Lois-
  I'm very sorry to hear of the loss of your 2 piggies. Don't worry, 
alot of people don't understand how we can get so attached to our 
animals, but you have a whole group of friends here that truly do 
understand. I actually feel sorry for those people, because they will 
never know the unconditional love & joy that comes from giving an 
animal your heart. I think it's a nice thing that your son is 
sensitive enough to show his grief over the loss of his beloved 
piggie. Alot of guys that age would just try to act like it was no big 
deal. I think it shows a great deal of compassion & maturity in your 
son. I hope he comes around to Prince again sometime soon. 
Unfortunately, piggies, like people, are unpredictable & we never know 
what each day will bring. It's like that Garth Brooks song "The 
dance". I don't know if you're familiar with it, but I think it 
describes not only human relationships, but our relationships with our 
animals as well. Sure, there will always be pain, but the joy is 
almost always worth it. I look back at my time with Albert & there was 
so much pain at the end, but even if someone would have told me the 
day we bought him what was going to happen, I'd go thru it all again, 
because the time we had together was worth all that pain. I'd hate to 
think of your son missing those joyous moments with Prince because of 
being afraid to lose him. Anyway, I'm sorry for your losses & my 
thoughts & prayers are with you & your family.


***JAIME***, Molly the new pig in town! & Albert always in my heart.
