BTW Click on it and you'll see a bigger pic, enjoy!

Our wee Cairn terrier, Tara, is away   to join them. It was a sad day on Saturday, I had to take our wee dug to the vet for the last time, she had a tumour which she'd lived with for the past year and a half but it had been giving her bother for the past couple of weeks, so we knew the end was near, but on Friday night she just lay down outside in the middle of the garden and wouldn't or couldn't move anymore - I had to carry her back inside, we then decided to take her to the vet, the plan was to ask if there was anything that could be done to stop her suffering, but there was only the one solution. My wife and I had discussed what to do and I stayed with Tara as she went to sleep for the last time - it was heartbreaking, we've had the dog almost as long as we've been married, seen her grow from a puppy and she's been a part of our lives for the past 13¹/₂ years. There  were tears before bedtime on Saturday, our 8 year old daughter has grown up with the dog always being around and she, like us, was inconsolable. We'll all miss Tara, and if we ever decide to get another dog, it'll have so much to live up too as I don't think you'd find such a good natured and friendly wee dog as Tara.
