On their 1st April's video titled, "We Have to Give Our Puppy Away... Saying Goodbye Forever," the family begins with their normal routines until Everleigh is seen face down on the couch. She was crying over the news that they were "giving Carl away to somebody else."We feel like we can’t take good enough care of him at our house," Sav says to the camera, while red-faced Everleigh sniffles beside her. "I feel like we’re always gone, always filming or out and about … We’re always just busy doing stuff," she adds.
