ahh i forgot to mention my lower leg color tattoos done by the rad crocodile jackson!! 🐊

the dink fam TATTED though

I like to imagine that the way Jenna has decided to heal over her break is by training for that basketball game she never got to have. That she's been shooting hoops on the daily fulfilling her dreams.

The pressure Julie must feel to keep all this going. I think about this a lot.

Julien when Jenna is about: no dogs on the table Julien when Jenna is not present: ALL THE DOGS ON THE TABLE!!!

Waiting for bunnys turn to be sitting on the table blocking the whole frame

We always say it, but Julien never ceases to impress me with his warmth and kindness. I know we only ever see a sliver of anyone's lives; but from what I see of Julien, he seems like a singularly lovely guy.

can you update us how tall Jenna is now?

Can’t believe Kermit finally got his lifelong wish to be carried everywhere. He went for the long game. Well played, doggo

Peach hearing that she’s going on a low fat diet: 👁💧👄💧👁

Peachy finally got debt free and now she’s stuck with the vet bill😢. Hopefully Jenna is letting the interest go🤞

Something to consider for Kermit’s IVDD diagnosis. I had the exact same situation with my chihuahua a few years ago. He was suddenly in a ton of pain (and is a huge baby about any level of pain) rushed him to the ER in the middle of night and had an X-ray the dr said looked consistent with IVDD. They gave him some pain meds and we let him rest and he was fine the next day. They told me if it was IVDD, we’d have to change his whole lifestyle and not let him jump on furniture etc anymore (which he loves to do). We took him to a neurologist a couple of days later and they did a MRI, which can see way more than the X-ray. They said people wouldn’t normally spend the money to bother double checking, but we have pet insurance that made it much more affordable and wanted to be sure. It turns out he did not have IVDD at all. It was just a random back tweak. We didn’t have to change a thing and 3 years later he is doing great.

I’m so grateful for Julien continuing the channels and satisfying us while Jenna takes her well-deserved personal break (or more importantly, her long due self care). But I can’t help but worry that Julien might burn out next just like her and we won’t have them both in the end. Bringing so much content every week-EVERY DAY is no joke. I hope Julien remains to enjoy every stream, every podcast he does, for his sake rather than ours.

Podcast idea: a split screen with Julien and Julien in a wig

16:00 Peach: ➖👄➖ Julien: ... jelly donuts... Peach: 👁👄👁

When he did the MeUndies transition I groaned “JULIEEEEEEEEN” since Jenna couldn’t be here to do it for us

The symmetry of Kermit and Peach laying down in opposite directions at the start is peak art

Can we talk about how little miss weachy immediately sat up at the mention of "jelly doughnuts" at 15:55? Like girl you are on a DIET, behave!

Kermit’s disease is really problematic and severely painful. Rest does not cure it. Go to a different vet and get him treatment. Hyalutidin can help lubricate joints from inside which makes them work better and less painful.

This is a super small detail but when Julien said “terra-cotta pot” with the cactus tattoo- it really warmed my heart to know he really paid attention to Jenna’s plant addiction. I say that bc non plant people don’t really say terra-cotta they just say ceramic or like, clay? Idk, it was just precious to me

Cant believe that 8 years ago you were just "Jennas BF" to me, and now youre such a important part of my day; the podcast and watching your cooking videos every single day. youre awesome and we love you and the dogs (and Jenna)! PS: name it a tattour

Next week: Bunny takes up the whole table. You can't see Julian. It's only Bunny.

I laughed so hard when Peached perked up in Julien’s arms when he said “Jelly donut”

Julian is killing these solo podcasts. Even if/when Jenna comes back you should keep doing solo episodes

Oh! That Meundies transition! Julien is figuring out this solo pod thing. Let Jenna know we miss her but you're doing a great job!

Miss peachy is such a queen. Glad she’s doing better.

Julien: “I’ve never gotten a tattoo in someone’s house” Also Julien: *had a stream where he got tattooed in his own home like five months ago*

As an Overnight ICU vet tech, I really kept saying “Pancreatitis!” while you searched your brain for the word. I’m so glad she’s okay ❤️

perfect opportunity for “Dink Ink” (if no one has said that already)

so sorry about what your dogs are going through. my frenchie had surgery for her IVDD last year at 3 years old, it's a scary disease. hope your puppers heal up soon!

Peach: *hears jelly donut* Peach: RISES FROM THE DEAD

My Doxie has ivdd and chiropractic care changed her life. She couldn’t walk at all and in 6 months she was back to her normals self. We take her in ever 3 months for maintenance.

the iggys laying so symmetricaly makes them look like a piece of contemporary art

Can't wait for Bunny's week on the table. Also, you may be buying a new table soon.

The red and black dragon over mountain tatoo is actually from The Hobbit! It’s part of the map of Middle Earth depicting the Lonely mountain. Lol just thought I’d toss the info out there since nobody asked.

Peachy baby looks so thin, I'm so glad her tummy is feeling better. She's in the best of hands

I took on Jenna's role when you did that MeUndies segway and said "Juliennnn".

When people ask them why they aren’t having kids Them: we do

When Julien described the discs as jelly donuts, Peach's head popped up and I cackled. She's definitely on the mend.

Does anyone else scroll through the comments whilst listening because the Dink Fam are bloody hilarious?

I love that Julien calls the iggies "long dogs". Also, glad miss weach is doing okay. That was a scary couple of days 😭

On behalf of Jenna over thAT MEUNDIES TRASITION JUUULIEEEEN OMG

Kermit: “bunny has tattoos why can’t Kermie has tattoo?”

Need some tattoo artists to do an interpretation of Julien's audio-only descriptions of the tattoos (no peeking)!

The cactus holding a balloon tattoo seems so hopeful. Being spiky but wanting to hold on to something so delicate, really cool.

Please tell Jenna we love and support her during her hiatus. She's doing the most by just taking care of herself ❤️ Thank you for the content Julien!!

Idea for artists: listen to this podcast without watching and sketch the tattoo based just on Julien's descriptionol *description only

I have the human version of kermits disease, it’s called scheuermanns disease/kyphosis, imma tell my family carry me I have carry me disease,!

juilen with his rotisserie chickens ❤️

The iggies are posed like theyre in a renaissance painting

I'm fully loving Julien talking about the nerdy tattoos, and being blissfully unaware. It's sweet.

kitsune is japanese for fox but it also has an incredible legend and folklore commonly used in stories, video games, and movies. i love kitsune tattoos and art !

When Julien shifted and the dogs faced him was everything. They totally know you're talking to them, nit us. Kerm stayed lookin like he was in convo. Such cared for puppies, I'm glad they feel so loved.

i can’t why does their bodies shaped like this they look like an eggplant and a weird shaped sweet potato i love them

i wish i would've sent mine in! i have a "hell yeah" tattoo in the jenna eyebrows font

That bike tattoo wasn't just a bike, it was in the shape of a heartbeat representing her grandpa's heartbeat/life 💕 very beautiful

Can we take a sec to appreciate Julien doing the podcast and stream solo on top of his own channel, WE LOVE YOU JULEN

HI JULIE HOPE U AND JENNA ARE DOING WELL

Julien please don’t feel pressured to keep these going. U can take a break too, don’t stress

I love the iggys sitting there listening so patiently as he talks about his tattoos they look so interested in what he's talking about

next week i am expecting bunny on that table pls and thank you

I love that as Julien is talking about his tattoos, the iggys are just sitting looking at him like they're listening to him talk about his ink. Adorable!

When Kermit is off crate rest and the swelling has gone down, look into physical therapy for dogs. The only way to preserve his health and life in the longer term and to provide more pain relief is to rehabilitate and strengthen the muscles supporting his spine. Absolutely not moving for the rest of his life (just mentioning this in the weird off chance that this has been recommended to you), is going to result in increasing pain as the muscles surrounding the spine atrophy and more stress from gravity is placed on those vertebrae and discs. Being confined will produce depression. Inactivity will likely shorten his life. In any case I’m assuming a responsible vet already has physical therapy as part of his long-term care plan but just commenting this on the off chance that they aren’t aware of the option

Pancreatitis is very common in small dogs, we see it very often. Diets too high in fat and feeding dogs people food can trigger it. My chihuahua has had IVDD to the point where she was almost partially paralyzed (toe dragging, stumbling) it took 3-4 months of crating her to heal her. From personal experience, those who have little dogs, keep them from jumping on and off furniture cause it can easily cause IVDD or even a ruptured disc.

Me for the last few weeks: are the dogs safe? Is Jenna okay? Is bunny alright??? Has Kermit hurt himself??? Is marbles still alive???

Thank you for the image descriptions not just for people who don’t watch the videos but also for us visually impaired/low vision/blind dinks!

Aww peachy’s story got me crying it’s so true you never know what will be gone so hug those closest to you today.

“and the bike is for my GPA, oh- my grandpa i’m so sorry”

Ahhh! That's my tattoo, the purple and yellow moth (butterfly) with the diamond behind it! For those curious, it's by an artist up here in Seattle, named Dani out of Jackson Street Tattoo! She's an AMAZING artist- in fact, this is straight off her flash sheet. I thought it was the coolest thing I've ever seen. I have another piece by her and will continue getting more from her, her work is just always top notch, especially her line work and use of white.

I love when Julien says “long story long”

The last time I took my little doggo to the vet she was put to forever sleep, so this storytime was just a little bit too close to home, I am soo soo glad that Peachy Queen is doing okay. I wish our pets would live forever ❤

Tell Jenna we love and miss her and we hope she’s getting some good “me” time ❤️

Julien please take care of yourself also! Jenna and you both really really deserve goddamn break. this year is brutal

Can we get a Jenna button that scream "Julien!" when he segways into sponsored messaging?

I just want peach to know that she can stand up and dig around in the blankets whenever she wants and we will wait for her

The hilarious frustration when peachy was digging and couldn’t get comfortable is something most dog owners feel on a spiritual level. JUST SIT DOWN JEEZE

TELL JENNA WE HOPE SHES DOING SO AMAZING AND THAT SHE IS WATERING HER CERMENT WELL

Please hug Jenna extra for all of us and make sure shes watering her an cermets

I just wanted to say that Julien is one of the best men I know of. He inspires me to be a better man and inspires me to emulate so many of his positive qualities. He genuinely loves Jenna and the pups and the Dink fam. He was 100% chill with all of Jenna’s video stuff and he loved doing that with her. He constantly expresses how much he loves her through actions and words. Julien is keeping this train going without complaint and selflessly providing for everyone in his life, especially us viewers. Real man’s man right there, folks. Thanks for leading by example, Julien.

Honestly Julien is doing so good being a supportive man in a relationship where one person is healing. Cooking good food, taking care of the dogs, carrying on the stream and podcast and his own videos.

So glad you’re here Julie ❤️ Didn’t even realize I was on of the first comments😅 I’v always felt too nervous to comment 😂- I just felt like I had to show my support to our Julen 💕👍🏼

I think there is a lesson here We should live like marbles Not know where we are and never sit on hardwood

Julien almost couldn’t keep a straight face when he made that me undies segway

thank you for this episode! I really really enjoy your description and commentary of the tattoos! Anyone who cannot watch the screen all the time will really appreciate your lively descriptions!

The first Julien cast, I cried because I thought it wouldn’t fill the Jenna void enough. I was wrong. Thank you so much Juli ❤️ it means a lot to us that you keep going

not sure about anyone else but during the segways I’m missing the “JULIENuUH” so I’ve been saying it myself

When Julen said “jelly donuts” peach popped up so fast 🍩

Julien "the bones have these little jelly doughnuts--" Peach immedietly sits up.

when he was done telling the peachy story and she got up and went to him like “daddy i love you i’m okay now” 😭😭😭 i canttttt

Thank you so much for doing this julien. I know you’re very concerned about taking care of Jenna, but don’t forget to take care of yourself too, especially since you’re taking on all these tasks by yourself now. We love and appreciate you!

i listened to this podcast a few days ago but i just came to SEE all the tattoos and also to say it was such a pleasure to listen to julian talk about something he obviously loves so much, and even though i know NOTHING about tattoos i loved hearing him talk about it and all the comments he made were so positive 💗💗

For anyone wondering: the anime tattoo is from Tokyo Ghoul and also the kitsune mask is a fox, not a cat :)

Title said: Dogs and I clicked so fast

It’s interesting to hear Julien describe the tattoos because I get to see what about them sticks out to him the most compared to what I notice. Sometimes the same things stand out but other times we have completely different focuses and I think it’s so cool how art resonates so differently depending on the observer.

Like many others have been saying, IVDD is a very serious condition and rest is not a great long term option for Kermit’s well being. You need to take him to a specialty vet that has a neurology department for a second opinion. I know this because my dachshund has been going through the saga of IVDD for the last few years.

The Lord of the Rings tattoo went straight over his head bless him

an uncooked raw chicken, a grey raw chicken

Kermit getting Carry Me Disease is the most Kermit thing to do.

Julien: “.. jelly donuts...” Peach: *looks up*

Glad the cermets are doing well now! My girl had a similar episode a few years ago and it was terrifying to feel helpless when she was sick - especially since the hospital couldn't truly pinpoint what caused the illness. She's also 10, so I feel you on the old dog fork in the road. Every day is an adventure, and I'm so glad to be on it! Loved seeing the tats everyone submitted, the whole second half of the episode was really positive and relaxing to listen to. I hope it was as calming to film!
