Darling Pepper

[Zanzan]

Our dear dear Pepper has left us. Yesterday evening she seemed a little quiet and refused some coriander. Pepper lived for coriander and I knew then she wasn't right. And then I had the strangest, most intense communication I have ever had with a piggy. She looked me in the eye and I could almost hear her say 'it's time to go mum, I don't want any doctors. I said to her that's ok Pepper, no doctors. She found some super comfy soft hay, lay down with Merry next to her, who never left her side, and went to sleep. Three hours later she was gone.
Pepper couldn't stand any kind of interventions. She was unbelievably stubborn, nail cutting was a nightmare, and on the rare occasions she needed medication I ended up serving it to her on pieces of lettuce like a canapé because she would fight like a lion to avoid a syringe - even one with metacam in. So the passing she had could almost have been written by her - she only ever did what she wanted to do thank you very much. She was buried in our garden with some of her beloved coriander, as she would have thought a flower was far too fussy.
Pepper - Merry, Beatrice and I miss you so much. A 6x2 c and c seems suddenly very big for just two piggies. But we will go on with you always in our hearts. Thank you for sharing your life with me my darling girl.

I am so sorry you lost your gorgeous Pepper, take heart she chose her time and slept away over the bridge cuddled up with Merry and that sounds a very peaceful way to go

I am so sorry Pepper had to leave you, but she went the way any piggy would choose if they could. She had a lovely life with you and would know how much she was loved. Sending hugs to you and her bereaved friends xx
Enjoy the endless coriander at the Bridge lovely girl

I had a similar feeling when I found my spud unwell the other night sometimes you just know there's no point in fighting for them if they're not wanting to fight any more. It doesn't make it easier to live without them but I think it does make it a little easier to say goodbye if you know they went peacefully surrounded by loved ones. Look after yourself and give your remaining girls an extra pice of pepper from me.

So sorry. Sending you massive hugs.
Pepper sounds like a piggy who knew her own mind and chose the best way to go to the rainbow bridge. If I had to choose, I would go the same way, in bed peacefully surrounded by love.
Have fun at the rainbow bridge little Pepper.xx

I’m so sorry Pepper has crossed the rainbow bridge. Such a gentle and peaceful end. I wish they could all pass that way. Take care.

Thank you everybody, I don't think I realised how much she really meant to me until now. It's a strange feeling, almost like a conflict in my head between grief and missing her and a grateful appreciation of the amazing way that she left with no struggles. I've never known a feeling like it.
