Thanks, Edie. He was a good little pig. He hopped over for me to pet his head before I took Rach to swim practice . . . he died right when we got to practice, @ 15 minutes later.
It's been a rough year, losing two fuzzy critters . . .
Cyndi--our last pig lived to be over 8 years old. Expected life span is 6-8 years, so Rocky was on the younger side. Up until a few days ago he was fine, though he did start feeling 'old age boney' where he wasn't as fat/muscled as he had been.
Thanks, Meg. He was such a good little pig, we really miss him. I'm just glad I had the chance to pet on him right before he died. He even came over to see me, which is touching and sad at the same time.
Poor Rocky. You have my sympathies.

That's a long life for a hamster, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteRocky had a great life! But you get a big (((hug))) from me.
So sorry, Margie. Even the littlest of furry creatures take up a big space in our lives.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Jody. All the little critters in our lives make a difference.
ReplyDelete. . . speaking of which, how is Mr. Kato's doppleganger doing?
I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet.
