My DD is away, skiing. She has just rung me in tears to say that her lovely wirehaired vizla has died. Her sister in law is living with them and was looking after the dog, he had died in his sleep. My DGD is at weekly boarding, DD has rung the housemistress, and will speak to her DD before her aunt picks her up. The other two are both at university, they will be devastated, I'm in tears, he was such a part of the family. DD and her DH are back tomorrow.
