Niki I am so sorry to hear about the sad loss of your uncle, my thoughts are with you, his wife and the rest of your family :(

I would be more than happy to collect Irving for you if he was in my neck of the woods as I am sure a lot of members would be willing to do.
 
OMG Niki i still cant beleive she hasnt even had the decency to contact you, the least she owes you is an apology

Fingers crossed the irving comes back xx

Keep your chin up xx
 
OMG! I have just caught up with this thread! I so hope you get Irving back, what a callous thing to be done, its bad enough to dupe you into letting him go to this person, but now he has served his purpose he is being offloadedpow-pow

Sorry to hear about your uncle hun, ((HUGS)) xx
 
Hi Niki
I have just read this thread and it is one of my fears when i have rehomed boars and sows. But if someone is wanting to do something similar to this What checks can you do?
Sending you all my heartfelt love and hugs and hoping and praying you get your little man back x

Realistically none bar ask questions/see photos. I know even if you physically visit a potential home you can guarantee this won't happen.
My "lying tw*t radar" was quite obviously turned off that day!

This whole sorry affair has highlighted just how common it is, i've heard some things from people regarding so called "rescues" & other peoples piggies :(

The latest on Irving -
At 1.23am i pm'd her on the forum i first saw him advertised asking, yet again, if she was going to return him or not.
I also highlighted the fact that she says she's busy, too busy to reply to my emails yet not too busy to log-in to the forum.
I told her we both knew she had lied to me so why not return him to me & that i assumed she did still have him & hadn't sold him as he was not hers to sell!

I've received no reply BUT she has asked the forum owner for her account to deleted stating that she is no longer breeding or showing pigs!

This for me has given my my answer. It's not the one i wanted but i have to draw the line somewhere. I don't sleep til 5 & 6am thinking about what to do next & wondering if there will be a reply tomorrow - i can't carry on:(
There are no guarantees she still has him, even if someone were to enquire about him would she meet them? I know she had another silver agouti rex boar, would anyone else recognise Irving?
She's had plenty of time & oppportunity to do the right thing. This is now an end to it.
Thank you to everyone for their support both on here & in PM's. I really do appreciate it x
 
Aw Niki, I'm so sorry to hear that you have not got the result that you/we had hoped for.

You have done everything that you could possibly do for Irving. Don't feel bad or guilty about it. No-one never knows 100% for sure just what someone will do when they re-home a guinea pig to a stranger - you can only take the person at face-value.
 
It's so sad that she cannot just put aside what she has done and just return Irving. If she doesn't want to meet up with you for fear of feeling bad then someone else could on your behalf.

I do think you are right Niki, you have to draw the line somewhere, it will make you ill otherwise. I do hope things still work out though, you never know she may reconsider if not then all we can hope for is Irving gets a loving home. :(
 
So sorry to hear this Niki - she's taken down all the ads so it's not like someone else can even enquire and get him for you. What a pity she couldn't just accept she'd done wrong and return him to you.

I hope if he does get a new home, it's a forever one.

Thinking of you

I agree with Sophie, it's a real shame. I'm sure he is in a place where is is being cared for though, despite the circumstances.

Very sorry to hear about your bereavement as well. I hope things get better soon for you.

xx
 
It is just so sad that Irving could not have been returned to you, even if it involved a third party who had not connection with any of us to hand him over.

I am sure all of us of this forum, even if it involved a huge piggy train, would have been prepared to help get him back! If a fee for him was involved, then that would not have been a problem either ... we all would have contributed, I am sure!

Let's keep everything crossed that he has gone to a good and caring home. That is what we can all hope for.
 
So sorry this has happened to you Niki. You know how i feel about it, it must be horrible being lied to and all this stupid info getting passed around especially now :(

I personally can't understand how some people can be so silly. Irving is a little life and he relies completely on people to do the best by him and it really upsets me that he's been exploited, thank god he wasn't a girl. It's shocking how irresponsible people can be too.

On saying that i also think people need to get a life, it's best all round for eveyone involved that Irving is returned to you, she wants rid of him, he wants a home and you want him back. It's ridiculous how people can make a massive slanging match out of it and go feeding information as if we're all 13 years old. Why can people never just et a grip and do the right thing?

I'm so glad this person has been reported so that all can see how she's lied and exploited, for all anyone else knows all her show/breeding pigs were from rescues or pet homes. Lets just hope Irving gets a new home where he's loved and spoiled and that she learns from this. So sorry :( x
 
I am sorry that all this has happened Niki. It's downright inconsiderate, disrespectful and idiotic for someone to do such a thing. *Hugs* to you.
 
As I stated before Niki I totally agree with everyone else. We can only hope that Irving finds a loving forever home, with some just like you, who will treasure him. I'm so sorry you haven't been able to get him back.:(
 
Niki, I am so sorry you haven't had the result you deserved :(
I hope she can live with what she has done but most of all I hope Irving is happy and treated well.
 
Niki are you sure you dont want to give it one last try? The offer still stands...:)
 
I don't sleep til 5 & 6am thinking about what to do next & wondering if there will be a reply tomorrow - i can't carry on

I think you're doing the right thing drawing a line under it.

it makes me so angry that one persons selfish and inconsiderate behaviour can cause so much upset and hurt when you are already going through a difficult time.

I'm so sorry you didn't get Irving back. :(

Oh Niki, I am so sorry that you have not had the result that you wanted :( But you are right to draw the line as otherwise you will make yourself ill and I'm sure that Irving wouldn't want that. This woman is a nasty piece of work for what she has done to you but you are right that it's time to move on. I really do hope that Irving ends up somewhere safe which he truly deserves. It's just a shame that she didn't do the right thing and return him to you :( Sending lots of hugs your way x
 
As i've previously said i cannot FORCE her to do anything, she knows i want him & can contact me.
Apart from going directly to her home, which would implicate someone else, which i don't want to do as i don't wish for any trouble to land at their door there is nothing else i can do.

The stress of this (and family events) have already taken their toll on me & i'm no good ill to any of my other fur-kids who have to be my first concern.
 
Totally agree Niki. I even contacted her on Facebook and wasn't nasty I said look you want to find Irving a new home I will collect, pay you for him and take him. No reply. It's sad. I thought I put it across well. I told her I wasn't interested in what went on before we just wanted Irving to have a forever home.

There isn't much more any of us can do now and as you say you can't do it to yourself any longer not when you have other things in your life to deal with.
