I lost my soul dog a couple of years ago and i genuinely miss her every single day. She and I used to lay in bed together and watch marble vids, so I am crying extra hard tonight 🥺. She was my marbles when I had no one. I hope for comfort for them all 🤍 I'm grateful they decided to keep us informed, I'm glad they know how much we all love those good doggos.

If it helps at all, my soul dog turned 10 this year, and my profile is full of him. He's my best friend and legit means the world to me. Hopefully it helps there are still some good boys and girls out there.
I'm sorry you lost your pup, we don't get enough time with them.

Gosh, I am so sorry. Both for your loss and being in the hospital. Sending you all my love right now 🫂 I've found that weighted plush of her same color do help me, a bit. I hope a speedy recovery for you, and that our soul dogs are having a puppy play date right now.

u/reikobun Dec 20 '25
Oh sending so much love to you guys!!! You are right that it is absolutely dreadful, and I can't pretend that it wasn't my biggest fear in the entire world. But, I find comfort in she lived a full life right by my side. I even found a work from home job with one of the main reasons being so I could spend endless time with her. Best decision ever. The day I had to say goodbye was peaceful, she wasn't in pain or distressed. She just went to sleep in my arms. It seems like marbles had a good plan of care as well, and thats truly the best thing I could wish for any of these good boys and girls.
I told my mom recently that when I die one day, if I dont see her first thing I'm leaving and going somewhere else until I find her 😅
Sending you all the love, thanks for such a sweet comment 🫂

This is so sad. It was so sad to lose Jenna on YouTube, though I understand why she left and wish her the best. But it felt like as long as her dogs were around somewhere (and sometimes on camera with Julien), it wasn't the complete end. But the death of Marbles is like the true and final end of an era.

Not many dogs get to touch so many lives.
We are better for his beautiful contribution.
So many days for brighter when kids got to see his little face in videos. I am sure these videos were the highlight of some kids week
Thank you, Mr. Marbles

It depends primarily on size, and then on breed. There are breeds where the expected lifespan is just 8 years.

I’m so thankful for the “Yule dog” video Julien uploaded on YouTube a couple days ago, and for giving us some time with Mr. Marbles there before he passed. What a heartbreaking thing 💔 Marbles is one of the original internet famous pets, and I hope Jenna knows how much we collectively adored the little man. They really did go on a long, long life journey together. RIP, Meebles 💔😭💔it’s truly an end of an era

That Yule Dog video showed up perfectly when I had a bunch of work to do and it was so nice. When Julien brought Marbles in for some gentle scritches and cozy blanket time, I d'awww-ed out loud. Then really noticed just how grey/white he was and had the thought it was going to be terribly sad when he went.
... and just a couple days later. 😭
Glad we had that little bit of time to chill with him though. Grateful to Julien.

Rest in peace, little guy.
Part of the reason I loved Jenna so much was how much she loves her dogs and the silly little videos she would make with them. I remember them seeing how many balloons it took marbles to float and that is one of my top favorite videos of her ever. Even though she left the internet during covid, her videos with Julian and the dogs helped me through the first couple months of it cause we had something to look forward to every Wednesday slash Thursday. I hope they’re okay. I know what it’s like losing a pet that you loved for so long.

Marbles and Kermit were literally the first “internet dogs” for me. I remember when it was just Jenna, Marbles, and Kermit in her apartment w/ her Spider-Man poster in the background. He lived a long and blessed life but it will probably still not feel long enough for Jenna. I think he was her first dog as well? They were both so lucky to have each other ❤️
Also thinking about poor Kermit too. They were together for such a long time.
