I’ve made the hard decision to give one of my boys up for adoption, and what i’m wondering is does he recognise me.
He knows a specific sound I make to mean treat time, and he wheeks everytime the stair creeks because most of the time it means foods coming, but I assume he won’t/doesn’t miss me specifically.
He does know my voice, if he gets spooked when having a cuddle I can speak to him and he’ll calm down/be more comfortable.
Everytime I go on holiday I have to work to get my bond back with the pigs, but I can’t help but imagine it as the same situation you see when an owner surrenders their dog or cat, and they’re so confused as to where their friend is. But I think Remis only connection to me is that I being food LOL.
Just wondering, maybe trying to find a way to ease the guilt. If anyone else has had to give up their pig/s, if you’d feel comfortable sharing your experience I would love to hear it. I just feel a bit alone (obviously i’m not the first to ever have to give an animal away, but it was always the one thing i would “never do”) because I told my grandmother today and she said why would you ever do that to him (give him away), but i’m doing it to try and give him a better life with a lifelong friend.
