A belated tribute thread to my former 'big pig' Arnold. We adopted him from our local P@H Adoption centre, as he was a former stud who the owners did not wish to breed from any more. So instead of loving him, they got rid of him. We didn't think twice before getting him :)

That picture of him in the scale is the last picture we ever got of him: as you can see he's about 780g which is tiny for my big pig!
He had problems with intestinal infections, and after they kept coming back, he stopped eating and the vet eventually put it down to something deeper than they could treat. He passed of his own accord of either a brain infection or kidney failure; we never worked out which. 8...
 
I loved my Arnold very much - he was so much bigger than both of my girls which is how he got the Big Pig nickname! Sadly it was about 2 years ago that he passed, seems like yesterday :(
Also, he was the reason that Junior is named the way he is - we saw such a resemblance between the two that we had to name him Junior in tribute :)

Sleep tight Arnold...What a gorgeous piggie he was and I'm glad he got to know what it was like to be part of a loving family....x
 
What a beautiful tribute to darling Arnold x)
Two years has passed Big Pig but you are still so very sadly missed....... you'll always be part of your forever family, who adored you but only had you for such a short time.
RIP Arnold run free at the bridge XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
Thank you everyone. We only had him for about 6 months but we loved him just as much. He initially stayed on his own as we were told he had to be kept alone, but one of my housemates had a submissive pig that got along very well with him :) So we found him a friend in the end :)
