💔 It is with a heavy heart this week that we share the news that our beloved labrador, Freekah has gone to heaven. The farmer and his family are desperately sad and their home is not the same without their faithful friend.
Freekah was a special sort of dog, our shadow in every way. She watched us build White House Farm into what it is today, she even met each and every customer in the early days. She was particularly excited when we added a butchery to the farmshop and sampled many a bone gifted by Stevie Wonder. 🦴 She had a love of fruit, could pick her own strawberries and blackberries with the nimblest nose, but her favourite were the pears which waited to fall. 🍐
She attended meetings, often sighing at appropriate points, she met school children on their farm tours and loved meeting dogs in the Doggy Day care.
For someone so silent, her presence was keenly felt. She has been laid to rest under the autumn leaves and will be fondly remembered by the many people she met. She had quite a fan club! 🍂
I feel truly privileged to have owned a dog for ten years and for the wonderful memories we created together. She always had a present in her gentle mouth, often a small stone, carefully selected. She joined every adventure with gusto from chasing the fox away from the chickens to taking a keen interest in crabbing on the family bucket and spade holidays. 🦀
As a tribute to the great lady, we thought we'd donate her advent calendar to the cafe dogs that visit, so the team can select a 'dog of the day' to enjoy a bone each day.
🍐 RIP Freekah 2013-2023 🍐News 22 November | Like/Comment
