Hi all
I've found this forum whilst searching for answers having just lost my little girl. Posting on the Rainbow Bridge thread feels very healing, so here goes :)

Fudge passed over the bridge overnight last Sunday/Monday. I came down Monday morning to find her gone (she looked like she was asleep in her little house), yet the day before she'd been happily munching grass outside in her run, and I'd sent her to bed with her favourite mix of lettuce, chopped cucumber, and celery stalks. I came onto the forum to see if it was normal that a seemingly perfectly healthy piggy should just go like that, and I'm comforted to see that it's fairly common. It just seemed her time was up.

Fudge was 8 years old and lived indoors with us. We'd had her from a baby. She was never cold, never hungry, never lonely. We talked to her all the time, and she loved to come out of her house and "listen" when my partner played the flute. I often think I can still hear her, moving around in her hay, but I guess grief does funny things like that.

Anyway, thank you for listening. As I said, writing all that down has been healing.

Goodbye Fudge. We shall all miss you.
 
I am so sorry for the loss of your little girl. Eight is a great age for a piggy and Fudge obviously shared a great bond with you and had such a wonderful life for of love and that is something that all of us could ever ask for in life.

Huge hugs x

Sleep well little girl

RIP Fudge

I am very sorry for your loss! What a great age and - if not for you, then for Fudge - what a great way of going without suffering. It is likely either a heart attack, sudden acute heart failure or a stroke. All three can happen without warning at any time.

it is always difficult when you are left with unanswerable questions, as the feeling of having missed out on a vital signal plays on your mind as a normal part of the grieving process for any loving pet owner.

I am sure that you have acquired a little furry guardian angel looking out for you. ;)
 
I am so sorry for your loss. You know she went to sleep with a full tummy & love around her. To get to 8yrs is a testimony to your love & care.
Sleep tight little fudge
 
I'm so sorry that you lost your girl. You clearly loved her very much. She reached an excellent old age so clearly had the very best of care.
It is heartbreaking to lose a piggy suddenly, however in truth it is no less heartbreaking even if you know (or suspect) that you may be coming to the end of your time with them. I'm never ready to say goodbye to any of mine. Big hugs to you. Popcorn free at the Rainbow Bridge Fudge xx
