Didn't we used to have a SCAMPS(?) club for our older piggies? My vet had a piggie of his own that was about 9&1/2 when it died. He also has had many other very senior piggies. I take that as a good sign when my vet's piggies live so long! I remember Prince, the very old piggie. Such a cool story. Wish they could all live so long. Sigh...~Jaime~
