I'm sorry to hear that.    When a pet dies it's an element of the family
that is lost ... I remember when smokey died it tore most of us up for a
month or two ... certainly I'd never seen my dad so upset.. :/  (smokey was
18 when she died and had been around me as I grew up ... the house, as
ever, revolved around her...)

Aah,  this is much appreciated.  I'm still very much a novice with such
things and all these techniques are new to me!  I'll have a go with this in
the future.
