Thank you so much!!! I'll for sure get them something special. 😃 Everything I make from KZfaq goes straight to them. It's amazing how God sends you things right when you need it most. Jake was a miracle for me. Right from day one. And Jake's half-sister Coco, I thought she was my soul mate in animal form, as crazy as that sounds. She got me walking miles. There's something really special about these guys, I don't know if it's the wolf in them, or maybe God just sent me the right animals at the right time. ❤️ 🐾

Those are such powerful experiences and beautiful to read and learn about. I so much appreciate your videos. I was blessed to have a dog to call a soul mate. Oddly, these fascinating animals can be a great catalyst for deeper understandings of our relationships to our own souls. Dogs/wolf friends, just dont have the type of resistance that humans do, to their own divine natures. I do truly believe that those who are kind to them, earn some kind of brownie points with the Universe.

He really is 😃 If it wasn't for him, I'd have never got Coco or Honey. They're truly all magic. There was a lot I left out of the story cause the video was getting so long. But Bob was originally only supposed to be a foster. They wanted him back after a year. I'd have said no, but they never came back for him. Thank God ❤️ 🐾

Angel on earth. Oh Bob. ❤️😇

It was really beautiful. Honey would curl up on Bob's thigh. She was so tiny. She didn't give him a real chance to warm up to her. It was gonna be right now in her eyes, and it worked. She was just what he needed. ❤️ 🐾

That's so true. If it wasn't for Bob, I'd have never gotten Coco or Honey. He's the magic glue that brings them all together. There's so much I left out. When I got Bob, they only wanted me to foster him for a year. I foolishly agreed because I didn't want him to end up at the pound. I thank God they never came back to collect him. I'd have told them no. He was so easy to fall in love with. They've really all changed my life for the better. They're each miracles straight from God. I love that God is dog spelled backward. 😃 ❤️ 🐾

Me too 😃 He's such a huge part of the pack. Honey wouldn't be the girl she is today without Bob. He's the best wolf trainer in town. ❤️ 🐾

That is a very sweet and kind statement.

We love to hear this so much. Some sadness but we love the care and love they all get.

We love this back story. ❤️

It's amazing how it all works out. 😃 Honey really saved all of us, but especially Bob. He's the glue that really brought us all together. ❤️ 🐾

@@bobandthewolfdogs I love all three of them

I think Jake looks and acts younger. 😃 Both Jake and Honey play like crazy in the backyard. Bob isn't as playful as Jake anymore. ❤️ 🐾

That's so awesome! I'd have loved that experience. 😃 I bet she thought of you as one of her pups, too. They're such amazing animals. ❤️ 🐾

Oh wow that’s an amazing story! The wolf lived so long too!

Thank you 😃 She really was. The minute she set eyes on him, she knew. She didn't give him a choice about loving her she just made it so. She'd curl up on his thigh so sweetly and lovingly every night like Bob was her little warm dog bed from day one. ❤️ 🐾

@@bobandthewolfdogs She knew she had a good thing going with Bob and her new Mommy.

Honey is so cute doing yoga ❤

They're all 3 little miracles. Jake probably saved my life, and Bob saved my heart. ❤️ 🐾

@@bobandthewolfdogs how so? If you don't mind me asking?

I was so shocked when he told me her birthday. 😃 It was my sign. He'd send me pictures of her every week, and I remember going through names and thinking she looked sweet as Honey. It's really Bob that brought me Coco and Honey. Thank God his depressions are short lived otherwise I'd have 50 of them. 😃 ❤️ 🐾

They really changed my life for the better. It's funny that it was Bob that brought Coco and Honey to me. He's the glue that really ties it all together. There was so much more I wanted to say, and I should have made an outline of their story so I could have utilized the time better, but then thought no, I'll just see what comes out.😃 I left out another part about Bob's story. He was originally supposed to be a foster. They wanted me to agree on letting them come back for him in a year. It was that or the pound. I foolishly agreed. They showed up every weekend for a visit for the first 3 months. At that point, I knew It would have killed me to give him back. They slowly stopped coming after that. Once the year came due, I was terrified they'd come calling. They never did, thank God. That trip to get Honey was crazy. I was gonna fly, but the airlines wanted me to shove her under my seat. I even asked if I could buy her a seat and kept her there, but no one at the airlines could tell me if that would be okay. I exaggerated a little bit on the 9 states, I drove through the corners of Utah, Iowa, and Arkansas, but we hit 9 of them. Those were the only 3 states we didn't try to desperately find dog parks in. I wanted to give Bob a place to run every day cause I could tell the car ride was not his favorite place to be. I should have filmed Honey at them. She didn't know what to think. I didn't realize how much change she experienced when we picked her up. She stayed outside in and out of her den until we got her. She experienced long car rides, a new hotel every night, strange creatures at the dog park, a leash, it must have been such a shock for her. ❤️ 🐾

​@bobandthewolfdogs That's crazy, they wanted you to shove her under your seat. I agree, it was on top, on the seat or, drive home, which you did. Thank God they did not come back for Bob. People are so shallow. But, it worked out for the better, 'cause Bob got the best mamma ever. Yes, dogs do change our lives for the better. They are everything... good and holy and deserve all our love.

Honey says, "Giant wolf puppy kisses for you!" ❤️ 🐾

I could do a series on the house destruction. 😃 I went out and bought some leather patches for the couch, I put the patches on the day before yesterday. Honey didn't like that one bit! 3 of them are now missing. ❤️ 🐾

It amazes me the power and effect they have on us. They're just pure unconditional love. ❤️ 🐾 🐾

I'm voting for Jake. My 🐕 🤴 he gets my vote!!

We love you too!!! ❤️ 🐾

That was the first time I was able to talk about her without crying. 😃 If it wasn't for Bob, I'd have never known Coco or Honey. He really is the heart and the glue that holds it all together. His depression gave me two giant blessings. ❤️ 🐾

@@bobandthewolfdogs Bob's such a good boy, never change ❤️❤️❤️

You're so kind 😃 Thank you! ❤️ 🐾

He's been through a lot. 😃 I'm so glad he's so happy now. ❤️ 🐾

No, Bob is all dog. Jake is 40% Mckenzie Valley wolf and Honey's an F-1 high content hybrid. She's got 7% German shepherd in her, but the rest is wolf. Trust me, that 7% makes next to zero difference. It's what allows me to have her legally. ❤️ 🐾

@@bobandthewolfdogs thank you for taking the time to respond, I was wondering how someone could have 100% wolf bc fr Honey looks so, but totally makes sense now 😅

@hollyinhell "Life is not fair ... but God is Good." Thank you for sharing a glimpse into your journey. I totally agree, our four legged family members should unconditional love, forgiveness, no grudges and defense of our two legged pack. Blessings. Don 🙏🤲🕊🤗

@@donalddodson7365 thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated. ❤️

I'm so glad you've got her. She's really been through it. It amazes me how much they can change and influence our lives for the better. It sounds like you've both been a miracle for each other. 😃 I get that mindset of being so angry and resentful for getting a disease. I was there too. It sounds like we're both stuck with incurable diseases. I wonder if there's any channels out there for cooking with Lyme disease. There was a bunch for autoimmune disease. I still deal with autoimmune disease, but I've not had year-long boughts of it anymore, thank God! ❤️ 🐾

Me too.

Bob's such a sweetie 😃 I left out the part on how his previous owners wanted us to foster him for a year. They showed up once a week to visit him for about 3 months. Then they stopped coming. It was still enough to stop my heart when the end of the year came. They never called or showed up. I wouldn't have been able to give him back. ❤️ 🐾

@@bobandthewolfdogs ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you!!! You just made my day. 😃 Honey's such a character and so easy to love. ❤️ 🐾

Yes, him too 😃 ❤️ 🐾 God bless 🙏

I agree Bob. I know you try hard to do your part. ❤❤❤❤❤

I want to read this book... I especially love stories about canines and about Wolves 🐺🌵🏜️

It was so funny because day before yesterday she was bossing him around like crazy. She had her tail tucked the entire time. I think she was nervous he'd get mad. So she was a chicken boss. 😃 ❤️ 🐾

Honey says, "Giant wolf puppy kisses for you!" ❤️ 🐾

@@bobandthewolfdogs oh giant wolf kisses to honey 🩵🩵💜💜

I went hard core crazy with my diet. 😃 I went vegan for almost 10 years, I do eat fish and chicken now. But I loaded myself full of as many fruits and veggies as I could. Tons of carrot juice, green smoothies that consisted of spinach, kale, vitamineral greens, a banana, and apple juice. Nut cheeses, which I still couldn't find one I loved, lol. And blueberries, lots and lots of blueberries. There's a bunch of KZfaq channels I really took advantage of for eating with autoimmune disease. I'd also mix turmeric, pepper, and a little oil in everything I cooked. It works just like advil without the side effects. I used to pop advil like tic tacs. After a year, I developed ulcers. I'm still looking for something that'll work for my back. My spines collapsing. Unfortunately for that I'm in pain management. My daughter is a dietitian, so that helped as well. ❤️ 🐾

@@bobandthewolfdogs thank you for your response. I understand how you feel...i am taking a lot of tylenols...its hard to live with pain. I see you seem to be doing better because of the healthy diet you eat...i hope it Will work for me too.Take care and be well

I love Cooper now 😃 I've got tears streaming down my cheeks. It never ceases to amaze me how God or the universe brings us soul mates, especially when we think it's the last thing we need. I'm so broken hearted to hear he's no longer with you. I lost one almost two years ago. It decimated my soul. I swear my Coco was my soul mate. I know soul mates are supposed to be people, but I think animals are as well. At least, they should be. 😃 She was only 3 years old and Jake's little sister from a later litter. She was 75% wolf and the most dog like wolfdog I'd ever met. One day, when we were walking in the woods, I noticed she had a slight limp.i had to double and triple check, but it was there. She had a vet appointment a week later for a cyst on her back. While she was under anesthesia, they x-rayed her leg. The vet thought it must have been a bruised bone or pulled muscle. 3 days later, the vet called and said her cyst was not cancer. I was so happy. She had to take it easy that week so the stitches could heal, but out of nowhere, her limp got 10× worse. I called the vet, and he thought i was nuts but agreed to see her in the morning. This time, they took an x-ray from another's angle. It was cancer in her shoulder. I called a vet oncologist that day. The next appointment was in 8 months, but they told me that if anyone canceled, they'd call me. We got in in 2 weeks, and by that time, the cancer spread to her chest and lungs. The oncologist said they never had a case that spread so fast. Normally, if you do nothing, you have two years. Coco only had two months. It was just awfully painful for her, and the cancer got so big in her shoulder that it ripped open. It was covid and a Friday night, and no one could see her for a couple days. That poor girl was such a strong trooper. I brought my mattress from my bed into my living room, and we slept together every night. I had to get up every 3 hours to give her medication for the pain. I still miss her terribly. When it's my time to go, I want her to be the first person I see on the other side. I think about her every day. She was the love of my life. ❤️ 🐾

@@bobandthewolfdogs I'm so sorry! I know exactly how you feel. Cooper died just hours before his next appointment and of course, it was on the weekend. I don't think it would have made much difference but the amount of pain he suffered!! because no one wanted to give him pain meds with steroids. The agony he went through will haunt me forever. All I could do was lie with him, like you, and let him know I was there. The tremendous amount of guilt I feel will never leave me. There's a large part of me that doesn't want it to. I feel like I should suffer as he suffered. I should have pushed back against being called a helicopter parent. I should have insisted they did more "unnecessary" tests. Dogs will hide their pain until they can't anymore; they don't slow down just because they age. Not all at once. I have a feeling Coco and Cooper would have been amazing friends. Cooper always thought he was a big dog, but he was also the dog who had butterflies and bees land on his nose, he was so gentle. I've seen some videos of your own beautiful girl and you can tell her personality was as huge as her heart. 1 and a 1/2 gentle giants to play together. Coco was such a good advocate for wolves/dogs that others are so irrationally afraid of (and so are you). Their care may be a somewhat different but any serious damage is probably the fault of their person. Something that education easily fixes...unless that person deliberately "feeds the wrong wolf." I honestly don't know what I believe in. Before Cooper (BC!😅) I was at minimum a skeptic. Now I see why religion can be so important to people. In the absence of our loved ones, to believe their soul just dries up and disappears is more heartbreaking than words can express. I've lost people before but -- being completely transparent -- it took work to mourn them. Sometimes families can be extremely toxic (Mom being the exception of course). I realize how lucky I am to have known such a beautiful boy and I try to only remember all the good things. The incredible journey we went on together! I'll never be the same, but maybe that's a good thing. Maybe our memories are all we get. But I will treasure every single one. Can I ask you, how did it feel to get another dog/wolf/canine? I sometimes think I want another, but knowing they won't be Cooper just shuts that down. Another dog would bring another journey but I'm so afraid of erasing the one I've had. Or conversely, applying what I've learned from Cooper to another dog might feel like a betrayal because these things weren't done for him. I've been in therapy before but there was a problem with the last one. It kind of soured the whole experience with me, at least for now. Thank you for talking about this with me. Mom tries hard but there are ways in which we're very different (and that's okay). She doesn't really know how to help. I'm not the most trusting person so there hasn't been anyone else to ask. But you've been exactly where I am now. I'm not happy for your suffering of course, but I'm so happy you're out there to take care of these wonderful creatures and give them such a loving home. It's wonderful that you share this with the rest of the world. Thank you for doing all this.💜

I really wish we had him all the time. 😃 He just went to my daughters last night, and Honey's so sad. Bob got a great break from her, though, and his limp is completely gone now. Although I know Honey will start jumping on Bob any minute as soon as she reverts back to normal. ❤️ 🐾

You just made my day! 😃 That's the best compliment on earth. They bring me so much joy, and nothing makes me happier than knowing they bring others joy as well. ❤️ 🐾

I let myself slip a little now and need to go back. But I went hard-core crazy vegan for 10 years. I just started eating fish and chicken again about 2 months ago. But it was a radical change. I stuffed myself full of as many nutrients as i could. I ate tons of fruits and vegetables. Lots of carrot juice, green smoothies, and blueberries. I got tons of help from KZfaq channels and even took a local cooking class on eating for autoimmune disease. It made a huge difference! I was in bed for almost a year. It was really bad. I got so desperate and saw every doctor and specialist out there. None of them mentioned diet, and it was the only thing that made a difference. I've always eaten for pleasure, whatever sounds good. I had to change that thinking to what's going to heal me. If it doesn't heal me, it isn't food. It's hard to get into that mindset, but once you do it, it gets easier. I've been spending my energy now on what's best for the pups. 😃 But I've got to start stuffing myself with those nutrients again. It really loaded me with energy. ❤️ 🐾

I'm so sorry you went through it, too. 😢 We fall so madly in love with them. Our poor dogs go through it, maybe even harder than we do. It's their best friend who they spend every minute with. I'm so glad you got the new puppy. It's a new ray of light, sunshine, and hope. It's a transition, for sure. I still cry when i think about Coco, but sometimes those tears turn into a smile when i think of some of the sweet things she did. ❤️ 🐾
