They came into our lives in March 2007 and gave us their love & trust over the years. Spike was a shy nervous piggy but very loving and would have been happy to be carried about all day in a sling if I'd got one! He suffered with his bladder in the last few months of his life and was diagnosed with bladder cancer in September 2012. He was reluctantly put to sleep after medication failed to help him and he stopped eating, it was heartbreaking but for the best as he wasn't happy. He weakly gave me a kiss goodbye on my chin as if he knew.
Then a few weeks later my Jerry fell ill, he had a uri for months, despite changing his hay & sawdust he had a constant runny nose, medication eased his suffering but it never completely went. Despite that he ate for England and was a georgous big lad who would smother me in piggy kisses. He was such a character. Then four weeks after Spike died I found him struggling for breath, he was diagnosed with pneumonia and put to sleep. He also kissed my chin like he was saying Its ok Mum Ill be ok, I'm sure he felt my anguish as i was bawling. I was heartbroken.
Last night my last piggy and Jerrys brother was put to sleep, Fudge was so poorly bless him for months. He had a uti that wouldn't go, this last few weeks I've seen him weight halve and he wasn't happy at all. I was syringe feeding him in the end poor boy. Last night tho he detiorated and was straining terribly like he was trying to pass something, poss a stone and wheeking in pain it was very distressing I rushed him to the emergency vet and we came to the decision to have him put to sleep as he was very weak and poorly. I couldn't put him through an operation at his age and health. I'm so sad now but am trying to be comforted by the thought that my three boys are running about free of pain together in the sun.
They will be in my thoughts and heart forever and I feel blessed to have known them all for nearly six years x:0
