Cutie Pie the Pug loving her paddock and bush runs again. Luke’s shadow Wolfie helping out all over the farm. Lots of cleaning, because the motorised cleaning devices are a lot of fun.
Kids learning about trees struck by lightning, and loving all the animals at the farm even the tiny tiny ones; turtles, spiders, birds, grasshoppers …
A few moments from our week here at the farm.
Cruiser the Dingo is learning every day a little more about doggie language. Just a quick repeat, because there has been a few comments, Dingoes are not protected as they should be in Australia. In the wild they’re killed, in the most horrible inhumane ways. If they’re taken from the wild it is our law that they cannot be returned. Most states it’s illegal to own them. And the funding for sanctuaries and rescues is pittance, if even that. Many are going under and all have stopped taking in more Dingoes. They’re completely overwhelmed. Many Dingo loving advocates are moving Dingoes on the quiet into the very few states that allow them to be homed as pets. Even so, the criteria to own a Dingo is not your normal dog requirements (rightly so) but it means hardly anyone is willing to adopt knowingly. Some rescues like in our state are adopting them out as domestic breeds to unknowing people who are getting a real surprise when they don’t behave like a dog. It’s a mess all round. Hence why the commitment to Cruiser from our perspective is “we’ll figure out a way to make this work, no matter how long it takes”. We don’t think pet ownership of Dingoes is right, they should only be in the wild and protected accordingly, but the situation for Dingoes in Australia is far from that. And a Dingo like Cruiser who was born in the wild has next to no options.
Just wanted to share that info again for those that are not sure how it is here in Australia. On top of all that, our government has not helped in fostering a love from our nation for our native species the Dingo, quite the opposite. They’re perceived by many as a pest. It is sad and very hard for the Dingo rescues and advocates that have been trying for many years to spread the word and change perception and laws.
We’re just sharing our personal journey, an honest look at having a wild born Dingo in a domestic situation. Maybe it will help a few people to see that they are a beautiful species that deserve our protection, but also that we should be doing everything we can to keep them in the wild where they have been for thousands of years.
Hope you all don’t mind me sharing this now and then for those that are not aware or might think the situation is far better than it is.

from a cruel start to love and caring and learning the rules of being a dog what a great family he has xx
Miss Violet—recall first videos when you fell over and couldn't walk and were so blind and deaf and lost–amazing, amazing that you are living such a full zestful life.
What a fun video to watch Cutie running with the pack. Here cheering her on. Hey Dad let’s find some pigs! Can we huh can we.That gave me a big smile. You could see Cruiser was gonna nip at Maggie, thought it was because she was out running him. She sure is fast. Joey was cute when you asked if she wanted to get down, that look was forget it dad, noooo. Thanks for giving us a big smile today. ❤️😘🐾😎
I hope there is going to be a little fun on the farm for Halloween? Last years videos were just something extra, but no pressure. I only have a tiny pumpkin and a pot of yellow mums to celebrate this year. It is still warm here in Connecticut for some reason but the tree colors are spectacular!
I have a soft spot in my heart for Cruiser as he reminds me of my adopted rescue doggie who not only looks similar but has the same survival instincts from past treatment and hereditary instincts. While my boy is not a Dingo, they all do deserve love and understanding and for that, we all thank you for giving this boy a chance at a life that was taken from him. Typical teenage dog behaviour will dissipate and all will be happy in the doggy Pac soon X
All kinds of fun!!! Wolfie doing chores😁 Family picnic snacks. Fun!!
So I have questions. When Cruiser went after Maggie I could definitely see that coming. His focus left the run, the other dogs and Luke and became totally all about Maggie. Were you unable to see that from your vantage point? Or did you want to give him every opportunity to do the right thing? I’m asking because if I see my dog stalking another dog, for example, I stop that behavior before it escalates. So I’m wondering if you are making other choices why that is. Maybe about frustration level? I learn something every video. This is the first time I needed more clarity.
Just curious why Lily barks a lot during pool play time? Others like Shadow do too, but Lily seems to bark the most. Do you know what this means Luke/Sam?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ i love this Channel😊
LOTS OF LOVE🥰😘 from VIC😁
Wolfie so cute with that dirt blower. Typical little boy.
Maggie girl Always the running star on the trail. Bless her heart, So Glad she was made an Evans. That was her forever home to b loved and cared for. Would of been afraid for her if she had left the farm and care she may not of gotten tht was correct for her.
Maggie just Loves to go go and go.
Shadow is living the life, after such a sad start, she is a gorgeous girl. Abra is very quite these days. Enjoyed this video very much, especially big boy Freddo trying too fit into the ATV. Such a great dog. Cruiser just wants to please the and be one of the boys 💜💜
😊❤🎉
You are doing an amazing job with Cruiser. He has come farther than anyone could have foreseen and he is still moving forward! Tank and Chopper snuggling at the picnic table with you, CP and Joey being sisters, and Freddo at the end with his beloved dad, these are all wonderful moments in time. Thank you. 👍Debra
I saw this and thought of your Abbra! https://youtu.be/XlnaA_kc8-I?feature=shared
Thank You for talking about the individual dogs on the last run. I love hearing about Fredo, Maggie and the rest of the dogs❣️
💜💜
With Cruiser's penchant for nipping dog's haunches, it's a good thing Chance is no longer with you. He'd probably take him out lickety split. He will eventually understand and abide by the Farm's dog etiquette.
