With heavy hearts, we share the sad news that our beloved Tinkerbelle passed away.
Tinkerbelle had been living with cancer for the past few years, but she made the most of every moment—staying strong, spirited, and surrounded by love. She was full of character and always held her own in the herd, even on the days her body grew tired. She had a good life, and she was cherished every step of the way.
On Saturday, 7 June, after her health declined rapidly over the preceeding few days and after doing all we could for her medically, we made the kindest and most compassionate choice—to let her go peacefully and with dignity.
Tinkerbelle will be deeply missed, not only by her family here at Cranky’s FARM, but by the many who followed her journey and held her in their hearts.
Rest easy now, beautiful girl. You were so very loved.
****************
My name is Tinkerbelle.
I came to live at Cranky’s FARM in 2018. Before that I lived on a farm where I was being used to produced milk. When I got mastitis the family who I produced milk for didn’t want me anymore. Thankfully, they heard about Cranky’s and asked if I could go and live there.
Sadly, I had to leave my daughter behind when I came to live at Cranky’s but the people here think that one day they might be able to bring her to live here too. 🙂
I really like people and all kinds of food. I love pats and cuddles. I have a really tiny voice but when I need to call out I will bleat at the top of my lungs until someone calls back.
