I have a very heavy heart because my gorgeous Bill went off to his forever sleep sometime in the night. I found him curled up in the hay, looking very peaceful this morning. A terrible shock! It’s as though he has just drifted off, he was fine last night eating some veggies on the sofa with Ted as usual. He had no signs of any illness apart from he had lost a little weight over last couple of weeks of about 40 gms. I didn’t feel too concerned, but perhaps I should have been ☹️
We are devastated and we miss you so much already. Wished I had known you were leaving us, I would have been there for you at the end. Bill you where the most sweet natured boy I’ve ever had. You were my little Poppet! You loved a snuggle on my lap every evening. You where the best buddie to your rambunctious brother Ted. You could be such a diva having your nails cut, shrieking away! You loved to be outside on the grass all day in the long days of summer with Ted, the pair of you munching away!
I am so glad and lucky to have had such a beautiful boy as you, you will be forever etched on my heart 💔

My last photo of you on Sunday evening and some more special ones of my special boy
Sleep tight my darling boy!

Oh I'm so sorry to hear this news, it's heartbreaking 😥 drifting off is the kindest way to go and all we can hope for when the time comes but to think of the amazing life you gave him, no piggie could ever ask for more love, freedom & happiness than you have clearly given.

Holding you in my thoughts and sending hugs at this sad time 💙 x
 
Oh god, love, I’m so so sorry.
He is absolutely gorgeous, and so loved. I agree that is the kindest way to go, try to find peace in that.
I’m holding you all in my heart at this sad time. ☹️
Be kind to yourself, honey. xoxox
 
Oh no. I’m so very sorry that Bill trotted off to the Rainbow Bridge last night. Such a shock for you. Big hugs to you and to Ted, too. Popcorn free handsome Bill xx
 
Noooooo! 😭 I'm so sorry for your loss! Bill was one of the famous piggies of the forum..they've just won the photo contest. 😢 I hope you, your family and Ted are alright despite the shock @Bill & Ted. Losing a beloved piggy is never easy.

Popcorn free Bill. ♥🌈
 
What the actual hell? I am so sorry 😔. I'm happy he went out with a bang and won the photo comp but I hope you are ok.. Feel free to message for a chat if ever you need. This one has really shocked me.

Nothing you mentioned health wise would alarm me, you couldn't have done any better for him

I am so sorry. What a dreadful shock for you.
Sending you and your family love and condolences I know how very loved and cherished your piggies are, it hurts so much when they leave us. Xx
 
When I read the title of this thread my reaction was WHAT?!?!? It was a terrible shock for you to find Bill like that. My heart goes out to you and your family and Ted. Look after yourself as you grieve. Popcorn free Bill.
 
Oh no I'm so sad to hear this, Bill and Ted had such a loveable stable bromance and them appearing as a pair on the forum has always been such a highlight... it sounds like a very peaceful exit from a very happy settled life for Bill, but such a shock and a huge loss for you and Ted :( sending many hugs x
 
Oh dear... I really wasn’t expecting that
My heart sank when I read his name 😔
I can’t even begin to imagine what you are feeling right now

“When tomorrow starts without me,
Know that we’re not far apart
For every time you think of me,
I shall be right there in your heart

So try your best to remember me,
And all our happy memories,
Then one day, you’ll be back with me”



Goodnight Bill ❤️
 
Oh God! My heart sank when I saw his name here :(
I am so sorry, please remember what love you gave him, and the amazing life he had with you and Ted. I do hope Ted is doing okay. Massive hugs to you, please be gentle with yourself x

sleep well handsome boy

RIP Bill

Thank you everyone for all your lovely comments and kind support, it’s really appreciated x Your Poem @Sophie B was beautiful! Ted seems to be alright for now, doing all piggie things, he did groom Bill this morning in an effort to get him to wake up and has spent some time with him so I think he knows what’s happened. We bought a lovely Big pot and spring plants and dug up a clump of snowdrops from the garden this afternoon. Bill is now resting amongst a blaze of colour in his favourite place (the garden) x

Thats a beautiful resting place for your beautiful boy xx
 
I am so very very sorry to read this.
It brought tears to my eyes to see that you lost handsome Bill - he and Ted are forum stars.
How wonder that the boys won the photo competition- a lovely memory.

Jemimah will say a special piggy prayer for Ted tonight.

Be gentle with yourself as you grieve.
 
I'm so sorry to hear that you've lost your handsome boy Bill, what an awful shock :(
He and Ted were such forum legends. I've tears in my eyes reading your tribute. :hug:

Popcorn free, Bill 🌈💔

I had to read that twice just to be sure, even if I don’t know any other Bill piggies. I’m so sorry for your loss. He was loved and hopefully his passing was pain free. And Ted was there for him too.

Keep hold of all those memories of the lap time and his wonderful personality. All the best and take good care of yourselves 💓

Popcorn free Bill.
 
I am so sorry that Bill has followed my Betsan the same way! :(

Try to take consolation that as deaths go, Bill has had one of the kindest. The shock and the pain is all for us to bear - as we would prefer it.

He had a wonderful life with you, so you do not have to have any regrets in that respect; just sadness that he is no longer with you.
