@@bradwbangerter863Did you intend for that to sound as rude as it does? Not normally a good idea to tell a guy to tell his wife to keep her mouth shut.

Bro, you got any corn? ...... I laughed so hard I spat out my cup of tea!!!! Funny 🇦🇺

Just a boy, running with his alpaca.

[@judymac3588]

Daniel you enjoyed too much when Tina spit on Houston. I did too, hilarious! Rufus didn't waste any time professing his love for Dolly. We all miss him so much but he lives on in RJ! Thank you for this blast from the past. God bless you all. ❤

[@gloriabeggs3151]

Loved your video.

[@nbk9372]

TY Daniel for sending us down memory lane, two wonderful God's creatures Rufus and Bella. They were always a delight to watch with you, your family and the AFH fur babies. They each had a story to tell and they also taught us many lessons, both the good and the bad. Rufus and Bella, what stood out is the lesson and the message they left us; never give up, with sadness comes hope, with hope comes unexpected surprises, surprises brings happiness, joy and laughter! The circle of life as God intended.

Loved seeing a few “older animals” Issac, Rufus, Big Mac, Bella, Dolly”. Some still around and some gone but not forgotten! I truly miss Bella!❤

[@kathyhayes7369]

Rufus was amazing. He left the world in a horrible way but left something that noone thought he could do according to the vet. Surprise here is RJ. Boy he's just like his dad. Thanks Daniel

[@judycline4211]

Rufus will forever be one of the most famous animals from AFH! Myself, i can say i have had so many laughs from Rufus's antics. The sad part is the way his precious life ended. That was wrong in every way. I wish you could have caught whoever did that and punished them. Another favorite animal on the farm from the past was Whopper the big male cow. He was so funny!!

[@jay90374]

No proof it wasn't a natural death!

[@edithchapman6651]

I forgot how independent and funny Rufus was....So stately and uppity as if he would not associate with the others. What a walk down memory lane. Loved this.....the kids were so small

[@susanterpening3386]

I loved walking down memory lane with you and the 🦙 Alpacas. RJ is definitely his father's son. And the shenanigans will continue through RJ and keep Rufus's legacy alive. I think RJ is quite the chip off the ole block. I love how he is always talking to you guys. Keep your amazing videos coming. I always enjoy when a new one comes up on my play list. And I am sure many others feel the same way.

[@katieallen3927]

So good to see Rufus, Dolly, and Bella in this reminiscent video; miss them all.

[@aussierider41]

Seeing DeJay’s excitement over the new baby alpaca again is everything. :)

[@billywrenn9609]

I ain't gonna lie, Daniel. I got a little misty seeing Rufus again. His personality was crazy wonderful. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. Be safe and God bless.

[@jennifermassie7227]

How I miss that guy!!! Love this video you are doing to honor our boy Rufus!!!!❤🇨🇦❤🇨🇦❤

[@debraanneclark2188]

Rufus was a crazy lovable donkey poodle and was such a sad day when he was killed but his legacy lives on in RJ ❤❤

[@FeatheredLife]

I miss both Rufus and Bella. Thanks for memories.

[@notdiyheather]

What a wonderful look at Rufus's legacy! All the emotions!❤

[@carlapierle8623]

Rufus lives on with RJ and you even got Isaac back. Two beautiful miracles! Thank you for taking us on this journey. It was bittersweet seeing old friends no longer with us.

[@theresahalley1297]

What a wonderful video. Going down memory lane with Rufus and seeing also Bella, Big Mac and Whooper. Made cry just a little but more happy moments.

[@suziedrust9194]

Oh Daniel Thank You So So Much For this memory lane video of Rufus and Bella!!! I never met them in person but Loved them more than y’all will ever know. I am 77 and a sentimental old fool and still grieving over them and little Jay too. Just like I remember all of the sudden my dogs that have passed I out of the blue think of your precious animals too and cry. It’s sad we don’t get to have so many more years with our animals. They are family ❤ . Thank God for bringing them to us and the wonderful memories they leave with us & to you and DeJay for all the love and care you give to all your precious family and animals. Hugs and Love Grammie Suzie ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rethacharette7830]

I never laughed so hard when Houston got spit on by Tina and you just stood and laughed. It was so unexpected. That was priceless. That was such a beautiful video. It was nice to see how much everyone has changed and see Bella as well. Have a wonderful evening. God Bless.

[@lorikodama8212]

Wow, this was a truly a treat for me to watch. I ran the entire spectrum of emotions from pure joy, to heartbreak. It was wonderful to see some of your sweet, precious animals that have passed on. Its always hardest to lose a loyal family dog, which made the loss of Bella and Callie not only heartbreaking for your family, but equally as hard for your AFH family around the world. Big mac and Whopper were unforgettable characters and they served their purpose well. Rufus and Dolly were 2/3's of the OG AFH Donkey poodles. Dolly was a wonderful mom and gave you some beautiful crias. Rufus was a legend and will always be remembered. Thank God that Dolly was able to give you one last gift before her passing...RJ!

[@bowed305]

What a great revisiting of the past. Truly enjoyed it. Houston is such a natural with animals. It's great seeing how much has changed and how much is basically still the same. Folks certainly shouldn't be whining about this video being too short. Thank for sharing.

[@RatdogDRB]

Thanks for the trip down memory lane with the donkey-poodles. Ol' Rufus is missed, but he definitely left behind a fine legacy in RJ and Reba. Dolly's missed too. God bless you and your family Dan'l.

[@diannecrockett8207]

So many good memories in this video. Laughed until I cried. So good to see Big Mac, Whooper, Callie, Bella, Dollie and of course Rufus. Love your videos and appreciate all the hard work you all do. Absolute blast from the past. Such a journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Love to all❤️

[@quantumleap1560]

What an awesome video, Daniel. So wonderful to visit back with Rufus, when the kids were younger (omg, Houston 😂), the sadness of losing Rufus but then the happiest moments knowing he lives on!! This was like sitting through old family videos...the laughing, the crying, and most of all, the love ❤. Good times, good times.

[@elmawallace5322]

RJ was a little miracle for sure. What happened to Rufus was horrific. Seeing all the donkey poodles growing up was awesome. Loved this video honoring Rufus and his life. Dolly was a wonderful mommy. ♥️🙏🏻. Watching the kids growing up was amazing. 🙏🏻

[@fureveryoungfarm3752]

Aww, Little Houston, Little Emmalee, Rufus & Bella. How could I not cry watching this???

Rufus was a special guy. RJ is a very special guy too and love watching him grow up

[@pamelahousley7543]

What a joy seeing this. Boy how the kiddos have changed. Rufus was a mess!!!! He definitely was a hoot & RJ is so much like him. Was wonderful seeing Bella - Daniel thank you so much for putting this together - laughing & tears. Love y’all.

[@stacy5445]

[@felicityhollis4613]

I remember all of this but it's still heartbreaking what happened to Rufus and I am so thankful for Rufus jr.. Houston's grown so much from when DeJay was crying over his curls being cut off. Even the adults have changed. It is fun to look back at the old videos and I really liked this one 😊❤

[@Carolynfoodforest355]

Rufus was so beautiful and so special. 😢

[@craigroberson8757]

I laughed histarically, and then I cried, and then I laughed a whole lot more. My dad used to say that he was full of piss and vinegar. That is RJ all the way around. He is a fun memory of both Rufus and Dolly. The trip down memory lane was so enjoyable.

[@pamgriffith1937]

What a magnificent library you have of family and animal memories!! Houston and EmmaLee have literally grown up before our eyes!! Those videos are priceless❤️

[@SquigglersWigglers]

That was so wonderful to go back again. I laughed and cried again. I was so happy you included one of your famous wrestling matches with Rufus! That’s what I miss the most was him giving you a run for your money. Ornery Rufus was so much fun to watch. I miss him. Looking at the kids and comparing them to now is incredible! They have grown up so fast. Next thing ya know Houston will going to him prom and Weston will make ya grandparents! Life is going fast.

[@jeannepotts45]

Now I really miss Rufus. Funny,crazy, adorable.

[@cinthiafydrych6176]

Thanks!

[@susangustafson4523]

Thanks for the journey. As much as it was enjoyable, I was also dreading the clip of Rufus' passing and when it came, I couldn't control the crying, again. I remember losing it the first time and part of it was due to how y'all were hurting so much for something so senseless. We all loved him. I didn't remember Lucy's was his also. But what a blessing and thanks for this. It did my heart good.

[@cynthiajohns5878]

I really enjoyed seeing Rufus and his journey with all of us. I still shed tears when he left us and I shed tears when he was reborn in RJ. Life has it’s circle and Arms Family Homestead proves it. Thanks for the memories love you guys👍❤️🙏

Great video Daniel 🎉. Memories last a lifetime, Rufus sure was a character and your right RJ takes after him. Sad ending of his life, sorry no one was caught. Noticed Bella also in there, bless her, she was adorable. Your family sure have grown and changed in that space of time. Best wishes for the farm and look forward to more videos . 🙋🙏🏡🐐🐕🐷🦒♥️

[@luella2u152]

I didn't realize that alpacas made so many noises. They are certainly interesting animals. I know that they are pack animals in many countries and that their fleece is good for spinning and weaving. Alpaca socks are toasty warm and soft. I'm so sorry about Rufus. I felt bad when you lost him. I'm glad that he left a legacy of little creas.
