We lost Bourbon this morning, our girl in charge and the pig with the biggest personality.

I only had six or so weeks with her, but she made her mark for sure. Wheeking at the top of her voice ready to greet anyone who came to see her, and always with a lick of approval. She would follow me around the cage while cleaning, and loved nothing more than a tickle. For a pig who had a tough life and had only been with me a short time, she was outrageously confident and trusting.
I wish we had more time together, but unfortunately her previous life caught up to her. I’m glad knowing her last chapter was one of peace and happiness with her sisters.
This afternoon the pig room is far too quiet and the girls are definitely grieving, but the cage is full of rainbows for Bourbon 🌈🩷

BIG HUGS

Sometimes, you meet pigsonalities for only a very short time because of what they come with but they touch you so deeply in your heart that you will never forget them and always remember them with a smile - because you have been the one who has given them the happiness they have been seeking for all their life and the happiness that has set them free.

My thoughts are with you and Bourbon's sisters who will feel that huge gap she is leaving even more.

PS: I am sure that there is a little furry guardian angel trying to get their new wings to work so she can continue to look out for those she loves... :)
 
So sorry for your loss.
Even though she lived with you such a short time she will leave a big hole in your heart.
You ensured her last weeks were full of love and care.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve
 
I am sorry your time with Bourbon was so short but she would have known what happiness was in the time you spent together and is now at peace in the meadows at the bridge. Sending hugs to you ad her sisters at such a sad time but the memories you made will stay in your heart.
Rest peacefully Bourbon 🌈
 
Oh how incredibly sad that you had such a short time together 😞 I am so sorry 😞 but you showed her what love was in the weeks she was with you (((hugs)))

Sleep tight beautiful bourbon x
 
Thank you everyone. The rest of the herd are very quiet this evening, it’s going to take a lot of getting used to. With rescues we can’t choose how their story starts, but we were lucky enough to change how it ended - safe, comfortable, and happy.
Ive buried Bourbon this afternoon in a plant pot with plans to plant a Geum plant in there - they flower from around May to July, which will be a perfect reminder of our time together every year 🩷

I lost my sweet boy Comet (on the right) last night, it brings me a little comfort knowing our babies are together. Your Bourbon looks identical to his brother, Pluto (brown one on the left).

She definitely would have welcomed him, she loved everyone! He’s absolutely gorgeous, I’m glad he had a friendly face just like his brother waiting to look after him 🩷
 
I was just wondering how your piggies were getting on then came across this thread :( So sorry you lost Bourbon. It looks like she had lots of lovely moments with you and was a real character!
