Today Haven was helped along to rainbow bridge at the vets at 9am this morning.

For those of you who didnt know Haven, she was the most precious and special piggie i have ever met. From day 1 when i re homed you back in 2012, you were so confident. You slept in the open, loved cuddles, happy to be stoked in the cage and ran about like a loony both in your cage and during floor-time.
Haven faced a number of medical issues over the past year and a half...at first she had suspected kidney failure, but i then took her to a piggie savvy vet and she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. She then had a lump removal from her neck, she had severe arthritis down her right hand side and in her hip and back legs- but this never stopped you- always running about with your little limp- you ran about like a baby pig!
She then had an infection in her jaw and ear and a suspected infection in your hip joint.... This was something you tried to fight so hard....and for a while you fought it, but the infection was too bad and you let me know it was time.

Haven will be the brightest star in the sky tonight. You lived a good 5 years Haven and were the light of my life from the day I met you! You had the biggest wheek i ever heard...until then i always thought it was Honor! Even the morning you were laid to rest you wheeked when i came over to you and fed her your meds and critical care (as you couldn't eat solid foods despite how hard you tried).

Honor adored having you live with her for the short time she did...she really did love you and i promise to look after her and help her through her loss!

I feel like i could cry for ever! I am soooooo grateful to have had you in my life! Thank you my special angel! Love you forever and for always!

Oh Jenny, I am so sorry. I can't believe you had to let her go. You fought so hard for you beautiful special little girl, you really are a credit to your piggies, remember that. You have had to make the worst decision we can ever have to make for our pets, but you did it with thinking of nothing but love for her and not your own pain of losing her, that is a brave thing to do.

She was a huge forum piggie and extremely popular, I always loved seeing her photos and know how much you adored her. She will never be forgotten by you, Honor or her fans here on TGPF.

Night night pretty girl, you will be loved forever

RIP Haven

So sorry to hear that you lost beautiful Haven. You have some lovely photos to remember her by. You gave her the best life possible and just remember that. She will never be forgotten.

Thinking of you.

Popcorn free over the bridge precious girl x
 
Words fail us at the moment, Haven was such a special piggie, we always thought of her as part of our piggie family. Run free little wonder... xx
 
I'm so sorry Jenny, you 100% made the right decision for her. None of us will forget her. Night night beautiful angel.
 
What a beautiful tribute you wrote there, very special indeed and showed the commitment you have for your piggies. Sorry for your loss. Just care, love Lilian x

Run free little one and make your mommy proud.
 
I haven't been on the forum long, but your dedication and love shone through in your post's and pictures. As a caring owner we have to do right by our animals, even if it is incredibly painful to do so. You did exactly the right thing,she may be gone but you will carry her in your heart always. From one Jenny to another, loads of cuddles.
 
HUGS!

I am ever so sorry for your loss! A long illness bonds you even more closely together, and haven wouldn't have lived for as long without your good care and love. But it makes the grieving even harder...
RIP Haven - she will not be forgotten!
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. It is because we love them so much that it is so painful when they leave us. Popcorn free little one.
 
I am truly sorry Haven has gone. You are the most wonderful mum and I know you will be heartbroken. I loved seeing your posts on Haven. I nicknamed her and Honor the two Hs and enjoyed your posts. I really wish I could comfort you. I really feel for you and little Honor. Xx
 
Oh jenny, I am so sorry. You worked so hard to keep Haven well. She was such a gorgeous girl and a firm favourite of mine. Be kind to yourself and allow time to grieve.

Popcorn free little Haven, you will be missed x
 
RIP Haven.

She was a truly special little girl and a real fighter.

You did everything you possible could for her, including the bravest and kindest thing of letting her go peacefully and without pain.

Big hugs to you and Honor xx
 
Thank you everyone for your kind words. Its lovely to know how many people knew how wonderful she was. She was such a special girl. I miss her very much. My priority at the moment is keeping Honors spirits up. I am hoping to pair her up with another piggie in time and have contacted my local rescue and waiting for word as i know it could be a long wait.i may also visit my local rspca if no local piggies....u feel awful talking like this...but Honor loved having a friend and i know she will be missing Haven so its the kindest thing to do. I just don't want Haven to look down and think i am replacing her...because that's not possible. X

Aww, she won't think your replacing her, she would want you to do the best for Honor. These feelings are natural Jenny, it's part of the awful grief process. Huge hugs x
 
I've only just seen this - so sorry for your loss, it is so heartbreaking to lose a special pet. You did everything for her and she clearly had a great life. I hope honour is not too lonely. Hugs xx
 
Oh no :( I loved hearing about Haven and seeing her beautiful self in pigtures. She had an awesome life with you and Honor. I'm so sorry for your loss, sleep tight beautiful girl x
