Have you ever jumped into a giant pile of fall leaves or is that just for the dogs? Tell me down in the comments! ➡️ Follow RFSDan: http://www.youtube.com/rfsdan 🐾Shop Our Calendars and Coloring books: https://etsy.me/4u1qnr6 🎥 Previous Vlog: https://youtu.be/Sx-u5O0YpEM ➡️ What Happened to Kira: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iMwk1u5QJE It is the day after our big Halloween spectacular and it is definitely weird waking up to a new reality in the house. We are officially navigating this new life with only Eleanor since we lost Kira. It is an emotional transition for all of us but we know we have to keep going because Eleanor needs some happiness and so do we! Thank you all so much for your amazing kind words as we figure this out together and keep telling our story.
Today is all about massive fall cleanup here in Alpena Michigan! Jamie and Dan are tackling the huge task of deconstructing over 100 rotting Halloween pumpkins from our display. We load all 103 of them into the trailer to take out to Gregs property so the wild deer and woodland critters can have a giant pumpkin buffet! It is a very messy and smelly job but seeing the animals enjoy them out in the woods makes it totally worth the effort.
While the guys handle the heavy lifting Eleanor and I are making our own fun in the yard. Dan built a giant leaf pile and watching Eleanor jump through the leaves to find her hidden toys is exactly the smile we needed today. We end the evening watching a gorgeous Michigan sunset eating pizza and giving Eleanor a brand new dragon toy to cheer her up. We even heard a wild owl in the backyard tonight! We hope this brings a little bit of joy to your day too.

So, I know you guys saw the Halloween special quite a few days ago,
but good, wonderful, beautiful morning Pawdience.
This is actually... Now, we're back on track.
This is the day after Halloween.
So, if you didn't see the Halloween spectacular,
we'll put it like somewhere up in here.
But now, we're back on track from here on out.
I guess, it's welcome to the new life, huh?
Weird, weird with one dog.
Anyway, let's roll it into today's video because I've already been
filming today and you're gonna get to see
this dog be extra happy today. Roll the video!
Are you eating the pumpkin?
Oh my goodness, it's a wonderful beautiful morning, Pawdience.
It's the day after, oh he's going for the tomato.
He's going for the green tomato.
Are you hungry, buddy? Yeah, I'm trying to get,
he's trying to get into every one of the pumpkins.
You see him, Eleanor? She's like, oh yeah, I see him.
He's trying, he's trying to eat the
pumpkins. He didn't get in one.
Might have to go take a lid off so he can get inside one to eat it.
He didn't get in one. He'll be back. The process has started.
Deconstruction time.
It smells like pumpkin.
Not like the good pumpkin,
like when you put a candle in it and it smells like cooked pumpkin.
That smells like, throw it away.
It's like, I don't know, like noon-ish.
Right now?
Yeah.
It's like 3 o'clock.
Oh.
Okay.
It's like 3 o'clock.
We were going to try to leave them out for another day,
but it got sunny.
Yeah, and they're starting to get really smushy and stinky.
So off they go.
And it's Sunday tonight, so like,
not enough people would drive by at this point.
Yeah.
We're gonna load them up in the trailer and see what's next. Stay tuned.
Eleanor's ready. Oh honey. Eleanor's ready to help.
Hi Elle. All right, taking them down
into the trailer they go. They smell horrible.
Okay, I know you were having a moment. You okay?
Elle, open the window so you can hear us better. I know
this is gonna be the worst part of all this you guys. She does not.
Do well alone. Like we're literally right out there
and she's just in here yelling. Yeah. Yeah,
I know. You're just in here yelling, right?
We're not leaving you. I promise. Not so bad
for cleanup this year. So far, right?
They're not super slimy. No. And all kinds of bugs have
gotten to enjoy it right now. It's a bee.
Yeah. Earlier with the fly, the dragonfly,
the squirrel this morning, the chipmunk yesterday. Yeah.
Yeah, don't munch on them. They're gonna go get thrown out
in the field and animals will eat them.
So it'll come full circle that I do like and and yes,
we just got done carving them and they're still good and and yes
We're getting rid of it. It was hard the first time I did
this of like I wanted to start setting them down, right?
Right?
By the end.
Like no, I gotta save it
But the deer's all, and the chickens all like them.
The critters will enjoy the pumpkins speaking of keeping
a few jamie says I can keep these on the porch as long as I want
To so these three are staying
and this one that apparently didn't get carved
He was lost in the field
and this one giant pumpkin didn't get carved so he can stay too.
I'm secretly recording.
I'm pretending I'm recording Jamie and realistically I'm recording
the kids that took the pumpkins on their e-scooters
which is kind of the coolest thing ever.
Never.
Two of them. There goes the other one. Oh that's great.
That's too great. Hey Dan, we're keeping you around.
Dan's doing manual labor for us.
Do you get to rake leaves at home?
No.
Ahhhh!
Oh, that's true. Duh!
But the real question is, do you jump in the pile after?
I wouldn't cannonball.
Well, I wouldn't cannonball. The ground is still there, man.
It's not a pool.
If you want to set it, just rake that whole line straight in that pile.
Yeah, there you go.
Yes! Nice!
Oh my goodness, who came to see you?
Is that Andy?
I'm gonna check everything out.
Yeah, I know.
Indy come to say hello. Run. Indy's like,
I'm waiting to see what Jess says.
I'm waiting to see
what Jess says. Play. Run.
Indy's like, no, she's crazy.
Okay, Indy, I promise.
Indy's a herding dog,
so she doesn't play like Eleanor wants her to play.
Indy want her to play. Watch the door behind
you. I was gonna say,
they're gonna run right to you.
Oh, Eleanor, you goofball. Play with this.
Will you let her chase the ball?
She's like, no, the dog yelled.
Crazy, but we can be friends. Let's be friends. I know.
I know I said I didn't like you, but I lied. I like you.
You like everybody all of a sudden.
Maybe we should.
Eleanor just wants to chase.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I know. Okay, we're good. All right, Dan, you made the leaf pile.
Everybody's making leaf piles.
The neighbors are all using their mowers.
I'm trying to figure out the logistics.
Have you ever jumped in a leaf pile before?
Only if I've done it here.
I don't know if you did.
How you doing?
I'm good.
I can't remember.
The internet will remember.
All right.
Yeah, I'm just trying to try to be as light as I can.
Is it a splash? Is it a cannonball?
Oh, Dwight.
Jump, Dan.
It's a tuck and roll in the middle.
Jump.
It's up to you.
Do it.
That was kind of a cannonball.
What do you think?
I think this is fantastic and itchy all at the same time.
The lady stopped to watch me jump in and I couldn't...
That's Marie.
Oh, it's Marie.
I'm sorry.
So now she saw you do it too.
Oh, yes.
Yes.
All right, let's load some straw bales.
Okay, let's go.
Or stay there.
Come on, Al.
Look, get it.
Yes!
Look, Elle, leaves! Yes!
Look at it! Get it, Elle!
She's like, whoa! It smells like pumpkin!
It smells like so much pumpkin!
Yes!
Do you want to try again?
Get in there! I know we're not in the yard.
She's like, but I need a good running start, Dad!
I need a good running start!
Yes!
She's like, I'm so confused! Yes!
One more time!
Come here, babe! Come on!
Come on! Get it! Jump!
Come on! She's like, you do it dad, and I'll do it too!
Yes!
Is that fun? She's so happy!
There it is! Bless you!
You goofball!
Oh hey! Look what I found!
Dan's glasses! Come here!
Do you want to get in the leaves? Come here!
I know! We knocked them all down! Come here!
Get in the leaves!
Oh! Here they are getting tall again!
Yes! Yes!
She's like I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking about it.
This is my leaf pile and I got a leaf pile.
All right happy dog. I'm pretty happy dog.
Come here. Get in there. Get in this pile. Come here. Get in the pile.
Get in there. She's like right here
though it smells real good. Oh yeah I
don't know if she'll do it. What is that? Oh man what is that? Oh my
goodness. What is that? What is in there?
She found it. She found it.
She's like, wait, do it again. Do it again.
Do it from the other side.
Elle, come here. Come here.
Come here, Elle. Come here. Look. This way. I know.
Come here. There it is again. There it is.
You found me.
Why do you have 5,000 photos on your phone?
Step, step, step, step, step, step, step.
You found it.
What's up here?
Whoa.
You want some? Get there.
Oh, it's better. She's like, it's better now that it's warm.
Well gee, you got to have a whole bunch
of fun without even knowing you're gonna have a whole bunch of fun.
It was really nice to see her happy like that.
That makes us happy as well, doesn't it?
See, that makes us happy as well.
Trailer loaded as you guys saw,
Dan and Jamie are heading out to Greg's to dump pumpkins.
We lost an hour of daylight last night
because we had to take the clocks back.
So hopefully, they'll be able to get some footage
of them chucking the pumpkins to get rid of them.
Almost jumped into the pile of them, and then I thought twice.
Yeah, you break your ankle.
And there you go, 103 pumpkins.
It's buffet time for the deer.
I've only seen you in porcelain form. Oh, you're pretty.
And as I was saying, if you guys don't know,
we don't treat the pumpkins. We don't do anything
to them. So they go out to Greg's house and like the animals,
the chickens, anything out there in
the woods can eat them. That's why they go out there.
So they're going to go do that. And then
when they get back, I think we might watch some movies
because we're all kind of tired and a
little bit sad. I don't know why,
but I know it's been hard for you guys as well. Like this weird
journey of the vlogs where I had to jump
in and tell you we lost Kira but we still had all this
footage and I didn't want to not give you the footage of Kira
so we gotta keep telling the
story right? We gotta keep doing it.
We gotta keep going because that dog over there needs
some happy in her life as do we and as do you guys
and thank you guys so much for all the
amazing kind words and everything
that you have said like this is just...
Wow is this hard. Like it was hard, now it's even harder.
And for those of you that keep asking,
are you gonna do a Memphis or a Kira plushie?
Are you gonna do? Yes, give us some time. Just
give us a little bit of time.
I know you guys all mean well and I do love that that is a concern of
so many of you. Like I don't know, I think it's,
I love that you love them just as much as we did.
I have to stop talking now or I'm gonna start crying again
and then you're all gonna start
crying again and we're all gonna go downhill from here.
So turn the camera around. Look,
Look, cute, happy puppy.
They got a mini leaf pile.
What is with... What's with that position on the couch?
Yeah? You want me to turn the A.C. on,
cause everybody's gone and we'll chill down in here for a little bit?
That's a good plan. Let's do that.
Holy cow! Look at that sunset!
Eleanor's been looking at it this whole time.
I gotta go outside and look at this. That's beautiful!
Yeah, that's pretty. I wonder if it's as pretty out at Greg's house,
the guys are still out there chunking pumpkins.
That's a very pretty sunset for tonight.
Trying to figure out what to make them for dinner.
But you know, I don't really feel like cooking.
I'm trying to figure out before they get back.
Will it happen?
Steppin'?
Probably not.
I'll probably end up having to go get something
but enjoy this beautiful sunset with me.
I can't handle.
She's like, I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to have pizza.
I think I told the vlog that I was trying to figure out food.
Does this count as a cooking video?
I mean kind of.
I'm cooking.
It's right there.
Let's see how long it takes you to tear it up.
She smells pizza.
But she's like, I got it.
Now you have your own dragon.
Yeah, get it.
You get it. Get that piece of plastic off there,
and I'll take it right away from you as soon as you get it.
Get it. Why every time?
Here, I'm gonna take that off there before you even get a chance.
Here, take this one. This one. Right there. This one.
Oh, I like the little hard part.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
It's got wings. Look, it's got wings. Look at that.
There it goes. There it goes.
There, get it. Get it. Get it. Get it. Get it.
Take it. Take it.
It's moving. Get it.
There you go.
You have to bring them to life.
Once you bring them to life, then it's like,
oh, it's alive? Oh, it's alive? Now I'll eat it.
You play with it however you want.
I can guarantee you the camera's
not gonna pick it up, but I just heard an owl.
Yeah, I don't think the camera's gonna pick it up.
It's too far away, but that was really cool.
This is what Eleanor does
when she comes outside at night now. She just stops
and listens and looks. There you go.
No, you still have, no, you haven't. Come on,
I came out here with you. Come on, there's nothing scary out here.
Come on, let's go. No, there's nothing scary out here.
You have to, no, I know there's also a dog
barking way over there. Come on, let's go.
You gotta go potty. Come on, go on, you can do it.
Geez, oh Pete. Gotta give her the encouragement.
My goodness, I haven't heard it again, so I
probably wouldn't have caught it on camera, but that was pretty cool.
Oh, there she stopped again.
Stopping and staring. I'm right here.
Yeah, I know we're gonna have to get you a friend,
Chicken Little. Pretty dang cute on that bed.
Hey, I hope we're doing a good job keeping you
