My sweet, spunky Bandit joined Bolt (PTS 12/2/2023 for massive tumors) and Bunker (passed 1/8/2025 in the immediate post op period after bladder surgery) at the rainbow bridge today.



He was just a few days shy of 4 years 9 months old. He had multiple medical issues that we were managing, and today he lost interest in eating, so we knew it was time to go to the vet and ease his journey.
He was so full of personality all the way to the end. Just the other day he came up to the front of the pen when I had the gates to both his and Blaze's pens open. He ate a bunch of veggies, started wandering away when he was full. BUT THEN he got a gleam in his eye and came sauntering back like he was going for more veggies, then SPRINTED right past Blaze into Blaze's enclosure! Lol. His biggest goal in life was just to mess with the other piggy in his life. I'm glad that he had Blaze as a neighbor for the past month and a half.

Bandit getting a bath after getting ringworm from the stress losing Bunker and failed bonding attempt with Blaze. Poor fella. Still such an adorable hairdo even when sopping wet.

This photo is one of my favorites of Bandit. It took about 15 minutes of coaxing him to put his head through the costume, while videoing. After all that, I got about 1 frame that was more or less clear, and this was it!

From the same photo shoot. Bolt and Bandit looking like they are conspiring to eat the set props.

Bandit's last photo shoot with Bunker for holiday photos. We put a green screen in the back for easy photoshopping.
My sweet piggies, you were all such good boys. Momma loves you. Sleep well.
