodbye. When I lost him the grief was unbearable. After his death I had realized that my dog had become my emotional support. He had been there for me thru all of my grandparents death and a lot of ups and downs. My husband worked on the road alot and my fur baby was my bed buddy too. My kids went off to college & the military and my fur baby even got me thru the beginning stages of being an empty nester. With that said, please know, you will forever miss Mr Binx Howard but the pain does get better with time. The key to the healing process is to allow yourself to grieve, and it will look different as the days go on but just go with it. Im 6 months out & its much easier. What also helped me is I buried my baby under our oak tree in our front yard. Made him a grave with a night light that shines. From time to time I go sit with him and chat...it helps. I made a photo dog blanket of him & sleep with it. I probably will never get another inside dog bc no dog will ever have my heart like my baby did. We will forever miss Mr Binx Howard❤ He was full of love!! Sending prayers🙏 PS: DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF, IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT...IT WAS A FREAK ACCIDENT!! I was in the same situation but I realized...it was his time to go home. He had fulfilled his purpose in my life. And I turned my grief into greatfulness GOD gave me 18yrs with him🙏
You’re not stupid, unlikable, ugly, fat, etc. Shame on those people! You’re a beautiful kind person who is loved by so many. Don’t ever dull your sparkle Merina. We love you so much! ♥️ I don’t always comment but I never miss a video. You’re one of my favorites. Always feels like I’m sitting with a friend talking when watching your videos. Take all the time you need to grieve, you need it 🫂🙏🏻♥️
Oh honey I am so sorry for the loss of your precious baby. 💔 You have such a sincere sweet and gentle spirit. People are mean. They see that in you too or they wouldn't be watching. xo
You need to consider filing a police report if you haven't. These bigger dogs that continue to come on to your property are so very dangerous and they will eventually go after your children or neighborhood children.
That man knew who that dog belong to and proceeded to put his little body in a bag over the fence. Shame on him. What kind of human does that. Why didn’t he go over to Merina with him.
I hope she sees your comment because u are right! She has mentioned that these dogs are always coming on her property. I know she said she doesnt blame those dogs but that guy should have known better than to just bag binx and hope no one came looking for him. 😢
Not everything needs police to get involved. This was just a bad accident that could happen to anyone. Any dog will get territorial in their own fenced in area, and another dog getting in that fence is unfortunately going to get hurt. Poor little buddy.
Sweetheart, those people who comment those horrible things about you are insecure about themselves and are reflecting that on you. It is not you that they hate it is themselves. Don’t stop being you! You are you and you are one of a kind! I am so sorry about you losing your baby. You are wounded and broken and it will take time for you to heal and recover. I am an old woman who has been through a lot. You will be okay. You will always love your baby and your heart will always feel the pain but it will be less. I have 7 rescue dogs and 1 pitiful Pittie! I am a woman farmer so I know how you feel about your chickens also. People can be ignorant and cruel so sometimes you just need to overlook them! I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Know you have a friend in Tazewell,TN.
I am so, so sorry for you, your family and most of all Mr. Binks. The fence is a great idea. I've learned no matter what defenses you have in place to protect you pups the best defense is always being outside when they are. This is absolutely heartbreaking.💔💔💔 There's always going to be haters. You secure in the Lord so let him envelope you and protect you from the horrible haters.
Lord, I lift up this sweet sister…heal the broken pieces of her heart. Restore joy supernaturally! Keep her in perfect peace as her mind is stayed on you for she trusts in you. In Jesus Name, Amen! ❤❤❤
Hun you are WONDERFUl KIND LOVING Woman of God!!!! You are a Daughter of a Mighty King!! Never think bad of yourself!! I love your personality!!! Losing a pet is hard!! It toke time for me to get better over losing a pet!! I pray for peace over your mind and family going through this loss!!! Sending Love!! Love ya girly!!
We lost our son March 3 he was 44. Last week we had to have our 18yr. Old dog down. My heart is torn apart. I can only get by knowing God Is in control. ♥️
I don't think anyone hates you. I think they hate themselves and it makes them feel better about themselves if they hurt you. Like you said, hurt people hurt people. Yes, you are a little rough around the edges but you are a sweet, wonderful person. I'm not even a Christian but I find you to be the essence of what a Christian should be. Also, I know you blame yourself but it's not your fault about Binx. I can tell you though, from experience, the pain will get better but never go away completely. 30 years ago, I accidentally caused my 2 dogs' death. I grieved for years and hated myself and blamed myself for years. Now if I start thinking about it, I will still start crying but most days, I don't think about it anymore. I am sad you won't share about your pets anymore. I'm such an animal lover, I really enjoy seeing them in your videos.
Merina, you are so loved by the world whether you realize that or not. God blessed each of us when he brought you here and your complete love and devotion for your family and pets is a beautiful witness to see. I know the love of a pet and how empty our lives become once they move on. It’s the memories and love we hold in our hearts that allow us to take a new step each day. So many blessings and prayers dear girl. You’ve got this and we’ve got you … along with Jesus. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I found your channel last week and I’ve been binge watching you since! I love how genuine and incredibly hilarious you are! My favorite phrase is “taking it from turdy to purdy” 😂 God is doing amazing things through you. I’ve gone to church all my life. I gave my heart to the Lord at 11 years old. You have taught me so much about God’s unwavering love. You are doing amazing things! It’s hard not to listen to the noise of the world. God is covering you and keeping you. The enemy is mad with all the good you are doing for God’s kingdom and he uses people to not act right and say hurtful things. Blocking people is not mean. You are protecting your heart. That needs to be protected. I am so grateful you have Shane there to monitor. God blessed you with an amazing family. Thank you for your joy and all your love for God’s people. You are a rare gift.
Merina this is how you know you are doing God's work.By being obedient and living your life to the best of your ability.When you are being attacked it makes the devil mad and he tries his best to destroy anything you do that's right .So as the old saying says as long as he's after you he hasn't got you!None of the bad things that people have said to hurt you are not true.You are so special,kind and bring so much joy to all of us that truly love you!You will get your joy back it will just take time.Love and prayers to all of you!❤❤
@@patriciabonner7317 I should have said that as well in my original comment. Thank you for your comment. Merina nothing they are saying to you is true. They are all lies from the enemy to attack a truly gentle and genuine heart. We are all here for you. ❤️
Sweet dear Merina please don't ever think you aren't good enough and that the tragedy that happened to Binx, is any reflection whatsoever of the loving fur momma you are to those fur babies!! If you need to block hateful, mean, vindictive people...then do it, block them for your own preservation and sanity. You are so much better than that. That was the most loving tribute to Binx, and we all felt the love and hurt you are experiencing. Run free over the rainbow bridge Binx🐾🌈💔
Oh Merina...my heart hurts for you so much. I have prayed for you, and your family. My dear Merina. I lost my Australian Shepherd "Mystique", in 2019. If it were not for God and my beautiful Mini-Aussie "Cherish" (in my profile pic) I would not have made it. Dogs love us so unconditionally, and ask for so little in return. Kind of like you hon. I love you!
Oh honey, im so sorry. My heart hurts so bad for you. And im kinda in the same boat. My dog Harley is/was my best friend, a little over a week ago i lost my best friend. And she was only six years old as well. I thought me and my kids had so much more time with her. I thought she'd be around to see my oldest daughter graduate. But unfortunately God had other plans. A little girl came over and knocked at my door to play with my kids and Harley was at the door barking at her like she usually would, and she instantly passed away from having a heart attack. And it was instant. I just dont know how to get over it.
Selfishly I am glad that you told us what happened to your precious Binx, but I would have understood if you didn't. It's easy to critique others for what we feel are their shortcomings. Instead, this should be a reminder to all of us that behind that video is you, your family, and the daily life that you live. You should have some level of anonymity. We are so quick to stand in judgment of others. "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone." Binx loved all of you so much Merina. I am grateful he is with you on your land. This is another reason why your home is a blessing . I will keep you and your family in my prayers. 🙏🐕❤
Draw your line sweet girl!! The awful comments say more about their lives than yours! God gave you to UA-cam for a reason and I am so proud of you and Shane and your open, honest love of our Savior!!! Keep doing what God tells you and He will sustain you!!! RIP precious Binx!! 🙏🙏🙏
I'm sitting here in tears watching you, so sorry for your loss. I loved the picture collage you had in the beginning. Take care of you foe now. Take time off if you need it. Lean on Shane...
The sweater 😢 RIP Binx Howard. We will miss seeing you. I pray for you and your family Merina. Don't let the negative get to you. You are a strong very loved child of our living GOD.
Sorry your hurting, i have a 15yr old cat thats getting feeble, its hard. Girl!, ya GOTTA block the FREAKS. Keep doing what ya love, WHAT WE LOVE ❤️ Better days ahead Sis..... 🙏 ✨️
My heart is broken for you and your family. Binx was a beautiful dog. I am crying. Sending prayers to you and your family. Remember Jesus loves you. I love watching your videos. God bless you and your family.
I am so sorry for your loss! You are amazing!! Don’t let people pull you down which I know is easier said than done. People can be so very cruel. Just feel GODS arms around you and keep you close to HIM. HE will get you through this. Take care my friend! Love you and your family very much! Teresa
It’s hard when you lose a pet they are family. It takes a while but look at the positive about Binx. You gave him a wonderful life and a wonderful family. Please try to go to the happy place with Binx. It’s gonna take a little time. It’s important that you keep your mind busy. It gets better but Binx will always be in your heart.
First time viewer here, sister in Jesus. My daughter has been encouraging me to watch you, but when I saw this title I immediately started the Flosstube. Losing someone we love is so hard. When I lost my DaisyMae, I shoved so hard I was sure my very thought I was a fool. Daisy had herded and guarded my girls. They considered her their sister. I don't think I have ever stopped missing her. Sure, there have been other pups since. But none like her who slept at my feet every night, came up by my head only twice when I was very ill, and was so joyous at every occasion of laughter. God loves you and is right there beside you. You are so precious in His Sight. I am praying for you. See you again soon.
I have cried and cried with you. I knew when i saw the title i wasnt ready to hear this. I have experienced losing an animal just like this and the scream the came from me when i called my husband because i was the one who found my dog was some non human. I have procrastinated watching this two weeks because i knew i would cry the whole video. Love you rena and praying for yall in this hotrible time
Oh sweetie! My heart is hurting for you! I’m so very sorry for your loss. We all loved your sweet Binx, and can only imagine your heartache. Please don’t let ANYONE make you feel less than. You, sweet Merina, are beautiful inside and out. You are loved, supported and ENOUGH.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's taken me a while to get my mind right to watch this video. Just seeing the pictures knowing Binx was gone made me tear up. We lost a pup at 9 months old being neutered and had to get his tail docked because it got broken when he was still with his momma, and no one knew it. So the surgery would be longer. The little guy couldn't handle the anesthesia they worked on my baby for 45 minutes, and he's been gone for 6 years and I still misd him! You are not stupid. Binx is your 4 legged soul mate!!! I believe 100% when a dog finds their person its their true love! Merina you gave that dog a wonderful, full of love life! Whatever happened, however it happened was NOT your fault. Things happen no matter how awful they are, there is a plan for everything, everyone. Watching you grow these past 4 years has truly been an honor! You have definitely taught me a thing or 2. Like to be kinder, to be more patient, and to pray more than i probably ever have in my now 52 years and 11 months!!! So you, ignorant? By NO means momma!! You are the extension of Jesus, I am sure so many of us have needed and found! This community you have created all have your back. We all adore you and your family, you do what YOU need to do to get through this season of life. Sometimes it is ok to shut the door on negativity. You can still pray for them, but you dont have to let them in. I hope that as each week passes things get a little easier for all of you. You have so many other fur babies to adore and help ease your pain!! There is and will be comfort in that too! ❤❤
Sending you love and prayers, Merina and family. Love you guys so much. God bless each of you and may Binx Howard rest peacefully in Paradise. 🌈 🐕 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤ 🕊
You are the best Dog Mom. The love you feel for your pets is obvious. I am sorry that people are so unkind- you don't deserve it. You are a beautiful soul inside and out. Prayers for brighter days!
Oh my goodness, you are TRULY, truly a very good person, what I pray is that whoever kicked you while you were so very down realizes how WRONG they are, feel remorse and somehow find a way to be better people. 😢🙏❤️ Please know that you are good
So sorry Merina 😭❤️ rest in peace Binx. I just had to put down my soul kitty down 4 weeks ago and time does make things a little bit easier, thank god my child needs me and it keeps me together a little; but I am also utterly destroyed and different. It feels like I can't be myself right now. It's definitely part of grief. I'm so sorry you are in this place too.
One of the only things that got me thru the first few days were my online friends that I originally met when I was a cat Instagram page, sharing my sweet guy and his three cat siblings. They kept reassuring me how obvious it was that Carl was my whole world. He was only 9 when he died, he had cancer. It was really sudden and traumatizing and I wish we didn't have to feel this pain but it also shows just how much love we had in our hearts for these beautiful furry babies.
My heart goes out to you hun. It is so hard to lose a fur baby, please don't upset yourself thinking those questions if he heard you. He knew he was so loved by you and your family ❤❤
Oh honey… I am so sad to hear about your sweet Binx. I am keeping you in prayer for understanding and peace. You are so loved. Never say that you are stupid. You are wonderfully and awesomely created perfect in his image. One day at a time. We will be here when you are ready and slowly the sting will be softened. Grieve your pup.🐶
You are NOT stupid, you are NOT unlikable, you are NOT too loud, you are NOT too fat, you are NOT nasty, you are NOT weird, and there is no such thing as too happy!!! YOU ARE FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY CREATED!!! And you are loved by many!!! Please remember that!!! ❤ We love you and are praying for you all.
I totally agree with you, Merina is such a beautiful soul to share her life with us. I have followed her for several years and she has helped me so many times when I needed to hear her. I love her she feels like family to me. ❤❤❤
You said it best!! Amen. Please do not give up live your life. You and your family are all that matters. Promise me you will continue to be yourself forever. We all love you.
Ditto. My family watches her because we don’t have to worry if we need to sensor her or her family. Also the way she unapologetically loves Jesus inspires us to go out and be unashamed and watch what we say. The dance parties or random songs, the way they’ve grown together and with their skills and decided that they’d still be them and not change when channel blew up was awesome.
May God's Grace be with you at this very sad time in you and your family heartbroken.
I was ready to comment and say these same words. Marina, Please feel the love, the power of prayers, and we adore you!! Take your time and know we are here for you.
Marina I am 63 yrs old, I retired from a Gov. job working for the USGS for 30 yrs, and if someone had told me that watching some little trailer park women on youtube simply clean her house and do her laundry, and fix her home and make me laugh out loud, would become one of my favorite things to do, I would have told them they were nuts!! but HERE WE ARE..
Marina, enjoy all of us who love you, Shane, and your beautiful children. I even have my daughter watching you now.
We don't really need those who whisper jealousy, evil and self-doubt anyway, do we? I seem to remember something in a good book about listening to a brood of vipers,.. I will just leave that there for you to look up.
I am sooo sorry about Binx, but even loss is part of Gods plan, though we may not at the time understand the test of it.
Amen to all that, I'm 58 and I faithfully watch all videos they encourage me to get motivated and speak more to the Lord!
This, kellywilliams5112! I am a 67 year-old-retired professional who watches Merina and loves it- never thought I would- thank you, Merina.
I am a 64 year old retired woman who admires Marina and her family! Marina, your videos and your sweet heart bring me so much Joy! You inspire so many! Please do not let the evil one use people unkind words thwart you! I amn glad you are protecting yourself though. I will be praying for you daily as you heal from this tragic event! God is with you and your dear family!
Well Angel, looks like you cover the 60 age group pretty well, Im 63. We all relate to you so much. It is your intellegent, simple , honest, humble spirit. Your openess. God bless you, keep you and I speak the name of Jesus over your hurt and ache. Love you Darlin. Im so sorry for your trauma and pain. Prayers over you and yours.
This comment made me laugh. I remember stumbling upon this channel and wondering what the heck did I just find. Then I was hooked on this lovely family with big hearts. We're here for you! So sorry you are going through this. Prayers to your family, Merina!
Get em Shane! There is no excuse for people being unkind.
I'm with you on that, block them she doesn't need to see any of it ever again.
I totally agree!
Yesss! A real man protects and sticks up for his wife. That is being a Christian husband. Well done Shane.
Shane, I know you will protect your bride.💗 God bless you BOTH.💗GOD BLESS YOUR MARRIAGE.💗
Amen, Lori!!!💗
Dogs teach us how to love and how to grieve. I lost my first when I was 4, and now at 65, my old boy is 15 so I know I won’t have him much longer. He is my shadow and like your Binx, my confidante. Just remember you gave your Binx a great life, and he felt how much you loved him. I believe all dogs go to heaven, and you will see Binx there. I will be praying for you❤
Marina do not let nasty people talk down to a daughter of the King. The devil will do whatever he can to ruin your ministry and don’t let him do that. You are a special person and I love to watch you and your dear family. What a blessing that you have Shane to watch out for you. Prayers for you. God put a hedge of protection around these dear people during this time and mend her broken heart during this time to give her a smile back.
Prayers for each of you.
AMEN! This! 🙌🙏
Amen
No hate. Only love and understanding.Love your personality. Sorry about Binx
Amen!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Silent subscriber here. I have been following you for a few years now and I must speak up now. You Merina are the most beautiful human being on this earth. You have a beautiful soul. You are not stupid nor ugly. I do love you and your family which also includes your fur and feathered babies. It hurts to lose a close pet. I have been there. It will take time but you'll get there. Know that Binx is alive and well in Jesus's arms and he'll be waiting for you. Praying for you and your entire family. Luv U ❤
Amen!
Yes and Amen.
Amen 🙏❤️💪
Perfectly said.
Yes amen I agree
I will always think of Binx running around Heaven, playing with all of the other dogs and all of the children. Just waiting for the day he sees you again!! God Bless you and your family.❤
Yes ! All dogs go to heaven over that rainbow 🌈 🐾!!! Forever with us .
The Lord showed me a vision of a long haired daschund dog a few nights ago which may line up with the timing this happened to you. I, as is usually the case, didn't know in the moment why I was seeing what I was seeing and then I saw this video. Your baby is happy and very much alive in the only Kingdom that matters and that is the Kingdom of our Heavenly Father. I bless you and your family, and I pray this brings all of you a deep peace knowing Marina that you will see him again and that he is in the best hands. I never leave comments and I don't do this social thing lol but I feel the Lord connecting us for some reason. I see Jesus in you Marina. It's beautiful!!!! Sometimes I watch you just to hear you say "I love you but Jesus love you more". What HE is doing through you and your family is powerful. Keep your eyes on HIM.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I just shared with merina how my friend had a vision of my dad and his dog after he passed. OUR God is amazing!!!
What a beautiful comment❤… I’ve been singing that song to my pet for years “ mama loves you, papà loves you, Jesus loves you more, you’re an Angel sent from heaven. We love you”..
Your comment is also a message to me I needed to hear and to the world.
Thank you❤
Merina, you are not too loud, too happy, too fat or too much. You are a blessing, a light, a positive and beautiful person!! We love you. People who struggle with their own demons, project hate onto others. That is their struggle and not yours. You stand tall, follow god's calling and let your love and beauty shine through. That is what we are drawn to, that is what we love, that is why you are fearfully created!! God Bless you and your beautiful family xxx
I wish I could like this so many times!! Perfectly stated.
Beautifully spoken!
This is so true
Exactly THIS! From all of “your people”… we love you and your family and continue praying for you. ❤
THIS!🙌🏻
Merina. It is a privilege for us to be able to share this space with you. I am a pastor's wife (and pastor's kid). I have had to learn to guard my heart and my life. Sometimes folks are just hurt and miserable. But they do not have to speak that hurt and misery into my life or yours. There is nothing wrong with setting boundaries in your space and in your life. I also commiserate with you as a country girl. I was raised on a farm and in the country. It is obvious from some of the comments I have read that there are a lot who are extremely ignorant about life with animals. Sadly, it comes with loss as well as great freedom, and joy. You and Shane are doing an incredible job with your babies and your animals. Give yourself some grace. We love you.
Yes. I feel like social media has made miserable people come out of the woodworks. I am a stay at home mom who would love to start a channel as a creative outlet, but I know 100% that I couldn't handle any criticism. People really need Jesus to soften their hearts and realize that real people are in front of the camera.
Bless you lady! I am a PK too and I don't think I have it in me to be a pastors wife! 🤣😂 I still serve in ministry under my dad. Being in a ministers family is rough!
Amen!!! Guarding our hearts and mind in Jesus takes work it's hard setting boundaries. A very hurtful lesson to learn. Been there many a time.
@@erikastanger7848Yep and when you start talking about God, that’s when you really get attacked. When you’re in the “public eye”. I had people stalking me, harassing me, gaslit, oppressed, persecuted (No joke), witches and warlocks who do black magic to harm others, Sit Outside My House, Day and Night. Spiritual Attacks, etc. Even tried to kill me. Luckily I’m Still Here because GOD. 🙏 ❤🎉😊
So well said!!
Grief is the price we pay for love, my friend…Queen Elizabeth said that. God bless Binx….🐾🌈 Love you, Merina….stay strong.❤
I have heard that and I am having it engraved on my headstone. ❤
Queen Elizabeth was a very wise woman. Grief is the price we pay for love. Memories of the ones we love are the solace for our souls.
We have a halo collar for our dogs. You set the perimeters and gps beeps them when they come close to the barrier and they run right up to the the deck . It was developed by the dog whisperer…Caesar Milan. It has worked so well for us being in the country with no fence. I’m so sorry for your loss. Please don’t let rude people break your heart even more. Love❤❤❤ I’ve are currently grieving the loss of my one and only grandchild who died of leukemia. Grief is overwhelming…. But God.
You gave Binx the best life he could have had on this Earth, and his passing had nothing to do with what actions you took or didn't take. It was out of your control. Please know that we love you
My heart is broken for your loss. As a dog mamma I can completely relate to the unending love you have for Binx. You have the strongest faith I have ever seen. Let Jesus carry you through this difficult time. I am praying for you and your family for your loss. 😢
He’s running around in Heaven now!!! So sorry that you and your family are dealing with the loss of Binx. I know how hard it is. Just know you have 120,000 friends here on UA-cam and we all wished we lived nearby. I will say a prayer for you tonight! Much love and a big hug!
Animals aren't created for heavenly life, but they are created for our enjoyment.
The Bible teaches that out of all the creatures on earth, only a limited number of humans will go to heaven. (Revelation 14:1, 3) They go there to rule as kings and priests with Jesus. (Luke 22:28-30; Revelation 5:9, 10) The vast majority of humans will be resurrected to life on a paradise earth.-Psalm 37:11, 29.
There is no mention in the Bible of a pet heaven or dog heaven-and for good reason. Animals cannot take the steps needed to qualify for “the heavenly calling.” (Hebrews 3:1) These steps include taking in knowledge, exercising faith, and obeying God’s commands. (Matthew 19:17; John 3:16; 17:3) Only humans were created with the prospect of living forever.-Genesis 2:16, 17; 3:22, 23.
To go to heaven, earthly creatures must be resurrected. (1 Corinthians 15:42) The Bible mentions a number of resurrections. (1 Kings 17:17-24; 2 Kings 4:32-37; 13:20, 21; Luke 7:11-15; 8:41, 42, 49-56; John 11:38-44; Acts 9:36-42; 20:7-12) However, every one of them involved humans, not animal
Amen
Merina, people dont hate you, they hate themselves. Otherwise they'd never treat another as you've been treated. Know you are dearly love by many. I wish i lived close. The world needs more Merina and family in this world. You are beauty in an often ugly world. Sending you love, prayers, & virtual hugs.
Grief is grief in all forms. This sweet fur baby is family. You take as long as you need to grieve. As pet owners we all still grieve our babies. So much love and hugs your way, sweetie.❤❤❤❤️
"May the joy of the Lord be your strength."
Binx was a very special fur baby. I pray that your grief will not last long & the sweet memories of Binx be with you always.🐕💙
I am so very sorry. God Bless you and your family.
Prayers of comfort !
Well said. Amen
Cherish memories and pictures or maybe make a memories book about Binx❤️❤️
My heart breaks for and your family. I gave 6 dogs and have lost 4 in the last 8 years and it never gets easy. My 6 dogs mean the world to my husband and I. We do not think of them as "just dogs". They are our family, our babies who love us so much and we love them so much. They are so much a part of us! My 4 little dogs I lost over the last 8 years still grieves my heart. I understand that you will never get over losing Binkx and you know you don't have too! We just don't stop loving someone because they have passed. Last week my x husband passed away. We have known each other for 55 years. We were divorced 40 years but we're still friends. We shared 2 sons and 4 grandchildren. I miss him and can not believe he is gone. I love my husband with all my heart, he is my soul mate but I still grieve the lose of my x husband. When people and animals have been a part of your life, your day, you just do not forget them. May Jesus hold you in his arms and may you feel His love, His peace and know how much He Loves You and Jesus knows how it feels to loose someone we love!
Shane take care of our sweet Merina!!! ❤.
Love you Shane. You are one of the best husbands and Daddy’s ever. Love you and your family. But Block anyone who would send anything nasty to our sweet Marina. She is very special, beautiful and faithful. ❤️❤️
🧡🧡🧡 I screamed a hair raising scream too, the night that my favorite sweet precious small dog ran across our street to chase a big stray dog, and I called his name in panic to protect him from the big dog, and because I called his name, he came running back toward me, back into the street and was instantly hit by a car. A bunch of us were outside and I ran into the street in front of cars to stop them from running over his body, thinking he might still be alive. I picked him up in my arms. I wont tell any more of the story. I lost my little Chofi. It's been a few years now. Now his brother, Chapito, has become my sweet companion, and we have their mother Lulu, and her newer puppy La Chilindrina "Chilly". My neighbors still hear me scream like crazy when one of the dogs darts into the street occasionally.
BLOCK THEM STUPID PEOPLE.......THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO EVEN WATCHING YOUR PAGE OR COMMENT ON IT. YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL FOLLOWING AND POSITIVE LOVING PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE HERE AND WATCH YOUR CONTENT, WE LOVE AND YOUR FAMILY AND ALL YOUR FUR BABIES REST EASY BINX WE LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU 🙏❤🌈
Well said!!! People are jealous and will say the meanest things just to get noticed ...
I've been around for a few years and will never understand why people dislike you. You are the rare sunshine that most people need in their lives. Protect your heart. 💚 we will be here whenever and however you wants us to be. Binx is an amazing friend. God knew you needed him.. he fulfilled his role here on earth. Jesus called him home. 💚💚
Dark people hate the light. Because in that light, they see how ugly they are. It kills me that people are so awful to Merina. She is such a beautiful blessing to us all.
Amen
Binx Howard with the softest , most beautiful eyes… he sure loved his family didn’t he? He was the best friend to you, never judged and just loved . He was and is so loved and we all sure will miss him so much! Thank you for letting us get to know Binx. He was a true gem! ❤. So very sorry for your families huge loss!
Merina, Those dogs would've got to Binx no matter what you did. I'm 62 and I've lived long enough to see dogs that way. Binx had to best life of any dog I've ever seen. He was so happy and lived more in those 6 years than most dogs live a lifetime. I love you and you take care of you, please.
THREEE MINUTES IN AND I'M BAWLING MY EYES OUT!! MARINA, YOU ARE CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE ,SO, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! PLEASE STOP CUTTING YOURSELF DOWN!! I'M NOT YELLING AT YOU, I'M TRYING TO GET YOUR ATTENTION!! I'm so so sorry about Binks. Such a sweet cute puppy baby!!
May Mr. Binx Rest In Eternal Sunshine and Happiness, Forever.🕊️
I lost my Dad last year. A very kind Aunt informed me of a precious saying. When you love big. You grieve big also. You cry all you need to. Sending lots of hugs and prayers. 😢😢
I'm sorry for your loss! I lost 3 dogs at each in separate incidents. My 1st was due to old age. My 2nd started having seizures before I lost her. The 3rd was attacked by something when let out to go to the bathroom. So I get it!
Oh, sweet girl, my heart is breaking for you. Please allow yourself time to grieve. Lots of people don’t understand why we love our animals so much and think we are foolish when we cry over them but love is love. There is no doubt that Binx loved you too and I know all the what ifs and the traumatic way that he passed will haunt you. Try to not let your mind and thoughts go there. I have no doubt that your baby boy is healthy and whole sleeping on the laps of angels in Heaven. You will find your joy again. You are full of too much of it for it to completely disappear. We all love you and will wait as long as it takes for you to return to the talented, SMART, giving, Merina that we have all grown to admire. Prayers of comfort and strength for you, my “friend”!
Could not have said it better!!
Marina, they don't hate you honey, they're envious of you and your happiness and the fact that you can smile through most trials and they can't. I am so very sorry about sweet Binxie, my heart breaks for you and your sweet family. God bless and keep you all in his warm embrace. 🙏 ❤
AMEN!!! ❤ That is the truth
Amen!! I agree
Marina, your struggle is not against flesh but against spiritual forces. Jesus's light shines so brightly in you. This is what the lost of our world hate. But, it is what they need. Jesus will carry you through this and he will be glorified by your testimony. We can overcome all things through Him. I love you my sister in Christ and I am praying for you and your family daily.
I am so sorry....it's hard to be a fur baby mama....they aren't with us long enough. All you can do is love them all you can while they are with you and know you did all you could to give them a good life. Just know that fur baby is running wild in heaven as we speak and will be there to greet you when your time comes. As far as ugly comments....pray for those ignorant people....they know not what they do. You do you....that's why people watch you. You have such a beautiful soul....it shows. Don't let negativity color your life. Sending love, prayers and hugs.
I've always had the opinion that, God gave us dogs so that we could know and understand true unconditional love. This is why it crushes our soul when we lose them. Love you, Merina...love you. 😢 Binxy Howard The Goodest Boy. ❤️
Very much agree with you! 💗
❤️❤️❤️

Binx Howard, You will forever be missed you beautiful puppy
You do NOT sound stupid ever, ever, ever. Anyone who has ever felt loss can understand completely. I love y'all. Girl I would not be apologizing to anyone for blocking tail holes. Let that finger have her freedom, block block block !!!!!! And the tribute to binxy was so sweet and I cried my head off through this whole video along with you. Love you sweet girl 🙏🌸
I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m so sorry that people have been treating you rotten. You are a great woman. People are jealous because you have a wonderful family. You are happy and genuine. When people have a sad pathetic life they feel better trying to knock nice people down. Please don’t let them get to you..
Shane please put rocks over the grave, unless he is buried deep the coyotes might disturbe him and Merina's heart would be even more broke. I am so sorry about Binx Howard and worried about the other littles.
Yes ❤ thank you
Yes, that could place their other animals at risk of attack too...
Binx always had that tail going. So precious. I’ll miss him.
Such a cutie he was🙏
Yep, I'm crying... He's so beautiful. Those eyes. ❤ I totally believe animals have souls. Binx is still with you and your family. You just can't see him.
I lost my Black Schnauzer, Milo a couple months ago. He was 10 and was very traumatic.
Sweetie, Binx is with you and your family. 🫂💚🙏
Condolences to you as well
I completely agree. I believe animals have souls. Binxy is still with Merina and will always be with her. I am so sorry for your loss, as well. I lost my special Peanut 4 weeks ago and am still struggling with it. I know how hard it is to lose a special fur baby. My prayers are with all who lose theirs. 🙏❤️

Oh Merina please don’t stop your ministry on UA-cam. You are one of my favorite contributors and when you get filled with the Holy Spirit you are dynamite! We grieve Binx with you and will miss his sweet face. Take the time you need and know that we love you and your sweet sweet family!
Shane I'm SOOO happy you are protecting our sweet girl!! Tell the bullies to take a long walk. Give her lots and lots hugs for us
Girl grief is something that NO ONE can tell you how to walk. You walk this journey however you need to! We love you so very much!!!
Im so sorry that you lost you fur baby. I love you and your family. You are such an inspiration for people.
My heart is broken for you all. Fur babies give us our most precious memories fly high over the rainbow Binx xxxxx
Some lives may not be human, but they leave an impact far bigger than a human. Your Binx was one such being. I extend my deepest condolences to Binx’s demise. We're continuing to pray for y'all
I am so sorry prsyers sweetfriend😢
Amen❤🙌🏼👑💕
Sorry for your loss
My sincere condolences. Prayers for your family. Our furbabies are a huge part of our lives. God Bless. 🙏
I love you and I’m so proud of how you’re handling this. I think you’re amazing and you need to do what is best for you and your family. God bless you all. Binks is still with you ❤️
You are breaking this mommas heart. You are not stupid, you are not too much, you are not too loud. You mean so much to people and honestly are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for always motivating me to move and do better.
New here… and a fellow long-haired weenie mama… I don’t have the words to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. Angus (my Ween) was the pup I got after our border collie passed from cancer. I truly believe God sent him because he has healed parts of our heart that I did not know felt impossible to heal after losing a fur baby. Our Weens are incredibly special and one of a kind animals. Praying for healing over your broken heart. From one weenie mama to another, I love you and again, so truly sorry for your loss.
Don’t ever listen to the fools on here that sit behind their keyboards blaming you and talking smack. You gave that dog more love and care than anyone could have. 🙏🏼🥰❤️
I never comment on videos but I feel compelled to put this out there…
Your videos and your grace with the ugly side of social media is straight from Jesus. Loosing a soul animal changes a person like nothing else. To then have ugliness thrown at you when you’re hurting is unconscionable! Protect your peace, especially while you’re grieving. I hope that these boundaries stay. You’re such an amazing woman and shouldn’t have to deal with that side of people, especially strangers on social media. I will miss seeing the joy of your fur babies but we as viewers have no right to those aspects of your life. I look forward to each of your videos as you let your quirky self shine through on each and every one of them! We don’t need any more filtered and censored cookie cutter creators. This world needs more fearfully created! ❤
Merina, you did everything you could have done. You gave Binx a wonderful life. He was a very happy furry family member. You and the rest of your family will be in my prayers.
I’m so sorry you are going through this. You have a beautiful heart. Praying for those who hurt me always sets my heart in the right place and helps me get past it. It’s so hard at first, but gets easier with each prayer. ❤
I don’t think I have ever commented on one of your videos before, but I watch every single one of them. Marina, it breaks my heart to see you so sad and to hear about Binx, but it absolutely shattered my soul to hear you say those terrible and completely untrue things about yourself. You are beautiful, talented, smart, joyful, and kind hearted. The devil likes to mess with us and give us false perceptions of ourselves. That you can see anything but absolute amazingness when you look in the mirror is proof of that. God created you just how you are for his purpose. You get on these videos, and you give people like me hope. You spread his word, sing his praises, and lead people to him in ways that a church never has before, at least for me. You are WONDERFUL. I am praying for you FRIEND. You are so loved, and I hope you are able to find some comfort soon honey.
I cried😢 thru this viedo bc I truely know your pain. 6months ago I tragically lost my first fur baby of 18yrs & didnt get to say goodbye. When I lost him the grief was unbearable. After his death I had realized that my dog had become my emotional support. He had been there for me thru all of my grandparents death and a lot of ups and downs. My husband worked on the road alot and my fur baby was my bed buddy too. My kids went off to college & the military and my fur baby even got me thru the beginning stages of being an empty nester.
With that said, please know, you will forever miss Mr Binx Howard but the pain does get better with time. The key to the healing process is to allow yourself to grieve, and it will look different as the days go on but just go with it. Im 6 months out & its much easier. What also helped me is I buried my baby under our oak tree in our front yard. Made him a grave with a night light that shines. From time to time I go sit with him and chat...it helps. I made a photo dog blanket of him & sleep with it. I probably will never get another inside dog bc no dog will ever have my heart like my baby did. We will forever miss Mr Binx Howard❤ He was full of love!! Sending prayers🙏
PS: DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF, IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT...IT WAS A FREAK ACCIDENT!! I was in the same situation but I realized...it was his time to go home. He had fulfilled his purpose in my life. And I turned my grief into greatfulness GOD gave me 18yrs with him🙏
I am so sorry. I would never wish this on anybody
I'm
You’re not stupid, unlikable, ugly, fat, etc. Shame on those people! You’re a beautiful kind person who is loved by so many. Don’t ever dull your sparkle Merina. We love you so much! ♥️ I don’t always comment but I never miss a video. You’re one of my favorites. Always feels like I’m sitting with a friend talking when watching your videos. Take all the time you need to grieve, you need it 🫂🙏🏻♥️
Oh honey I am so sorry for the loss of your precious baby. 💔 You have such a sincere sweet and gentle spirit. People are mean. They see that in you too or they wouldn't be watching. xo
You need to consider filing a police report if you haven't. These bigger dogs that continue to come on to your property are so very dangerous and they will eventually go after your children or neighborhood children.
That man knew who that dog belong to and proceeded to put his little body in a bag over the fence. Shame on him. What kind of human does that. Why didn’t he go over to Merina with him.
@@dianeA1320 I'm talking about the initial big dogs that came on to her property. It sounds like it's 2 different sets of dogs.
I hope she sees your comment because u are right! She has mentioned that these dogs are always coming on her property. I know she said she doesnt blame those dogs but that guy should have known better than to just bag binx and hope no one came looking for him. 😢
@dianeargentino4955 he didn't know who it belonged too..
Not everything needs police to get involved. This was just a bad accident that could happen to anyone. Any dog will get territorial in their own fenced in area, and another dog getting in that fence is unfortunately going to get hurt. Poor little buddy.
Sweetheart, those people who comment those horrible things about you are insecure about themselves and are reflecting that on you. It is not you that they hate it is themselves. Don’t stop being you! You are you and you are one of a kind! I am so sorry about you losing your baby. You are wounded and broken and it will take time for you to heal and recover. I am an old woman who has been through a lot. You will be okay. You will always love your baby and your heart will always feel the pain but it will be less. I have 7 rescue dogs and 1 pitiful Pittie! I am a woman farmer so I know how you feel about your chickens also. People can be ignorant and cruel so sometimes you just need to overlook them! I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Know you have a friend in Tazewell,TN.
Precious lady, thank you for sharing your sweet Binx with us. I have no words other than you are in my prayers! 😘
I am so, so sorry for you, your family and most of all Mr. Binks. The fence is a great idea. I've learned no matter what defenses you have in place to protect you pups the best defense is always being outside when they are. This is absolutely heartbreaking.💔💔💔
There's always going to be haters. You secure in the Lord so let him envelope you and protect you from the horrible haters.
I just loved Mr Binx Howard! I’m so very sorry
Lord, I lift up this sweet sister…heal the broken pieces of her heart. Restore joy supernaturally! Keep her in perfect peace as her mind is stayed on you for she trusts in you. In Jesus Name, Amen! ❤❤❤
Hun you are WONDERFUl KIND LOVING Woman of God!!!! You are a Daughter of a Mighty King!! Never think bad of yourself!! I love your personality!!! Losing a pet is hard!! It toke time for me to get better over losing a pet!! I pray for peace over your mind and family going through this loss!!! Sending Love!! Love ya girly!!
We lost our son March 3 he was 44. Last week we had to have our 18yr. Old dog down. My heart is torn apart. I can only get by knowing God Is in control. ♥️
Praying for you .🙏
❤🙏🏻
💔so sorry for your losses . May God reign comfort down on your family .
So sorry for both your losses. You are in my prayers. I cannot even imagine such a double loss. I’m sobbing right now.
Sending my love and prayers❤
I don't think anyone hates you. I think they hate themselves and it makes them feel better about themselves if they hurt you. Like you said, hurt people hurt people.
Yes, you are a little rough around the edges but you are a sweet, wonderful person. I'm not even a Christian but I find you to be the essence of what a Christian should be.
Also, I know you blame yourself but it's not your fault about Binx. I can tell you though, from experience, the pain will get better but never go away completely. 30 years ago, I accidentally caused my 2 dogs' death. I grieved for years and hated myself and blamed myself for years. Now if I start thinking about it, I will still start crying but most days, I don't think about it anymore. I am sad you won't share about your pets anymore. I'm such an animal lover, I really enjoy seeing them in your videos.
Merina, you are so loved by the world whether you realize that or not. God blessed each of us when he brought you here and your complete love and devotion for your family and pets is a beautiful witness to see. I know the love of a pet and how empty our lives become once they move on. It’s the memories and love we hold in our hearts that allow us to take a new step each day. So many blessings and prayers dear girl. You’ve got this and we’ve got you … along with Jesus. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I found your channel last week and I’ve been binge watching you since! I love how genuine and incredibly hilarious you are! My favorite phrase is “taking it from turdy to purdy” 😂 God is doing amazing things through you. I’ve gone to church all my life. I gave my heart to the Lord at 11 years old. You have taught me so much about God’s unwavering love. You are doing amazing things! It’s hard not to listen to the noise of the world. God is covering you and keeping you. The enemy is mad with all the good you are doing for God’s kingdom and he uses people to not act right and say hurtful things. Blocking people is not mean. You are protecting your heart. That needs to be protected. I am so grateful you have Shane there to monitor. God blessed you with an amazing family. Thank you for your joy and all your love for God’s people. You are a rare gift.
Welcome hun! Enjoy our Rina she is a blessing
Merina this is how you know you are doing God's work.By being obedient and living your life to the best of your ability.When you are being attacked it makes the devil mad and he tries his best to destroy anything you do that's right .So as the old saying says as long as he's after you he hasn't got you!None of the bad things that people have said to hurt you are not true.You are so special,kind and bring so much joy to all of us that truly love you!You will get your joy back it will just take time.Love and prayers to all of you!❤❤
Sorry that should have said none of the bad things were true.
@@patriciabonner7317 I should have said that as well in my original comment. Thank you for your comment.
Merina nothing they are saying to you is true. They are all lies from the enemy to attack a truly gentle and genuine heart. We are all here for you. ❤️
I pray The Holy Spirit comforts you like only HE can! You are precious and you are so loved!
Sweet dear Merina please don't ever think you aren't good enough and that the tragedy that happened to Binx, is any reflection whatsoever of the loving fur momma you are to those fur babies!! If you need to block hateful, mean, vindictive people...then do it, block them for your own preservation and sanity. You are so much better than that. That was the most loving tribute to Binx, and we all felt the love and hurt you are experiencing. Run free over the rainbow bridge Binx🐾🌈💔
Oh Merina...my heart hurts for you so much. I have prayed for you, and your family. My dear Merina. I lost my Australian Shepherd "Mystique", in 2019. If it were not for God and my beautiful Mini-Aussie "Cherish" (in my profile pic) I would not have made it. Dogs love us so unconditionally, and ask for so little in return. Kind of like you hon. I love you!
Oh honey, im so sorry. My heart hurts so bad for you. And im kinda in the same boat. My dog Harley is/was my best friend, a little over a week ago i lost my best friend. And she was only six years old as well. I thought me and my kids had so much more time with her. I thought she'd be around to see my oldest daughter graduate. But unfortunately God had other plans. A little girl came over and knocked at my door to play with my kids and Harley was at the door barking at her like she usually would, and she instantly passed away from having a heart attack. And it was instant. I just dont know how to get over it.
Selfishly I am glad that you told us what happened to your precious Binx, but I would have understood if you didn't. It's easy to
critique others for what we feel are their shortcomings. Instead, this should be a reminder to all of us that behind that video is you, your family, and the daily life that you live. You should have some level of anonymity. We are so quick to stand in judgment of others. "Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone."
Binx loved all of you so much Merina. I am grateful he is with you on your land. This is another reason why your home is a blessing . I will keep you and your family in my prayers. 🙏🐕❤
Draw your line sweet girl!! The awful comments say more about their lives than yours! God gave you to UA-cam for a reason and I am so proud of you and Shane and your open, honest love of our Savior!!! Keep doing what God tells you and He will sustain you!!! RIP precious Binx!! 🙏🙏🙏
I'm sitting here in tears watching you, so sorry for your loss. I loved the picture collage you had in the beginning. Take care of you foe now. Take time off if you need it. Lean on Shane...
I cant watch this without crying. 🐾💙
The sweater 😢 RIP Binx Howard. We will miss seeing you. I pray for you and your family Merina. Don't let the negative get to you. You are a strong very loved child of our living GOD.
I'm sending hugs, love, and prayer for healing. Binks was a beautiful, gentle soul.
Sorry your hurting, i have a 15yr old cat thats getting feeble, its hard. Girl!, ya GOTTA block the FREAKS. Keep doing what ya love, WHAT WE LOVE ❤️
Better days ahead Sis..... 🙏 ✨️
He had the sweetest eyes ,loved him .hes in doggie heaven ❤️
My heart is broken for you and your family. Binx was a beautiful dog. I am crying. Sending prayers to you and your family. Remember Jesus loves you. I love watching your videos. God bless you and your family.
I am so sorry for your loss! You are amazing!! Don’t let people pull you down which I know is easier said than done. People can be so very cruel. Just feel GODS arms around you and keep you close to HIM. HE will get you through this. Take care my friend! Love you and your family very much! Teresa
It’s hard when you lose a pet they are family. It takes a while but look at the positive about Binx. You gave him a wonderful life and a wonderful family. Please try to go to the happy place with Binx. It’s gonna take a little time. It’s important that you keep your mind busy. It gets better but Binx will always be in your heart.
First time viewer here, sister in Jesus. My daughter has been encouraging me to watch you, but when I saw this title I immediately started the Flosstube. Losing someone we love is so hard. When I lost my DaisyMae, I shoved so hard I was sure my very thought I was a fool. Daisy had herded and guarded my girls. They considered her their sister. I don't think I have ever stopped missing her. Sure, there have been other pups since. But none like her who slept at my feet every night, came up by my head only twice when I was very ill, and was so joyous at every occasion of laughter. God loves you and is right there beside you. You are so precious in His Sight. I am praying for you. See you again soon.
I have cried and cried with you. I knew when i saw the title i wasnt ready to hear this. I have experienced losing an animal just like this and the scream the came from me when i called my husband because i was the one who found my dog was some non human. I have procrastinated watching this two weeks because i knew i would cry the whole video. Love you rena and praying for yall in this hotrible time
Blinks took the old part of you away to heaven. Only goodness going forward. Binx was a sweet pup. Sending love to you. ❤️
Oh sweetie! My heart is hurting for you! I’m so very sorry for your loss. We all loved your sweet Binx, and can only imagine your heartache. Please don’t let ANYONE make you feel less than. You, sweet Merina, are beautiful inside and out. You are loved, supported and ENOUGH.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am crying so much for thus sweet little boy!
Me, too 😢😭😥
He seriously felt like family ♥️
It's taken me a while to get my mind right to watch this video. Just seeing the pictures knowing Binx was gone made me tear up. We lost a pup at 9 months old being neutered and had to get his tail docked because it got broken when he was still with his momma, and no one knew it. So the surgery would be longer. The little guy couldn't handle the anesthesia they worked on my baby for 45 minutes, and he's been gone for 6 years and I still misd him! You are not stupid. Binx is your 4 legged soul mate!!! I believe 100% when a dog finds their person its their true love! Merina you gave that dog a wonderful, full of love life! Whatever happened, however it happened was NOT your fault. Things happen no matter how awful they are, there is a plan for everything, everyone. Watching you grow these past 4 years has truly been an honor! You have definitely taught me a thing or 2. Like to be kinder, to be more patient, and to pray more than i probably ever have in my now 52 years and 11 months!!! So you, ignorant? By NO means momma!! You are the extension of Jesus, I am sure so many of us have needed and found! This community you have created all have your back. We all adore you and your family, you do what YOU need to do to get through this season of life. Sometimes it is ok to shut the door on negativity. You can still pray for them, but you dont have to let them in. I hope that as each week passes things get a little easier for all of you. You have so many other fur babies to adore and help ease your pain!! There is and will be comfort in that too! ❤❤
Sending you love and prayers, Merina and family. Love you guys so much. God bless each of you and may Binx Howard rest peacefully in Paradise. 🌈 🐕 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤ 🕊
You didn’t owe us anything. I am glad you shared because I’ll be sending love.
Dogs know how to love the best!! So grateful you had him!
You are the best Dog Mom. The love you feel for your pets is obvious. I am sorry that people are so unkind- you don't deserve it. You are a beautiful soul inside and out. Prayers for brighter days!
Oh my goodness, you are TRULY, truly a very good person, what I pray is that whoever kicked you while you were so very down realizes how WRONG they are, feel remorse and somehow find a way to be better people. 😢🙏❤️
Please know that you are good
So sorry Merina 😭❤️ rest in peace Binx. I just had to put down my soul kitty down 4 weeks ago and time does make things a little bit easier, thank god my child needs me and it keeps me together a little; but I am also utterly destroyed and different. It feels like I can't be myself right now. It's definitely part of grief. I'm so sorry you are in this place too.
One of the only things that got me thru the first few days were my online friends that I originally met when I was a cat Instagram page, sharing my sweet guy and his three cat siblings. They kept reassuring me how obvious it was that Carl was my whole world. He was only 9 when he died, he had cancer. It was really sudden and traumatizing and I wish we didn't have to feel this pain but it also shows just how much love we had in our hearts for these beautiful furry babies.
Don’t give the Enemy a Seat At Your Table 🙏🏼🙏🏼 I have had to learn this the hard way ❤ you are amazing and a Child Of God 🙌
Amen!!!!
I'm so sorry about the loss of your precious Binx. Our pets are not just animals, they are our family. Praying for peace & comfort for you & family.
My heart goes out to you hun. It is so hard to lose a fur baby, please don't upset yourself thinking those questions if he heard you. He knew he was so loved by you and your family ❤❤
Oh honey… I am so sad to hear about your sweet Binx. I am keeping you in prayer for understanding and peace. You are so loved. Never say that you are stupid. You are wonderfully and awesomely created perfect in his image. One day at a time. We will be here when you are ready and slowly the sting will be softened. Grieve your pup.🐶
So sorry for your loss of Binx. I had no idea you had haters. I don’t understand their reasoning. I thought everyone loved you.
