[Gpdd] [Rainbow Bridge] Buddy Zoram

[Genealogy/vonville/Cavy pigs/Ahnenvorschung]

Friday our over 6 year old Buddy Zoram (Abyssinian/Aby) passed away.  I saw him and said, "Oh, oh" and picked him up and had Ron give him a Priesthood Blessing.  Did not expect him to go tonight but we were blessed to be with him. The Priesthood Blessing said that he would pass calmly and peacefully and remember the love we have for him and that he would join some of his friends and family whom he had missed who had already passed and that he would remember us and await us.  He did pass peacefully and calmly.  I thanked him and cried.
He is a really really delightful pig and friend.  Have had him since he was 6 smonths old coming with 16 cat scratches upon him.  He's been ill the last 3 years and a patient patient, what a pig, sure love him.  I will miss petting his head as he thoroughly enjoyed and begged for that to be done to him thru the bars.  He actually sighed in delight sometimes.  (It was like an "umaax" to him like the Ferengi got when their ears were touched upon the Star Trek Deep Space Nine show :) )  He was the last pig living (after about 400) who had learned to go to my right shoulder when he wanted to go back to his house.  Special special pig who had much love in this life. 
I will see him again but, it doesn't mean that I won't miss him here as I do sincerely miss some of our other very special pigs who have been gone for up to 10 years: Mormon Nephi (Peruvian) and his kids Moroni Nephi, Patches aka Maharonimoriancumer Alma , Evelyn, their descendants and grandkid Mir Nephi (Silkie); and some of the really special rescues Schatzie Ruth (American), Mouse (Moskowitz) (American), Elvis Strokov (Peruvian mix), Hark the Herold Angels Sing (Aby and huge!), Herriat (Aby mix), Vincent (Crested Silkie type), Peter (Coronet), and the many others for whom my heart has a choice place and whom I really await to see again.
