[Gpdd] [RAINBOW BRIDGE] Condolences for Teddy

Stacy and Squee Squad
 
We were so very sorry to hear of the departure to the Rainbow Bridge of  your 
precious little fighter, Teddy. You and she had obviously put up quite a  
struggle, and 5 years is an impressive age for a piggie. Now she is in peace,  
free from stress and pain in that sunshine-filled meadow beside the  Bridge.
 
We don't think you should feel bad about not opting for the surgery. As you  
say, she did not seem to be suffering, and if she struggled to recover from 
her  bladderstone surgery, she may just not have made it through a second 
procedure.  We are sure you made the right decision, and you must not blame yourself 
for  being a bad piggie mom. We know that most of us are likely to part for 
the  Bridge during the same year, as we are almost all 4 years old, and will be 
 reaching old age around the same time, just like your own squad. It's like 
the  people you were at school or college with all start dying round the same 
time,  and the older you get, the more funerals you have to attend. Death is 
the one  certainty in life, and piggies start to get tired around 4 - 5 years 
old. We  consider anything over 4 years to be a bonus, and a sign that piggies 
are well  cared for. The fact you have two 6 year olds shows what an excellent 
piggie  slave Stacy is - so no excuse for guilt, OK?
 
May it bring you one tiny grain of comfort to know that we are thinking of  
you and sending a big cyberhug across the ocean from France.
