[dogcatpiggymom at yahoo.com]

Dear Donna,
I am so sad to hear that you lost Becky!  I know you will miss her, so much and during this time, I hope you find comfort in knowing what a wonderful life you gave her.  She was a lucky little girl having YOU as her mommy.
I am thinking of you and if you need to talk about Becky, please do!
May Becky Rest in Peace and May Aunt Polly adjust to losing her.
Again, I'm so very sorry.
Hugs,
Joanne
Spicy, Merri, Macie, Teddy, Baci, and Sweetie

Until there are none, adopt one!  Don't buy while shelter animals die.

Dear Friends:
It is with a sad heart that I have to announce that my sweet little Becky 
passed on Sunday afternoon.  As several of you know, Becky became ill in 
July.  I took her to the vet, and she was given fluids and meds.  The 
vet thought it to be a mass, but was not quite sure of what was going 
on, so the symptoms were treated.  I took her home, did the syringe 
feedings of Critical Care and piggy mash. She rallied, displayed pep, 
energy and appetite, and returned to her little self for about a 
month. Last Wednesday, I noticed her appetite begining to dwindle, so back 
to the vet we went.  I took Aunt Polly for the ride as a 
"security blanket" for Becky - they are so very close. Comparing the two, and 
because of the progression, the vet was able to detect a huge mass. Becky 
was made comfortable and I took her home with me.  Becky never cried 
out or displayed pain.  She just went to sleep.  Becky and 
Aunt Polly came to live with me three years ago when they were left on the 
doorstep of another vet's office during one of the hottest days in July.  
She is guesstimated to be three and a half years old.  She was always 
extremely shy, but one of the sweetest piggies I have had.  It is strange- 
my Huck is the piggy that has had continuing health problems.  At (also 
guesstimated) six and a half, he has been on death's door several times and has 
fought back.  So the realization is that I have been expecting the worst 
for ole Huck, and his sweet self hangs in there - kind of like a cat with 9 
lives! - Becky was a shock.  Life is very precious - hug a 
piggy.  Becky is in the back yard under the Leland Cypress with St. Francis 
looking over her.  I am sad, but have found comfort knowing that she 
suffers no more, and is being lovingly watched by Peter Gurney and other piggy 
friends.  Sorry this was kind of lengthy.  Please keep Becky and Aunt 
Polly (her cagemate) in your prayers.
Love, Donna and the SC pigs
Huck, Thatcher, Big Jim, Aunt Polly, Zion, and Houdini
Becky, Tom, Latte, Romeo, Hershey, G.I. Joe, Trooper, and Rambo always in 
our hearts
