A lot of folks have been commenting that Ezra needs a dog playmate and that we should get another dog. Choosing to bring a new dog into your family is not a willy nilly decision to be taken lightly. There is a lot to consider, all of which I talk about in this video I made after we got Ezra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0AUfyoPu64

Although we’ve taken Nova outdoors - and plan to do so with Conan too - the majority of their lives will still be spent indoors, which is why it’s important that they have each other to play with and keep each other company. Ezra on the other hand is a dog - a man’s best friend. His physical stimulation and play comes from being outdoors with us - hiking trails, playing fetch, and meeting other dogs at the dog park. We don’t show this as much in our videos because it’s just part of our daily routine and feels repetitive to include.

Ezra is pretty socially awkward when it comes to making friends - he comes on very strong. He’s a beta who likes to act like an alpha, and he’s not nice to puppies - he doesn’t like their energy and licking. But he also gets nervous and anxious with an alpha dog, and can’t hold his own because he wouldn’t actually hurt anything. This exact scenario happened with my mom’s Bichon Frise - Ezra was mean to him when he was a puppy, and once he grew older and started snapping at Ezra (over Ezra’s own toys), Ezra was uncomfortable around him in his own home when we dog sat. Ezra is much more of a people dog, than a dog’s dog - if you have a dog, you will understand.

If we were to bring another dog into the family, there is a lot to consider now with all the different personalities. We would want to adopt a dog who is close to Ezra’s age, and of course they’d also have to be good with cats. But we also aren’t at a point in our lives right now where it’s realistic for us to bring another dog in. Roman and I have previously decided that if we were to get another dog, it wouldn’t be until we own a house with a yard.

We’re so glad that sharing our pets and our lives brings you happiness and entertainment, but we are not in the business of acquiring pets for YouTube videos. We bring in pets to be part of our family who fit in with our lifestyle, and we choose to share the joy they bring us with all of you. It is a lifetime investment when you bring an animal into your home, so we make that decision with a lot of thought and consideration. We always appreciate your concern and know that you also want to see Ezra, Nova, and Conan thrive - but trust that as their parents we know the intricacies of their personalities and ultimately what’s best for them and our family.

As always, we appreciate all the love and support! 💗

Although we didn't hit our fundraiser goal to replace our action camera, we did put the money raised towards this cat wall as it was a better investment for Nova and Conan's catification needs.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to Ajey, Nancy, Charlene, Wendy and Bernadette for your generous donations - Nova and Conan are so grateful! 🙏❤

Ah, yes, the affectionate cat grooming I experienced myself too this morning--
Kitty: kiss kiss lick smooch CHOMP Me: Surprised pikachu face 😂😂😂

My prediction:  your nights of sleeping are over; you'll be awakened to the sounds of 2 cats doing parkour work-outs on the new wall.

8:27 - CONAN: "i fitz so I sitz!"

Another GREAT video! 😂😂
I also absolutely love the fact that your videos are long!!! Longer than a minute or mere seconds!! Now I can actually sit back and enjoy your wonderful little friends! 👍👍
thanks for another moment of joy  😊

0:50 -- Nova cc:  You will let me love you!!!

Nova already loves Conan and he loves her.  Ezra simply feels left out.  And he is used to playing rough with Nova.  But it will all work out with time.  All 3 are Gorgeous!!  💙💜💚

Conan: “wut is kolaberate? I can’t. I don’t have opposable thumbs.”
Just wait when Conan grows up.

Nova & Conan: Mmm. Box. Box iz Nice.

If Conan ever learns the Boston Crab, Nova is going down.

🚿

absolute TOP entertainment 🐈‍⬛ !!

I love the wrestling play-by-play😂

"I'm not even a cat!" 😅

I’m thinking Ezra hopes they will be up there quite a bit!

Poor Ezra, he's probably confused by this new kitten and also a little jealous that he gets so much of Nova's love.

You’re going to need a second apartment for YOU two and your stuff!😂

jackson galaxy himself would be proud with the catification!

I love all the jits talk. lol

This is so much better than watching the news and politics.
