    I got the same letter and have been told that the adoption has been transferred to another cow. Glad Gromit lived a long, happy life, but still feel a bit put out that they decided to tell me he had died. Made me a bit sad cos I'm a real softy!
    They could have just kept quiet - especially as it looks as though lots of us had adopted the same one. It would have been different if I had been the only one to have adopted him. :(
