2 months ago we sadly lost Sparky's companion Jamie. And unfortunately tomorrow we are having to put Sparky down. It was the kinder option than lots of medication and intensive surgery that he was most likely to not survive. Both him and Jamie are/were age 6 and just the most beautiful boys. Sparky will be passing on the 21st and Jamie also passed on the 21st (December). I can't believe we will lose both boys so close together. Also, I sadly lost a close family member 9 days ago. It is such a shame to have lost so many members of the family so close together. However hard, it is comfort knowing that Sparky will be able to cross the rainbow bridge to be with Jamie and that he will be in no pain.
 
I'm so sorry, what a difficult time you're having with multiple family losses, that's so hard. It is very sad about Sparky, and you must be devastated. It sounds like they both had very long and happy lives and you did them proud, in time I hope that is of comfort to you. Letting Sparky go peacefully to be reunited with Jamie, and free of discomfort, sounds like a very compassionate way to handle a difficult situation. You are putting his needs first and giving the most precious gift. My thoughts are with you tomorrow.
 
Sorry to hear this sad news. Wishing you comfort 🙏
 
BIG HUGS

I am so very sorry about your horrendous run of losses. They are so hard to deal with when your grief is piling up faster than you can process it und it all ends up in kind of a general mush of misery as I know from my own experiences. :(

Please give yourself space and time to not be OK for a while. Try not to put yourself under too much pressure to function any more than absolutely necessary to keep things ticking over but no more than that.

Try to picture Sparky and Jamie together and grieve for them as the pair they were; which makes your own processing load that little bit lighter. If you can and whenever it feels right for you, put up a picture of the two of them together from happier days.

If you feel that it would help you, contact the free Blue Cross platforms (UK only animal charity) in the coming week since talking is the best thing you can do for yourself or -depending on how close your human loss is - google for a bereavement charity helpline.

My thoughts are with Sparky and you today.
 
Thank you for your support it means a lot. Sadly, sweet little Sparky passed sooner than expected. He took a turn for the worse last night. It was very peaceful and at home in his familiar environment and I was with him whilst he passed. My other pair of boys were also in the room and being at home seemed a comforting way for him to pass. He will always be loved and remembered so much. And I will always remember how much he loved a treat of red bell pepper! His favourite! And I will never forget the little head scratches he loved anytime I came into the room. You will always be remembered my sweet little boy Sparky. 🌈❤️
 
So sorry for your loss.
What a lovely and peaceful way for Sparky to go, in his own home surrounded by love.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve.
Holding you in my heart ❤️
 
Ahhhh Jamie was calling him and Sparky just couldn’t wait 🥰. It sounded like a peaceful passing in his own comfortable surroundings.

Popcorn high over the bridge gorgeous Sparky.
 
I am so sorry for your loss. Jamie called him and Sparky had to leave but travelled there carried by the love you have for him. They will always have a special place in your heart. Sending hugs
Munch those peppers together at the bridge little ones 🌈
 
I’m sorry to learn Sparky has died
Jamie was calling to him
Both your boys had the best lives possible and that’s all a piggy could want
In time you will find comfort in that
Look after you ….its a difficult time for you and your family
 
I'm so sorry. It's so hard to make the decision, but it's the last kindness we can give them. ((HUGS)) to you and popcorn free, Sparky, together with his friend again.
 
Popcorn happily over The Rainbow Bridge 🌈 sweet Sparky reunited with your brother.
Be happy and watch over those you've left behind 🌈
