I didn't even need to open the thread before the tears started to flow. We all knew this day would come eventually since Pirate was a senior lady, but it's just never easy to hear this kind of news. Pirate was blessed to have had 14 wonderful, love filled, warm, happy months with you and your gang. It's a shame it couldn't be longer but at least she got what she deserved for the last 14 months of her life. She was a lucky girl to have found you and you're an angel to have taken her under your wing.

Rest well, old gal. You were so beautiful.
