We had to say goodbye to Millie today - she has been our companion for 14 years and seen the addition of playmates Sadie and Meredith to the extended family circle. Blind and deaf in her last year or so she managed life with the same general happiness as long as food was on the scene. If you are reading this Derek and Ling - it was all very peaceful - she damaged a leg falling on the step but was not in pain and Simon was very gentle with her.
