Hi everyone
Looking for some advice on how to handle a piggy bereavement. We've had Toby and Logan for about 4 years now, but sadly on Friday we lost Toby (the white lunkarya in my avi) to an ongoing health problem he had. I'm completely heartbroken and am doing my best to cope, but could do with some advice on how to handle Logan. He's still eating and drinking, although seems a little quiet. I don't know if I'm just putting human emotions on to him and over thinking things though.
Logan and Toby were very close and I don't want Logan to become withdrawn. I was wondering if it's worth leaving the radio on for Logan while I'm out in the day so there's some audio stimulation for him, or if this is overdoing things and won't make any difference. I know people sometimes leave the radio on for dogs during the day, but I accept they're smarter than pigs so need more stimulation.
Am I being daft or is there some merit in this?
Thanks
