A Few Moments from our Weekend

[@addictivecyanide]

Seeing Shadow so free from her previous behaviors, worries and trauma is so beautiful to watch. ❤

[@violimo]

She's healing in leaps and bounds.

[@kp8381]

She's a beautiful,happy girl and so are her baby girls.

[@hookshanky2062]

Agreed. She was a broken soul.

[@ranelldavis6363]

Couldn't agree more. Made me tear up

[@lissawick2171]

Agree. Today she really appreciated her new life. Even watching over, and playing with the puppies, and with a toy for the first time I've seen! Wow, that's amazing. Shadow, you are a special girl, in heaven on earth. All smiles.

[@blakeeubank4520]

Shadow has come so far. You guys are doing such a great job.

[@gayedawn1]

She is running so fast now, almost flying 😍

[@maryleebutvill5174]

@@gayedawn1 amazing , I agree its wonderful 🐕🐾🤗

[@susansaenz2691]

Ms Shadow there r no words for her wonderful transition! Bless her heart. She's a precious girl. All THANKS TO LUKE N SAVING HER.!

[@scooterbaby1]

Shadow becoming a true farm dog, what stamina she has gained. Fantastic stuff

[@maryleebutvill5174]

I agree 🐕🐾🤗

[@Sherriehoney]

My heart belongs to Shadow. All because of your care.

[@sherryw.1466]

I don’t think it’s possible for Shadow to smile any bigger than she currently does! I love it♥️♥️♥️!

[@sharondamisch4856]

Isn't her smile the best?! 💕

[@joannebarnes7943]

Shadow is having such a lovely life she is so relaxed and chilled

[@jo-annpriebee]

Beautiful to see Shadow run, run, run and obviously enjoying herself!! go Shadow go!

[@maryleebutvill5174]

It is beautiful, she's so happy 🐕🐾🤗

[@janzwoolf8531]

Just makes me cry each time, so deserving of all the love coming her way. 💕 Go Shadow 🐾

[@lindasutphin5621]

What a journey Shadow has been on! So awesome to see her blossom!

[@nancyayala2217]

Thank you Sam and Luke for sharing those beautiful moments from your weekend.

[@Aunty-A]

Uncle Luke has worked a miracle with Shadow! It is such a blessing to see her free of her past and running with the wind! What a precious precious girl!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@madoldbatwoman]

I see the GSD girls have fully recovered. Watching them all run together was like watching wolves. Little Archie decided he was going to live in Luke's pocket for the weekend and Pablo looked like he was trying to lay his head on floating tennis balls. Th Pointer X pups are going to be such handsome dogs. They're already carrying themselves with a bit of elegance, they seem very gentle too. But the star was definitely Shadow. It's still so thrilling to see her able to be so relaxed and able to move freely through all those dogs with a big smile. Although so powerful, they really are such wonderful family dogs, loving and full of energy and fun. She looks so healthy and fit too, absolutely thriving in every way.

[@1946didi]

Wasn't it wonderful to see Shadow rolling in the grass and so relaxed. Brought a smile to this old dial I can say. She's come ahead in leaps and bounds for sure. She just needed the right people to show her how to be a happy, free dog.

[@lissawick2171]

Watching the GSDs gave me happy and awestruck thrills. So ancient.

[@lynngore9872]

Ditto 👍

[@deeg3346]

Oh to be like Shadow.....to be able to shake off, forget or even forgive every past abuse or harsh word received..... to be able to live happy and free in the present moment.....what a world it would be. Beautiful Shadow.

[@bobu1024]

🥰💯💕

[@BarbaraPietersehappysnapper]

Wonderful seeing Shadows behaviour with the children and the puppies. She is a happy and beautiful soul, which only shines through thanks to DDC and your unstinting efforts to rehabilitate these misunderstood and mistreated dogs. Thank you.

[@EllieTheWheaten]

Two Boxer heads - one toy! Cutie Pie, Elle and Luke! Two little staffies back to back! Evie and Shadow! Puppy attack on Elle! Shadow in the middle of puppies! Miss Violet grooming little Wolfric! And more! So many lovely moments!

[@maryleebutvill5174]

I agree 🤗🐕🐾

[@lissawick2171]

Hi Ellie, wonderful review, I wast thinking if I wrote all the wonder I was witnessing, it would have to be pages and pages long.

[@violimo]

Evie reached out to Shadow early on. Such sweetness.

[@EllieTheWheaten]

@@lissawick2171 yes one could easily have filled page after page!!

[@ChrisInPa16123]

Barney and Bailey! What fun.

[@Dharmarenee]

Pablo and his love affair with mud, I’m here for it!😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@kayelapsley5693]

Absolutely delight to see Shadow living the life she always deserved ❤️ Luke Sam Family and all the team this world needs more like you all God Bless you all hugs from UK

[@marygardiner9533]

Shadow has done the work and now reaps the rewards just as Freddo, Bobbie, YoYo and more. Amazing what loving kindness and the right training can do for dogs. DDCF is really heaven for dogs.

[@debbieryan-agnew3937]

What Luke has done to get shadow to where she is, is just brilliant 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@FromSomewhereElse]

I love Shadow. What a sweet beautiful soul she is at heart. Thank you for all you have done to help and love her 🥰 Lovely video.

[@lindawilnewic8690]

I so enjoy watching your children's interaction with all the dogs. What a wonderful life you are giving your children!

[@ediewall6360]

Heaven for the children and dogs Sam, Luke and Team do all the work. Someone has to. Heaven does not run itself

[@magieetsynchronicites5143]

The transformation of Shadow is really amazing. Her face has changed, she looks so cute, gentle, happy. She did it so well. Look at her now! That's magic! Wish you the best, sweet beautiful girl!

[@hoggwarts]

Not been able to log in for a few weeks but wow shadow what a lovely natured doggy. You have given that girl a chance in life. All the new pups and miss violet doing so well. So happy to see.

You’ll never know the stress relief your videos of the farm give. Seeing Shadow’s joy and all the everyday kindness your World embodies ❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾🐾🐾🌍

[@jostewart4048]

So lovely to see your family feeling better and having some fun down time together. Pablo is quickly becoming a Farm Dog. Shadow is happy to be a part of the pack and is just so relaxed. Great job DDFT Team. Is there anything more beautiful than a baby's laugh? Watching Wolf on the swing laughing made my heart smile. Thank you Aunty Sam for sharing this video with us, it definitely made my day. 🐾💕🐾💕

[@franwuertz5704]

My heart soars and the tears flow when I see the change that Shadow has accomplished, and all due to the love and guidance you have given her. She is so lucky to have found you. Thank you

[@AM-rp8qe]

13:33 wow, Banjo, Matilda and Rosie are looking so majestic when they run now!

[@bethmeadows9489]

Can't add much else about Shadow! She looks great and what a speedster! Thank you for the change you have created in her!

[@sharondamisch4856]

Thank you, Michael, for saving these doggies. So happy for all of you! 💕

[@liggieperkins9037]

What a perfect weekend. Watching Shadow, you can't help but feel such love and pride for her. She will never look back. Her happiness is all over her face. While playing with the puppies she looked like a puppy herself. I always enjoy watching the kids makes me smile. They also are living their best life. A lifetime of the best memories as kids. Good job mum and dad. 😘👏🐾

[@karentaupin9595]

OMG! I've said it before, watching your videos, I am completely in my happy place. Seeing Shadow, so happy being a farm dog. The relationship between Miss Violet and Miss Red, so beautiful. Lily just makes me smile, she is so sweet. The giggle of Wolfie on the swing and all the activities in general. Farm life 💖 it's bliss. Thank you so much for sharing 😘🐾🐕

[@polishboy5]

It just warms your heart seeing shadow playing with all the pups! being care free..and whoosh she is super fast!🐾🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@dshey6802]

Shadow is such a grass lover--any kind of grass--long or short. She loves the children.

[@sharonrimsza7960]

So wonderful for Shadow. She is so happy. It is wonderful that she does not have the stress of having to always be on guard against other dogs and most probably bad people. Love all the puppies. They are going to be big. Just looking at their paws. And Archie the Dachshund is truly Luke’s little shadow for the weekend. Wolf is growing so fast. He will be an additional Dad’s helper in no time. Thank you Luke and Sam for sharing.

[@melissavanest9197]

Shadow looks like she's smiling all the time and the happiest dog in the world!! I loved watching the change in her. Beautiful!!

[@AmericaTheScrewed]

The transformations from unhappy to happy dogs is so wonderful to see. Shadow such a love.

[@patriciagriffin1505]

For a little older dog Shadow can sure move. It always amazes me.

[@a.m.6672]

How lovely it is to have some sunshine back! Archie enjoyed the weekend and he's so sweet with Wolfie. Pablo kept up the dirty dog beauty treatment mud baths 😂 Shadow just craves affection and it's lovely to see Miss Red and Miss Violet having such a good day. Have a wonderful week farm fam 🐾☀️💕

[@khandro5685]

Je suis tellement heureuse de voir Shadow jouer, courir, demander des caresses..... elle est détendue.... elle a compris " le fonctionnement " de la ferme!🤩😍 Les deux Miss lui ressemblent beaucoup, je trouve! 🤔😊 Votre fils Wolfy est si heureux dans les bras de son papa, avec qui il partage tout, le temps du week end! Super! 👍🥰😋😃

Siete di grande conforto, sono immagini che aprono il cuore, anche quando le cose non vanno benissimo. Grazie di 💚

[@kp8381]

Somewhere there is a children's book to be written about shadow and her life. Coming to the farm pregnant, sad, scared,behavior issues,etc then fast forward to now. Running free, loving her life, enjoying every minute of the family and pack. The book could be about overcoming adversity and with love and wonderful people who care, you can make it. Loved this video. Thank you DDFT family. 🐶💜

[@vcrobin8666]

Remembering how Shadow reacted just a few months ago, it's amazing to see the puppies getting right up in her face and she remains happy and relaxed! It's wonderful seeing her live the happy life she deserves! Glad you all got to spend such lovely weekend time together! :)

[@lorenabolland3688]

Shadow's transformation is next level amazing. She was under there all the time; just needed the right people and environment.

[@the_Heathers]

Shadow is a beautiful dog. She is beyond sweet and affectionate to the kids and puppies. It will be extremely hard to say goodbye. 💜🐾💜

Love 💞 this one keep watching xxxxxx

[@Ana-wt7xf]

Thank you🌹❤🙏 continue with your important job, spreading awareness 🌺💗

[@lynchalmers9026]

What an amazing difference in Shadow. So friendly and loving with the puppies and acting like a puppy herself! She is a great example of what loving attention, consistent reinforcement of good behaviour and disciplined training can do. You have done a wonderful job with Shadow and saved a dog that was unadoptable and would likely have been put down. Bravo Luke. Thank you for your commitment and perseverance with the shelter dogs!

[@astrologerdawn1200]

Seeing Shadow living her best life is wonderful!

[@sheilastedmon5122]

I'm here with my family including my two Goldie's putting up Easter decorations when the phone bleeped. I sat to watch this lovely video. How blessed are we to give and receive the love/time of our children and our dogs. Sometimes I get lost in day and in what I'm doing, but these videos bring me back to what is important and that's family. Thank you. Love from Dublin.

[@lissawick2171]

Beautifully said, so right on.

[@Danika_Nadzan]

Well, you just made my weekend better! So many lovely family moments. Archie looked like he was on vacation, just lounging around. Pablo took the dog version of a "bubble bath" with all those tennis balls! And Shadow, oh my, how glorious to see that happy face and that farm fit body hanging out with everyone! As usual, Elle, Evie, and Wolfric are just adorable...the picnic in the backyard, the big laughs on the swing, then the bunny pajamas...just precious! Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments with us!🥰🥰

Shadow went from "I'm not sure she should raise her own puppies" to "Shadow is raising all the puppies." You did good work there guys.

so many lovely moments, all smileworthy. thank you for sharing. the biggest thing for me is Shadow's transformation , hanging out with her family, splooting on the grass and smiling, her speed and stamina on the paddock runs, her horrid past forgotten.

[@karentarleton8522]

What a beautiful video. I must say Shadow is a completely transformed dog and looks happy probably for the first time in her life and she can finally relax knowing that she is safe and doesn't have to be on her guard. She was even playing with the other puppies which she probably has never been relaxed enough to do. She reminds me of Freddo when he finally turned the corner. AMAZING xxx

[@olga138]

Archie is such a chill little pup. Thanks for all the wonderful shots of all the dogs and the kids. Great to see Shadow in the home pack.

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

You rocked the weekend, Shadow! I see Red's grown some this week, and bonded with the goats. The Pointer Puppies and Boxer tug of war are adorable. There's nothing like having someone understand you because they're just like you somehow, be it physical or spiritual breed or family member, bestie or close colleague at work or volunteering. Wolfie's facial features are developing so quickly. Look out, Aussie girls! It's always great to see the family enjoying time together, but it's become more precious with Elle starting school. You can see her natural leadership talents even more now than before. Evie is just thrilled to have time with Elle before the week begins, but also happy to whirl around playing in her own imagination. The world has much to look forward to with this bunch.

[@phoenixmallen7508]

I love seeing Shadow’s happy eyes. ❤️ I bet she would have loved belly slides with Bruce, she looks so relaxed now and is soaking up all the love. She’s gotten so fast and fit! Pablo seems to have needed an extended spa treatment; mud masks rinsed and reapplied frequently! 😂 Lily is so precious with her happy stick prances. What a great weekend for all! Archie is such a gentle guy, I always love seeing him. The PointerX pups are so big now, and absolutely into it all aren’t they?! These are the best moments aren’t they, just being with family and enjoying the day!
