Cardboard Box

[Amanda1801]

Yesterday evening, Cardboard Box, aka Boxy, was helped on his way over the bridge aged just 4 and a half, following a short fight with kidney failure.

Boxy came to me with his brother and nephew in not a particularly good state, so I'm pleased to say that he had a good and happy 3 years with me. He came as a very nervous, skinny, louse and mite ridden pig, and blossomed into a cheeky, inquisitive, incredibly laid back (but still skinny!) little thing.

He was one of my original trio of piggies who helped me learn so much about these little creatures, so losing him as my first piggy loss has been extra hard.

Sleep tight little Boxy x>>

I am so sorry for your loss; your first piggies are always extra special!

Boxy was a gorgeous boy and a great character. You must miss him so much, but he also leaves you with lots of precious memories.

RIP Cardboard Box

I think it's kind of easier at the moment because he's not living with me at the moment; I haven't had the piggies here for 3 weeks now.

I also have the task of rebonding the Daves to occupy myself!

The name was kind of an accident....

I got the pigs when me and my old flatmate shared a house. We have known each other for 12 years, after having gone to secondary school, college and uni together, and seem to have some bizarre same wavelength thing that no one else gets.

We rehomed these 3 pigs, originally called bubble, squeak and a baby with no name. We decided to rename them as Pinky, Perky and Dave. Then we realised that the baby looked very similar to one of the adults, and at the same time, came out with "Big Dave, Little Dave, Cardboard Box" in unison (as in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZZ0inycTxo the dance taking the mick out of rave dance styles - not sure who the shrek lookalike is but I like his style!) so, unfortunately for Boxy, the names stuck!
