IMG_0673.webpBrillo came to live with Red after Red and Caspy fell out. They shared a cage for 2.5 years until they had a rolling ball fight. We tried him with several other piggies over time but he only ever wanted to be next to Red where they would wash each others faces through the bars.

The last photo was taken when he first arrived as a young piggy on 14th February. I really hoped he would stay with us until after his 7th gottcha day but it wasn't to be.
Brillo had arthritis in his spine and hips the awkward position be had to stand in to urinate often resulted in sludge in his bladder. He intermittently suffered with respiratory problems after a nasty pnuemonia in 2021 which had resulted in him being on Baytril for 2 months. He really was a fighter.
With no Red to keep him occupied he amused himself by going across the room to annoy Duck and Bertie. Yesterday he didn't go on his travels or eat not even his favourite grass. This morning we felt it was time to let him go.
Brillo is going to be missed by us all but he will never be forgotten.
Free of pain now and reunited with his best mate Red.
 
Aw I’m so sorry Brillo didn’t make it to his 7th gotcha day and that you have lost him 😞 (((hugs))) but what an amazing age he was and he lived a life full of love ❤️

Sleep tight beautiful Brillo, have fun at the bridge with Red x
 
So sorry to hear Brillo has crossed over the rainbow bridge. 🌈.
Such a lovely tribute to your handsome boy.
 
What a beautiful tribute to your much loved Brillo, those photos are precious 💙
As you say reunited with his pal Red, both forever with you. Be kind to yourself as you grieve.
Popcorn happily dear Brillo over The Rainbow Bridge 🌈
 
What a lovely tribute and photos.
Brillo was such a gorgeous piggy and lived the best piggy life with you.
He will leave a big gap in your lives.
Be gentle and patient with yourselves as you grieve.
Holding you in my heart ♥️
 
So very sorry for your sad loss. What a gorgeous and fun boy Brillo was, and what a wonderful life he had with you, filled with so much love. Take care.
 
I'm so sorry you lost Brillo. 💔😭 I remember when you first posted about him here. He's had a very good life you, very much loved. Big hugs to you. :hug: ❤️

Popcorn free Brillo. You will be terribly missed. 🌈❤️
 
I was very sad when I saw your post. Brillo had a long and wonderful life full of love but his friends at the bridge needed him. He will always be with you in those memories and his pawprint will stay in our heart always. Sending hugs as you grieve :hug:
Play happily with Red at the bridge handsome boy 🌈
 
Very sad that Brillo has gone to RB
He’s back with his best pal Red and is painfree
Run and play dear Brillo
We’ll remember you and look after your Mum ❤️
 
Sorry for your loss. You gave Brillo a wonderful life full of love and care. He looked so happy in the photos you shared. I’m sure he’s reunited with Red now 🌈
 
So sorry for the loss of your lovely Brillo. I just lost my Edie on Sunday and she was born at the end of 2018 too. Brillo sounds much like my Edie, a true warrior.

Have fun over the rainbow bridge little guy. ❤️🌈
