Pound Shilling & Pig
Adult Guinea Pig
I just wanted to post a small tribute to my sweet girl Olga-Orange. some of you may have seen her picture before as she has featured in rngpwellfare's calendar several times over the years.
she was always a very cheerful pig who made me smile. her lifelong companion Oakley passed away a few months ago and other than him she did not like other boars and would rumble-strut and bottom waggle and teeth chatter at them! sows on the other hand she liked and was so good at taking troubled piggies under wing and showing them they did not need to be afraid.
she was 7 and had become quite elderly. on christmas morning she was eating her veg, in the afternoon she was snuggling with her friends and in the evening when i took them hay she pottered out of her house to start munching on it. i carried on giving the other piggies theirs and looked back to see she was on her side, i picked her up and she drew her final breaths
i know it is just coincidence but she was a very special pig and it seems as if she chose a special day to cross the bridge and to wait for me to be there to say goodbye. i am grateful her passing was swift and am thinking now of how she used to love to popcorn with Oakley aound and around and aound.
