Can't quite believe I'm writing this but today I said goodbye to my fuzzy pig Mollie

Mollie came to live with us from Coseley GPR about 2 1/2 years ago. Her exact age was unknown but she was thought to be around 3 when she came into rescue. She'd been pregnant when surrendered but her babies didn't survive. She came to live with my dear old fuzzy Mr Ted who chose her out of all the ladies available and they lived harmoniously as 2 fuzzies until I suddenly lost Mr Ted to a urethral stone.

After Ted's passing Mollie was a nightmare to bond. She showed me up on a number of dates when she beat up suitors young and old, male and female. She finally accepted Mabel from Potteries GPR who was only a baby at the time. They lived happily together until a couple of weeks ago when Mabel had her spay and Mollie decided to unceremoniously evict her. Since then she'd been very happy living the life of a solo pig next to the company of the others.

In the last few months Mollie had developed heart trouble and a number of infections. Despite the very best veterinary care and support she was in a process of decline which accelerated this week. I couldn't go on watching her star fade and her quality of life deteriorating. I am an advocate of the "better a day too soon than a moment too late" philosophy so today I made the difficult decision to help her to the Rainbow Bridge.

Farewell my fuzzy faced menace. Cause mayhem at the Bridge. We will miss you xx

I'm so sorry you've lost beautiful Mollie. She always sounded like a right little trouble maker from your stories of her! Goodnight fuzzy little girl x
 
Shocked and saddened by this, goodnight naughty Mollie... go wreak havoc over the bridge little lady
 
So sorry to read this about Mollie.. your post made me sad but also giggle when you described how she 'beat up potential suitors... bless you... big hugs x

I can laugh about her bad behaviour now but at the time it was mortifying - she traumatised a number of piggies :lol!:. Always good to remember her at her most feisty best and not as she was becoming at the end.
 
I am so sorry to read this Vicki.
Mollie sounded like the most fantastic pig, and I have a soft spot for the ASBO girlies.
I always smiled whenever I read of Miss Mollies wild antics - she was certainly a character.
Huge hugs for you tonight from Switzerland.

Sounds like a piggy version of MrsHogg! :yikes: Sorry for your loss. :(
 
Very sorry that you've had to say goodbye to beautiful Mollie. She really was a stunner and it sounds as though she had very high expectations when it came to piggy friends...just remember she isn't in pain anymore and knows you loved her dearly. X
 
I'm so sorry Vicki :( She was a well loved girl and you made sure she didn't suffer and had the best life with you. *hugs*. Sweet dreams little Mollie, rest now over Rainbow Bridge x
 
I'm so sorry to hear your sad news. Sending you hugs, such a hard decision but you know it was the right one.
RIP dear Mollie.
 
So so sorry to hear of the loss of your little Ted. I lost my Esme 6 weeks ago and know how bad it feels. She was a special Ted too - there's just something special about Teds.
We can only hold onto the fact that we do the very best for all our piggies.
 
The rainbow bridge shall forever be changed, it will never know what hit it with that little character popcorning over it.

So sorry for your loss, she had a wonderful and fulfilling life with you and Mollie now has piggies to terrorize for the rest of eternity the little hooligan.
 
I'm so sorry Vicki, she was an absolute star. Go raise hell at the Bridge, little one x
 
Vicki I am so sorry you ave lost beautiful little Mollie, always loved seeing her fuzzy bum on photos, she had the best of times living with you and her friends. What a little character. Huge huge hugs

Sleep well pretty girl

RIP Mollie

it's so sad reading these news, but this is their life... they are so delicate pets...
She was so beautiful with her fuzzy fur. Sorry, I have no proper words, I always feel sad when a piggie leaves us...:soz:
HUGS to you:hug:
 
I'm so so sorry for your loss.. she was so stinkin' cute. I bet she and Mr. Ted are having a hilarious reunion in piggie heaven. :hug:You did the right thing.

There's this online piggie market I sometimes buy toys from, and they use adorable fake piggies to show the scale of their products. Mollie looks like she could be one of their models - too cute to be real. She was truly a doll :luv:
 
Thank you all for your kind words.
No piggy has ever simply passed away in their sleep in my house. I have always had to make the decision for them. I know deep down that it's the kindest thing for them but the burden weighs heavily on me. Today has been a very tearful day for me. We've gone from 5 piggies to 3 in a short space of time and I've lost 2 very strong willed piggies.

I'm so sorry Vicki. I've been thinking about you and your fuzzy Mollie today x

Bless you, @Beans&Toast - I've been thinking of you and the lovely Beans today, too. How is she doing?

This week the forum has lost a number of its stars. Such a sad week x
 
Beans is still quiet and withdrawn. She comes out to eat, drink and have a little wander but she's just not herself without her sister.

I have noticed so many piggies on their way to the Bridge the past few days. It sounds silly but it makes me happy to think that they're all up there together and Toast will have someone to boss about again. I think your Mollie would put her in her place though!

Please give Beans a snuggle from me. I think Mollie will be somewhere giving out the orders. And Toast will be right alongside her xx
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. Mollie had such a gorgeous little face! I loved to read of her antics. RIP Mollie x
