I'm sitting here crying my eyes out over the loss of Littlefoot. He brought so much joy to so many lives and will be greatly missed. So thankful that I was able to be a part of his life for seven weeks. My deepest condolences to both of you over the loss of your sweet angel goats Ruby and Littlefoot. The love shown between you and them will live forever.
Tersa, i think you expressed everything i wanted to say. Including your tears. I understand and honor the decision because i've had to make those decisions. Doesnt make it easier though! 😶 😢😭🙏🙏
I rarely comment on videos. But my heart broke with you guys, he popped up on my feed and started following you guys. His short life was filled with love most never know. Thank you for all you did for him and the others
I wanted to express my condolences only to find that Storm-kingdom had already written down my feelings better than I could have done. All the best to you both 🐐❤️🩹
In his short life he received so, so much love and that’s what matters. Quality of life is a huge thing for me and I applaud you for making that super hard choice.
The hardest thing about loving our furbabies is letting them go when it's best for the furbaby. I think you showed how much you loved Littlefoot by letting him go. Bless you guys ❤
I'm crying about a goat I never knew. He was a beautiful sweet little guy, a heart stealer. I hope his spirit is somewhere frolicking about taking easy deep breaths of fragrant fresh air. RIP Littlefoot, you were loved little guy.
A broken heart takes awhile to heal. Thank you for taking such good care of Littlefoot. The time you gave him was loving, and you could tell he loved you back.
Nooooooooooooooooooo! I loved Little Foot. I told everyone about the most adorable little guy! As heavy as my chest is at this time, I can not imagine how y’all must feel! At least LF had a life of love and acceptance. Miss him!
OMG, I’m crying here. I don’t doubt you did the kindest thing, but we all hoped so much that he would make it. But even if he had a short life it was a very happy one - he had love, special care and RU-vid fame! And he gave pleasure to so many viewers. RIP, sweet little guy! ❤️❤️
I can't help but get a little emotional reading through some of these comments, but you actually managed to get a chuckle out of me with the RU-vid fame bit. Thanks for your part in all the support we've received. We've appreciated it👍🏻
He was the cutest thing I've ever seen. His time was short, but he got the best love a little goat can get. I will never forget him, doing all he can to live the life he could, with the help of those who held him dearest. Rest in peace, Littlefoot, the littlest of goats.
You said it beautifully & thank you. Too hard to express my feelings thru tears. Have a healthy wonderful life Littlefoot with all the dear ones at Rainbow Bridge. All will be reunited. God bless all.
For an 80 yr. old, tough old guy, this brought a tears to my old eyes. I've been down this very same road, many years ago, with TWO dogs, that I had to have put down, at the same time, after 15 yrs. with them. Its heart breaking. But, I feel, that you guys did the right thing. That was kinder, than see the poor little thing suffer. thank you for sharing. Sincerely, Bruce Ray.
beautifully said, Ray. your feelings of caring come right through. i am glad though that your wonderful doggies went together. so hard to lose a life mate. i’m 77. Let’s have a lovely day. :) 🌤️🌷🌱
Hey you should be proud of yourself you gave that little guy the best life you could ever give him be proud of that you never gave up and you got to enjoy him while he was here..
Oh my goodness!!! Yes!!! You DID give him the BEST LIFE!! He knew he was LOVED & ADORED!! And you loved him SO MUCH!, you made the HARDEST decision of all!!! A LOT of people wouldn't do that!! So as PAINFUL as it is!!, just know you did the RIGHT thing!! (Why does doing the "right thing" tear our heart out SO MUCH!?) Thank you IMMENSELY for sharing his SWEET little life with us!! (as with the rest of your sweet animals!) I LOVE the flower idea, btw! LOVE! LOVE it!! (And I am SO SORRY for your hearts!!❤️)
💔I’m sorry for your loss guys. I’m a vet. I saw this little guy on my feed and started following you guys. You guys made more of an effort than most would have. By far. Bless you. Goats are silly, special little creatures. Keep up the amazing care you guys give to your animals. ❤️
I had miniature goats. Spring babies made life worth living. You get so attached to the ones that mom rejects. You realize as they greet you with exuberance and eat with abandon, just how much love can be in such a tiny package. Nothing like being a live bouncy house for baby goaties *sigh* 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
In Little foot's short life, you guys gave him so much love & happiness. He got the best parents on the day he was born. Hearing what the Doctors told you about his condition little foot you guys gave him honestly a long life and his best life. ❤❤❤❤
Oh, my heart! I'm half a world away and even I fell madly in love with his tiny hooves and crazy dance moves, so I can only imagine how much of a hole he's left in your lives. I'm so happy that the short life he lived with filled to overflowing with love and care. That little dude captured so many hearts. I know, life must go on, and I'm happy he's not suffering. Thank you both for sharing LittleFoot's story and letting him into our lives for a while. He will be missed, but never forgotten.
Your love for Little Foot brought joy to my heart. I am so sorry he’s gone-what a bright little life in this gloomy world. Thank you for sharing him and his story.
I found you because of Little Foot, but I'm still going to be here because of both of you. You are such kind and compassionate men, and seeing how you love your goats, does my heart good. I will miss Little Foot, and I'm glad he was born to your farm and had such a great, but all too short, life because of both of you. My sincere condolences in the loss of that special little angel who stole our hearts.
Heartbreaking to hear Littlefoot's gone. So sorry to hear about Ruby as well. It comforts me to know they were well loved and cared for. Thank you for taking such good care of them and sharing the journey with us.
I was touched by Littlefoot's journey. He was a beautiful soul who was lucky to have been surrounded by love and patience in his short life. I'm sorry for your loss...He was special!
Dr Allen Cannedy is a magnificent goat expert at NC State’s College of Veterinary Medicine from whom I’ve learned a great deal. I am humbled by how smart, compassionate and dedicated all DVMs are. It breaks their hearts to not be able to save every one of their patients. My condolences to you. You gave him a great life and in time I hope memories of him will only make you smile.
That's a great sentiment. We'll have plenty of fond memories to look back on👍🏻 We'll be talking about him for as long as we've got goats. Glad we had him while we did.
I am facing the decision to put down our 13 year old Labradoodle, Willie Nelson. (We also have his littermate/brother, Toby Keith. Yes, it’s all about quality of life. Now, Willie has a very hard time standing up, but then he moves around great as his muscles warm up. He has arthritis and is on the max pain pill and something to ease his nervous system’s response to pain. Typing these words just now is showing me that it’s almost time, and his quality of life is now being affected. However, he is eating very well & drinking, peeing & pooping. He is been such a wonderful friend & family member-not just a pet. Both dogs have slept with my husband & I since they were past crate training. (Willie’s favorite spot was on a pillow between my head & the headboard. (Luckily I am short) However, now he cannot jump onto the bed as his back legs just don’t have the strength anymore. Sometimes I pick him to put on the bed with us in the afternoons. He doesn’t like being picked up- he prefers being independent. It will be so very hard for Toby to lose his brother, Willie. Their entire lives from in-utero until now, they have been inseparable. I found your RU-vid channel just when Little Foot was born, so I have followed his short life with you- seeing your care & love & even greater love as Little Foot started his decline. Many people would not have taken him to the vet hospitals - it’s not inexpensive! But, you get to know you have done everything you could for him & the vets in training & the vet teachers learn from Little Foot & improves their care of other little goats to come. Your followers have learned about you both & how you love & treat your goats- they are not just farm animals!! Thank you for showing us your journey & showing how your 4 legged family members should be taken care of & loved. I will think of you as I rub Willie’s back & gaze into his beautiful, brown eyes, loving him as he crosses over the Rainbow Bridge. I am getting tears just thinking about what I need to do FOR Willie. 😣😢😭
Thanks for sharing your story. When Willie is ready for the rainbow bridge he will let you know. Good nutrition is key. I put my forever boy down in 2002 and I miss him still all the time.
I only thumbed up this video because you gentlemen are wonderful and kind hearted. We wished the outcome was different. We are all so sad and we all loved LittleFoot. I can’t stop crying but out of love you men made the right decision. RIP LittleFoot, you will always be in our hearts.
My heart breaks for you. In his short life, he touched so many! What a lesson in kindness and humanity….your love for him and the selfless decision to not let him suffer is an example to us all. Bless you and bless this sweet being. He is surely running and jumping and playing in heaven now.
I just had a baby and am staying home trying to relax so I decided to type in "littlefoot update." Seeing him bounce around always made me smile, and I attend Oregon State, so I got excited to see you took him there! The x rays (or maybe hormones!) Brought tears to my eyes. I held my breath, hoping there was a bright spot. Hoping there was treatment, something that would rescue him. I cried when you showed his grave. All day, I've been repeating "I can't believe they had to put littlefoot down!" My husband is annoyed but I'm just heartbroken for you and your loss. As a farmer, I know there's no pain quite like it, to lose a farm animal you shouldn't care so much about, and fought so hard to save, and then finding out it wasn't good enough. Thinking of you!!
I’m so sorry for your loss. He’s now bouncing around the alfalfa fields at the base of the Rainbow Bridge. You guys gave him the best life you could. Thank you for that.
I saw the video on the birth of littlefoot...your making the whole world cry posting this video of littlefoot and Ruby...Angels in heaven...May God bless them and rest there soul's
RIP littlefoot. Your short life made a huge difference in people's lives. During this troubled time Littlefoot brought joy and reminds us of how precious life is and that the little things are what make us truly happy.
Littlefoot certainly left a big foot impression on all of our heart's. Little- foot knew he was loved and adored by you both. You gave him a life filled with love, adventure, and kindness. Rest easy Littlefoot.
If I am heartbroken, I cannot imagine how both of you feel. I love your compassion and love for this little one. He’ll be with Ruby when you see them next. Blessings and love to you all.
Littlefoot made a mark in all our lives. He has touched all of us & we thank you for sharing him w/ us. He lived a short life but the memories will last. He truly was a gift from God!
I love you two guys. It's touching and sweet to see how much you love your goats. I wish I could know you, and your herd. Thank you so, so much for sharing Littlefoot with us while you could. You're wonderful people.
I'm so sad 😞 we lost Little Foot. He was a joy to all of us and I personally looked forward to all his updates. I'm so sorry for your loss and know how sad you are feeling. RIP Little Foot! I love 💘 how you put him to rest. You two guys are awesome!
You are responsible forever for that which you tame. That’s a quote from a book titled “The Little Prince.” One of the hardest responsibilities that comes with taming a creature and being responsible for them… Is the obligation to set them free when they can no longer enjoy life. It’s terrifying, it hurts us, we question ourselves over it, and that’s all OK. What matters is that we fulfill that obligation because they trust us to. I am so, so sorry that little foot‘s time on earth was so brief. And I am so so so proud of you guys for loving him and nurturing him and giving him the best life that he could have. You’ve done well, thank you for being you
Animals like Littlefoot and Ruby enter our lives to remind us of our humanity. They change our emotional DNA, and reconnect us to the most sacred part of ourselves. Love to you both.
I’m so sorry you guy’s are going through this difficult time. He is such a cute little baby. You guy’s are awesome to do what you do for your goats. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
This was so hard for me to watch. Almost a year ago (June 20, 2021) I had to have my best friend of 14 years, my precious Little Bear (see my avatar) euthanized. My heart is with you both and my prayers, too. Littlefoot was a really special little guy.
It's the decision that sucks more than any other. Your heart is breaking, but you don't want to be selfish. Never doubt that you made the right decision, because you made it out of love. Thank you for sharing your journey with Littlefoot with all of us. The videos of his antics always put a smile on my face. You are two very special guys. Peace.
My heart hurts for you both 😞. I too had a very hard decision to put my 4 pound sweet Yorkie down two months ago. She was the apple of my eye, the reason I got out of bed everyday. She had the same thing an enlarged heart. She had difficulty breathing in the end. The decision to uthenise tears you up emotionally, leaves you with a void. But in the end we know in our hearts we did the right thing for our baby ❤️❤️. May your hearts mend soon ❤️❤️
@@lisafraser7446 my mini doxie had the same problem. He had to be euthanized 8 years ago at only 5 years old and I still feel like crap about it..not the procedure itself, but that I thought he was just being lazy and didn't want to take fun walks with his sibling.
Thank you for introducing us to Little Foot. He brought joy to our lives at a time when there is so much sadness in the world. You always did what was best for him, that shows great love and compassion; even though it hurt you immensely. Sincere condolences. 🙏❤️
Littlefoot is a great little guy. He’s very lucky to have the two of u to look after him. It’s very obvious that he’s very much loved. U made the right decision. But it’s very hard. 😢😢😢
Littlefoot captured all our hearts, with his tiny, little, bouncy self! I’ve never seen such a tiny goat! God bless you both for the loving way you took care of him, and for making the hard (but right) decision to let him go. We will always remember him with love in our hearts. 💙 Thank you both for doing what you do. Those goats are in good hands! 💜
He's so precious. He was so lucky to have you. I have a friend that is 1st Nation member and she said the greatest honor you could give is relieve a pet from suffering. You honored Littlefoot. So sorry for your pain. Peace.
Littlfoot's energy will live on forever in your hearts, and ours. He made so many people smile, he's not gone really. He lives in our hearts. His body will nourish the earth and the tulips and people will see that beauty too.
I’m so sorry for your losses this week. Sharing your feelings with us is a perfect way of letting us help you navigate this difficult time. My heart goes out to you. ❤️💔🐐
Little Light Foot was a lovely little guy. I grew up on a farm and some animals just stay with you - long after their little bodies give out. Years from now, you will think of him and tell someone the story of little light foot. Making the hard choices is never easy. It is often the most loving thing you can do. So sorry about Ruby too. Hugs to both of you
RIP Littlefoot and Ruby. 😢😢 and my sincere condolences. You guys did the right thing. To keep the animals we love alive when they are suffering, with no hope for a better quality of life, is selfish. You gave Littlefoot love and a chance at life. Bless you for making the right very painful, decision. xxxx
I'm crying with you. You are so right, we do feel things with you - happy & sad, and you did your very best for Little Foot and ALL your goats. Be proud of who you are. Sending live from England UK 💜
We love you guys and our prayers are with all of you. You made the hard decision and I support you. Grieve and remember Little Foot and Ruby in all their bright moments.
My deepest condolences for both the loss of Littlefoot and Ruby. I admire what you and your family do. Littlefoot drew me to your channel (as a RU-vid recommendation). Now I am hooked. I visited a petting zoo a few years ago and discovered that the goats were my fav. I hope to visit your farm one day.
He was so tiny & so sweet! Thank you for sharing his joy with us! He was so cute jumping around! We all loved him & will miss him, & never forget how tiny Littlefoot created so much love! It was hard to watch you go thru the Hope & do what was best for him. God bless you!🙏🏼💕
Omg I will miss that sweet baby so much...🥺🥺🥺 Thank you for taking such good care of him. My heart goes out to both for the sorrow you must be feeling.
I found your channel because of Littlefoot and I have Native American in me so I was drawn to his name. You guys are great and did more for Littlefoot than most would. My heart goes out to you both. You are blessed 💜 drying tears
Bless you guys, and bless your farm. My wife has been a dedicated Littlefoot fan since you guys started posting about his grand adventures and his wonderful life. He has touched so many of us, but thank you guys for never giving up on him. You did what you did because it was the right thing to do, and we thank you for sharing him with the rest of us
So sorry for your loss. Littlefoot was such a cutie, and we all fell in love with him. You guys were so wonderful to care for him, and in the end doing the right thing for Littlefoot. I hope your hearts heal soon, as you have many others that need your love and support. I send you my love for what you do. You are both awesome!
LittleFoot will be remembered for all the lovely memories he’s created. Although he’s gone, there’s little doubt he lived the fullest life possible with your love and care. Very very sorry for the loss.
I share your grief having seen him born, and seeing the loving care you gave him. I have looked forward to every update about his well-being. He was lucky to have you caring for him during his short life. You are both wonderful human beings.
Little foot was a special gift from God for you, as was beautiful Ruby. It’s hard to have to let them go when you so want to love and protect them. I believe they’re now happy and being loved by Him Who created them. They could not have had happier lives here than they had with you two lovely guys. Thank you so much for sharing them with us! 💕
I'm sitting here now in the UK crying my eyes out,I found you guys when Littlefoot popped up on my feed and subbed right away,I'm heartbroken he's not with us anymore but so glad he had you two to fill his short sweet life with so much love and happiness.RIP beautiful Littlefoot xxx
Littlefoot did bring joy, courage and a fighting spirit. That will always be remembered. That little one is scampering across the meadows of heaven. He will be waiting for the both of you. Brave fellows, you gave him a time of love and devotion. Littlefoot loved you for that, .....he loves you still!
I’m so sorry you had to put Littlfoot down. You did the right thing for this little goat Angel, although it literally ripped your heart out. And ours. I appreciate you sharing daily what was going on with his care. It is apparent how you love your animals. I am now a subscriber to your channel and look forward to each new video. Thank you and God bless you all.
I'm so sorry to hear about Little Foot. He was such a joy to watch. My heart goes out to you guys. You're such great papas. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.
I was just discovering the first videos of littlefoot and knowing shortly after that he's not there anymore devastated me. I'm crying, my heart is heavy. You are amazing guys. Thanks for giving such love and joy to littlefoot and Ruby.
As a 55 year old father of two in London, I appreciate how you’ve been free with your emotions. One gets so attached to these animals but I urge you to focus on the thought that you gave the little fellow the very best life he could possibly have had in the circumstances.
I'm crying my heart out. Been there with my dogs. At the end, we've been so privileged to have these creatures in our lives and to be able to care for them. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.
I have been following close. As soon as the notice popped up, I stopped all that I was doing to watch. I am so, so sorry for your loss. First Ruby, then Little Foot. I imagine Ruby just waiting for Little Foot's arrival. I can see them in a peaceful place playing and keeping each other company. They will always be with you. They both touched my heart in an amazing way. I will always love them. Thank you for allowing the world to share this journey with you. You both did an amazing job providing a beautiful life for them filled with SO much love and happiness. More than enough to last a million goat lifes. They are so blessed to have you in their lives. I know that they will be so excited to be with you again someday. Not soon, though. You two have lots of more amazing things to do for Gods precious fur babies. I love you guys. You are amazing!!!
I'm so sorry you guys have been dealt that hand. Littlefoot was given the best fighting chance with you both. Please take comfort knowing that we(your viewers) are here and feeling your pain too. RIP Littlefoot
I'm so sorry for the loss, of that beautiful little soul. 😢. He brought much light, love and joy during his brief sojourn with all of us. Thank you for caring so much and trying so hard to give him a happy life and loving him enough to say goodbye for his sake. He's hopping and jumping around in heaven as he makes the Angels laugh. Thank you for sharing the joy of Littlefoot as we also share a bit of your pain. ❤
Thank you guys for your wonderful care of Little Foot and all your goats. My heart breaks with you for the loss of Ruby and Littlefoot. In his short life your little boy gave us inspiration and many smiles ❤
I’m heartbroken😭❤️ He was a good little guy, and enjoyed life to the fullest when he lived, because of all the help from his owners😍❤️ I will never forget this storry. Rest in Peace little Bud❤️
