Hairless_Willows thread got me thinking - Just nice to show you all the boars over the years and how they are still thought of everyday.

Fudge & Dil
Fudge was mine and Dil was my sister. They were our first every pigs and we got them in 2001. They were brothers. Fudge is brown/white. Fudge sadly died in 2004 from a seizure. Dil lived on until 2006 and was eventually PTS.

Coco
He was a birthday present for my 16th birthday back in 2004. He lived with Dil after Fudge died and sadly Coco was PTS in 2006 after his third URI. He died just 3 wheeks after Dil and tbh I think he died of a broken heart.

Sage
Was my sisters - brought from P@H he sadly died at 11 months old. He had a seizure when he was little and was left with a permanent head tilt.

Spot
Was another of my sister pigs - again from p@H. He died just five days after buying him as when she got him he had a severe URI and was very thin.

Basil
He was my third guinea pig and he was one in a million. He spent his whole left on his own because he was aggressive to other boars but he was such a joy!
He died one month off his 4th birthday

Jasper
My sisters / mums - he was brought the same time as Spot. Jasper lived for a few years but got very ill and despite my mums best efforts he was put to sleep. He was a lovely character.

Cinnamon
Ahh my lovely boy! He lived with Fennel and he was such a sweet little boy. One day he wasn't right so I booked him in at the vets for when I left work at lunch but when I went home my dad said he had found him dead in his hutch. He was just two years.

Fennel
I joined this forum the day Fennel died. He was one of the nicest pigs you'd ever meet. After Cinnamon died he became a trio with Jake & Hector. He died from a URI, he had shown no signs until it was too late. He was just over four years.

Hector
Some of you will remember Hector. Jakes brother, who died Feb this year. He had developed overgrown molars and he'd had two successful visits to the rodentologists but one week after his second visit he became very depressed and seemed to had lost the will to continue. Jake was close to his brother and snuggled him all night until the end.

Butterscotch
What can I say -he broke my heart. Got him from Allan (tillythepig) at the RSPCA. He was such a lovely pig. I noticed one day his testicles looked swollen and he was struggling to wee. Vet discovered a hernia and neutered him too. He was fine for 3 days but on the fourth day he got bloat and was in so much pain I had to PTS as the pain was so much he kept hitting his head on the vets table. Just 16 months old, I had him 6 wheeks. Died 1st July
