A really sad time...

Just letting you folk, our friends, on here know that sadly Roma had to put to sleep.

She will be missed hugely but she wasnt well, and there was no good prognosis as due to age and size and any form of surgery/anaesthetic was out of the question.

It was the only fair thing to do, and in her way I believe she told us that this was the time and she'd had enough of fighting.

This hurts so much to write, but we just wanted people who knew her to know.

Rest in peace Roma...the bestest friend we could have ever hoped for.

Looks like I'm in trouble with the Mrs's again...
She asked me what I'd most like to do to her body...
Apparently "Identify it" is not the correct answer!
