Perpetua, Puzzle and Pepsi
My boys were so good!
This weekend I had to work both jobs and couldn't return home as all public transportation stopped Friday. I left them with a mountain of food and was really nervous considering Patapsco's tummy problems.
As soon as I approached the door I heard wheeking and when I got inside Patapsco was sitting on top of the pigloo. All the food was gone. Talk about a sight for sore eyes!

I had Patapsco put to sleep on February 8th. He had a huge pancreatic tumour in his abdomen which had metastasized, so even more drugs, tests and emergency surgery wouldn’t have saved him. He was beautiful, sweet, smart and perky until the end—it broke my heart to have him euthanized but I know he must have been in horrible pain.
He came at a turbulent time in my life—about three months after Puzzle’s death, three weeks after Perpetua’s death and about six weeks after the robbery. Meanwhile, the guy who saved my life in the robbery has cancer and it doesn’t look good. My heart aches for both of them.

It sounds like your boy was sent to you when you needed him. You gave him a wonderful home with lots of love, JaneDoe. I'm so sorry for your loss.
its difficult when any animal passes but i think pigs have a special place in their owners hearts...
Eleven years ago this month I brought home "Baby" Pandora. She eventually grew into her ears and head.
Even though she lived longer than any of my other pigs I called her "baby" because of her roundness and small size:
Honestly I thought a plain white pig was boring but she was cute and got along well with Pippin. Years after she died I was thinking of what a beautiful girl she grew up to be and that I wouldn't mind having another white piggy again. Then Pepino came into our lives...
