Hi Friends,

Wow, the last two wheeks have been a trying time for us. Our little Jr. 
passed about 3 wheeks ago due to an Upper Respirtory Infection that we 
certainly didn't catch in time. He was doing fine and the next morning when 
we woke, he quit eating and his eyes were crusted over. I went to the vet 
that morning and got him Baytril and got it administered as soon as 
possible. By that night, I sadly knew, he wasn't going to make it and I sat 
with him while my husband went to bed in tears. Jr. was his piggie, his 
pride and joy. I snoozed for 10 min and the other piggie rang the bell in 
their cage to wake me to let me know he was gone.

Then last night, I was in the bedroom getting ready for bed and I hear my 
hubby say, "what the..." and I kept asking him what, what? He caught me 
before I got out of the bedroom door and told me Ravi had passed and held me 
because I was going to pass out. I told him she was just drinking water 30 
min. ago and eating. She must have had a piggie heart attack. I so hope she 
didn't suffer. I am just beside myself. Ravi would have been 7 yrs. on 
Wednesday so I feel she lived a full life. We will still have her birthday 
in memory of her life.

So wierd that my piggie era is basically over. I have had piggies for over 
15 years. I still plan to be there for people with Q&A, but at this time I 
think feel emotionally ready to adopt again for awhile.  live in Colorado so 
I am open for helping someone that needs piggie vacation care. Maybe 
fostering would be good for me right now.

Sorry for the long post and thankyou all for listening. Again, to Bethany 
who lost Sooty, my sincere condolences to you. To all of my other friends 
who have lost their furry babies, my heart goes out to you as well. Healing 
wheeks to all who are with illness. Thank you again.



Warm Regards and Happy Wheeks,
