Good wonderful beautiful morning Pawdience!
I see that tail going. I see it. She's like, puppy get out of my face.
I would like to enjoy some snuggles from mom. Yeah, I see that. I see that tail going.
I'll give you all the snuggles. All the snuggles for Memphis. Memphis is like, I will take all them snuggles.
Oh my gosh guys, that's like the sun. It rained for the past couple of days.
But now it's nice and sunny, but it's only like 42 degrees outside. So it's deceiving. What do you think? Huh? Where's your sister?
Huh? Where's your sister? Okay, she's outside. She was digging a massive hole. We should probably go check on her.
You know what she hasn't had in a while? An apple. Let's see if we can find her.
Hey princess. Oh man.
You know, don't you? Can you sit? Good job. Let's see. Can you?
Hold on. Trying to do this with one hand. Don't drop the camera. Okay, this is difficult to do with just one hand. Sit.
Thank you. You ready? Would you like this apple?
Yes, go girl, go.
There's no snow to bury it in, but I think you'll be happy anyway.
She's like, I got an apple. I got an apple. I got an apple. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
You're just getting one. Well a half of one. I'm not giving you another one. Could give me another one mom.
I would take more than one. All right, you play with your apple. Oh, it's getting windy.
We got a wind advisory happening today. So it's gonna get windy today.
I swear, this dog is always living her best life. She's just sitting in one of the chairs.
Look at her face.
She's just sitting in one of the chairs at the table out there, living her best life.
Guess what? We got a box.
So the next portion of today's video is sponsored by our friends at HelloFresh.
Oh, what did we get in the box this time?
Oh, we might have to make this for lunch. Creamy pesto, grilling cheese, Tabatas, some crispy chicken and bacon alfredo and some...
Crispy Frank's red hot spiced chicken. That looks good as well.
So one of the things I like about the HelloFresh boxes is all those recipes
I just showed you, everything in the box for those comes pre-portioned.
Which means less prep and less food waste. Let me show you what's inside the box.
So as I open this box to show you guys what's inside, I also want to let you know that nearly all of the stuff
inside this box is recyclable or made out of recycled materials.
So anyway, everything comes packaged in the box.
You have all the bags for each meal on top. Each one of the bags is listed for what recipe it is.
And then there's this scan code, you know, in case you don't want to use the cards.
And then underneath all of that, it says don't forget about ingredients which may be hiding under the ice.
So everything has these nice ice packs, which you can reuse these if you want and then there's all the meats.
Is this like a comparison to how much bigger you are from the last time we got one of these boxes like a month ago?
You're not gonna fit in that box for much longer, sweetheart.
You're like, but look at me. I fit in this box right now. Look how cute I am. Your sister's in the box.
Yeah, should we package her up and send her away? Yeah, no, I don't think so.
You want out of there? Can you do it on your own?
Here, we're gonna tip it over. Ready? Three, two, one...
You did it!
So one of the other really cool things about HelloFresh is each of these meals has a little bit of
customization you can do to them. Some of them you can switch out protein.
So like if you want like turkey instead of pork, some of them have options to do that.
Some of them have options to switch out the sides as well.
So you're always able to kind of like customize the meal to whatever fits your needs, which I thought was really cool.
They even have vegetarian options as well. On each of the cards, it also lists the prep time and the cook time.
So depending on how much time you have, you can kind of figure out what it is
you want to make. Like this one only takes five minutes and then it's 35 minutes to cook.
This one takes 10 minutes to prep and 30 minutes to cook.
So you kind of get an idea of how long each meal is gonna take in case you're in a hurry.
So if you guys want to get your own HelloFresh box,
you can go to HelloFresh.com and use the code SnowDogsVlogs16 for up to 16 free meals and three surprise gifts.
Did I say that right? I did! I said it right that time.
And I know I usually say stick around to see what we're gonna make for dinner,
but I think we're gonna make lunch today.
I think we're gonna make those cheese ciabatta sandwiches. Those look amazing.
So I think that's what we're gonna make today.
What are you doing, hon?
Making sure jars aren't old looking.
Right?
No, jars last a long time.
We didn't show the last time we made syrup.
We got this many jars. We ran out of little jars.
So then we went to big jars and then we got other big jars and another big jar.
God, that's beautiful.
It really is. I gave my mom and dad a jar this size.
And I just shipped out two jars that size.
This is thicker, so it's harder to see through and I don't know if you've ever noticed about syrup bottles,
but most of them are very, I don't know if we have any, very slender.
Right.
Yeah, but you'll notice like this is...
Here.
Yeah, hold it to the side.
You gotta hold it this way.
There you go.
And then the camera wants to focus.
Yeah, on the outside.
Hold on, I'll fix it.
Here, do the leg.
Eh, you get the idea.
Kind of, really, just see the yard.
More syrup.
Yeah, we're getting ready to do probably close to the second to the last round, you think?
You think we'll get another round?
I don't know if we might.
I mean, it's starting to get pretty warm.
Yeah.
The trees out at the farm have not yet budged.
And it's still been freezing at night, so as long as it's still freezing at night, we'll see.
I mean, the one I went to empty was literally just dripping in the bucket as I was emptying it.
And I'm like, oh, this one's freezing.
I think we did pretty good so far this year.
Yeah.
And we have these ones over here.
Yeah, we have more over there.
That's the...
That's the first year.
Yeah.
First year run.
You can kind of see the difference in the two colors there.
This was the very first run.
Yeah, there's all three.
So that's the very first run.
This was the second run.
This was the third run.
You can kind of see the difference in color.
I got to take a picture of that.
And now we're doing fourth run.
See what we come up with.
Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun.
It's a boiling.
So we took it from almost the full pan to just a little below half.
And it's ready.
So this time we got seven of these jars.
No, I lied.
Eight of those jars.
And then one little jar.
And then a little bit left that we put in the fridge.
And it is considerably darker.
So now that we're done with maple syrup, it's time to make lunch.
Brought to you by HelloFresh.
First step, wash the produce.
Now we're going to cut these up.
Potatoes washed, sliced, and seasoned.
Now they're going in the oven.
While they're cooking, I mixed together the sour cream and the pesto.
Might not be the straightest cut, but at least they're both uneven on one side.
I've cut the cheese in half.
I cut the cheese!
Cut it in half because I'm going to grill half of this.
And sliced up my tomatoes.
Cheese coated and put in the pan.
If you have never worked with grilling cheese before, I actually have.
This is really cool because it doesn't actually melt.
It just kind of gets all warm and gooey.
And doesn't melt like normal cheese, which I think is pretty cool.
Smells delicious.
Looks a lot bigger than it is.
Yeah.
It could be hot.
That's some flavor, right?
Good stuff?
Mm-hmm.
It looks pretty good.
Yeah, they're good.
Alright, I'm going to eat mine now.
Well, that was the perfect lunch.
And now, I can get ready to take Miss Kira to her trick dog classes later.
If you guys want to get your own HelloFresh box, you can go to HelloFresh.com

Thanks again to HelloFresh for sponsoring today's vlog.
Alright, young lady.
You stay here and hang out with dad.
I'm going to take Kira to her last trick class.
Hey, when I get home, remind me and we should show them what Kira has learned.
Because I probably won't be able to film much while I'm there.
Yeah, there's going to be a lot more of that when you leave.
Here you go.
I'll give you this camera because I have my phone.
It's hard to film while I'm there by myself anyway.
You be good.
You're always good.
Alright, I'll be back.
Mama's been gone for like two minutes.
I'm sad.
It's not like you're excited or anything, are you?
How excited are you?
There's a whole bunch of deer.
See them?
There's even little babies.
Oh, did you see them deer too?
They're eating food.
You cannot go after them.
Look it, they see you.
They're like, hey, we see you.
See them?
They're over there eating food.
Oh my gosh, Kira.
Kira is like, I need to go play with them.
Are you going to have a heart attack?
You're okay.
Oh my gosh.
Are those deer so close?
Oh, and you don't even know what to do.
So Kira graduated from trick dog classes.
I got it right this time.
And I'm going to try to show you guys some of the things that she learned.
I might do a better video of this on the Gone to the Snow Dogs channel.
But for now, we're going to see if she'll do any of the stuff.
She did graduate.
We'll see.
Can you wave?
That was really close.
You got to do two pumps.
Can you wave?
That's pretty good.
Can you high five?
High five?
That's pretty good too.
Can you bow?
Oh, good job.
That's pretty good.
Can you sit?
She can't sit pretty, so we compromised.
We do lady.
That's very nice.
Lay down.
Ready? Crawl.
That's pretty good.
Can you wave?
Good job.
Can you do it again?
One more time. Come on.
Wave. One more time.
She's like, no.
I did all these things already.
We're going to try a really hard one now.
Sit. Lay down.
Lay down.
Lay down is really hard for her to start.
Let's see if we can get her to play dead.
See how she plants her feet?
She doesn't lean to one side or the other.
It's really hard to figure out which way she's going to go.
It's also why we had a hard time teaching her roll over.
Play dead.
Play dead. Yes.
Okay, up.
Bang.
Yeah.
That's pretty good.
That was pretty good.
Those are the things Kira learned. Sort of.
In trick dog classes.
I don't really want to end
this vlog on this
side of the note.
You guys may have already seen it
posted on our Instagram or Facebook.
A friend of mine
I just found out that he
passed away last night.
Some of you may know him as well
from things we have shared of his.
He lived in New York.
He was from pawsomedogs.com
His name was Paul.
I've known Paul for forever.
Since like 2013.
Almost since the beginning of
Gone to the Snow Dogs.
I think I've known Paul.
I just found out that
he passed away.
He leaves behind his three Siberian Huskies.
Hopefully by the time this video goes live
we will have found a home for them.
I almost wasn't going to record any of this.
You know what?
This is real life.
Things like this happen.
Sad things happen sometimes.
We won't dwell on it.
I want everybody that's watching
to do me a favor.
One, snuggle your pets.
Snuggle your family.
Snuggle your friends.
Also, if there's someone you've been thinking about lately
take a moment
just send them a message.
Let them know you've been thinking about them.
I literally just talked to Paul a week ago.
About this little girl right here.
We were talking dog training about you.
Weren't we?
He thought you were pretty dang amazing.
He sure did.
We were talking about dog training about you.
Anyway, we're going to end this on a super sad note apparently.
I'm not kidding.
Right now, if you're thinking about somebody
just message them.
Tell them you love them.
You just never know
when the last time you might see them is.
Again, I know.
Not normally the way I am on the videos.
This is super sad.
But, this is also real life.
Doesn't mean we can't stay positive about things.
Sometimes, life just kicks you in the teeth.
Right?
It just kicks you in the teeth.
Alright you guys.
We hope you enjoyed the rest of today's video.
As always, thanks so much for watching.
Thanks for subscribing.
Stay positive. Dream big.
We will see you again soon.
Stop what you're doing right now.
Stop watching this video.
Pick up the phone and call a friend.
Pick up the phone and call a family member.
Get on your Facebook Messenger.
Get on your texts.
Text somebody and tell them that you love them.
Don't be afraid to tell the people that you know around you
that you love them.
Hey, speaking of.
I love you guys.
Like you guys.
I need to turn the camera around.
My eyes are really, really...
I've been crying for way too long.
They're like, can we get a treat and go to bed or something?
I'm like, are you okay?
Maybe. Maybe not.
Good night Pawdience!
