Dear all, this is my first post in this forum which i chanced upon when surfing the net on GP adoption. I hv decided to pen a post in memory of my beloved piggy....
My piggy - BEA went over the rainblw bridge on 25 JULY 2007. She was with me since X'mas 2000 for a good coming 7yrs. BEA is a white abby and the loveliest piggy in my eyes. Though BEA is just a GP, she's v intelligent who was trained to automatically return home if she wants us to feed her veg. She knows how to use her head to knock the little container used to put her fav strawberry treats and she'll come to scratch my legs to beg for e treats.
well, i guess she must hv been v lonely throughtout her life as i only had her as my GP and did not get another mate for her... cos i used to keep hamsters and they always fight, i was ignorant that GP are social animals.. sorry BEA...
She enjoys bath and trimming her fur, she sits quietly and let me groom her... She is a v tamed piggy and everyone in the family loves her. ..
She started to hv difficulty chewing her food and occassionally spits the food. I knew something's wrong and made an appt for a visit to the vet the following wee. However, she lost weight drastically and could not eat at all.... the vet said that her teeth were over-grown and she was unable to chew properly. The only way is for her to go under LA and do scaling. But,,, given BEA's old age at 7, the vet advised not to cos she might not wake up... i was devastated...i fed her critical care and doft pallets and she ate minimal... BEA soon became so sknny, i could hardly feel any meat... my heart was aching to see her in this state. I finally made another appt to the vet.. but she never made it....
On the morning she was dying, she made my whole family cried buckets..... she was so weak that she could not even walk w/o limping... that morning my mum discovered her, she had actually came out of her cage!!!! che had used her last strengh n energy to crawl out of her cage and fell on the floor... while everybody was sleeping.... we qiuckly put her on a towel when she was discovered collasped on the floor... She was motionless and we thot she was dead... weeping n crying her name, we noticed a weak movement of her feet.... we were glad she hv not left us.... from 7.30am-8.30am, she struggled every breath... my heart melted and sank when i see her in this state.... practically struggling to graspe her every breath ...at 8.30am, she kinda stretched her body and lifted her feet while lying on the floor... i knew something is going to happen... she opened her mouth v wide to struggle for her last breath... i cried my eyes swollen ,,,,, as i stroked her cold body helplessly....
BEA i miss u dearly, i miss not seeing and greeting u whenever i go home, i miss yr cuddles and comforting pats.... i know i'm losing u forever and this makes my heart sink to rock bottom. I miss the 7 yrs of joy u given me,,, I hope u were happy under my care.. the last thing i could do for u is to bury u at the park and visit u with some flowers. Hope u will be happy over the rainbow bridge where u hv other mates to accompany u..
Thank you BEA for teaching me to be a more compassionate being, thank you for being there for me when the world falls down on me.... i know i hv to let u go to free u from pain n suffering, i will remember u forever...hugs....
