[Gpdd] [MISC] Angel crossed Rainbow Bridge

[CJfromVa at aol.com]

I wasn't sure which category to put this in, so I apologize if I'm posting in 
the wrong topic area.

My condolences to those who have recently lost their piggies. It's not 
difficult to form an incredible bond with our adorable, loving little creatures.  
And when they graze in the sun-washed fields of hay and clover, they forever 
have a place in our hearts.

Well, I've been putting this off for long enough, so here it is...

Thank you to everyone who offered their support and advice to help me help 
Angel through her injuries.  You guys are awesome, I got so many emails!  I 
followed your advice and tried to syringe her feed crushed pellets, baby food, 
pumpkin, water, pedialyte, and aspirin but it was too little too late. 
Unfortunately, because of my inaction and stupidity (I should have rushed her to a vet 
as soon as I got up on Saturday), Angel crossed Rainbow Bridge early Saturday 
evening.  Even if her injuries were too far great for medical intervention, 
they could have at least given her something to make her comfortable during the 
last few hours of her life.  I'm having a hard time forgiving myself for that 
because I know she suffered until the end.  As you might recall, I didn't think 
I would be able to bond with Angel after the loss of Katie.  Well, let me 
tell you, I did.  I came to appreciate her own little personality.  I will miss 
her "Feed me" wheeks and our cuddle time together.  

I have learned a painful lesson on the care of injured piggies. 

Sincerely,
CJ and Ginger-pig
