Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen shared some devastating news on Wednesday morning. The mother of nine turned to Instagram to reveal some heartbreaking updates about their beloved dog, Chalky.
Amanda posted a photograph of the dog alongside the caption, “Mourning #Chalky.” Supporters quickly flooded the comments section with messages of comfort. One penned, “So sad when you lose a dog. Sending you love.”
Meanwhile, a third commented, “Sorry for your loss, Amanda, Clive, and family.”
Another person wrote, “Very sad to lose a pet. Sorry for your loss. Love to you all,” reports the Express.
Amanda subsequently shared a video featuring herself and Chalky, where she detailed what was happening. She wrote beneath the clip, “Chalky’s adventures continued even when her mobility was limited.
“She never paused. Always the traveller and known affectionately as Chalky Traila**e, she just came along with us whatever task we were undertaking.”

In the touching video, Amanda revealed, “I’ve got company today. Yes, it is Chalky, and I am sorry to say that Chalky is..
“How can I put this nicely while Chalky is in earshot? Chalky is fading. She has had her time, and what a great life she has had.
“But now she is struggling, she is very weak, she is tired, and she keeps falling over.
“She is not in any pain or anything, and I just have to make sure that she doesn’t conclude her life by falling over somewhere silly, so wherever I go, Chalky comes too.”

When Amanda isn’t occupied with filming and managing Ravenseat Farm, she remains highly engaged on social media, keeping her supporters informed about her daily activities.
The Yorkshire Dales farmer also showcases the peaks and troughs of agricultural life, and in her latest update, she issued a cautionary message to her followers.
The update featured a photograph of her daughter Nancy handling a hedgehog in a basket, positioned on their home’s doorstep.
Captioning the image, the shepherdess penned: “Watch out for these little prickly darlings.
“Seems to have been a good year for hedgehogs, there’s been a lot of them around. Found in and amongst what potentially could have been a bonfire.”
