Sad News/Triste nouvelle

We heard today that Papageno, Pamina's Red brother, has had to be put to sleep at the age of nine. He had kidney stones and treatment wasn't helping, poor pws. Somewhere, I have a photo of him when he was a kitten - he was such a darling, and so affectionate. I'll see if I can find it and scan it - or perhaps his people have got a more recent one they can send me. RIP, little one!

Nous venons d'apprendre que Papageno, frère de Pamina, a dû être endormi, à l'âge de neuf ans - calculs rénaux, qu'on n'est pas arrivé à dissoudre. Il était si gentil, se chaton - ses propriétaires l'appelaient "Pot de Colle", tellement il était affectueux! Dors en paix, petit Papageno, on ne t'oubliera pas.
