Floss came to me in June 2020 from a local rescue after Fudge lost her cagemate. She was always a very shy but mellow pig. This piggy death has left me shocked and heartbroken to the core. Floss came home from her spay operation Monday afternoon fine and passed away sometime during the early hours Tuesday morning. I have no idea what happened. I’m so sorry Floss, I can think about you without crying uncontrollably now and I know the waves of pain will lessen over time. Your little paws have left footprints on my heart forever. Popcorn heard over the rainbow bridge my sweet sweet darling 💔🌈ED19B4E2-BAA7-4125-9FF6-BAF7FCC0C1BA.webp0DBB9791-8E75-4411-A7C7-25290E36D4FF.webpC652E55A-2DDB-4D03-8610-0847679DEDAE.webpD48D2B08-2275-4833-BD8C-A906FE164288.webp0ABF1A42-7209-491A-80E5-D683D5408B93.webpD0FDC873-4EED-4DF7-937B-D4991A30BFFC.webp38242B63-BA68-43F4-A10A-F931C5141D0C.webp0EB6F220-0DFC-4F29-98D7-A150D3D403DE.webp39BF39D6-7285-47C0-8A67-54AE5DEDC93B.webp

I'm so sorry for you lost Floss.
What a beautiful piggy she was. It sounds like she had a wonderful life with you and her friend Fudge.
Sleep tight gorgeous girl 💕🌈
 
So sorry for your loss.
Sounds like she had a lovely home with you and Fudge.
Sending hugs.
Sleep tight light Floss.xx
 
I’m so sorry you lost beautiful Floss. Popcorn high over the bridge. Take care. ❤️
 
I’m so sorry you lost Floss in such tragic circumstances, she sounded like she was doing so well after her op. Beautiful photos of such a gorgeous girl, I can understand how devastated you are feeling right now, sending hugs x
Sleep tight Floss 🌈
 
I’m so sorry you’ve lost beautiful Floss, especially in such sad circumstances, sending massive hugs. She was a stunning little girl. Hope you’re ok x
Sleep tight Floss ❤️ xx
 
So sorry for your loss, popcorn free Floss 💕🌈
 
So sorry that I missed the news about Floss.
She was a beautiful girl and had a wonderful life with you.
It’s very hard not knowing why she passed away but she was at home surrounded by love and care.
Holding you in my heart.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve
 
Thankyou for all your very kind words. I am still struggling with coming to terms with it. I have had piggies die suddenly which is always a shock. This one feels different as I feel I caused it or at least had a hand in it. I’m sure time will heal and the grief will subside somewhat. I’m reaching out to my doctor on Monday as I’m really struggling to eat or sleep and come to terms with it. But thankyou, the wonderful members of this forum offer support and not judgement and this has eased the pain a little 💔❤️ Xx
 
It’s so sad. You did absolutely nothing wrong at all, but you are left with such horrible feelings which I think many people can relate to. Good that you’re speaking to your doctor; you’re a very caring owner who did your very best and you don’t deserve to suffer. I hope you can get some support.

Thank you ❤️
 
My condolences. Extremely saddened by your loss. Prayers for you to pull through.
 
I received a sympathy card from the vets yesterday with a packet of seeds in to grow some forget-me-nots. How lovely of them, it was really appreciated. I’ve never been able to grow anything but am going to buy a white pot and plant them next June in her memory. ❤️

That’s such a lovely thing to do. I’m sure they will grow for you. 💐
 
I’m so sorry that I missed this thread (only popping on sporadically at the moment). I am gutted to hear that Floss suddenly made her way to the Rainbow Bridge. It’s such a shock when this happens. Please go gently as you grieve. The seeds sound a lovely idea x
 
Since losing Floss, I’ve slept downstairs so I can be with Fudge. Is it odd that she doesn’t seem to care about Floss being missing ? That she will happily popcorn all over her cage in our living room like Floss never existed?it was difficult to find her a friend as she hated most at the rescue boys and girls. I’m not sure if I will find her another friend. She is 4.5 now and will be my last piggy.
 
Thanks everyone for your kind words, the last 2 weeks have been incredibly difficult. My doctor gave me some short term light sedation to help me sleep. My poor husband has been excellent, staying with me when I’ve struggled to sleep and making sure I eat each day and sitting with me silently whilst I gaze over the fresh mound of earth beneath where she lays in the garden even when it’s pouring with rain. My broken heart is starting to heal. This forum has been a great support over the last 4 years and I thank you all greatly, it’s very much appreciated. ❤️
 
How lovely that I contacted Neville’s Nest from whom I adopted Floss and they are going to find me a friend for my old lady fudge until she passes(she’s only 4.5 years so could live another 2.5 years) so we shall see who she picks to be her friend for life!
 
So sorry for your loss.
Thinking of you all at this difficult time 💕

Enjoy the bridge gorgeous girl 🌈
 
I’m picking up Bronte tomorrow from the rescue to bond with bereaved fudge. Wish me luck! She’s absolutely gorgeous and I’m not falling in love with a farm bred for constant babies at all!
