[Gpdd] [RAINBOW BRIDGE] Condolences for Pansy

[DebJonSara at aol.com]

Dear Francine
 
We were all desperately sorry to hear of the departure of your beloved  
SCAMP, Pansy, for the Rainbow Bridge. It sounds as though she put up a brave  fight 
throughout her long life, and it is a tribute to the dedicated care you  gave 
her that she survived to such a ripe old age for a piggie. We are certain  
she will have known how dearly she was loved.
 
Slave Debbie has vowed to adopt no more piggies after the last of us Dolly  
Mixtures has departed - for us, it is the lack of adequate vet care here in  
France that is the major deterrent. But we have just adopted a new little chap,  
Soturi, because we had a lone piggie needing a friend (more on that elsewhere 
 when time can be found), so the pigless era is being pushed further and 
further  away. The piggies can't imagine how Debbie Slave would cope without the 
piggies  to cuddle and sing to, and Debbie Slave doesn't know how long she 
could stick  out the silence which is left when the piggie wheeks and burbles are 
removed ...  time will tell. But we do feel every sympathy for you have 
piglessness enforced  upon you after 14 years, and, from a household which includes 
cats, dogs,  chickens, geese, goats and even a duck, we can fully concord with 
you that very  much only a pig is a pig!
 
Maybe your parents will miss the wheeks and squiggles more than they  
anticipate and come round. If not, you'll just have to wait until you have a  place 
of your own where they can no longer dictate. In any event, we are  thinking of 
you at this very sad time, and wishing you well from across the  ocean.
 
Run free and popcorn, Pansy, in that meadow sweet
 
Debbie and the 11 Dolly Mixtures
