I Made Dustin Cry..| Dealing with Loss and Celebrating Life

Dustin lost his sweet Great Dane, Jaeda, in September. She was a big part of his life for ten years, and for most of her life, it was just the two of them. The loss was very hard for Dustin and I hated that I couldn't be there with him while he was experiencing this.
I wanted to get him gifts that he would cherish forever to remember Jaeda. The downside of the long-distance life is that it took a while for me to see him in person to give him the gifts. I had to hold the secret for weeks so that I could finally surprise him in person! In the video, you see that Dustin was very touched by the gifts and I think I successfully pulled off the surprise!
Thanks so much for watching and supporting our love! We love you all so much! 🖤 🤍

That was a nice thing to do Keana, and Dustin will always cherish those memories and love You dearly for that. Hope you get another dog Dustin. It will help to ease the pain somewhat.

    New Subscriber here... really like your channel. Watched a couple of your videos and love the vibe. Losing a pet is so hard as they become our family so this was a really lovely act of love for your man Keanna. All three presents were beautiful but as a photographer the album was the one that struck a chord. This was the perfect example of what I try to tell clients about capturing moments of your life and getting them printed as a reminder of a moment of time preserved forever. We don't realise how important something/someone is until they become a memory. Take care and wishing you both a very happy Christmas!!
