I prefer to wait until a body is cold before I bury one of mine. But you are doing great.

This is my goodbye to Nesta; I send off all my piggies with some flowers from my garden - whatever is in bloom at the time and if I have a choice, something that suits their personality.

Thats lovely. x
 
I've just read through all of this and it's absolutely heartbreaking. I'm so sorry, but how amazingly brave of you @CarnivalPiggy to keep him right with you in his last hours, that would have helped keep him calm and bring him so much comfort.

This forum never fails to amaze me, how supportive everyone can be in helping others to deal with such hard situations.
I would have been a hysterical mess if I was having to deal with that on my own.


You've done such a great thing for Ginny, being there as he slipped away, he went knowing how loved he was and I hope that gives you some comfort. X

Thank you so much everyone. He was my first piggy and helped me through so so many things, like when I was on the verge of suicide or having intense struggles with school. I'm happy he's lived this long. I'm eating Ben&Jerry and feeling more support by your words xx thanks

Ginny will always remain your special piggy and he will always be with you.

I try to think of my past piggies as my little furry guardian angels that help me look out after my current lot. They are still in my thoughts and they have helped me learn what I am now passing on to others, so their legacy is still very much alive. I just can't touch and see physically them anymore, which at times has admittedly been difficult.

Take your time with your grieving. You can't hurry that on. Keep yourself busy while you are stilling feeling somewhat numb, but allow yourself a good old cry when the time has come; also keep in mind that you are going have a bit of an emotional crash once the adrenalin is running out and you feel hungover, very drained and blue just from that, usually in a couple of days. After all the care you have given Ginny, it is going to be tough to change your daily routine to one where he is no longer part. That is the most painful bit. :(

But you have certainly not failed him in any way. He could not have had a better and more loving home!
 
I am so so sorry for your loss,
Sleep tight Ginny
Popcorn free over the rainbow bridge
Go find your friends.
You have been so brave CarnivalPiggy, you have given Ginny a fantastic life, & you were a comfort to him in his death. He couldn't have asked for a better piggy slave. My thoughts are with you at this sad time.
Hugs & kisses
 
Oh no I am so sorry for your loss :( It sounds very like he had some underlying problem causing the weight loss, most likely there was very little you could have done to have prevented his passing. My last piggy I lost had a mass growing in her chest, which caused heart failure eventually & sadly it's common for piggies to eventually get those sort of things when they get older. Big ((hugs)) I know how much you loved him & how much you looked after him so well. Popcorn free Ginny x

I've spoken to Pedro's picture and told him to look out for Ginny. It's sad and empty but that's cos we loved them. x
 
I am not able to express myself about what I am feeling now for you, you are in my thoughts now... I have read this thread and these pages and I can only say that I admire you for what you have done for you piggie... Now I want to say my thought (of course not appreciated my most people): I think it is very easy to run to the vet for stopping OUR sufference... yes, most of you will not agree, but I see that many times we just want to convince ourselves that our pets are in such a great physical pain and need to speed up their natural passage. Actually I don't think your piggie had such a bad passage: he was cuddled till the end of his days, surrounded by your love until his final breath, just like the nature command us to do with all our family members...
I was not as brave as you in the past, but you have taught me a lot...
hugs!
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. :( I've been there when two of mine passed away as well, and although it was so hard for me to witness, it did give me comfort to know that they were with a familiar person for the entire time, as your little man was as well. ((HUGS)) to you.
 
omgoodness I am so sorry. Its the school holidays and the 1st time I have been on the forum for a day or two. You gave him the best life ever and he gave you some good memories.
What a terrible year you have had so far.
Message me when you are ready and we can sort out Peppa and Porridge. No rush at all though just get yourself sorted 1st. Such a sad loss. RIP little man x x
 
Thank you xx

to make it worse a relative called and told me I was "freer now and and less tied down", no are you okay etc etc, told me to go outside and enjoy the sunny weather and hanged up after a minute of that. I'm currently bawling in tears as I struggled to keep steady on the phone.
