I'm so so gutted to be posting here but yesterday I lost my little Poggle. Literally my little best buddy, my original pig, my cheeky chap. He'd been poorly for a long time, nothing seemed to be helping and he had got so weak. He didn't want to eat and was refusing the syringe. I couldn't see him suffer for my selfish sake any more.

I miss him so badly already. Beating myself up over the 20 minutes I had yesterday before taking him to the vet, I left him in his cage with Tiny rather than have him for another cuddle because I wanted her I be able to say goodbye. I would give anything to have 20 more minutes with my little buddy now. I knew I'd regret it and I do, more than anything.

I love you Pogglepig, I miss you so bad x

Oh no mate I am so sorry :(

Please don't beat yourself up. You put him in with Tiny so they could be together, that is such a lovely thing to have done for her and him. Real love and thought there.

I am really sorry. You are a great piggy mom, one of the most caring I have ever encountered over the years. Lots of love from Rach & I x x

Sleep well little one

RIP Poggle

Hey Lee :bye:

Thanks for your kind words :hug:. Think I've got to be the worst person for keeping in touch ever right?!

I just want him back so bad :( What I wouldn't give for those 20 minutes, or even just 5 :soz:.

Thankfully I had hold of him in a big cuddle as he went to sleep, which brings me some comfort, but jeez do I miss the cheeky fella already.

Don't be silly, life takes us all in different directions mate.

I know, we lost Cookie before Christmas and it killed me... I haven't done her RB post yet. I understand the longing to see them. Remember what a great life you gave him and when he needed you the most you helped him across the bridge despite the hurt it caused you. That is love right there. When he went he would have known his mom was with him.

Hugs

Oh, he looks so handsome. I'm sorry that you've had to help him on his way. Tough decision to have to make but the kindest thing for him. Popcorn free x

Ohh I'm so sorry to hear about little Cookie :( I hope you guys are ok :hug:.

The sadness is just the worst, but I know after a while it'll be brighter and all the happy memories will lead the way :). It's just getting past that hurt and feeling like I betrayed him that's the hardest :soz:

Really hope you guys are ok :hug:your kind words always help :nod: X

Thanks, yeah. She had a wonderful life but was my favourite (i know you shouldn't have them and I love them all to bits but she will always bit that bit extra special)

It is isn't it, but time heals it really does. You didn't betray him at all, you loved him and did what was right for him all the way. Guilt is such a hard part of grief, possibly the worst emotion because while it isn't rational we try to rationalise it. Hugs

I am sure our angel piggies are having a lovely time at the bridge right now :)

Lovely to see you again buddy, sorry it in such sad circumstances x

She was such a sweet girl, I always remember your photos and stories on here about your ladies :luv:.

The guilt is definitely the worst and the physical pain that seems to come from it (something most people don't seem to understand re a Guinea pig :soz: so it's always nice to have you guys!)

Deep down I know it was for the best and the vet thought he was very weak, especially with how quickly and quietly he drifted away, which again is comforting that it was probably time :soz:

I like to think they're all munching some lovely long grass and dandelions together somewhere warm and sunny :roll:.

It's great to hear from you too, I've very nearly finished my degree (thank goodness lol) so hopefully will make more of an appearance here again soon :nod: X
 
:( So sorry that you lost your handsome little man. He was beautiful. You thought of him when you left him with Tiny, even though you wanted a cuddle. When he stopped eating he was telling you that it was time to let him go, and you thought of him when you helped him to the Bridge. :bye::bye: You are a selfless, loving piggie Mum.
 
Aw that's so sad. You sound absolutely gutted, and he was obviously a very much loved Poggle-Pig indeed. You absolutely did the right thing with letting him and Tiny be together like that.
Be free at the Bridge sweet Poggle xx

Thank you both for your kind words :hug:. I feel a little brighter today, it's amazing what talking to like minded people can do :)

Miss you PogglePig :hug::luv: :( :bye:
 
I am very sorry for your loss! We all react different according to our character and to the nature of the individual bond; there is no right or wrong!

Losing your first piggy is always one of the hardest things, as they have a special space in your life and have taught you so much!

RIP Charlie
