I've never mentioned it before, because I thought people would think me strange and not believe me anyway, but I have seen Schmichael since he passed.
When he was here he would go into the piggy room, and they would all start wheeking loudly at him and they would all be stood up at the bars of their cages when I went to see what was happening. On a few occasions just after he went to Rainbow Bridge I would hear the piggies all going crazy, just as if they were being entertained by Schmichael, and when I went in there they would be stood at the bars going crazy, but obviously Schmichael wasn't there. Once when it happened I went in and there was a strong rabbit smell in there. I kept thinking why can they see him but I can't.
A few months ago I was sat downstairs syringe feeding Pops and watching TV and I looked up from giving Pops her next syringe full and there sat in front of one of the cages I have in the lounge, was Schmichael. As clear as anything! It just seemed normal for him to be there as that's where he always was, guarding the piggies. For a few seconds it didn't really seem strange to be seeing him, and then when I looked again he was gone. I wasn't even thinking of him at the time so I couldn't just have imagined him. Then last Saturday I had been outside to feed the pigs who are now in the garage and as I came back in the front door he was sat at the bottom of the stairs! Again within seconds he had gone, but I have no doubt about what I saw.
I've only told a few people about this because I know I am risking total ridicule by some, but I know what I saw and I know my little man is still here with us.
