[Gpdd] Health: Triggers

[Ginger Fitzsimmons]

I'm so sorry Triggers lost his fight. Thank you for sharing his last  
snuggles. It made me cry, but it also helps to know what to expect  
when it is time for a pig to go. How lovely that he was able to  
snuggle before he had to go.

Holding you in our thoughts,
-ginger
