anything except horses ; she loved horses ,” she bragged . Nothing on this Earth could drive Tinker Bell to bark at or bite any human . Because of Tinker Bell ’ s unique personality , Murphree would regularly bring her to assisted living centers , to bring a little happiness to the residents . “ It was always just a joy to take her to the nursing homes and see people who would not interact with anyone , with any human , and the minute they would see Tinker Bell , they would totally light up .”
As if Tinker Bell ’ s volunteer work wasn ’ t enough , she also entered costume contests in and around Weatherford .
“ She won every contest she ever entered ,” Murphree explained . It probably helped that Tinker Bell had her very own costume designer .
“ She was dressed by Barbara Rumfield , who just loved her from the very start ; she probably made her over a hundred outfits . Tinker Bell would see her outfits and try to put them on .”
Not only was Tinker Bell the queen of style , but the queen of travel as well . Murphree accounts for all the different little wagons Tinker Bell would ride in . “ She loved to ride . We had to keep them hidden till it was time to go somewhere . At her death , she had 11 different vehicles , everything from a hummer to a Christmas sleigh . Toward the end , when she started feeling bad , we let her sleep in a little wagon during the day , because she just loved them so much .”
Tinker Bell had a wonderful life . The little Chihuahua with a big personality will forever be ingrained in the minds of all those who were delighted by her presence . She stole the show , she stole our hearts , and she will be greatly missed .
