I remember your introduction of Eli and the many updates during what was a very difficult and scary time in March 2020. I found the updates and photos of your dog household comforting in the unsettling early COVID of my beloved NYC and eagerly waited each installment. Hopefully they will serve the same during this upcoming period of difficulty for our beloved country.

I have watched this video countless times. It always cheered me up and still does! We had just lost our Bonnie and after Eli, ended up with our Maisie. You and the pups were our antidote to the pandemic. It still makes me happy. Played at full volume for my husband, still in bed after a long weekend of football! ❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

How would any of us have gotten through the pandemic without our dogs!

Eli is adorable! His white markings came alittle later in his

puppyhood. That's how I tell Eli from Auggie.

'Eli is coming' is a great song, one of my favorites.

I'll take Eli's Coming over Biden's going anytime.

Thank you for this very uplifting video and post, Also for giving me a chance to once again type and say “Pete!” I was planning on being in mourning for our country today, but instead of negativity, I’m going to try to just hear 3 Dog Night playing in my head.

Thank you, just thank you! Such joy to counterbalance the depression of the day. When I see your blog first thing in the morning, I go there first. Politics can wait—beautiful life in all its shades deserves my attention now. Blessings to all the legged creatures you call family.

What an adorable video. I can never get enough of Baby Eli and his enormous paws.

Three Dog Night -- always underrated. And I didn't get the pun until the end.
