uh Hey everybody Eric here from nomadic fanatic I hope you guys are doing well sorry for the
absence on YouTube be honest with you just kind of been putting this one off there's no
good way or right way to even start this so um I guess we'll just delve right into it here and uh
this is not how I pictured any of this happening guys really um
when I started this puppy Journey six weeks ago I thought I had this crazy amount of love and time
and patience to give a puppy and I thought this was finally my chance to try something new and uh
there have been trials and tribulations there have been disasters it has been an incredible
learning curve and I have mad respect for anyone who's Ever Raised a puppy especially if you've
done it in a tiny little 180 square foot space like an RV that already has two kitties in it and
um um I severely underestimated the amount of work that this is going to take
um I thought we were making progress a couple times but
however it is just it has got to the point where it was too much it was it was too much I love
I love the quiet snuggle times that I get with TIG however I am I am not able to really leave the RV
or ever really even leave him it's different right now because you don't have somebody else I don't
have a couple kids that can keep them entertained and you know get some of that energy off or
someone else that can watch him while I could do a couple projects from this shed to that shed
um I've been cleaning up a lot of messes lately it has been it has not been fun it's not been
fun puppyhood for me has not been fun and um it's not something that's easily reversible
I mean you you take on a pet you take on a lifetime with this pet however at this point
I have found a new home for TIG he is going to be happier with a bigger yard with more people to
interact with not stuck in a constrained space and uh TIG will no longer be traveling with us here
on the road any longer in the meantime however you may still see TIG on my channel we may go
visit him I may share some pictures and updates uh with the new owners of Tig
but um uh this is a it's a hard pill to swallow and uh I have to think that going into this I
was probably a little selfish a little selfish thinking that I can undertake this and now I've
got to a point where I'm being selfless and I I simply want the best for take he deserves
the best he deserves the attention that he needs and I have done the best thing for him
um and also I don't know that this doesn't feel good none of this feels good um I'm just gonna
let you know though before you start typing away on your little keyboard there and saying something
nasty don't don't do it guys not in this place this is not where you do it I have zero tolerance
right now so you're either on my side and take side or you are flat out against us do not be
nasty on this channel I will remove you I will report you to YouTube you will lose your ability
to comment on this channel and I will not tolerate any kind of hate on this channel moving forward
okay so hopefully you can understand and support me and the kitties and the RV as we move forward
um it has been uh it's been a tricky few days it's been a complicated tricky few days here
behind the scenes and you guys just don't know everything that's going on in my life okay
all right in the future as we move forward because um I am packing up to hit the road it's just too
darn hot um but in the future if there are any other comments uh uh feel free to answer those
questions I do not want to continue to answer questions for the next week I probably just don't
have time so feel free to say it but uh do so in a respectable way uh don't put words into my mouth
and um again this is just for the best a TIG to to find something better in life than
what I could offer him I simply could not I could not give that dog what he really
needed and it's a failure it is I have I have failures just like you guys do I make mistakes
I I thought I'd planned this out really well in my head but I I did not
um so I'm humble enough here on my channel to at least say that I made a mistake now bringing in
a dog a puppy into my life was something that is not currently possible right now I'm not saying I
something may change later on with a smaller dog or an older dog or something like that
but um just I had to get this off my chest and share it with you um be respectful be kind I love
you all Opie and Tara and I will see you soon very very soon as we finish up the last few things here
at Camp to hit the road we're gonna hit the road guys be well I'll talk to you guys on Monday bye
