Thanks for your comment Joules, i am sure there ae other people on here who find these sort of comments upsetting. i still miss my cat who was put to sleep and grieve for her. i love my pepper of course, but i loved her as well. you know when i go for walks there is lots of dog poo around where people so not pick up, so it's an issue for all animals. Anyway i am sure the comment by Toogood is not generally shared and for that i am very glad .
