Snowy. :(

Last of our 'Molly' lambs. (She was pretty old for a sheep.)

Had to be done.....(Lead poisoning....Not shot by me, I hasten to add) .....So I'm not upset....She had a really cushy life, bless her.
(Getting far too used to death, living on 'the farm'.)

Cheers

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Good grief, no.  :-& :-&  ;D ;D

I'm sure she'll get 'rendered' and used for 'something'. (Maybe the dogs will find her in a tin of dog-food.)

Weird......I'm not a vegetarian.....But I could NOT (knowingly) eat any of the sheep we've had to have 'put down' over the years.
It would sort of feel like cannibalism.  X_X

I really love roast lamb, though. (Hypocrite ? Moi ?)

I'm pretty sure that is why most farmers who farm for meat don't name their animals ;)

Many people liked his music.
Many people now forget he  flew away to pay no taxes. I really disliked him for this.

While I don't EAT them, the frequency of death amongst my tropical fish similarly stopped me naming them. It's one thing to watch a handful of fish die, it's another to watch Rene, Yvette, Maria and Fifi die...  :(

I'm really sorry to hear about your fish. You say that they've died. Is there actually a fish "corpse", or is one of the other fish getting strangely bigger?

Da-dum... da-dum... da-dum... dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum DADADUM,

When is it appropriate to start predicting deaths for 2018?

I'm going to start the ball rolling with Robert Mugabe. Now that he's unemployed and he's not able to pursue his old hobby (skiing) I think he'll go downhill pretty quickly.

Here's hoping he lingers in pain for a few weeks en route.

I have one large Pleco, 2 Bristlenoses, a half dozen Assassin Snails and... no unsightly corpses (after a day or so...)
