Deputy Barney will be forever loved...

[@fridaytax]

While it is desperately sad that Barney left us so suddenly, he was a boy who lived a beautiful life with you and his Farm family, as well as his many adoring fans worldwide. Telling his story helps us all remember him with love and joy, as well as sorrow. Thanks for sharing with us

[@MaryLewis-jt5jx]

He did have your love EVERY DAY of his short life!!!!!!!!! He could not have come to a better home!!!!

[@Hilariousalso]

Life is precious and now Barney is with his Maker and will greet all who join him in his new spiritual life.

[@kimmarson8986]

Heaven needed a “Sheriff”, so they sent for Barney! I randomly cry just thinking of Barney. He had a great life with you and he enjoyed every moment ❤️

[@mollydodson4791]

Deputy Barney's life really began the day he arrived at your house. His farm days were full of more love than he had ever known. When Barney flew high over the Rainbow Bridge Bridge he took with him that love

[@carolwilliams8511]

Given no chance of life at all at birth. So we could view it all as a gift of 2 years to a dog who had no life expectancy at all with his deformities. He was a walking, running miracle for 2 years.

[@justdeb6091]

Please never apologise for being your genuine self, Sam. We all share your sadness at losing beautiful Barney. As others have said , you gave him a fabulous life there at the farm it was sadly short but so very sweet. Wishing you peace and love this Christmas season. ❤

[@margyskinner2657]

Call me selfish but when I saw your post of a 2 hour video I put all my chores aside, made a cup of tea and settled in my favorite recliner to watch. I get such a kick out of Luke’s excitement when the package contains snacks with heat and has to open them straight away. I love your followers letters so much. They are so clever and heart felt. I often find myself saying out loud “yes! me too!!” when they express their joy of being a part of the farm, and I feel their pain with they mention the loss of their beloved pets. Their gifts clearly show how much you mean to them as they are carefully chosen with you and your children in mind. So special. Talking about sweet Barney is an important and essential part of healing through the pain of losing him. Please keep talking about him as many times as you need, until you can get through without tears and start smiling again. His life with you on the farm was nothing short of a miracle and I know if you were to ask Barney if he would want a long life into old age without the Evan’s clan or two years of unconditional love, joy and a big pack of mates of his own, he would choose the latter without hesitation!! I know Barneys accident came on the heels of Tilly’s diagnosis and surgery but take solace and joy in knowing, thanks to you and the community, Tilly now has more time to spend enjoying her life to the fullest, making every minute count, riding shotgun with Luke and loving on her persons. That’s a blessing indeed. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you all from Margy in Tennessee.

I hope that Banjo can form another special bond with one of his brothers or sisters that can fill his void that special Barney has left.

[@camillanilsson2460]

I have spent some time going back to watch videos on Barney. The day he came to the farm, skinny in diaper but full of joy and love from day one. Bonded with lovley Gus instantly. The day Luke and Elle sat on the couch announced that the Evans adopted him. Many tears but a lot of laughs watching cheeky deputy sheriff Barneys antics.

[@maxsmum3561]

Honestly, It was a terrible freak accident but, if not for you both, he would have died long ago. I am just happy that I got to know him and I have been watching so many Barney video’s remembering all his fun, cheeky, stubborn ways and especially his peanut butter contentment coma face. I’m sure Barney would hate the fact that he has made you so sad. Just live every day remembering him and living your best lives in his honour. No matter what he always lived his…so take comfort in that and be happy that you knew him and loved him…we will all keep him alive, just as we do Faith and the others who have passed when we remember them and what they meant to us…❤️❤️❤️

Sweet Barney had the very best life possible while he was Deputy Barney Evans. Beloved by all his pack siblings and all the family. Not to be forgotten❤

[@carolwilliams8511]

And, unknown to him, loved by hundreds all over the world.

[@yolernlimn3574]

I can’t help but feel that the 2 years Barney had with you at The Farm were worth more than 15 years in any other loving suburban home. Every day there was filled with love, long runs, short runs, doggy friends, kiddy friends, inside time and outside time, swimming, playing catch…. It’s not the years but the life lived - and he was truly blessed to have had such a full life at The Farm.

And darling Barney lived every moment to its fullest. I am certainly one of those who always looked out for him and will miss him and his beautiful boxer qualities.

I’m to old to have a dog but I love each of your tribe so much. You and Sam have found a special place in so many hearts. Luke, Sam, Elle and Wolfie, have no idea how much you mean to us. Love you, Bev

[@swysocki3920]

Thank you for sharing what was an unthinkable tragedy with us. If I could hug you all right now, I would. It came to me while you were speaking of Barney and what a short time he was with you that you loved that sweet boy a lifetime's worth during those years. HE was as much a gift to you all as you were to him. Those of us lucky enough to follow you regularly will miss him dearly,. I did have a bit of a giggle when you were telling about Barney removing his diapers and the laundry. I remember that. HE brought us all such joy and I'm grateful to you for sharing him with us (and all the pack). Hugs to all.

Barney had a wonderful 2 years with you two and the pack and the children. Very few people would have taken in a dog with fecal incontinence, but you gently diapered him every night and put his onesie on for indoor life. You gave him a great life.

[@dmcd9999]

Thank you so much for sharing more information with us about Barney's accident. It has to be hard to get used to having lost this sweet boy so quickly and out of the blue. Having lost furry babies in both situations, I think it may be a bit easier that he didn't have to go through a long illness. But that doesn't make the shock any easier to take. Know you have a loyal community that mourns with you and loves you all dearly, including all the furry ones.

[@MaryLewis-jt5jx]

Thanks!

[@TheFarmForDogs]

Thank you so very much

[@lisadvy23]

Just saw the video of Barney arriving on the farm a couple days ago and you could tell in his eyes how happy and excited he was to be there and to meet you all. He kepts constantly going over to Luke for pats and was just loving this new experience that became his home. He was definitely living his best possible life right until the end and I don’t think he would change a single thing in his life. In the montage video you created of him and when you were all with him, you could tell how happy and loved he felt that you were with him 🩵🩵

[@carolwilliams8511]

Agree. He was basically written off as a puppy but the Boxer Rescue saved him so he could enjoy some time in a truly loving home before his inevitable early death. I say inevitable because his insides and bones were so messed up he was really on borrowed time, bless him.

[@equalityforall8418]

We love you Luke and Sam. Barney knew he was loved:) I was a preschool teacher for children with special needs. I also worked in a center for abused children. Then I became a specialized caregiver for preemies who were born with special needs, with families that had twins and triplets. My whole life, I took care of children. Some of them had pasts that none of us can ever imagine. We had a 4 year old boy who had been through 7 foster homes. I went to bed every night crying and saying how unfair life is. I wanted to take them all home. I'm now retired and crippled with arthritis. At 62, I'm still young at heart, by severely limited as to what I can do. Life is not fair. But I find happiness in knowing that I made a difference in the lives of many children. YOU did that too. You continue to do that. Every single day. As you know, dogs and children are so very similar. It is sad that so many dogs, and children, have to suffer because of the neglect of humans. You bring such joy and peace to so many dogs. You have dedicated your life to giving them the best life they can possibly have...and you gave that to Barney. He had the BEST life because of YOU.

[@SuePeterson-ke3ju]

Sam you don't have to worry. Your gratitude and appreciation comes through very sincerely in your videos. It always does. I can feel your sadness and it is so understandable. Nobody would expect otherwise with what you have been through. Nice to see all the wonderful dogs, love them all, and Tilly looks amazing. Maggie's little sweet face as she sits so quietly for parcel opening and can't hear all the squeaky fun like everyone else. i caught myself searching the group for her buddy Barney once or twice sadly , she must miss him, and poor Banjo too... Time will ease the hurt and then you will be able to remember without the sadness some day. Rest assured you gave him so much happiness and love in his time here. Thank you for taking the time to do a video, while i know you are appreciative of all the love and gifts I know it must still be hard. Have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed 2024.

[@hereafterforever2071]

Barney was a sweet and special boy. I so understand how devastating losing a dog suddenly can be. I suddenly lost my Chihuahua who had a heart murmur. One minute she fine barking her head off for dinner and after I told her to go sit down and wait for dinner, it did something to her heart, and from that moment, her murmur becaume heart failure. Within days she got SOB, I rushed her to to the ER, and she was critical. They they kept her overnight, and I spent 8 days trying to nurse he back to health, and she died in my arms. Within 6 weeks of Emma dying my American Bulldog developed a 2 day cough and it became pneumothorax and within 10 days she was dead despite everthing I could do to save her. To my greatest surprise Tumbalina died December 6th because she was fine a few day earlier. I'm devastated. She was my special soul dog because I had her longer than the other 3 dogs. I spent days and weeks lamenting if I had done things differently both Emma and Tumbalina would not have died. But it does not bring them back. The only thing I can do to keep my sanity and peace is accept it, not look back but forward to the day in the next life when I will see them again. Our pets return to Yahweh God and He holds them in safekeeping for us, with more love than we even have for them. I hold on to that knowledge moment by moment. Sometimes this happens with our pets, and with people. Love them while you can. There is a Creator and an afterlife.

It's a sad fact that whenever you acquire a dog you also sign up for heartbreak sometime down the track.

So many beautiful parcels and letters do help lighten our hearts, but watching Luke indulge in swigs of hotsauce and jalapeño flavored snacks gives me heartburn! 🔥 In the last video posted, I loved the sweet pillowcase of Barney comforting Elle as she laid her head on it.

This is what I (having learned from others) call a 'blue Christmas,' meaning it's one with lots of grief and loss. I am so sorry for you and for all of us in Farm Fan Land that you/we lost Barney this way. It was such a shock and it may reverberate or vibrate in your minds and bodies for a long time. I imagine you may see him out of the corner of your eye, even, and there be dreams of dear Barney. Wolf is at an age when comprehending death isn't very possible, whereas Elle was very, very attached and feels his absence like being swept out to see. So you have your own sadness and you also have to shepherd your children with their various levels of understanding. And it's Christmas. My heavens, many more emotions than usual which is really saying something. Please take good care of yourselves and each other and rest in the knowledge that there is love, love, love here in this community for all of you (of course including Barney). ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Sometimes we don’t know the reason why but time shows us in due course. Had it not been for the one puppy, another rarity, you might not have had all the extra cameras on-site, which ended up helping ensure Barney received the proper diagnosis. Barney was one special lad, and his time while short was fully complete loving his life on the Farm ❤

[@judypranke735]

That was my thoughts as well. I'm a retired nurse and so many injuries are unwitnessed, so it's really hard to diagnose exactly where the injury is. More so with animals who can't state where it hurts. The cameras and video gave the vet staff the best and most accurate explanation of what happened, which helps speed up the diagnosis. As horrible and sad as the outcome was. So sorry for your heartbreaking loss. Wishing you a lovely Merry Christmas.

It was because of her I fell for YoYo on that first farm day. Luke is pack leader and Sam is pack mother. You heal and comfort so many people near and far when you share these videos and let us watch as your adorable children are growing up. Barney was so fortunate to have lived on the farm and so loved by your family. Thank you for all that you do. Have a good Christmas!

I'm thinking about Rainbow 🌈 Bridge too and how happy they are... until we meet with them again. Lost my pup 2 days ago after 15 years. We've been so lucky to know them. ❤😊

@@mortalclown3812 Oh, I'm so sorry! The Rainbow Bridge is the loveliest concept I've ever heard of...to think we could be together again. Best wishes from Ottawa, and love at Christmastime. ~S.💔❤‍🩹❤

How wonderful to see Louie outside and part of the outdoor action. ❤ Just like you to bring his cat home for his ultra comfort and security. 🙌❤

Barney's passing is a tragedy. But the real tragedy would have been if he was not adopted to the Farm.

Thanks for sharing about Barney, even though it's so raw and painful for you. So many have already remarked on what an incredible life he and with you, your children and the pack. You are amazing, compassionate and caring people who are making such a difference for this motley crew of dogs.

So sorry for the loss of beautiful Barney Boy. He had a great home with your family. Wishing your family a peaceful Christmas season.

Merry Christmas to the Evans family (2 & 4 legged) & also all of The Farm's kind & generous community. A Christmas wish: to those in pain, may there be joyful relief; for those alone, may there be strong friendships; for those in illness, let there be long-lasting cures; for those in need, may there be gracious prosperity; to those that have all, may there be continued sharing of gratitude. I wish all love, kindliness & health. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.🥰🥰🥰

Luke and Sam , I truly believe that "Parcel Openings Days" are so healing to you both!" You have a chance to reminisce and tell personal stories with all supporters of the farm! We all love you!!! ❤❤❤

[@gaylepowers3981]

I love gift openings. I have found, over time, that I enjoy watching my favorite people open their gifts more than I enjoy opening them for myself. Thank you so much for sharing this fun time with all of us. Have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful, peaceful New Year. God bless you and God bless us all, everyone. 🤟

Loved Karen's Package. I agree with her the water rescue was it for me. Freddo was my guy.

[@amandatolleson7740]

Freddo is my boy too! Since the day he came to the farm!

[@lindaocasio8782]

Love, ove Freddo

[@gulsenaksu5786]

My condolences again, it’s so hard when they pass unexpectedly. Even though you had him only two years , he was loved and lived his best life ever.😢💔

[@tesssouter4521]

He certainly had a good life with you on the farm quality has to be bereft than quantity and we have to love them enough to let them go . He is running free over the 🌈 bridge now no disability now dear Barney . Thinking of you all.

[@lisaloy2011]

Cheezits, good on him for sending.
