I usually can't read these threads, I cry too much, but this is a good way to tell everyone about Chamomile's death.

She was nine months old, a beautiful satin ginger girl, opinionated, determined and full of bounce.

She had pnuemonia the vet believes, she died at the vet's in my hands earlier today. The infection got a grip very rapidly, she has had a cold for a couple of days but was fine and eating her kale first thing this morning. Then I took her to the vet's as an emergency when I came in at lunchtime and found her stretched out and heaving for breath. So her decline was rapid and her suffering was minimal. There was nothing we could do for her I'm afraid.

I loved her deeply, as all the piggies on this forum are loved, and with delight at her mannerisms. She groomed Carmilla and ate my hair too, would 'billy' herself and have a tantrum privately when she needed to get it all out, was keenly interested in the taste of feet and will leave a genuine gap in my little herd. The others were looking out for her when I got back.

We will all miss her. Rest in Peace little 'ginger rocket'
 
I am so sorry to hear about sweet little Chamomile. She looks just like my Ginger, and that made your post touch me even more than R.I.P. posts do.

Your "eulogy" is beautiful and eloquent and clearly illustrates the big impact that she made on you and how much you loved her. I'm sure that she knew that, as all little companion creatures do.
 
I am so sorry about about your sudden loss. You must be still reeling from the sheer shock of it! I only know how hard it was for me when Ffion died during an emergency vet visit last summer. It took me several days before I was even able to start taking in what had happened.

Chamomile was a stunning beauty, and by the sound of it, very much a pigsonality. I am sure that she has had the happiest of lives with you and her friends. You have written her a very touching tribute.

RIP Chamomile - you are much missed!
 
What a beautiful girl! I am so sorry for you loss. Play in peace little girl xx
 
Sarah, NO ..... I'm so sorry.

I was privileged to meet this sweet girlie, and had the most amazing time with her snuggled on my lap at the Pignic last autumn.

A beautiful girl, gentle and so serene.

I'm devastated for you - but can only be relieved her passing was so speedy, and that she didn't suffer.

However, my heart goes out to you - I know just how special she was.

That is a name I dreaded seeing. Popcorn free little ginger cutie. The forum will miss you.
 
Your beautiful girls sounds a right character, I'm so sorry her time with you was so short. Sleep well sweet Chamomile, you will be sadly missed.
 
Oh my god Sarah I'm devestated only just seen this thread after your pm alerted me sorry been so busy at work I have not been on much.

I will never forget the day when you rachel and I saw baby c and we all knew * had to have her. I loved the few days that she lived with us until you came to pick her up. Remember how clever she was never weeing or pooping in her pink cosey I put her in we were so impressed!

Gosh I really cannot believe she has gone so soon she had a fab home with you and your girls.

Will love * forever our special Baby C love Auntie Lindsay x x
 
I can't believe it. I'm so sorry. It's so unfair that she is gone so soon. 8...
 
I am so very sorry. What a little character this piggie was and obviously was very much part of the family. She leaves behind wonderful memories that will be in your heart forever. Sleep well beautiful Chamomile.....
 
I just wanted to say to everyone who has commented that it has been surprisingly helpful posting about my little ginger rocket on here and reading your comments. I feel supported in my grief and I would like to thank you all very much indeed.
