Sadly on 21 August 2008, Gladys was put to sleep. She had been unwell for a few days, and despite our best efforts and the vet’s intensive care, she was not going to survive. She was the queen of my small flock and was a real character around the house. We will miss he, and I think my daughter doubly so.
