Queen`s corgi killed by Anne`s terrier

LONDON (Reuters) - The Queen is mourning the death of one of her beloved corgis after it was savaged by her daughter`s bull terrier, newspapers report.

Princess Anne`s bull terrier Dottie, which last year earned her a fine by biting two children, attacked the corgi at a royal family gathering at the Sandringham estate on Monday, said the top-selling Sun.

The Daily Mail said the corgi, Pharos, was later put down, having suffered three fractures to one of its hind legs.

Pharos was one of the Queen`s oldest and most devoted pets.

Anne was fined 500 pounds in November last year after Dottie attacked two children, aged seven and 12, in Windsor Great Park near London.

I have strong reservations about your word "Companion".

Can you honestly believe that HRH Anne is much of a companion to anyone, let alone a dog?

J/K ;-)

Oh, to a dog I'd believe. Dogs are gluttons for punishment. Cats have good sense.

Zoidberg: I'm confused, Fry, I'm feeling a strange new emotion. Is it love when you care for a female for reasons beyond mating?

Fry: Nope. Must be some weird alien emotion.

My Labs are cousins. One is a complete nut case and the other way laid back and lovable. The psycho was just like his mom the Dad was brother to my mellow labs Mom.

The nut case is smart as a whip and very obediant and performs many tasks yet cannot handle being around men or children, some who do not know his canine mom say he didn't fall to far from the tree from his human Mom, that would be Me.

His cousin the mellow, lovable Lab doesn't listen to commands the older he gets, and is dumb as a door but loves everybody.

I love them both regardless but some traits are inherited.

Stupid people should neither have children or pets

I guess that means the whole British royal family should have neither.
