That's when I learned how they squeak, and purr, and snuggle, and burrow, and how insanely cute they can be!!

My heart goes out to you tonight. It is SO hard to lose our furbabies.

Thank you! :)

I remember when you & I went to pick out two new piggie friends, and we came home with scrappy little Schwartzie because he was so courageous standing up to his bully brother piggies, LOL! And Rivet, and older piggie with the wildest hair, like a punk rocker!

See what you started with Brian & Jeordie?! :D What a blessing all our piggie friends have been!

HUGS!

Sigh.......... so sad........ I'm so sorry. tears.
