Crew looks like he is suffering from hip dysplasia many large breed dogs suffer from this as they age…God bless his loyal heart & will to live.

You all are great pet parents. It’s difficult but just being there supporting them and giving them your time and love is what they need. Love the natural methods. I kept my dogs alive for two plus years after a cancer diagnosis via natural methods. We love you Crew!!!❤❤❤

Feeling for you with an older dog. But he had and is still having the best live he can have with you two. God's blessings ❤🙏

watchin' with interest in this building technique....

Prayers sent to Crew, and to you guys during your build and beyond. It’s looking real good, but be careful with that wind!

You are truly special; creating a home from dirt with your bare hands and rudimentary methods, inch by inch, and your perseverance and fearlessness against the elements. You show us how to shine and overcome our pathetic, basic human instincts.The love and care you have for your animals and each other is beautiful. I admire you. Success with your project!

You guys are hard working and compassionate ! And you just keep facing your challenges ! Well done !

Crew has had a very good life…..you’ve got grit you two!

Healthy heals for Crew!!!!

Good morning, or good afternoon, how are you feeling today?Hope everybody's having a wonderful Day Out there.Keep up the good work and enjoy life and say hi everybody out

Glad safety is a first with you guys, love the progress!👍

Our dogs give their loyalty and love, spending their lives trying to make us happy as they are. They always want hugs, attention, and to show us love. That unconditional love is endless. When they get to where they aren't able to get around, I feel like the struggle to show those emotions when they get sick, is as hard for them to deal as the pain they are in. All they still want is to show you love, but they aren't able to. I feel we have to return all that happiness and love to them, make their days as comfortable as possible. Kitties feel this way too, but they seemingly don't care if you know it. Animals are great, i think its a mistake we think we are more intelligent than them.

It's coming along there. Darn, the video was too short! 🥰

My husband and I are regulars watching your channel. We love the desert, too. We enjoy seeing the animals and watching as you build your unusual home. We so appreciated Jess's testimony several weeks ago. Our son is high functioning autistic only recently diagnosed. Bless you for being willing to shed light on this. We understand some of the dynamics of life that Jess faces.

Please help him stop suffering

Bless Crew. He's had a tough time ever since the rattle snake bite a few years back. Good boy, Crew!

We have done something for our older dogs you may wish to try. I take a shirt out of the dirty laundry, something me or my wife have worn doing something strenuous. We lay it down on their favorite place to lie down. It sounds gross for humans, but I believe it's quite comforting for our older dogs. When they get older many dogs start losing their hearing and/or sight.

After all the storm damage across the country. I am glad you rebuilt the root cellar. You have a safe place to go. You both are working hard on your dream. And without all the tools some others have. Blessings on you both. I love watching you build your dream.
