This is a post I dreaded writing......
My Lennie travelled to the bridge in my arms at 02.50 this morning after a very short illness 8...

Lennie, you came into my life nearly 2 years ago. I was collecting something from freecycle and you were in a box with clothes and rubbish thrown on top. It was so wee sodden, I thought the bottom would fall out :( You came home with me and stayed!

Every pig has a purpose and yours was to teach me the depth of love I could feel for an animal. The pleasure I felt when I held your furry little body close to me can never be matched.

I know I made you warm and comfortable with a lovely big cage and the lounge was your oyster! I hope I made you as happy as you made me my big man x)

I am here crying and Fifi has sung you a beautiful song to take to the bridge.....be happy there my darling. Here are some of my happiest memories of you.

Sleep well, always your mummy xxxxx


With Timmy, remember when he was on your back while you were running around the livng room?

Oh Fi, there are no words. :( So sorry for you loss, he was gorgeous and looked so big compared to Georgie. Thinking of you and Lennie today, can't believe how quick he went. ((((hugs)))) x
 
A tribute to Lennie:died 20th November; age unknown:




It’s time for me to go now; for me my time has come
I waited till you held me, gently in your arms
I felt your tears upon my face as you begged for me to stay
The sun does rise, the sun does set-it has to be this way
I know that you will miss me and many tears will fall
But know that I will wait for you and hear you when you call
My work down here is over; I have opened up your eyes
To how some of us are treated, ignored and despised
Help my fellow piggy friends in whatever way you can
I know that I can count on you, carry on what I began!
 
I am so sorry to hear about Lennie :( I remember you posting the pic of you both just a few days ago. Your tribute is very moving and it has brought a tear to my eye 8... RIP Lennie. Run free at the bridge and watch over your mummy and piggy friends as they love you very much x
 
Oh Fiona i'm so, so sorry to hear you have lost your darling Lennie.

All our little furries are special, but I think a few just touch our hearts that little bit more. The love you had for one another is so clear from the lovely picture of you both.

All my love to you, I know the hurt and sadness you must be feeling at the moment.

xxxxxxx
 
oh i am so sorry to hear about Lennie. Sending you lots of hugs

sleep well little one

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
So so sorry, I had my fingers crossed for him overnight. At least you can take comfort in the fact that you were with him.

Sleep tight Lennie

Sending hugs,

Sophie

Fiona, I am so so sorry to read this.

Lennie was a beautiful boy. I can see why he was so special. It is little consolation at a time like this, but remember you were with him as he flew away, and that probably helped you both.

Sleep well, darling boy. Much love to you, Fiona x

We are going out shortly to buy a tree or a bush to plant when we bury him later today. Every time I look out of the window, I will know he is there x

Thank you all for your kind words, they mean so much to me. I am truly heartbroken.

That sounds like a lovely idea. He will be around forever in your heart xx
 
I am so sorry, I was hoping so much that he would make it to today. *Hugs* to you. xx
 
Such sadness, I'm truly very sorry for your loss. A very special piggy and I'm just pleased for him that you were his mummy.

Night night little one x
 
I'm so very sorry to learn about Lennie - a handsome piggie indeed, but I hope it is some small comfort to you that you were with him when he crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. RIP little Lennie, and many hugs to you.
 
Fiona......I am so so sorry, I don't think anything we say can take away the pain...
sending you huge hugs and kisses...to you and the boys (big and little)
Sleep tight Lennie xx
 
I'm so sorry, I dont know what to say Fi. Just know that I feel heartbroken for you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Aw Fiona, I am so very sorry, he was obviously such a special piggy and looked like he was a real character, and very handsome too. He looks like a much-loved piggy, and I know you will be heart-broken, so big hugs to you from me, OH and the pigs. I hope he has met up with his pals and my little ones at the bridge, I bet he will keep an eye on them.
Thats a lovely idea to plant something, I like to know that mine are still there in the garden and I talk to them when I am outside.
I hope you are OK and I am so sorry,

Lots of love,
Katie x
 
We have buried him under a buddleja bush in a bed of aubiose and some of his favourite basil. I chose this bush as it is bare in winter and will remind me of when I lost him, but in summer is a mass of green leaves and purple flowers, which will fill me with joy for the special relationship we had.

Thank you all for understanding. David is devastated too and it takes piggy people to understand eachothers pain when we lose a special one.

(((((hugs))))) to you all

I am so sorry to read of your loss Fiona. It was clear from your photos just what a special bond you and Lennie had. Thinking of you and sending lots of love, Rachel x
 
Oh Fiona, I am so so sorry to hear about Lennie via your pm.

I know just how much you were worrying about him last evening and I was hoping that he would make it through the night.

You loved Lennie and he knew it. Remember the happy times that you both had together, as that will help you at this time.

RIP little Lennie. Popcorn, run free amongst the lush green grass! xx>>>

this was one special guy i remember all his antics, he was another of our special favs that me and Dukey spoke about everyday, dam it another of my little ones gone..........another little star shining brightly above us twinkling away xx>>>xx>>>xx>>>
 
Oh no :( poor Lennie, god bless him. I feel for you so much, every time one of the forum piggies goes to Rainbow Bridge it breaks my heart :( He will be with all his friends, it's sad for us piggy mummies that are left behind with the empty space in our life. I still cry most days when I water my plants where I placed Sleepy and George. It's not easy is it - I've got a huge lump in my throat now and I can hardly see to type. Thinking of you loads -cuddle and cherish your other piggies loads they will help you through this sad time.
