De burats

Thank you everyone. I don’t know why it was such a big blow with him. I love all my piggies very much, even Zac who sees me as a monster 🤣 My son was particularly hard hit, we knew Toffee as his bestie.

He is now buried in a pot at the bottom of the garden. I will add some flower seeds next year at some point.

My life has been filled with work, parents staying over and my lovely children. Unfortunately my sons eczema made a comeback and he had a bad flare up recently. We had to take him to hospital on Thursday eve but luckily we’re only kept in till Friday eve. He’s back to school tomorrow and I’m hoping there won’t be another flare up for a while. He’s in his GCSE year so we’re all hoping for minimal disruption.

Otherwise Chanel and Zac are doing well. Loving life and staying warm. They’re my soother at the end of those bad days! I think I’ll move them to the penthouse. That way they’re away from the ground (the hutch is well insulated but still). I can then use the lower section to help keep them warm - hot air rises, right?
 
How amazing you are with it all I know it must be rough with the kids I have 7 year old twins and were just starting our piggy adventure of 4 with 2 dogs i might add in NYC cramped up apartment but we love lots of love and I know when we love hard we lose just as hard
 
eczema is the worst for kids have to find the right balance and what works as maintance sometimes real medication like injectables really do help making sure it doesnt become impetigo your talking my language i work for dermatologist its how aggressive you want it to be

Sorry to see you lost Toffee 😔 I hope your son's excema stays away and doesn't affect his GCSEs.

I put Squeaks and Winifred/Tigery in the top part only of my double hutch a year ago. I thought it was easier to keep the top half warm too, as you say, heat rises.
 
Glad to hear Chanel and Zac are doing well. So sorry to hear about your son’s eczema flare up. This time of year really does seem to upset skin conditions. Your poor son must be really fed up with his interrupting his life. Here’s hoping he gets a break and can get through the rest of this GCSE year without further trouble.
 
I hope your son is ok now. GCSE year can be a stressful time. Good luck.
 
Hope your son’s eczema can be controlled and doesn’t flare up again.
GCSE year is hard enough without that as well.

Always good to see you on the forum. I don’t know how you manage to juggle so much
 
So sorry that you have lost both Pumpkin and your cousin.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve.
Holding you in my heart ❤️ and prayers 🙏🏼
 
So sorry to hear you’re having such a hard and sad time. Thinking of you. Take care x
 
Thank you everyone for your well wishes. I’ve never had such difficulty with going to work, including doubting my abilities.

Today was a better day in terms of how I feel. Small steps will help me get there, and supportive colleagues.

Chanel was wheeking the day before she crossed the rainbow. I hadn’t heard that for a long time! 😍
 
Well, looks like there won’t be a more posts to this thread soon. I made the decision to surrender Zac back to the lovely Debbie where I got him from. I fee bad in that it’s like I’m giving up on him. But I don’t feel I can continue the cycle of piggy partnering when one passes on. And I don’t think it’s fair that Zac is alone for a few months. He seems like the type who does so much better with company.

He’s been wheeking this past week (not out of terror) which has been so lovely to hear.

I will miss having piggies and going out to tend to them. Maybe in the future, who knows.
 
Aw I’ve just caught up with your thread and I’m so sorry for your losses 😞 as much as it hurts, you are doing absolutely the right thing for Zac. When I lost Elizabeth on Christmas Eve and was just left with Esme, I already knew I couldn’t continue with the piggy cycle so Esme went to live with Wiebke. It was very upsetting at the time but Esme is now living a wonderful life with four sows and a neutered boar. I wish you well and I hope you stay in the forum x
 
Sending you all good wishes as you deal with this. Breaking the cycle is incredibly hard but you are doing the kindest thing for Zac.
 
Zac was safely (and sadly) delivered to @furryfriends (TEAS)
I was questioning my decision when I saw the piggies on the lawn and the ones in the shed! But it is the right one for Zac in particular. Thank you for letting me have him, he’s a lovely piggy.

PS was his neighbour still showing interest? 🤣
