I look a mess but am happy one down one to go, carrie anne is home in a while she can help me do the boys with Bbon Jovi blaring out what a perfect day ahhhhh relaxed already dirty but relaxed hubby always says I'm at my happiest covered in ^-^
 
i took a parcel in for a house across the road the other day, came in from work and started to clean the large cage out which has a level higher than me :( so has i clean it i get covered in hay and pig poo :D and you can guess didn't the door go and it was the man for his parcel :-\

i looked a mess from head to toe, i said " sorry it took me so long to answer just cleaning out the pigs" ^-^

he probably went away with this image of big fat pink pigs running around the house ;D or maybe he thinks that's how i refer to the men of the house :D

i wash the carpet last night, smells quite nice in here today. can't wait to move and have laminate floor and they can wee all they want :)
 
;D how embarrasing lol i have to change 2-3 times when i hold the pigs otherwise I'm covered in hair,wee and poo... sometimes cindy gets a poop on my school dress... hope it isnt too noticable lol
 
Re: just had spring clean and a very sad death

after doing the girls major spring clean decieded to wait for carrie anne to clean out the boys wish I hadn't Bertie who is carrie annes pig died in front of both of us just like that, to say I'm stunned is an understatement, I picked him up as he looked quite, he was fine this morning eating and pooing etc he went limp in my arms and i noticed he was paralised from his back end then he just rolled in my arms I laid him down and he died I am feeling rather wierd actually seeing a pig die like that has stunned me beyond belief and although carrie anne is fine, upset obvioulsy but I'm like on auto pilot and my tummy feels like its going to explode I must be holding it in my eyes are tingling so expect to cry my eyes out anytime soon, MIck says he thinks it was a heart attack he was only 2 nearly 3 , I'm crying now so need to go and sob my heart out, but just wanted to let you guys know :'( :'( :'(

sending youa big hug
 
Really sorry to hear this. What a shock for you, so sudden. Take care.
 
Michelle cry for as long as you can - you'll only bottle it up & you will be in pain with your ulcer. I am lost for words & a 4th 'really sorry for your loss' seems to have lost its effect. I am going to put a candle on for you guys now and all of those who have lost piggies recently. Chin up M & CA. RIP little man :-*
 
oh no :( this is so sad , like others say words dont mean much , but there heart felt :'( :'(

just been spending time in the sheds Artie is looking better I was worried for him last night as well, but I did give him some baytril for my own peace of mind this morning he is bouding about but then Bertie was fine yesterday morning, :-\
carrie anne is fine shes tougher then her old mum lol, she saw him take his last breath and said has he gone so she knew instinctly, I'm giving her murphy so she still has 4 all boys,
last night i couldn't eat and felt really bad , Mick in his wisdom made me talk about it and yes we lost dobby to bumble foot 3 older girls lilac quincee and purdey to old age nothing connected there different sheds even and now Bertie fine one minute dying the next most prob heart attack, so fingers crossed nothing connected thats what was worrying me I even said to Mick its the hay but as he said nothing was any different same farm same field etc and all died for different reasons, nad last night I upped the heating seems to have done artie some good so its staying warmer then before sod the electric bill my pigs come first , :'(

Life certainly is cruel! :'( It must have been such an awful shock for you both! Poor Carrie-Anne must be feeling really upset....you too! :'( :'( :'(
 
I think it was such a shock as he was fine earlier I picked him up to stroke him and noticed his rear end slightly limp then instantly he went limp turned in my arms and as i laid him down he died pow! just like that so quick we both looked at each other and mouths dropping open just looked at each other hardly daring to believe what had just happend, I couldn't cry becasue i didn't want to upset Carrie anne so held it in and felt worse for it, mIck said i was white and looked visably shocked , to be honest I'm still gobsmacked, I've never lost a pig like that before in all my years of keeping them, one that wasn't ill anyway, I just keep saying amazing to anyone who will listen, its like he waited for us :'(
 
So sorry to hear this Michelle

Sending big hugs to you and Carrie-Anne
 
Dear Michelle and Carrie Anne i'm so sorry little Bertie went that way, but i'm glad he waited till his mummy and granny were there with him :'( :'( :'( :'(
Hugs and piggie kisses to you all and the remaining sad boys in the herd :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
Mick is wonderful making you talk and go thru everything like that, it would've helped a little to know that it's nature that's intervening not anything you could've done :( :( :( :( :(
 
you would not believe how nervous I am in opening up every morning, I look round and if I see alls ok then I go in, but am so nervous, it is now raining very hard yet again our garden is soaked and squelches , but the heatings on in the sheds to keep it at an even tempreture I'm now thinking maybe tempreture fluctuations did'nt help, again clutching at straws, Mick buried Bertie with dobby and the girls under the trees, please God no more :embarassed:

I am still doing the same Michelle. I so want to be able to go back to feeling excited about seeing them all each morning, instead of holding my breath until I see each little furry head bobbing around! Its only after I have been round each and every one of them that I start to relax.

I have been through every possibility of why these things happen but to be honest I really don't think there is anymore we can do. We can't be there to watch them every minute of every day.

Bertie will now be playing happily at Rainbow Bridge with Dobby and all the others, in beautiful warm sunshine. :)
