Sad news from a competition win

Options
Recently I was one of the few lucky ones to receive a phone call from that there ITV :D I'd won an ambrosia goody bag and a cow adoption.

Well, I received my cow adoption update today and Gromit (my cow!) Has died!!!

I received a final letter from him and a photograph, hubby and I really didn't know whether to laugh or cry when we opened the letter, such sad news but kind of bizarre too.

Rest in Peace Gromit
xxxx

EXTRA GOOD LUCK EVERYONE FOR 2015. XXX

    Aw, bless. I hadn't really thought about that happening with 'sponsored' animals although I know of course it's inevitable. Commiserations for you and fond thoughts for poor Gromit the cow. :(
