Keetchs Tinker Bell AKA Bell

Its been a sad day for the Keetchs family our Tinker Bell had to be put to sleep today 12th May 2011, as she had a brain tumor. Its been hard on all of us as for the last 6 maybe 7 months Tinker was acting strange. She would be sitting in her bed with our Troy and then she would just get up and start fighting with him, Blacking out loosing her back legs and balance and so on. we had found a website all about Brian tumors so if your in doubt about your dogs behavior have a look on this site

We first got Tinker from Craig in Derby, it was just after we got married in February 2006 on a very snowy winters day. Tinker cam back to Devon and settled down really well with Blue / Bella / Motor / Ruby. This Photo to the left is the fist day back in Devon for Tinker. We had to call her that as her name was Bell and we all ready had a Bella so it just had to be Tinker Bell.

Tinker was 7 years one moth and 19 days old before she went to sleep its a bloody shame she was such a lovely girl. We’ve never felt like this before. It was so different when our Blue died we found him dead in the garden and had to take him down to the vets.

But to take your dog down to the vets and then have them put your dog sleep well its alot different I can tell you. We both walk Tinker to the vets I gave her a big hug and a good by kiss, and then I had to go back to work.

Poor Tracy had to take her in and she held her in her arms said her good bye’s there was no suffering she just went straight to sleep and no pain

What I will miss about our tinker is the wiggle she made when she would run towards you, i used to say show me your teeth and she would snarl at me and go nuts wanting to play. She would talk to you people used to think that she was growling but she was telling you come lets go out.

She left behind a good legacy of offspring

Tinker was a bit of a nut when it came down to her baby’s she wouldn’t let any one go near them, she was so hard to get her out of the box just to have a piss. I must admit i do think back and think did we do the right thing, she was so young and full of life, but then I think of all the pain she must have been go though. She got to be unpredictable end the end.

RIP our baby girl you can run free with Blue boy now.

I love this photo above this is the best shot we ever got of Tinker
