[Gpdd] [RAINBOW BRIDGE] Condolences for Prince Hamlet

[DebJonSara at aol.com]

Eve, Paddington and Agnes
 
We were so very sorry to hear of the departure to The Rainbow Bridge of  your 
Senior Citizen Ageing Miracle Pig, Hamlet. What a magnificent age he  reached 
- there can't be many piggies that make it beyond 8 years, and it must  be a 
tribute to the loving care you lavished upon him that he was able to enjoy  
such a prolonged life. We are sure he appreciated all you did for him,  
especially during the period he was preparing for his departure. As you say, he  beat 
the odds and became an old, old piggie, and we understand what you say  about 
"doing well about losing" him. Almost a year ago our most aged cat, Daisy,  
left peacefully for The Bridge at the age of 18 and three quarters, and although 
 we were sad to have her no longer with us, we were glad that she had chosen 
her  own time and place and that we had been lucky enough to have enjoyed her 
company  for such a long time. 


 
Paddington must be feeling his death terribly - we dread anything happening  
to one of our two older gents that have shared a cage all their lives.  
Paddington is probably too set in his ways to accept a new cagemate, but maybe  
another piggie or two in a cage next door would give him a bit more interest in  
life and in eating?
 
We are glad you recognised how supportive our very special community is  when 
a member leaves for The Bridge. We have found the same, and hope it gives  
you as much comfort in this time of bereavement as it has given us under similar 
 circumstances.
