Thanks, Maddy. Been looking at containers for his ashes. It is too painful--just gonna tell them to pick out a nice one.

How could I forget today is the feast of St. Perpetua? I dreamt about Patapsco last night :S

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...

It was 13 years ago this month that I adopted Lightning, my first piggy, my avatar pig. He was such a sweet boy I felt I had to get him a friend. I loved Pippin, his mate, but Pippin was not sweet. Frankly if he had been my first pig my next pet would have been a rabbit.

Lightning died the same way Patapsco did--of a a huge tumour, most likely malignant. I am thinking of Patapsco a lot. Even though I love Pepino and Pellegrino I still miss him and feel sad sometimes.

I am sorry Jane; it is never easy losing a pig or any furry friend for that matter. Grief comes in waves, some waves produce tears and some produce happy memories.

I'm glad you dream about your babies. They are always with us. Always...
