      Sending ❤️ 🕯🕊 🪶 to you Jamie. I know how very devastating it is, but I know Sherpa is around you surrounding you with his love & comforting you in your grief. He is now comfortable, free of pain & disabilities, fully restored to his unique special Sherpie being, playing over the 🌈 bridge, & will be waiting for you when it's your turn with a hug, kiss & high 5 bump. I know you have felt him & smelled him & caught him out of the corner of your eye, & hope that continues to know he's there. Hard to not have him in the physical, but be totally at peace knowing you did absolutely all that you could & he knows & appreciates that forever. I feel the devastation as well, felt it was coming & just said prayers every time I checked that I wasn't going to see the end, & was hoping his specialist vet would have the answers, but with the tumors you know even if younger, would only buy some time & not comfortable quality time. Was the unselfish right thing. May you continue to sense him & see him also in different little ways that you know for sure it's him & ease your pain 💔 🌿 😢 🤍 Brenda H. Johnson City, NY, USA 🇺🇸 😘

I hope Jaime decides one day, when he's ready, to rescue a dog from a shelter. I've rescued a couple of dogs that were scheduled to be euthanized...they're the loveliest and in some way most appreciative dogs that just want someone to love them....a good remedy to help heal a broken heart.

    Sherpa was quite the dog! He was getting recognized whenever they went out in public. I know that Jamie was getting packages, letters, and emails from all over the world. However, I don't know if Jamie actually comprehended how much of an impact that he and Sherpa actually had in this world. Sherpa was a special being in this universe, and Jamie is more special than he knows. He gave all those years placing Sherpa's interests above all. He bought vehicles with Sherpa in mind. He bought a house with a large garden, so Sherpa had a place to patrol. He spent all those years taking care of Sherpa. Now, we, Sherpa's fans, will wait anxiously to see if Jamie will continue on UA-cam, either alone or perhaps he gets another dog and gives that dog a wonderful life just like the wonderful life that he gave to Sherpa.
    The only thing that I know to be true, is that I and I'm sure many others like me will be here and support Jamie if he decides to continue on UA-cam, either alone with "The Adventures of Jamie" or with another dog to carry-on Sherpa's legacy and memory. Whatever decision Jamie makes, I will be here to support him as a small way to say "thank you" for all the joyful memories that he and Sherpa gave to me and many of you as well.
    The memory, legacy, and impact that Sherpa had will live on in all of us who were touched by Jamie and Sherpa.
    Rest easy in heaven, my furry friend. Your place in heaven is well-deserved.

    I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

    I am the swift uplifting rush

    Thank you for your wonderful tribute to Sherpa. Your beautiful words have struck a deep chord. As someone wrote earlier the algorithm was algorithming. I've been a long term follower of Jamie and Sherpa from my little corner of the world here in Kingston, Jamaica. Like you, like many many others, we see our beloveds in this one man and his dog. We grieve for him, and with him. I have 12 precious woofs and each day I consider myself blessed, that the impending grief has been pushed back yet another day, another month, for another time. But indeed, it is inevitable that it will come. And our own time will come. Another line from a poem by Swinburne comes to mind..."I shall remember while the light lives yet, and in the night-time I shall not forget."

    UA-cam keeps recommending old Sherpa videos and every time that happens it's an emotional wrench. I wasn't aware that I'd become so attached. Probably as a dog owner all my life I can relate on a very personal level. I hope that Jamie takes on another dog and continues the journey, because at the end of the day the only cure for losing a companion animal is to find a new one. Grief is a perfectly normal reaction that never completely goes away, but it's important not to let it devolve into self pity.

    Theodore Dalrymple wrote an essay when his dog died, and he said that to adopt a dog is to knowingly sign up for heartbreak. The lifespan of a dog compared to a human makes it inevitable that we'll outlast them. But though we know it, dogs don't. They live every day with us, never knowing that there's going to be a last parting. They don't have any dread for the future, it's just a continual present for them. We can't escape the burden of our knowledge, but we can take comfort by accompanying our animals through their perpetually sunny present, living with them as if it's never going to end, they way they do.

      I never wanted a dog of my own so when I had the chance I volunteered to look after other people's while their owners were on holiday or in hospital. Then my Mum died and I took her dog Coco last December. She has changed my life for the better but I'm dreading the day she passes. She's already lived past expectations at 15. I worry all the time but now... I will think of it from her perspective. She can't see the end coming. She's just happy :)

    I have been watching Sherpa for a couple of years now. Since the first of the year I noticed a slow decline in Sherpa and could see what was coming as I have been there many times with my own friends. It saddened me for Jamie as he tried his best to make things better for Sherpa. His heart will be heavy for some time to come, but he made that decision despite how difficult it was for his love of Sherpa and not let him suffer. You are in my prayers Jamie not just now but for a long time to come.

We went along on the trips, the neighbourhood visits for treats, playing in the dog park with Sherpa, and his best friend Key. We stressed about vet appointments, were grateful for hydrotherapy, and just stopped and observed our beautiful Sherpa resting in his garden. We were touched by Jamie’s constant, loving care, always doing what was best for Sherpa. There will be a long line at the Rainbow bridge, as each of us wait to say hello to our beloved Sherpa again. Until then, love and light to all. 🥰

    I have had six dogs in this life and I have been most fortunate to learn something from each of them. Dogs are wonderful teachers. I have become a better person through knowing each of them. I realized I only work to live and the concept of living to work is not the greatest way to experience life. One needs to live in the present. Being There. Rather than rushing from point A to point B, one needed to smell the flowers, feel the breeze and listen to the sounds. Life would have been much less enjoyable without growing up and old with my dogs. I feel for Jamie as our fur-faced companions often become so central and integrated into our lives, it is hard to comprehend life without them.

    Greetings from the US! The algorithm was algorithming and brought me to you. I am not disappointed.
    8 years ago, I lost my dog, "Colby." I didn't think I would ever recover from the devastation of it.
    Well, one day, I came across someone who was selling Shih Tzu puppies. The same breed as my precious Colby. I immediately knew that one of these puppies was meant to be mine. They were born on the very day that I lost Colby. Now I have "Champ," and he is living his best spoiled rotten life with his cat sisters. The universe definitely knew what it was doing in this case.
    Big hugs and lots of love to you and Molly❣️

But, I cannot live without a dog. Six month later I saw Majik (flatcoat/golden mix), almost 8 weeks old, she looks like a black golden, on a rescue site. I still miss all the dogs I have had but Majik is the best, sweetest dog I have ever had. Having her in my life has helped me get over Sugar. There is always a puppy who needs a loving home.

      It's been 4yrs now and I haven't gotten another baby. However, it is always on my mind. I miss dog energy.

    I would like to thank you for this. I really needed to hear your message. My mom passed away in 2022 from cancer and losing my beagle in 2013.
    I also have been following Shepra and Jamie for a few years. Like many others, I am heartbroken.

      It is very sad. Jamie has lots of support. I hope it helps.

    I was so sad when Sherpa died. I cried through the whole video. Jaime is so lucky he has so many videos of him. I think that people are more afraid of death when they are young. As you age you lose many friends, relatives and animals. And then you are not as afraid of death because they are waiting for you in Heaven. Your little dog is so cute. Enjoy every second with her. I lost my little dog almost 6 years ago. I still miss him so much.

      I cried during and after Jamie’s video too about Sherpas passing. It made me remember my late angel babies and also key, his best friend. That made me tear up more and it was nighttime when I watched.

    You are a very wise man. Thanks for this post.
    Sherpa has been part of my routine for years and I have been missing and grieving for him like so many others Sherpa touched around the world.
    So glad I took the time to walk with you across your incredible landscape, under your incredible sky scape, listen to your simple and peaceful thoughts on life and death and how incredible Sherpa was, all spoken in that incredible accent.
    I feel better now.
    Thank you, sir. I hope we can walk together again some time.
    Peace and love to you from Florida, USA.☮️❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸
