Wise words there from @Wiebke.
I, like many others on here, know exactly what you are feeling. The realisation dawns in all of us at some point that our furries' time with us is limited. I remember it well with Mrs Fudge - the gradual development of bony shoulders in one who had looked like an over stuffed cushion all her life; the gradual hearing loss and reliance on movement to wake her up when she was dozing; the slowing down and dozing all the time.
We had a great last few months. I told her every day how much I loved her, and did all I could to make her comfortable and happy. She became less feisty towards the end and mellowed with us. When the time came I had no regrets at all about the life I had given her and she had enjoyed the best of care.
The same applies to your Beans. Make each day count. Show her the love you have always shown her and do not worry about the inevitable day you will have to say goodbye. Time with our piggies is short and precious. Just treasure your time together xx
