A pet companion can make even the most isolating situations feel so much better.

I think Ruby is saying “as long as I’m with you mom, I’m happy”! I’m glad she made it across the country safe and sound. Your new home looks very nice indeed. Congratulations. ❤️

She needed to get a feel of the situation and wasn't sure how long she would be. When she realized it was going to be for along period of time she got Ruby 😊 she would never think of abandoning her. She loves her very much and you can tell. Her son probably wasn't able to go cuz I'm sure he had responsibilities and Rowan was in NE for awhile.

Seeing you with Precious Ruby just melts my heart!

I am 47. I went from being a daddy’s girl and the baby of the family (the youngest of 11) to being married. We are going on 28 years now and very happy together. That being said, I have never done anything on my own. So proud of the strong, independent woman you are! You are living life on your terms and it’s a beautiful thing!

I'm so glad you didn't abandon poor baby Ruby for your spring break. She may only be PART of your life but YOU ARE HER WHOLE LIFE. NO ONE WILL EVER LOVE YOU LIKE SHE DOES OR BE AS LOYAL AS RUBY. Prayers for your family problem to resolve quickly and for the best

Hello sweet Rowan, I happened across your KZfaq channel just two days ago. Something about you & your story touched my heart. I find myself scrolling through your past videos to learn more about you. Today I watched your videos on the poems you write. You are very talented indeed. They all spoke to me, especially the one called Angel Terrain! I shed tears with every word. I am 75 yrs young, and have seen & been through a lot in my years, and also wrote poems along the way. There were no computers in my day, but every so often I dig out out that old shoe box and have a wander down memory lane. It really touches my heart to see how far I have come. I hope that you will continue to write and look back often at your earlier writings, as you give yourself and others so much insight & inspiration. Keep looking forward and reaching for those goals you have set for yourself. If you believe you can do it, you will. I have faith in you! Sending lots of love & hugs to you and precious little Ruby💕🇨🇦

Ruby is just so stinkin’ cute! Her name totally fits her because she’s a precious little gem.

Awww, you needed a Ruby and she needed you! She’s so adorable! Her eyes are so expressive and I was loving how she is literally hugging you.🥰 Congratulations on your new home too. Prayers for you and your family.🙏❤️

She missed you….. she was so happy to see you

Nothing like a pet. Life-changing. I don't have a dog now. I have a yr old jet black cat named Onyx. I rescued her when i was at an all time low at 73 yrs old. She saved my life. I'd like to think i saved hers too. I love her with all my heart. I'm so glad you have Ruby! She's precious.

Awwww, she's so happy to be back with her mommy. Love seeing how you started your new van build, and so love your finished home. ❤

Hi Ro and Ru❣️Girl, you can tell she is so grateful to be back with her mom. Makes my heart happy Rowan. Hugs.

Oh, that puppy tummy! 😍 Making blurps on puppy tummies is the best. I'm really looking forward to your new build. Take care of yourself and your family.❤

I enjoy your videos because of your gentle voice and positive comments. Life isn't always easy but your great attitude uplifts mine. Thank you.

I love ruby. Thanks for taking care of ruby

Love Ruby..l am never alone. Dogs are family...love watching you and Ruby...take care

Thank you Rowan 🎉 Very nice update. Ruby is doing very well for her flying experience. 👏 They must've taken good care of her on the flight.❤ Looking forward to the build! I'm glad that worked out for you to get! Much better, more stretching out room. Especially on needed inside days. Sending light and love and healing/other energy your way. 🙏🙏🙏 You, Ruby and family be blessed ❤

Let me gimme to you an inspiration about Rubys food. You can add water to it, so she gets always enough. This "dry" food can dehydrate dogs, and with adding water to it, that can be prevent. A Veterinarian could know about that. You make me so exciting about, how you do your new van home inside! Love to hear, that "all comes together" also in a good way, and pray for your family all is going good as well. All the best 🙏❤🙏

She's a luv bug. Sweet cuddly baby girl Ruby!!!❤

looking forward to watching the van build and watching Ruby grow!

Hi Rowan & Ruby! I am a new subscriber from Ontario, Canada. I am so excited I got to see this video, in your new van, to pick up your baby, Ruby. She will be your best friend and companion for ever. Her loyalty will keep you safe. This is a new start, how fun is that and, even more fun is, we get to share it with the two of you. Looking forward to all your upcoming videos. Much fun, much happiness in all you do.

Good luck on your adventure. Ruby is so cute. I hope everything turns out well for you be safe. Take care of that little guy. ❤

Soooo glad to see you and Ruby back together again...not sure who was more excited you...or her! Looking forward to your van build. Im sure it will have a strawberry theme.

So glad to see you back. I've missed your updates!

Glad you're back, and happy you are OK. Exciting times ahead for you and lil Wuby-Woo! X

I found your channel a few weeks ago. I have been watching all your videos. So proud you have Ruby back with you. She was sure glad to see you. Can't wait to see your new videos. Good luck !!

Tint your windows on the driver + passenger side with uv protection if you can!! And soon!!! =) All that sun exposure. It adds up! You probably don't feel it on a day to day but very important imo. Congrats on your new "home" and getting Ruby back.

I'm so happy you went and got Ruby. What an angel she is.

She’s SO happy to have her mom back again, and she’ll make the new van feel like home very quickly! ✅ 💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾

Im so happy you have Ruby with you now! And congrats on your new van home,! Take care of yourself and your family. I am looking forward to seeing New England in the spring!

I just found your channel and I’m binge watching your videos! Your laugh makes me smile, which is something I haven’t done in months.

Ruby is so precious. I wish you well. I can tell from the tremble in your voice that the situation you're dealing with is going to be hard I am looking forward to your renovation. Ruby does a great job of lifting your spirits. What a love bug she is. I wish I could find an inexpensive older van myself.

Everyone loves a doggo! ❤ Can't wait to see your girls next adventure.

I'm so glad to see you again! Your videos bring me so much joy!

I’ve missed seeing you two, and I hope everything turns for the better for your family. Love the new van, and can’t wait to see how you arrange it. Love you and have also missed your cute giggles❤

I hope your parents are okay! It was so sweet when Ruby saw you! She sure loves her mama!

Rowan, I am so excited to watch how you convert the van. I too just purchased a similar sized van and I am feeling a little bit overwhelmed at the moment. (I have a janky bed in it and a little sink / cooking cupboard for the moment. Currently in paralysis lol) After seeing how cozy and clever your car build was, I feel like watching you is gonna be a great help seeing you work on something bigger. Are you gonna do a full out build or it is going to be more of a no build build? (No-build build would be more along my skill level hahahah) So curious! Also, I am so sorry you have unhappy reasons for all of this but Ruby is a little ray of sunshine and I am glad you have her. Support for those supporting is always important. 💕🌻

Congrats on the new home! Use it in good health! It's so sweet to watch your reunion with Ruby. Dogs are awesome. So is Meowser sitting back in WA saying, "what am I, chopped liver?!" LOL Best wishes to you and your family; I hope things work out smoothly. ♥

We are nothing if not flexible. This is a purpose of love for you, Ruby and your family. You are supported by your van life friends.

I am so glad you were able to get sweet Ruby back with you. Our furbabies really do help us through hard times. You can tell she sure loves you soooo much. Praying for your family. 🙏🐾❤️

I am so sorry this is happening. So glad Ruby is with you. That's the way it should be. It's a hassel to fly her, I know. Look how big she is!! Oh my gosh! Adorable!

Ruby is so sweet!! Good luck in your new journey! I can’t wait to see your new conversion to the van!! So exciting! Also hope all will be well with your folks!🙏

What about your stuff and your old van home? Ruby is ADORABLE! Those puppy snuggles are the best!

Sending you love ❤️ and prayers and hugs love the new van 🚐 you are close to my neck of the woods family is very special and your dog 🐕 ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Ruby is gorgeous and soooo happy! Prayers for your family. Excited to see the van build. Much love, good luck!

Ruby is such a cute pupper. She looked so happy as soon as she saw you!

Glad you have sweet Ruby with you. She’ll need a coat for cold weather.
