Aww...my favorite line in the Moon River song...."My Huckleberry friend" Moon river, wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style some day You dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you're going, I'm going your way Two drifters, off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end, Waiting 'round the bend My huckleberry friend Moon river and me Oh, you dream maker, you heart breaker Wherever you're going, I'm going your way. We're after that same rainbow's end Waiting round the bend My huckleberry friend Moon river and me
My favorite line, too. I love that song. Our little Yorkie is named Huckleberry. I was so surprised when Carolyn said the name of her new puppy. He is adorable. So happy for her.
He’s young enough to adjust to riding in the rig. I hope you get him chipped, too, just in case he gets away. He’s adorable, Carolyn. So happy for both of you.
You can't even imagine how happy I was to see that you have added a new baby to your life. Huck is just the cutest. This quote came up yesterday and it immediately resonated with me. As soon as I saw this video, I knew it also belonged to you. “True self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from. And that often takes doing the thing you least want to do.” -Brianna Wiest You haven't escaped life, you found it when you hit the road. But this seems like the time to open yourself even more. Congratulations on the new baby, Carolyn. I see the twinkle of Capone in Huck's eyes.
Awww my eyes have sprung a leak! I'm so happy for you., someone to share your heart and life with. Loving his name too. I think Capone would definitely approve 😍 Looking forward to your new adventures together xx
Oops! I saw it too. Lost my girl (Former wild dog from St Martin) on March 11th, True soul mate and my favorite person ever, at 14 years old. You and Capone inspired us to research rv living and planning, traveling and sharing our videos from our live events. Worklife was/is selling my original, therapeutic design for dogs of these 17 years, via online and dog shows. But I lost Colette March 11th this year. I'm finally back to showing locally now, post-hardtime grieving, but professional feedback is encouraging me to venture out across the country. Don't want to be alone either. Congrats on your Huckleberry. ♡ Much love and heartfelt moments.
Btw, I had reached out to you to be a coach (at that time I read that you were available as a marketing and coaching professional) for our planned live video productions almost 2 years ago but you weren't available at that time, as it turned out, unfortunately.
Those words are from the song "Me and Bobby McGee" written by Kris Kristofferson, Not Janis Joplin! JJ had a huge hit with Kris's song but then again many others also recorded this song, Peace :-)
I love Huckleberry.. Cute name and he's so cute.. I like to see you laughing and happy.. So God Bless Huck and the love and happiness he's bringing your way..
I am so happy for you! When you said you had a big announcement I just knew it would be a new puppy. I just knew you needed the time to realize exactly what you said you aren't really free if you are alone all the time. So very happy for you. I have shed many tears over the loss of Capone and I have that same sweatshirt! I have lost 3 dogs in the past 3 years and now have a new little girl who I love so much but i still miss Lucie, Moo, and Maya beyond belief.
I’m soo happy to see you happy again!! Missed you and your excitement. So glad for you and your new adventures. I miss Capone too but Huck is awesome!!
He’s a doll!! I took on two at 65 and they are my life. You are right that you will never forget Capone - and you shouldn’t. These new memories won’t replace any times you have had with Capone; these will be new ones. The heart never gets so full that there is always room for more love and new memories. Congratulations to you and Huck!
Thank you for your heartfelt comments. It's hard to travel alone. And getting a new pet companion is the perfect way to get instant companionship, and they're so happy to be around you! Congratulations, Carolyn!
Oh! I'm so happy for you!!! You will always love Capone but it's ok to love someone else. He's so adorable! Your heart will fill up again! Congratulations Carolyn!
Omg Carolyn I’m crying tears of joy for you! I lost my doggie last year around the same time as you lost Capone, and funny enough I just got myself a new pup as well one week ago. His name is Buddy. ❤️
Hi Carolyn!! Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you!! I just took in my elderly dad's elderly dog about a month ago. You just made me realize I should probably embrace it a little more than I have been. I wasn't thrilled to have another 'thing' to take care of but she's such a sweet girl. Thank you for helping me realize I have a great friend in her. I can't even go to the bathroom without her!! ❤️
The best cure for a broken heart is a new heart. He's adorable! I still cry when I think about our 2 old dogs but what gets me through that sadness every time is our 2 new dogs. I'm happy you got a new baby!
I knew it!!! I'm soooooo freaking happy for you both!! So Carolyn, Be happy to love again, be free to BE loved again and most of all, be kind to yourself darling! He is so darn cute and I love the name!! I cant wait to see what the two of you get up too lol!! 🦋💙🦋
Oh Wow he's gorgeous Carolyn. Definitely got some healer in him 😁 As an Aussie I was so surprised. He seems mostly Red Healer I think. They are sooo tough, loyal, and smart and beautiful just like you 😁 What a handful he'll be hehehe
That face. Omg. I was in love from the first time I set eyes on him. So sad his life was a short one. But so happy you made the decision to let another dog into your life.
So happy for you, Carolyn. I live alone in a sticks and bricks with my cat. He makes my day when I come home. That little pup will be a source of joy for ya.
What a wonderful surprise! I couldn't see you NOT getting a new shotgug rider! They are truly womens (mans) BEST FRIEND! Capone would be so happy for you. Love you SMACK!
Awww... congrats and many blessings to you both. Aussies, Border Collies, Heelers...the best on the planet. All my pups (mentioned above) have been older rescues...2-4 y/o) and they adjust... it's humans that have a difficult time.
Wow that was great ,love that statement .brought tears to my eyes .have so many pets with him you just made me feel so much better .thanks. mr.Erwin watchin over them all till we hit the rainbow bridge.
YAYYYYY!!!!! You just brought tears of joy to this 71 year olds eyes..I have been following you for about two years now. I was devastated and heartbroken for you when Capone passed last year..Even my adult daughters and families heard about your loss (They all know soon Iam taking the leap into RV adventures in about another 6 months or so.) and I talk about you all the time. I had told one of my daughters your big surprise was about a new pup and I was right . Little Huck will be a perfect fit, and you buying from a breeder seems like the best for you and your new companion family member. He will be perfect ( one of my rescues is a cattle dog/rottie mix LOVE HIM!!!...I KNOW how hard it is to open our hearts when we loose our precious fur babies..I am so happy you were willing to open your heart again...Capone is happy for you....Cannot wait to watch your new adventures and I SEE the sparkle is back in your eyes again. God Bless you both YAYYYYYYYYYYY !!!!….
Awww, my heart!! I lost it the minute you picked him up...everyone needs a great friend, honey❤ Lovely to meet you, little Huckleberry😘❤✌ I live in a camper trailer with my two, and I'm never lonely, or alone! He's beautiful...
That quote immediately came to my mind as well. A bit of trivia: Janis Joplin made the song "Me and Bobby McGee" a hit, but the quote is actually from Kris Kristofferson, the cowriter of the song. Bobby McGee was originally a female.
Could detect a change in your energy several videos ago, when you announced you would be ending your hike.....I think many of us hoped and suspected that you had finally opened your heart to another confidante. Congratulations....crying tears of happiness for you. So wonderful to see the light in your face. Thanks so so much for sharing your journey to find happiness, freedom, and kindness. You inspire us all. Welcome Huck! all the love
Aww~😭💖...I am totally SO in love with your Lil Huckleberry, and the name fits him PERFECTLY 🐶🍒:) Congrats Mama on the adorable "New Baby Boy"; Big Bro Capone will always be watching over BOTH of you from up above for all the AMAZING adventures ahead ❤😇...LOTS of Sweet Pup Kisses!!
You look so happy with Huck. I'm so happy for you. I recently lost a beloved Doberman and didn't want another dog. Family convinced me to get another one and I'm so happy they did. They are lots of work but worth it. AND they love us with no strings attached.
Thank you Dobe Mom - I'm sorry to hear about your loss but happy to hear you were able to open your hear and home to another furr-baby when the time was right! They are a lot to handle - but totally worth it! haha
Carolyn, I've been in isolation for 3 years now as well. I had a spiritual awakening and discovered myself. There's nothing wrong with being alone and getting to know your self. Esoterically speaking, your in hermit mode on your journey. Freedom does come with a price to pay for sure. After many betrayals from so called friends and lover's, which taught me how strong I am and my self worth. I'm to the point now, where I'm ready for relationship's and connection again. However, not desperately seeking out those connections, due to loneliness. I believe as a collective, we are ready to call in our people next year or even another year, after the pandemic settles...... The death of the human ego is huge for evolution. I hope you find your tribe. We are one, much love. PS, I'm in salt lake City surrounded by nature, dogs and cats. If your ever in the area, don't hesitate to reach out. I am holding drum circles and healing circle's for sisterhood next year. I'll send you out an invitation 😸
I so appreciate you sharing your feelings about aloneness vs. being with others. When I started my full time RV life a year ago, I felt like a weirdo because I didn't share the desire of so many other fulltimers to boondock and get away from everyone. I really like people, generally, and I had already lived for four years on my own in a very rural apartment, which was more isolated than I wanted. A big part of what I looked forward to getting on the road was what all these RVers had told me: that I would likely enjoy a much better social life on the road, if that's what I wanted. And it was true. I traveled with my blind cat, and believed I'd have her with me for at least another five years. But she developed acute heart failure very suddenly (or at least I hadn't noticed it earlier), and she crossed the Rainbow Bridge two weeks ago today, the day we were supposed to leave for our winter workamping gig. And now, for the first time on the road, I feel a bit lonely. I'm giving myself some time to heal, and I know that when the time is right, my Idgie will send me another furry friend to love and travel with on the passenger seat where she used to be, and which is now so blatantly empty. I'm so glad you got Huckleberry, and that you are feeling safe enough to open your heart maybe even to other people again. Humans are pack animals. We aren't meant to spend life alone. I know some folks choose that, but inevitably, it's due to some deep heartbreak that they just can't face again. But I'm learning that heartbreak is the price we pay to love, and in the end, it's worth it.
OMG, he is sooo freaking adorable! Good on you for taking the leap, and your reasons for getting a baby puppy instead of a rescue make all the sense in the world. No, of course he won’t “replace” Capone, nor will having him make you forget your sweet old boy. Whoever floated those ideas out to you has obviously never had dogs (or other pets), or at least never more than one. We don’t get new ones when the old ones cross the Rainbow Bridge to try to replace them, to try to fill the old guy-shaped holes, but to create new experiences and memories with. None can ever replace others, of course - but getting a new baby when one has left is really a way of honoring the memory of the departed one and the joy he brought to your life. Capone would be thrilled that he brought so much to your life that you want to share it with someone new. If any of your viewers don’t get this - or the fact that you are *obviously* well within your rights to *want* to move forward with a new baby - then they are not worth your mental energy to worry about. Please, please, please, though - if you really are going to let him ride shotgun - PLEASE at least disconnect the airbags on that side. Even full grown, Huck will still be well below the recommended height and weight for those, and he is very likely to be killed in an accident that were to set them off. I will never forget hearing about one Standard Poodle (my breed) that was literally decapitated by the passenger side airbag. This is why you don’t see anyone putting child seats up front any more. I personally live with the permanent effects of one such injury. And please, please, please! Get him a proper seatbelt harness for the same reason that you use seatbelts yourself and would use an approved child seat for a baby, scaling up as he grows. Unrestrained objects, whether animate or inanimate, tend to turn into high speed projectiles in accidents (or just hard, fast stops), and there is *nothing* good that can come of that. Bipeds with opposable thumbs and prehensile toes have no chance of surviving such flights intact (or holding on, contrary to popular belief) - but quadrupeds even less.
Oh Carolyn!! He’s beautiful!! I’m so happy for you!! We’ll remember Capone forever!♥️it’s just 8 am while I watch this and I’m in tears! Lol I’m really sincerely in awe at your strength and capacity to love and persevere, and your courage.♥️
Your journey has done my heart good. So thrilled for your new adventure with Huck. He's beautiful Carolyn. This is a wonderful transition into your next phase. Blessings to you both.
@@sherrynalder1359 I know, its so hard sometimes, I still tear up when I think of her, I miss her so much, my heart aches, she was a very special dog, she was family.
Huckleberry's so cute! He reminds me of my lab/beagle mix. He's 12 and 1/2 now. I'm sure he'll get used to the rv and you'll have wonderful adventures.
WOW!!! I'm so happy for both you and Huck, we had a border collie mix and she was EXTREMELY LOYAL.... we had 5 kiddos and she helped me take care of the pack everyday. Our kids are ALL adults now and still say Tiffany our Border Collie was the BEST dog we ever had......what a great adventure for both of you, COMPLETE UNCONDITIONAL DEVOTION AND LOVE❤️
OMG, He is adorable! You will love him and he will love you so much in return. And,.... getting a light colored dog will help when you travel through tick country. Congrats!
My sister’s children are her dogs. She has 6. She has always said, I have so much love in my heart to give and there are so many dogs who need love. If I loose a pet, I am not replacing them when I get a new one, I am sharing my heart and love. Congrats to you! I am very happy for you.
Such a cutie❤️Just what the Doc ordered! Congratulations Carolyn, May your days be filled with laughter and joy. Huckleberry will be a blessing to you. I can’t wait to see the two of you and your adventures ❤️🐶
Carolyn it is just so wonderful to see you full of Joy... Furry-Joy... Anew!! 🐶 🤗 And Hulkerberry is so...so... adorable and cute. Your face is shinning with love....happy and free with such a lovely companion. You guys look so great together ❤️🐶.🤗. I'm a puppy-lover too...as this makes me so happy to see... for you. May you and Hulk have the best of companionship.... living your best life....traveling the world, wherever your heart desires. Much Agape Blessings! ♥️👍🏾🙏🐶🤗 🤗
Oh my goodness! He's totally awesome. His name is perfect!! I love him!! Best thing you could ever do. He's going to have a great life with you his wonderful mom. I am so excited for you!!! Plus, he's so darn cute and sweet!!!!! The fun you two are going to have!!
Aw! What a cutie! Think of your love for Huck as your way of honoring Capone. When you lose a beloved pet, one way to honor them is to pass the love along and adopt a new animal to give a loving home to. I lost my beloved cat, Jack, about a year before I adopted Lucy, a German shorthair pointer/lab mix. She's 2+ years old now and I am reaping the benefits of having taken a year to train her to be a good doggy citizen. I can walk her off leash practically anywhere, and she is my friend and companion for life. She does whatever I ask because she knows that I love her and will always take care of her. Trust is the key. Congratulations on your new life with Huck!
Congrats with the new fur baby. Welcome Huck to the family. You never stop loving or replace a friend. You just add more to your heart and give more love.
