Many of you may have known that our friend Matilda's beloved pup, Natasha, which she bred, developed a lump on her head about a week ago. I am very sorry to report that, sadly, Natasha died yesterday whilst undergoing an operation by the vet to remove what turned out to be a malignant tumour. We, as animal lovers, feel tremendous loss and pain when we lose a 'doggy friend' but its always so much worse when they are just vibrant youngsters and companions one day and then gone forever.
