ANIMAL TRIBUTES
Gertrude the Goat
With great sadness on Saturday 22 February 2021 we had to say goodbye to Gertie, our oldest Anglo-Nubian nanny goat. She was originally donated to us in 2008 as 4 year old and was almost 17 years old when she left us. That's one ripe old age for any goat!
Wendy had to make the heartbreaking decision to have Gertie put to sleep as she was unable to stand; although chewed the cud until the end - bless her!
In her time at Larkrise she provided therapy and learning for hundreds of children and adults and was always the cheekist and nosiest of the herd. She never missed a thing, especially if treats were on offer.
Thank you so much Gertie; we miss you and will always think of you with a smile, RIP x
SPONSOR AN ANIMAL
