Re: lucky has goneThanks Steve
lucky has goneWe lost her on Saturday, we went away for the weekend and while away my son phoned to say he found her in the nesting box gasping, came in to get his phone to ring me and went back out to check her and she had passed away.

She still is trying the sad f...

So once again shes greeted me at the door with the cats when ...
