BIG Storm | Parcel Opening | Chat on a Couple Questions

[@siegeofherons]

I didn't think it was possible to love you two more until I saw this video. Luke brought tears to my eyes when he talked about learning what value the videos are bringing to those of us out here with depression and other mental health issues, since he has had his own journey and knows personally the importance of finding things that make you happy; i.e., the dogs and how they love us unconditionally. It's so true: I struggle with depression and anxiety, and my day begins with The Farm and watching the dogs' antics, learning training tips, and feeling the warmth of the Evans family coming through every moment of these videos. Also, Luke is a man after my own heart: learning about different cultures and cuisines, medical and science facts (Rover's surgery photos may be gross to many, but he and I are both equally fascinated), geography (y'all should put up a world map somewhere and stick pins in it for the location of every package or letter received!), and all the many Renaissance skills it takes to run a farm. It's lovely to see people love learning so much, and constantly be seeking it out. Sam, it would be great to see you in front of the camera more (I know, you hate it, but you're lovely and smart and we enjoy seeing your kind, beautiful face). I hope your dream of a dog sanctuary comes true! Love the kids, love the dogs, bought the calendar and have it just behind me now. Following a calling like yours is never an easy path, but it is rewarding every day. You are helping so many dogs and people, just keep following your heart and you will never regret it. There is a world of supporters out here sharing your laughter and tears. If you should ever get to a place where hard decisions need to be made, just look into the lens and let us know. We will pull together to help you, just like you are helping us. Love and kisses to the great big Evans Pack.

I was just getting an extra fix of The Farm here this evening, and read your comment. Albeit from a year ago (already!!), but I just had to tell you; this is a beautifully stated note. 😊❤ I suppose one could even say that it's timeless, because it's as true today as it was then. Why can't we all be as good people as the Evans family is? Think of how much better this world would be! ❤

[@carolwilliams8511]

​@@manypawsmanytalesAbsolutely. The world would be such a pleasant and happy place with no wars and no animal abuse.

I asked Mayvers doggie peanut butter people to send Sam and Luke some jars of peanut butter for the dogs, and I said I'd pay! I've just received a wonderful email from the company saying another Farm supporter had posted the video to it. Because of the great work Sam and Luke are doing, the Company is donating some jars (I dont have to pay). Wow!

I can't believe how quickly Rover has bounced back from his surgery. I was worried he was going to hurt himself, but evidently he knows his limits. That's a testament to his excellent surgeons and the excellent home care and love.

Exactly. The trivial gets the most views. Always the case. I find too many people really seem to have no depth. Sad.

[@la.chameleon]

Another two hours were well spent watching this late afternoon our time (NZ). Each & every video makes my day. Being a member makes me feel that I am playing a tiny part in making the Farm's work possible. Letting a few YT ads run is also only a small cost in time to help the pack live their best life. The Farm community is a very special group of people, many of whom are incredibly kind & generous. I feel fortunate to be amongst you all. To the critics- please leave silently if this channel no longer gives you pleasure. Abuse and trolling have no place here. I can't wait until the next Farm video notification comes through. Thanks, Luke & Sam. Like so many others I feel like I personally know you & the pack from afar. This is no ordinary channel. Love and kisses to all (two & four-legged).

As a dedicated follower I had no idea how the financial side of youtube benefited you, thank you for explaining how it works. I have never missed a video (sometimes multiple views) but have never really felt my viewing contribution from half a world away really made a difference (other than benefitting me with joy). This absolutely makes me want to share your channel with others. Your openness and willingness to share your point of view and life with your followers to benefit dogs who may have never had a chance in life is wonderful. I'm just an average person and also one of those who was quite convinced you may have been making a mistake when stopping Doggie Day Care (worried for you, worried for your clients), I get it now, more power to you, my admiration for the chance you took grows.

To Sam and Luke, you’ve made me feel like I have a family again. And you give me the confidence that the choices I make for my dogs (to give these rescues the best life possible and let them be themselves). You make dog behaviour look normal, not something you need to control all the time. Like destroying toys, pooping in the house, squabbles among the dogs. You make laugh and you make me cry (a lot, but thats okay). Thanx, a lot.

Yes it takes him longer to learn but he's come 💯 s of Miles n his training which is such a Miracle for Chancey and Thank Goodness Luke has not given up with him If tht had happened we would never see tht big ol smiley LOVING face of tht big headed boy.

I’m one of the people who watches your videos (all the way through) because they’re so delightful and I have my special favorite dogs, but also I’ve had a history of severe depression and anxiety. Your videos always light up my life. I have three little dogs (rescue) a poodle, shih-tzu, and Maltese and now consider my home a tiny (1/3 acre city lot) Farm. I get a lot of joy and happiness from your training ideas, I love seeing how happy you seem as a couple, the loving kindness you show your precious children. I tell all my friends about your channel. So I always come away from each video happier, calmer and feeling right with the world. Thank you so much for all you do.

Its making a difference. I really do wish you are blessed with good fortune.❤

Hi all...I started watching during Covid. I'll admit I skipped ads and never hit like. I was so stressed out about everything that I couldn't get the video started fast enough. About 8 months ago I realized I wasn't helping the farm so I went back to the start and rewatched and liked all. Now doing during the ads I check my emails, msgs and do the NY Times crossword on my phone. And for those really long ads I'll read a short news article or start a load of wash or change the sheets.

Hey Luke and Sam, I was wondering if you could do the "meet the dog" type segment like you used to do. When you used to focus on one dog, whether from your pack, holiday pack or shelter dogs and talk about their breed, their history, characteristics, traits and talents.

I must say, this was the silliest box opening ever! The peanut butter faces. Maggie and Violet trying to fit in boxes. All the dogs realizing by now that box opening is the BEST TIME ever. I don’t know how Maggie fit herself into the box. And it really seemed as though Miss Violet was licking the other dogs as a stress relief for the thunder storm. She is such a delight. Her can-do attitude - it might take a while, but she figures out each area and what is going on with her incredible nose, and what additional information her ears and eyes provide, and then just joins in. I love watching her just run and run in the paddocks and bush, and do her laps in the big pool running from ramp to ramp, and then just jumping in and swimming as fast as she can - I am constantly amazed that she doesn’t crash into dogs and objects. And the other dogs know she is different, and they just jump over her or zip around her. Sometimes, I could swear that Miss Red nips off to nudge her back to the group sometimes. We could definitely learn from Miss Violet!

I just always love the videos, over and over again. The dogs, the kids, the property, the good-natured cheeky comments! My day usually begins with a cup of tea, 2 dogs at my feet and a farm video. Thank you so very much.

[@marietheresa7866]

Yep, Kim. I enjoy the "cheeky" Comments as much as Every one of them. Wonderful, caring, generous fans from home & abroad is what the Farm has won and for All the Right Reasons. When the ads are on, I have ample time to scroll thru and Reply to some. Win-Win for All. In fact, additionally, I let any long Farm vid that I've watched, play out again, while going about my chores. Thus the ads run again and that's my daily tithe. Love from 🙏🇮🇳🙏🇮🇳.

And much respect for standing your ground with your decisions and not letting comments sway you. I love seeing these dogs evolve into 'good canine citizens'. It gives me hope.

I love Luke's head-cam because when he turns his head, we see what he is seeing. I don't know if it's comfortable, but it makes great video! Wolfie sure loves the water spigot. I always enjoy hearing your discussions about various topics. I find it distressing that people were mean to you about changing your business from day care to rescue. I love that you're helping dogs that no one else wants. You're doing work that many of us find so valuable and loving. Ignore the nay-sayers and follow your hearts. 💗💚💛💜💙 PS: The type of coffee pots you received are called French presses. You put in ground coffee, pour in boiling water, and wait 5 minutes. Then you slowly lower the press, catching the grounds and pushing them to the bottom of the pot.

I love the head cam as well. Another benefit is seeing Sam more often when Luke turns to talk to her with it on. Great video option. 👍

Hello Luke & Sam I have been a member for quiet a few years now but this is the first time I have made a comment on your channel. I love all the dogs, big & small. I must say Joey & Bandit are my favourites. I can’t believe how much I love this site & look forward each day to your videos. The longer the better as far as I’m concerned as I don’t watch TV these days. So boring..I’m hooked for sure. I have a new 6 months old Tenterfield Terrier and am trying to put all your methods into practice. Not always easy. He’s a stubborn little bugger. Keep doing what you are doing. Love it all. You are both so natural in front of the camera. I soooo look forward to your videos each day. 💖

I think anybody who wants their child to follow in their footsteps can take a leaf out of Luke's book.. Luke is teaching Wolfie to love the farm very early in his life. If Luke would have waited until Wolf was much older, running the place would have become much more daunting for him.. maybe even make him think: farm = chores (and i believe a lot of teenage boys are allergic to chores) 😆. Wolf is yet a baby but i can already see that he will care for the farm very well, as his dad does. 😊 He loves it and Luke is Top Dog for making everyday a day of learning, discovery, and adventure for The Little Wolf. 🐺

[@marietheresa7866]

Hi, L A 🙏🙏 And to think Wolf is well under 2 years of age ‼️ Children listen very little to what they're Told..... BUT they follow Most of what they See 👀👀 Wolf's a case in point.

I’m glad to hear things are working out for you, I sure hope it continues to work and grow in the future. Many people are isolated for various reasons , many health related, but other reasons as well. Even though my daughter and family are just upstairs if I need them their lives are very busy and I am alone a lot. I’m fine, have lots to do but your videos and some others, just cheer me up everyday. Thank you for the time you’ve put into sharing with us all. I’m hoping many of the watchers who are not subscribed will subscribe now, it doesn’t cost anything, you don’t have to make videos , no one will bother you to do anything. I’ve had an account for 12 years, subscribed to many, many🤣😂 channels and have never posted even a second of video. The more of us who subscribe and let the ads run ( I mute some occasionally if it’s driving me crazy) the more it will help support the dogs and the family. Just the cost of feeding this many dogs , never mind the medical costs is crazy. 🥰🙋🏼‍♀️

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

It is nice to see the friendships that form, Shadow/Hope, Joey and little Billie. The peanut butter section is priceless and should be made into its own bit. Who could have guessed a gift of a small jar of peanut butter would feed 20 plus dogs and be beloved by all (but one)? At one point we realized the dogs could smell the Squeaky Pigs, the balls must be similar. As usual, a box can be a perfect "best" gift, as Miss Violet has tried out at least two of them... Thank you to all.

Rosco’s brusque “No thanks” to the PB took me back to the recent video in which Luke and Jase were discussing the dogs. Luke explained that Rosco doesn’t like to eat with the rest of the dogs, thinks his position as Deputy sets him apart, that he should only eat with the humans. So no way was he going to stick his tongue into the same jar as all those other dogs. So funny.

Wow! What a storm! I will always be thankful to the Doggy Day Care for helping me get through the worst of the pandemic. As a nurse, I had a closeup experience with the tragedy that fell across the world each time I went to work. Knowing that there was a video ready for me to watch when I came home from work in the morning that featured happiness, really, really helped a lot. Now the world is starting to settle down a little and the Farm is in a new stage. I am still here because there is stiil happiness in the videos that help to end my day on a good note. But most of all, there is love. Love of family, love of dogs, love of life. Saddness at times, of course, but that's life, isn't it? But through your videos, the saddness and the happiness is shared so that we can all help each other get through and appreciate it together. Thanks for all you do and for taking the time each day to share it with us. Each dog has a special place in my heart, as do each of you. Wolfie is a guaranteed smile just watching him exploring his world and splashing in mud puddles with that lovely smile on his face. Package opening has become one of my favorite times, too! The kindness and thoughtfulness of so many people shows that goodness still exists in this world. Best wishes for the New Year! I'm not going anywhere!
