hey all. for a round up. one of my two girls passed away a few months ago. leaving just the one piggie. we got her new friends and they bonded well. i posted recently about it.

but i have to give them up for adoption today. and let them go. i realised with my failing health. AKA my back. Knees. i could not keep up with cleaning them and it was getting harder-sorer to clean them.

i am rather upset about having to do this. especially for the girl i got at the very start. but with my health and life happenings it was starting to affect them.

i know it was for the best, but i cant help missing them. every time i open the fridge i keep hearing the sqweaks :(
 
I am so sorry to hear this. It will take you a while to adjust, you are grieving for them. It's so sad but it was the kindest thing to do for them and for you.
Look after yourself. Xx
 
I’m so sorry you have had to make this decision. Sending you a hug 🤗

I hope your health issues can be sorted out or managed well. Good luck ❤️
 
I am very sorry for the decision you have had to make 😞 I know only too well how heartbreaking it is after I had to make the same decision for my last remaining girl last month after I needed to end the piggy cycle for the sake of my mental health 😞 Luckily my friend offered her a home and has bonded her with one of her groups and Esme is now very happy

It’s awful but I promise you. you are making the right decision for you and your piggies x
 
I remember having to give up Comet & Blitzen and it was soul destroying - it was nobody's fault, none of it was avoidable and I'd run out of other options.

But I also know they were adopted to a great home. I got to see a couple of photos of them after the adoption and I knew from the look on Comet's face he was happy, and I know at least one forum member had seen them at the rescue prior to their adoption.

It's never nice. You feel like you've let them down, like somehow you've not fulfilled the duty you had to them when you took them on, but you haven't failed them. You did what you could when you could and I promise you they'll know nothing different.

:hug:
 
So sorry that you had to make such a difficult decision.
It was clearly made out of love but it is a bereavement so be gentle with yourself
