I had to make one of the most heartbreaking journeys to the vet this morning to help my beloved Wilf go to the rainbow bridge. I will miss him so much and I don't know what to do with myself right now.
I don't get to see much of my family, so he was the one that was always there, making his presence felt by indicating that now I was in the room he would like some snacks with me. He was the one who would sit on my chest while I talked to him about my day and I would say 'just wait till I retire, I will spend loads more time with you.' Not to be. He was the most gentle, quiet and lovable piggy. I loved him so much and life will not be the same without him. I have cried constantly for him but know he is now not in pain the will be meeting up with all the other piggies, popcorning free.
This is the last photo of me and him taken this morning . RIp my darling Wilf until we meet again xx 🌈

I’m so sorry that you lost Wilf. You were with him all the way and did the best for him that you could possibly do. I am sure that he appreciated it and your company as well. Do take time to grieve. Hopefully in time the pain will blend into sweet memories. All the best ♥️

Popcorn free Wilf.
 
I’m so sorry, Wilf was so loved and he will have known just how much you loved him :hug:
Sleep tight little man 🌈
 
I’m so sorry. You really did all you could for him - no one could have done more, and he clearly knew how much he was loved. It’s the toughest decision we ever have to make for our fur babies, and you loved him enough to let him go. Huge hugs xx
 
I’m so sorry you had to make this decision. I had to make the same decision last month with my 16.5 year old border terrier. I agree it’s the hardest thing I have ever had to do. You made the decision with Wilfs best interests at the heart of it. He had a wonderful life with you. You gave him everything. He knew just how much you loved him. He will be waiting at the bridge for you as will my Eddie. 😍
 
So sorry for your loss. If only love could have saved him, he really couldn’t have asked for a better home. Sending love to you.
Sleep tight Wilf. x
 
So very sorry to read this news.
You did everything possible for Wilf and gave him a wonderful life.
Be gentle with yourself as you grieve
Holding you in my heart ❤️
 
So sorry for your loss 😔 you gave him a wonderful life with you 💗 sending big hugs 💗 popcorn free wilf 🌈
 
Wilf was clearly loved very much, he was lucky to have you. At times like this I always think of the quote "How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." My thoughts are with you.
 
Sorry for your loss. Wilf was obviously very loved and well cared for and lived a wonderful life. Sleep tight Wilf.
 
I hope I will not be thought of as morbid or dramatic but I just wanted to share this pic. I brought Wilf home today, and he is now with me not only in thought but in a way, physically. The pet cremation company were so kind, and sent me some lovely messages as he made his last journey. They gave me a card from Wilf and said he wanted me to have his paw prints. I have been in tears ever since.

How lovely of the pet cremation company. I hope having him back home and his paw prints can bring you some comfort. X
 
I’m so sad you had to make that decision. It’s a very hard thing to do and is made from your love for Wilf.
He was clearly very happy and well loved. I think it’s lovely you have his paw prints.
Look after yourself as you grieve 💔
