I cannot thank you enough Matthew for sharing your feelings about losing your dog. Your talk meant so much to me. Not long ago I lost another best friend. I'm an old man and have said goodbye to more than one best friend. Thank for saying the words that many of us feel inside when we lose a best companion. And thanks for mentioning Joe and Scout. We are a community of friends.

There’s almost nothing more painful than losing an animal you love. You “rescued” Monty though and Hatchi’s spirit lives on through him. It’s said that grief is ‘Love with nowhere to go’: enter “Monty the Magnificent”. He “rescued” you back. Very touching story.

@EGSimon-ds1vf 2 года назад

New to your channel and I am loving your adventures with your dogs, your sense of humor and your "gourmet" meals. This one touched my heart. Thank you for sharing your story and struggles with feelings of guilt and doubt about Hachi (hope I spelled it right). I had a similiar experience with my cat Simon. For those of us who share our lives with furry friends, it's never "just" a cat or "just" a dog, it's losing a friend, a companion and it hurts. If you add a little doubt about not having done enough or making the wrong decision, it hurts even more. But, as you so beautifully said, the loss brought about a new friend. If I hadn't lost Simon, I wouldn't have found Charlotte who makes me smile every day. It does help to talk about it, knowing that you are not alone is very healing. Monte and Ruger are absolutely gorgeous and what a life of adventure they are living! Keep the videos coming!

Posa, thank you so much for your vids!!And congratulations on all the new subs! You deserve it! You are hilarious, and I have to say it again, your intro is the BEST! Plus it's your own music! On a more mushy note, it's incredible and greatly appreciated you acknowledge our comments. And even say, 'hey, start a new thread if you want me to comment'. It truly gets you and your viewers more engaged, and most likely we share & share your videos. We realize it takes a lot of time & dedication to comment or like any or all our comments. And yet, you do it! This will make you stand above the rest. In the same breath, when you get so big, it will be possible to keep up with us commenters. So we cherish this little time frame we have with you.. Many Blessings to Funck, Monty, Reuger, You & all your extended family! What a wonderful life you have carved out for your self & share it with us. Merry Christmas Posa's!! And to all your fans!

@VailsMom 4 года назад

Matthew, my heart breaks for the loss of Hachi. Our Great Dane, Vail, would have died from bloat after the car trip back from the boarding kennel the day after our move. He was fine and excited when we picked him up (he had never been kenneled before) but started panting and was clearly in distress on the drive home. I pulled onto the shoulder of the highway, thinking he was car sick and needed to get out and vomit. He started heaving, but couldn’t bring anything up. I reached over to soothe him and his body was like a huge, hard basketball. Fortunately for us, the dog breeder had warned us repeatedly about bloat, because his grand sire (a show dog) had died from bloat at age 3. As soon as I touched his side, I knew it was bloat. It was very difficult to get him back in the car, but once I did, I flew down the interstate to the vet’s office. They had never seen Vail before (because of the move) and my hands were shaking trying to fill out paperwork, when what I wanted to do was scream “MY DOG IS DYING!! F)*& the paperwork!” And of course, the people at the vet’s office thought I was some crazy woman and that I was exaggerating the problem. Anyway, his stomach had indeed flipped, they were able to release the pressure and then went in and tacked his stomach in place with sutures. If we had not been with him, he would have certainly died. Please don’t blame yourself; you did everything you knew to do to help him and would have done more if you could. Hachi was a wonderful dog and he knew he was loved. The Dog Treat Song video is a treasure. Thank you for sharing him with us.

@VailsMom 4 года назад

I forgot to put this in perspective: This all happened in 1994. Vail lived almost 3 more years. His picture is still on my desk. 22 years later I still miss him. He was a Good Dog. Thanks to Monty and Rueger for providing my “dog fix” on the regular. Oh. I guess I should thank Matthew (and Funk) too, since they make it all possible. 😁

@neildbarker 5 лет назад

Thanks for sharing your story, Matthew. Wife and I lost our dog to old age (13 years old) about a month ago - American cocker spaniel. It's good to see that you spend time with your dogs in the outdoors - definitely one of the joys of having a dog. Another is sharing steak with them! Great video and excellent channel. :)

@MatthewPosa 5 лет назад

You're welcome. I am sorry to hear about that. It sure is!

@carriann3725 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing your personal story about your dog. I think we cried with you . I know I did. The blessing out of this tragedy is that you got Monty who is the best dog in the world. Monty is more precious than ever. ⛺️🐶🏕💖💕🙏

@janethartwig774 5 лет назад

Your Hachi story was so poignant. I can certainly understand the guilt; I missed serious symptoms once and the vet couldn’t save my little dog. Just broke our hearts but opened the door to another amazing dog who lived to a healthy old age. Thank you for sharing. You have such a compassionate heart.

@user-nn8nn8ux8z 5 лет назад

Very nice video Posa. I am bawling my eyes out because I know how hard losing Hachi was for you guys. I know how much he meant to you both. He meant a lot to the whole family. The tremors from his loss were felt all over and they still bring pains to my gut when I think of him being gone. He was by far the best dog I have ever had the pleasure of knowing and you guys did a wonderful job of loving him. But I always had a feeling that you privately held yourself somewhat responsible for what happened and I hope that you don’t because what happened was never your fault. Sometimes, things happen because they do and it’s just that. I know as humans, we have a hard time blaming fate for what it is and we want to find a reason for why things happen but in Hachis case, the reason was because he got sick with a horrible condition. You did EVERYTHING humanly possible to save his life. In fact, you did more than MOST people would have done for a dog and that’s saying a lot about who you are. Both of you. You are good people and any dog or dogs you guys own in your lifetime will always have the best life; including the two amazing fur babies you have now. 😍 I love you both so very much!!! Keep up the great work Posa! Your videos are always fun to watch and The G-man always likes watching “Uncky P chop up wood and make fires” and such. 😂😂

@derekwalters4980 2 года назад

Monty is anything BUT camera shy!! As he's gotten older the camera seems to really be his friend. Just such a patient and sweet dog, you have a wonderful relationship with him. Yes, you do treat him like the king that Monty is, but he is so tolerant of his dad, I think it's a fair exchange. Of course I'm going back and looking at the older videos, so I have that in my favor.

@danniellebrown8996 2 года назад

Hello Matthew ...so sorry for your and Funk’s loss with your pet. I fully understand as my sweet Cairn Terrier Jack just passed away. Thankyou for sharing your story. The same thing happened to us. We took Jack to the Vet and and were not expecting devistating news. Broke our hearts.😢 you know, the more videos i watch here, you have everything on your channel. Some people call their shows bushcraft, some survival, some cooking, fishing, hunting, building things and repairing, great ...cooking etc. Well, you have all of this in your versatile network. Then theres Monty, Ruger n Funk, your parents n pals. Well, you’ve got it all right here. A whole bunch of everything .... you are so very interesting. Please don’t change too much or copy some of those others, when you’ve got gold right here. Thanks for a super great video. Take care, 👌😇🇨🇦🤗 LilliStJohn

Rueger and Monty live the life most of us can only dream about, camping under the stars, fishing, steak and venison dinner...tragic as it was I’m sure Hachi lived a very well loved and wonderful life. Don’t beat yourself up about it, like you said, we learn from it and sometimes it does happen for a reason. One time there was an emergency in my family, and I panicked, didnt had a clue what to do and I’m a nurse, sometimes when it comes to the ones we love the most, we panic, go crazy, forget things...

@brenta2634 3 года назад

Hey Posa, I'm just catching up with old videos and your story was amazing and made me cry. I lost my puppy of 3 years to cancer. Just like you I did everything to save him, but he died. I got two other dogs soon after, and recently one of them ate something that gave her bloat. She needed surgery and I was not there to take care of her. A close friend was dog-sitting and saved her. She survived and the worst she has now is a bald spot from the surgery. Thank you for sharing your story and letting me share mine. Brent

Very interesting story about your Alaskan Husky. Very sorry for your loss. I just recently lost Dakota, one of my Great Danes. Dakota and I were very, very close for over seven years. He slept with me every night that I was home, and he would not go to bed without me. He would wait up while I worked on my computer, sometimes until past 7:00 am. Needless to say, I loved him very much. Dakota was the sixth dog that I had to put down in a period of about eleven years. It is NEVER easy. I often still have guilt feelings about having to make the decision to put my dogs down. There were five Great Danes and one Black Labrador. I loved them all, and I still do. I have all of their ashes here at the house. Fortunately, I still have Dakota's brother, Cheyenne, with me, although we are not as close as Dakota and I were yet, but we are working on it! Watching you interact and having fun with Monty is one of the reasons that I enjoy watching your You Tube videos so much. And I have to tell you this .... I am seventy three years old, and I am not ashamed to admit that I cried my eyes out for several days, after having to put Dakota down. He was a family member!

Fluffer Nugget is my life now that the kids are grown. ❤ Thx for the story and the PSA on mental health. As a therapist, I truly appreciate this and the exposure you gave.

There were stakes and a steak and they all looked great! I learn new skills every video! Thank you for the fire side chat! Dogs are our family and they create serious anxious moments. I think Monty does love his vest.

"How do you want your steak, sir?" "Hatchet sharpened and medium rare, thank you."

i know its not the same but I know how you guys went thru with your dog passing. my cat died in my arms, weird thing was, I was being called in for a shift but opted not to. looking back, if I had been away that day, my cat would have been suffering and died all alone...thankful I have neighbors to help me that day. just wanna say, it's amazing to see the unconditional love you have for both Monty and Rueger. Dogs, cats or whatever pet(s) a person may have, they're a part of you. be safe you always✌🥰

The campfire story, i can totally relate to. Thank you for opening up and telling the story of your past pooch. You inspire me to go start a camp fire and cook a steak and talk about my mental trauma. Thanks Matt.

My kid has a lab dog who ate a kitchen towel.. he was soo sick n dying.. we all soo sad n scared.. he can’t even walk. The vet said he needs a surgery but if he does that, it might not help. I hugged that dog sooo tight n cried like crazy.I told him to live, live a little longer for her Ma n Pa and Grandma. I begged god to not take him away from us. I know what you mean that our dog becomes like our child.God gave us a miracle n she lived. Until now.. Her Ma baked her cookies so she will never eat towel anymore. LOL.. I love seeing ur Monty dog. I can’t see how much you love Monty. I enjoyed your video bec. Of your dog n your silliness!

My husband and I love your videos. We’ve been binge watching the last day as we’re both home with the flu. Gives us time to catch up! We’re hunkered down with our Sheltie dog who enjoys watching Monty eat bacon cheese burgers and fetch sticks. Love your positive/playful outlook on life! PS: we’re also learning a few things :) Happy camping!
