New Born Pup
Sadly lost one of our piggies, Pepper (who I (to the annoyance of my wife)) usually called "boy".
He had seemed under the weather, but we didn't anticipate how badly. We took him to an emergency vet last night, and have to say, we were hopeful. The vet thought it might be a respiratory infection.
She went back at midnight, and felt he was doing well, but unfortunately this morning, he had passed away.
I thought I'd be all "manly" about it, but surprised myself at how upset I am. Now have the difficult task later of telling my daughter, who's at school just now, oblivious.
Also need to decide what next, ashes, burial in the back garden? Going to be hard. Will try and post a photo later, and also might try and get my daughter to write a few words (she's only 11, and I think she will take it pretty hard, so this might help a little).
RIP wee man, you will be greatly missed.
