Thank you so very much to everyone who has sent us parcels for Christmas. There are just a few more that we’re received after this opening and we are going to try and open them Christmas Eve.
Thank you so very much for the love, thought, time and effort and also money that you have generously put into these loving gifts for us and the pack.
We all had some fun opening them, even Louis who joined us. He’s been hassling Kitty a bit so he’s been coming along with us so that he doesn’t give Kitty a bad time when we’re not there. He quickly discovered what the dogs love about mail opening too.
We talk about beautiful Barney at the beginning of the video. We think about him all the time. Apologies, we’re not ourselves at the moment. Me especially. So I’m sorry if I missed saying something and I hope the special people that sent us parcels still can feel how grateful we are even though we might not be our usual selves on this occasion.
Thank you everyone ❤️❤️

Much love to you my dear Evans family ❤ take care of yourselves and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 🎄🎊
Life is precious and now Barney is with his Maker and will greet all who join him in his new spiritual life.
Dear Sam, Luke, Elle, Evie and Wolfie may I wish you all a happy and joyous Christmas. 🎄 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
I thank all the generous people from around the world that have sent these beautiful and thoughtful gifts 🙏🏼❤️ I feel blessed to be part of The Farm community 💕💕💕
A Merry and blessed Christmas to you all 💕🎄💕
Sam and Luke you are so strong and brave to talk about dear Barney boy. I could feel the pain you are going through at the this sad time. I miss his beautiful baby face in the pack 😢Thank you for giving him a loving and fun filled life for the past two years. Watching this parcel opening video and observing the doggie pack I felt that Maggie too seemed subdued as well as sweet big boy Banjo who is missing his buddy – a big hug for both of them 🤗🤗🩷💙
OB1 has taught Hope well 😂😂😂 lovely video guys and shared greif makes it a little better to bare ❤❤ time is the only healer. Merry Christmas 🎄 everyone 😊
PS I must say Till Till is looking her awesome self ❤❤
The news about Barney was so shocking to everyone. But as I cry when you cry Sam it’s hard to watch just how upset you really are. I just want to say in case you haven’t taken a moment to read these words…that it was not your fault… I imagine you must have so much guilt and thoughts of what could we have done to prevent or help him. That is the hardest emotion of all, the guilt of it. But there is no guilt, Barney was literally in the moment loving life. He couldn’t have been happier. I just wanted you to read that somewhere, that someone from across the world wants you to know that it wasn’t your fault and we are all just so grateful for what you do for your pack. I couldn’t do without your calming, normal genuine family unit in this chaotic and cruel world we live in… so please know that the whole community is sending you the biggest hug and wrapping their arms around you. You are very loved.
Oh and by the way Tily looks amazing!!!!
Sending you so much love and appreciation ❤❤❤❤
I love watching the videos, l shed a tear when you talked about Barney 😢miss him so much, it was lovely seeing all the awesome stuff toys,clothes,food etc Merry Christmas 🎄🎅 look forward to seeing more video’s in the new year. Lots of love ❤️
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 has been a week since we lost our beautiful Barney Boy. I miss him so much. I send hugs and kisses to you, his wonderful family. ❤🐕🦺🐾 I still light a 🕯️ according to the tradition of my country. It will burn for Nine days to light up his path to eternal joy. ❤❤❤❤
I don't know why, but I am envisioning you out on a bush run with the pack and Louis on the cat tower in the back of the quad. This is far funnier to me than it should be. Before you said why Louis and his tower were traveling everywhere with you, I was thinking you guys had to trek that tower a fair distance, that is really commitment to including the cat.
We all loved him!
You all do the fantastic job taking care of Barney. It’s so hard to lose one that you love you take care of each other while you’re processing this painful situation. Praying for all of you.
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 ❤️
37:36 I remember seeing Barney’s poo trail! 😂🥹💔❤️
Barny had a life with you and the pack that other dogs can only dream about. I will miss seeing the three boxers together. But he is with the dogs that were waiting for him at Rainbow Bridge to play. Thank-you for all the videos sharing the farm and your family you all have helped me thru a very hard loss. MERRY Christmas and a Happy new year. Love you all
Awwww Sam, one of the reasons I loove you guyz is because you are sooo real ❤️ my heart still goes out to you guyz and you all must be sooo heartbroken still, mainly because it was soo sudden…… you guyz deserve all the gifts we can dream of…. hope you all have as good a Christmas as you can ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Loved the long video. Was thinking it was different without Barney. He was certainly missed, especially when Maggie and Hope were together. They were like the three musketeers. The gifts were fantastic and I think they were just what you needed. It was nice to hear you bantering back and forth and see you laughing again. Wishing you and your families a very Merry Christmas. Love to you all. ♥️🎄♥️🧑🎄🎅🏻♥️✨
❤❤ Coming up a year since loosing my boy Pippin (29/12). I had allll the feels throughout this single video.
As I sit here in my Sparticus Vizsla Farm tee shirt – eating junk along with Lukes snacking his way through another unboxing. My heart is aching but also happy, because this channel helped me take the brave change in career choices and I'm now working in the Animal Care Services field – wish I'd done it sooner!
Thanks Luke & Sam
Merry Christmas family xoxox
Sam, Luke, Evie, Elle and Wolfie Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with joy and blessings. Thank you all. I am so very grateful for the extended farm family who really do resonate love and caring around the whole world!
Tears are good as they cleanse out the negative energy, that is my belief anyway. The tears of sorrow will become the tears of joy in remembrance, so never regret any tear you shed. They are a sign of a big heart, full of love for your babies, and the dogs(Cruiser too), and cats who are such a big part of your farm. I have not forgotten the goats either, those rascals along with your horse(insert name here) are all something each farm family member(they are so much more than a mere subscriber) looks forward to with each posting. Thank you all once again for opening your home to new friends that you may never meet in person, but invited in here online. God bless and the Merriest of Christmas wishes to all. And a bright and beautiful New Year!
Oh Sam it’s very clear how heartbroken you are over the loss of the beautiful Barney💔 for you to continue on and do these videos while your struggling is just amazing and we all are thinking of you xoxoxo
Barney had a rough start in life but when he got to you he was given nothing but love, right to the end. It's very clear to us all that you gave him the best life, no matter how short it was.
Rosco sending poor Sam flying hahaha, I'm sorry but I laughed so hard.Barney was so well loved and had a spectacular two years at the farm. I hope that 2024 will be wonderful. Happy Christmas ♥
Merry Christmas Evans family! I must admit I avoided watching the videos due to the pain and loss of Barney 😢. I couldn’t bring myself to watch. That was a real blow.😢 Your love for the pack is so contagious. I can only say that the spirit of love 💕 has no boundaries to distance or physical touch. We all love him so much, as we do the whole pack. Thank you for sharing your love and your family. May God continue to bless and be with your family!!!❤
Sam and Luke: It is Christmas Eve morning here in MA, USA. In this season of darkness and light, I want to share a few thoughts with you. In recent years, the world has felt heavy and dark. It is easy to feel overwhelmed and despairing. But then there is the Farm. An ordinary family doing extraordinary work – providing hope and space and love to a bunch of "misfit" dogs. You have shown the rest of us that we can all have a positive impact on the world; tiny beacons of light scattered here and there. We, your followers, come from different countries, speak different language, have different customs, beliefs and politics. Yet the light you shine have drawn us all together – united in love and support for the work you do. It is an extraordinary feat in extraordinary times. You have – I'm sure unwittingly – shown us that the only thing that really matters is not what divides us – but the love that unites us. And you have done it by just by being the humans you are. As for the "misfits" you have taken to your heart – they are also unparalleled teachers. Miss Violet, Miss Red, Freddo, the late and beloved Barney, Miss Hope and all the rest has shown us that there are no obstacles that can't be overcome. Their tenacity and joy is infectious. I want to add that all of us are "misfits" in our own unique way. Misfit is a label that should be worn with pride, as your pack has shown. I know that has been a hard year for you – and that this season has been suffused by grief. But there is light – there is always light. And love. Be at peace.
Sam no need to apologize about the tears, because you are not crying alone. 😢
Luke and Sam please don't blame yourselves with what happened to Barney. As you mentioned in this video that he had other issues going on. You gave him the best 2-years at the farm. He was living his best life. He will always be a part of the family. At one time or another we've all had to put our family pet to sleep. We understand the feeling you are all going through.
Thank you both for having such pure souls and caring so much for those beautiful four legged innocents that were let down in the past.We’ve been with you through sleepless nights of worry , through the tears, the joy and utter love. Baby Barney Fyfe will be imprinted in my brain with those gorgeous eyes,his sweet nature and those adorable boardies he first wore in the pool🧡I just finished re watching him with Uncle YoYo and the pups and how he too wanted to help🧡. May you both have a blessed and loving Christmas as you are loved so very much. 🇦🇺Stani, Dean & Tucker ❤️🧡🐾🐾
Hi Luke, I spent 25 years in Emergency Medical Services and was diagnosed with PTSD. I'm a boxer mom, they are defiantly my breed. The boxer breed is a very family friendly dog, child like playful their entire lives, loves children and love the pack being home with them. I'm finding that I'm really struggling with the death of Barney. I think it's the fact that is was traumatic verses a medical condition. I'm devastated that we as a farm community we couldn't save him. I'm still very upset about the traumatic loss of beautiful boy Barney. I cry every day about Barney. I live in Canada and can not understand how a dog across the world in Australia that I've never personally meet has had such an impact on me. Hugs and love to Evans and the entire Farm Community 💖
Barney Boy had the best life thanks to you taking him on and damn, that Lad went out with a bang. As tough as it is to take on board, Barney lived the life of Fandango and is now free of pain and nappies in Doggie Heaven X
I’m going to miss seeing Barney so sexy in his clothes. I’m just so glad he found the love and happiness he had during his time at the farm. Thank you Sam and Luke for everything you did for Barney . RIP Barney ❤️❤️😘😘🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing the parcel opening. Always a great time including the tears that are sprinkled in. Love seeing the doggies’ excitement with new toys and yummy treats. Luke trying hot and spicy foods never gets old either or his enthusiasm for “snacks” in general. lol. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and loads of fun with the kiddos! Jacquie from NH, USA.
It's a sad fact that whenever you acquire a dog you also sign up for heartbreak sometime down the track. With his physical disabilities, it is doubtful anyone would have taken him on full time so he was incredibly lucky to have found you. You gave him the best of everything & he left you before his situation got too bad & caused much suffering. Please, celebrate his life & know how much he loved you all. Happy Christmas to you all.
Barney lived the Perfect Life from the moment he stepped into yours. He knew only the deep love of his adoring humans the Evans Fam. You even humoured him through his Deputy fantasies so he felt completely fulfilled in his goofy Boxer way. … A Perfect Life… ❤️ from 🇨🇦
Finally catching up on a couple videos. Man……that one shot Banjo really shows how big he has got standing next to Freddo. I remember when they were born. Luke and Elle bunking down with the new momma Lucy (?, my memory has gotten so bad). Banjo looks like his daddy! Your family Sam has been thru so much since I became a member or follower. You are two of the strongest, kindest people I know. Many of us would love this life BUT never come to the level of knowledge, commitment, and compassion. Thank you so much!
You all have Barney the best. Rest assured that he knew what love was and you both were blessed to have one another. 🕊️🕊️🌈🌈🐶🐶. Luke is such a foodie….love how he tries every snack…Happy Holidays Evans Family!!!
What a wonderful happy life Barney had with you all cherishing him. He was playing with his pack having a lovely day and was surrounded by love at the end. I hope my last day is that good. I cried my eyes out finding out about his passing. I had a goofy boxer that made it to 14. Most lovable guy. So heart breaking.
