he's in the cage. she is the other end and hasn't been over to him yet. what do i do?
 
she won't come out the hay and he is at the other end. i think she knew in the vets when i cuddled him. :( she moved around in the carrier and his under the blanket. she always hides her face when she's scared. :( i think i might take him out now and cuddle him. i don't ever want to let go though.
 
it is so hard to let go, but you will when you are ready, i feel so sad for you, it is really heartbreaking losing one of your babies x
 
She will know, animals sense things differently to us. Just give her some extra love so she knows shes got you. Really sorry you lost him, you did everything you could for him :( x
 
thank you so much everyone.

maisie knew. when i took ches out she stayed in the hay for ages and ages but then came over to me for comfort i sat with her and me and o/h have comforted her and stroked her. she looks sad but she definitely knows he has gone. thankfully she has eaten and had a drink aswell. she is being so brave.

i took ches out of the cage and held him for a while. i cuddled him and kissed him. o/h has aswell. we both keep crying. i have cut some of his hair to keep. he had a white stripe on his lovely ginger head and it kind of twisted like a ponytail so i cut that off to keep. he is wrapped in a blanket now. a lovely lemon one with butterflies on. he looked so lovely on lemon. i don't want to go into detail on 'storing' his body but he is home until tomorrow when we will be visiting a lovely looking pet burial and crematorium place, we can say goodbye to him in the chapel and he will be cremated. it is an individual cremation. then his ashes will be brought home where he belongs.

i found cuddling him to be so lovely. he looks so peaceful and like he is asleep. he looks at peace and always looks like he is smiling. i took great comfort in looking after his body ready for tomorrow. i found it like my duty to look after him right until the end.

i can't stop crying and i miss him so much, it hurts so bad. i hope he knew how loved he was/is, and i'm glad he was happy. he was such a lovely pig, just so gentle and amazing. i will miss him forever.

i will post a tribute when i feel i can.

we will look after his maisie for him. they were so close. she will be having a new friend soon, not to replace ches, that could never happen, but so she can be as happy as possible again. i hope ches knows i am not replacing him, i just want to do right by maisie. i know i will love a new piggy but i will never ever forget ches. my gorgeous little chezzy chops.
 
I have just been in floods of tears reading this, so I can only imagine how you must be feeling right now. Chesney was clearly very well loved, and he would have known that.

Run free at the bride little one x
 
Its natural to cry, its like losing a member of the family. Its clear how much you loved him. He will always be with you in your heart and his memory will be carried on by you x
 
thank you everyone. sorry i have lots of threads now. i was panicking when i posted. x
