Amanda Owen, the star of Our Yorkshire Farm, shared some devastating news on Wednesday morning. The mother-of-nine took to Instagram to reveal the sad news about their family dog, Chalky.
Posting a picture of Chalky, Amanda captioned it, “Mourning #Chalky.”
Fans were quick to offer their condolences in the comments section. One fan wrote, “So sad when you lose a dog. Sending you love.”
Another follower added, “Sorry for your loss, Amanda, Clive, and family.”
A different user expressed, “Very sad to lose a pet. Sorry for your loss. Love to you all.”, reports the Express.
Later, Amanda posted a video featuring her and Chalky, where she explained the situation. She captioned 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 heartfelt video, Amanda said, “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.”

The Shepherdess also showcases the peaks and valleys of agricultural life, and in her latest post, she issued a caution to her followers.
The update featured an image of her daughter Nancy handling a hedgehog in a basket, positioned on their home’s doorstep.
Accompanying the photograph, the farmer 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.”
