Yesterday, we had the heartbreaking decision to put Vegas to sleep. 😭💔 She was diagnosed with an aggressive lymphoma 3 weeks ago and she had steroids treatment for 2 weeks. During this past 3 weeks, you would not think she was actually dying because she acted normal and was eating and running around. We are a bit glad that she only really gone bad the last 24 hours of her life, when she bacame quiet and eventually stopped eating. She told us in her own way that it's time to say goodbye. 😭😭

We will miss her so much. When we adopted her as a baby, she wasn't really planned. Hubby just surprised me that he was adopting her. He always told me that he didn't want a piggy with black feet and nails because it's difficult to cut nails (I know stupid reason) but then he adopted a completely black piggy! She was such a joyful piggy. The only piggy we had that stands on her back legs and get so excited during feeding time. I'm sure I shared some video of it in my thread Pigging Out if you want to see it. Until we found her lumps in the neck 3 weeks ago, she was our healthiest piggy. We never had to take her to the vet until that time. Apart from the lice treatment last year, she has always been fine and was just usually a companion for the sick piggies (she lost 3 piggies during her life with us). She would've been 4 yrs old on July.

Thank you so much Vegas for making pigmum and pigdad's days with you so much brighter. You will never lose your place in our hearts. You are now with Sierra and Rocky (I know you just tolerated Ella when she was with you but be good to her again when you see her). 🌈 ❤️

I am so very sorry that you haven't had a bit longer but you have done absolutely the right thing and have minimised any unnecessary suffering. Sometimes, that is the only and most loving gift we have left to give.

Vegas could not have found a more loving home. :tu:

What a lovely tribute to beautiful Vegas.
She had such a lovely life with you both and will big holes in your hearts.
You gave her that last precious gift of love.
Be gentle with yourselves as you grieve.
Holding you in my heart ♥️
 
I’m so sorry you have had to make this difficult decision so soon. But it was made with love. Popcorn high at the bridge gorgeous. Take care ❤️
 
Vegas was such a lucky piggy. She had the best life with loving owners who knew what to let her go. Such a precious gift. Huge hugs. Sorry that you didn’t have longer together. Sleep tight beautiful Vegas x
 
I'm so sorry you lost your beautiful girl so soon- these aggressive lymphomas come from nowhere and take them so fast, but she had a wonderful life with you, and you saved her any suffering at the end- the toughest decision we can make for them, but made out of kindness. Sending hugs x
 
Thank you all for your messages. ❤️

We buried her beside Sierra's grave this morning. I can't help but cry every time I stand up and not see her in one of their fleece beds, or in their loft digging under the pile of hay. Hubby even said that he kept thinking the hay was moving in the loft even though no piggies was in there (Bryce and Whitney were both downstairs the whole day). 💔😭
 
Sending hugs to you both at this sad time. She was a beautiful piggy who had a happy life with you. She will take that love with her and be with her friends over the rainbow bridge.
popcorn free Vegas x
 
massive hugs to you buddy, so very sorry for your loss x
 
I’m sorry she has to go so soon. She had the best home with you. Hope I’m time the memories will bring more joy than pain. Lots of jugs to you all.

Sleep tight Vegas ❤️
 
Thank you all again for the messages guys. :hug: ❤️

Bryce and Whitney are fine. Bryce seemed to be quiet for a couple of days after Vegas passed away. Although you won't really noticed it much because he has always been a lazy . Whitney wasn't really bothered, probably because she hasn't been with Vegas for a long time and Vegas used to boss her around.
 
I’m sad to hear about lovely Vegas
She was living her best life with you all and that’s all we can ever do for our piggies
Take care and know that we understand
Popcorn freely lovely Vegas … go create mischief at RB 🥰
 
I’m so sorry to see your very sad news, Vegas was such a beautiful girl, sending ginormous hugs and sorry they’re so belated. Lymphoma is so horrible ☹️ She was such a lucky girl to have had such brilliant piggy parents and an amazing home where she was spoilt rotten :hug:x
Sleep tight Vegas you gorgeous lady ❤️❤️ xx
