I still can't come to terms with the fact that my beautiful Toast is gone. At 9:16am on Tuesday 29th August Toast was set free of her struggle and helped on her way to the Rainbow Bridge.

She had so many health problems that she fought so well whilst still being a happy, active, cheeky pig who loved nuggets and to cuddle into my neck. This time it was just too much for her tired little body and she couldn't fight anymore.


She developed a very sudden onset of severe bloat on Saturday night and went downhill from there. I have such unbelievable guilt that I couldn't get the vet to see her in time and that I didn't notice signs sooner. Perhaps she'd still be with me today if things had been different, I just hope Toast knows how sorry I am and how much I tried to save her.

On Monday night I thought there was a small glimmer of hope, however by 1am I knew she had had enough. I took her into bed with me where she curled up and went to sleep in her blanket. At 4am she rested her chin on my lap and looked right into my eyes, she was telling me she was exhausted and she was ready to go. I held her all night while she slept until it was time to take her to the vets in the morning.


I stayed with Toast the whole time at the vets. I made her comfortable wrapped in her blanket on the table, talked to her and stroked her ears like I always did to calm her. I hope she passed knowing how much I love her.


Goodnight my beautiful Toasty Pig, my pretty piglet. Beans is missing you dearly and we are both lost without you but you're pain free and happy again. You were my absolute world, I love you more than you could ever know and I will miss you forever.

Sorry to hear this. What a beautiful pig. Don't punish yourself, you have done everything you ever could and that's what matters
 
Oh rip little Toast. Sorry for the loss of your sweetie pie. Hope you and Beans can find some comfort from each other.
 
A beautiful tribute to a beautiful piggy. You absolutely could not have done more for her, don't stress yourself over ifs and buts.
Hugs to you and Beans.
RIP beautiful Toast.
 
Oh no, poor wee Toast. I remember your original post clearly, I'm so sorry for your loss and what a befitting memorial for him. You can clearly see his pigsonality in the pigtures.

Big hugs for you
 
Thank you everyone. I am completely lost without Toast, I spent all my time looking after her and sorting her meds for the day, I don't know what to do with myself now
 
I can not believe that our* sweet Toast piggy is gone.
*There are just some piggies that are so special that a little part of their lives belongs to everyone -thank you for choosing to share your Toast with all of us.

In time I hope you are able to feel less guilty about everything, but I can't help but feel it was a blessing that Toast spent most of her final weekend with you - she was with the person who loved and understood her best.
I don't think she would have chosen to do anything differently.
 
What a beautiful tribute to the beautiful Toast. She had the very best life with you and Beans. I must confess she was one of my favourites (don't tell the others) and I have shed several tears. The forum is going to miss one of its celebrities. Popcorn free little Miss Toasty. Hugs to you xx
 
Beautiful post. Please don't beat yourself up. You loved Toast. She knew that. Hugs to you and Beans x
 
She was a piggy with a wonderful personality and had a fabulous life with you. Toasty maybe gone but will never be forgotten. Massive hugs to you :hugs:

RIP sweet little Toast xx
 
Big hugs to you during this hard time, she was a beautiful girl. :hug:
RIP Toast ❤
 
My eyes welled up reading your post- I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful pig. It's so sad, and you sound like you were so lovely with her. Hope you and Beans carry on having a happy life together x
 
Lovely tribute to a very special girl. I'm so sorry, please don't feel guilty, you did everything you could and tried to get her seen.

Sweet dreams beautiful. Hugs to you and Beans.
 
So very sorry buddy. Miss Toast was a forum favourite and lived such a wonderful life with you, you did all you could please remember that. Such a pretty girl with a huge character. Huge hugs

Sleep well little one

RIP Toast

I am so so sorry for your loss, you did absolutely everything, in fact went above & beyond what most people even do for their piggies, you clearly loved her so much :( xx Popcorn free sweet Toast, find my piggy angels & run free together forever x
 
I'm so so sorry to hear this, I've been following your piggies right from the start, as we joined the forum around the same time.

I have tears welling up, you did the best you could for your Toasty, including giving her the most comfortable ending you could.

Popcorn free, little one.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. We are all aware of how much love you have shown Toast and just how much you have done for her in her life. She has had a wonderful life with you and despite her illnesses you kept her well and happy. There's nothing more you could have done for her and just be reassured that she will no longer suffer x
 
Thank you everyone.

Toast did have the best life. For the 2 years I had her she dealt with all her health problems amazingly. For such a delicate little pig she was so strong and brave. I miss her every second of the day.
 
What beautiful pictures. Wouldnt of doubted your love. Big hug I know its tough.
