we said goodbye to a very special little piggy! :'(

Those of you who were on the forum then will remember Badger, the little man with a huge zest for life! :D :D :D

After undergoing four operations, and the removal of six lumps, cancer spread to his lungs and even having the greatest will to live wasn't enough anymore! :'(

Within hours of each of his operations he would be climibing up the bars of his cage wheeking loudly for food! Nothing seemed to bother him. He just loved life! :D :D :D

Schmichael would sit next to his cage for hours on end, and when Badger finally went to the Bridge, Schmichael spent days searching the room for him! :'(

Badger didn't have a long life, but he made the most of every minute he had. We had so hoped he was going to reach his second birthday on 1st April but it wasn't to be! April 1st isn't April Fools Day for us, its BADGER DAY!

Oh he was such a character! Always getting into mischief! ;D He would spend hours running around the lounge, and even now I am still finding things which he chewed! ;D ;D

Just after I had taken the pic of him trying to get at the can of Pepsi Max he knocked it over and started licking it up from the carpet! :D :D :D

Thanks everyone! :) Not a day goes by without thinking of this special little man. He certainly left his mark, in more ways than one. I was wondering the other day why I had stopped using a table lamp. I went to plug it in and remembered immediately! Good reason for not using it.....Badger had chewed through the cable! ;D
