Dear Nungu,
Today I have to say goodbye…
As Stavros said, ‘Goodbye to my friend’.
You enriched many lives.

Read our farewell blog to Nungu. A sad day 😞

As Adine writes…

This week… it started to rain and my son Xander escorted the sheep into the little house under the roof, to be protected from the rain. Nungu was unable to move or walk herself, and so he carried her. I had known for a long time that Nungu was at the end of her life, and her time was getting shorter by the day. It was still a difficult decision to let her go. She was part of our family at HERD, but she was tired.
Nungu had clearly come to the end of her journey – her journey as a friend, mom, and companion to the animals in our care. It was incredibly sad to say goodbye to Nungu this week, but we knew that the old gal was no longer strong and healthy. She had lost a lot of condition. Next to Lammie, we could especially see the difference. I had to make a call, for Nungu, I had to listen to her body. It had reached its limits.
Thank you, Nungu for being a friend and mom to those who had lost theirs. We will miss you and will cherish the moments you shared with all of us.
When we look up into the sky at night, your star will shine brightly.
