When I adopted five year old Oscar from BARC in Barnsley last year in August, I got many comments along the lines of how lucky Bryn Oscar was. That was not quite true; the lucky ones were us!
It may have been just a year in real time, but Bryn has packed a lifetime of fun and adventures into it, so it feels more like he's been with us forever.
The "widowed old gentleman" in urgent need of a new lady in his life, after a prospective home pulled out at the last minute, quickly turned out to have the true soul of a pirate, to match his one-eye "Jack Sparrow" look. A most talented escape artist, adventurer and casanova, he proved that no pig is ever too old to popcorn or to get into mischief, however arthritic - in his mind, he was always young and nothing was impossible!
Bryn first made Ffowlyn very happy, but they were joined by more older ladies as time went by - Ceri, Cariad, Ffraid, Nia and latest Tanni. It has been quite a shock to see Bryn go downhill so suddenly and quickly and be unable to help him. With the pirate gone, it's far too quiet here.
I am sure that Bryn is currently very busy having a great time swashbuckling across the Rainbow Bridge in the company of Ffowlyn and his two first "sowves".
Squash-up with Ffowlyn

Enjoying favourite food - beetroot (figures when you are white...)

"You can't see me eating books!"

Always sticking his nose into places one wouldn't want to enquire too closely...

Enjoying his boar-to-boar rumble-outs with Hywel and Terfel.
